Line #14 Recap/SouthParkS3E9Jewbilee


1	'''Original air date:''' 7/28/1999
2
3	On the same night as the previous two episodes, Kyle and Ike have plans of their own. They're headed to a Jew Scout camp, where there is to be a celebration of the impending meteor shower. Before the Broflovskis can leave home, however, Kenny comes calling with no one with whom to spend the evening. Gerald and Shelia hesitantly allow him to come along, and they drop the boys off before joining the Marshes' meteor shower party. \
4	Meanwhile, an elder at the Jew Scout meeting has defected and is planning to sic Haman on Moses and the other Jews...
5	----
6	!! Tropes
7	* AsTheGoodBookSays: While driving to camp, Sheila recites Genesis 16:1-2 from the KJV Bible, about Abraham (then Abram) being ordered by his wife Sarai (Sarah) to sleep with her concubine Hagar the Egyptian... before skipping straight to the binding of Isaac (Sarah's son).
8	* BearyFriendly: A grizzly bear picks off Kenny and the Squirts and hauls them all to her cave one by one. It turns out that it was her cub's birthday, and she brought the kids over to play.
9	* BigNo: Four times in a row: First Kyle when Kenny makes a HeroicSacrifice to stop Haman, then Haman when Moses escapes the conch shell, then anti-Semitic Rabbi Garth screams it twice when he realizes his plans have been foiled.
10	* BlatantLies: Gerald tells Kyle to play up Squirts so Ike will take interest in it.
11	--> '''Kyle:''' What, you want me to lie? \
12	'''Gerald:''' [[BluntYes Yeah, lie]].
13	* HeroicSacrifice: This time around, Kenny dies when he breaks a conch shell open with his head, but it frees Moses from entrapment and saves the Scout group.
14	* {{Jerkass}}: The Jewish Elders kick out an Asian kid from Scouts and then kick out Kenny to fend for himself in the middle of nowhere.
15	* NothingCanSaveUsNow: All seems lost when the Jew Scouts and their leaders are trapped in a cabin and Kenny is dragged off by a bear.
16	* PunBasedTitle: The episode's title is a play on "Jew" and a portmanteau of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_(biblical) "Jubilee"]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Scout_Jamboree "Jamboree"]]. Since it takes place on the night of a meteor shower, its title may even be a deliberate reference to [[ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics Jubilee the X-Man]].
17	* ScoutOut: Kyle and Ike are each involved in a different level of Jew Scouts, along with their peers. In addition to the trope's usual trappings, "Jewbilee" brings up the point that many religious groups have organizations which promote connections between scouting and their respective faiths.
18	* SealedGoodInACan: Rabbi Garth seals Moses away in a conch shell while everyone is distracted by expelling Kenny.
19	* ShoutOut:
20	** Moses looks exactly like the MCP from ''Film/{{Tron}}''.
21	** The lead elder of the council has a Star of David in a Kryptonian shield design for a ChestInsignia.
22	** Moses kills the worshiper of Haman like the energy-creature in ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier''.
23	** The squirts' supervisor yells "It's a trap!" prior to the bear capturing the squirts, a reference to Admiral Ackbar's famous utterance of the same line in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
24	* SynchronousEpisodes: Coincides with "Cat Orgy" and "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub". This episode converges with the latter at the end as Kyle and Stan meet up.
25	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Kenny dies when he uses his head to break open the conch shell which frees Moses.
26	* TwoLinesNoWaiting: In a subplot, a Scout Leader leads Ike's group on a bear hunt.
27	* UseYourHead: Kenny frees Moses by breaking the conch shell open with his head.
28	* WithFriendsLikeThese: As soon as Kenny gets caught as a goyim in Jewbilee, Kyle immediately sells him out by claiming he's Kenny's patsy.
29	* WouldHurtAChild: Garth kicks Kenny in the groin after Kenny steals the book of Prophecies. He also holds the Jew Scouts at gunpoint along with the elders.
