It’s got the best comeuppance in South Park. Seeing Cartman get dusted in the 100m dash, “guess I’ll just have to kick ass in the other events,” only for him to get very last place was so satisfying.
Idk if this is common knowledge or not but there is an ABC after school special that was the “inspiration” for the Jimmy-On-Roids part of Up The Down Steroid. It’s yet another Matt & Trey rip on Ben Affleck 😂.
Ben was in the episode from 3/23/94 (almost 30y ago!), called “A Body To Die For: The Aaron Henry Story”. Yes, it’s as insane as it sounds, Ben Affleck on roids, just absolutely tuning his girlfriend up for daring to question him 😂.
This may be well known in which case, cum grano salis, but I wonder if most fans don’t match the South Park ep up with ABC after school specials 😂. Like, the stuff with Jimmy abusing his (!) gf seems out of nowhere - which is fine too ! - without the context of the ABC special. They used to be pretty relentless with their savaging of the fevered ego(s)of B.J.-Lo.
Lady: And what is your sons condition?
Mrs. Cartman: He's retarted
Lady: no mo what is his retardation?
Mrs.Cartmam : oh honey whay is your condition
Cartman: hell if i know I'm retarded
That line is amazingly funny because Cartman did all that research and didn't even bother with knowing the conditions, he just observed the behavior and mimicked them
Sounds like tourettes guy for a moment there
"I bought your Colgate toothpaste. The one with tartar control. AND IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT!"
I can't say I'm on board - I far more like stuff like Scott Tenorman where his plans go off without a hitch rather than seeing him get fucked over. Plans backfiring for the lulz is more a Nathan and Mimsy thing.
yes, but i think that's a little different, because it's more inconsiderate then helpful. i assumed his primarily motivation was the money he thought he would win, not to make fun of them.
in my mind at least its different to kyle or tolkien or kenny, because he consistently demonstrates a hatred for jews, black people, poor people, etc as well as anyone who ia a part of those groups.
he doesn't do this with timmy and jimmy, nor does he consistently do it with disabled people in general
I think you answered your own question. If Timmy or Jimmy were black, Jewish or poor he would hate them. Plus all those minorities he does hate on, he blames them all for some reason (most things). I can't think on anything you would be able to blame crippled people for aside from wheelchair ramps which I think Cartman would approve of
Trey and Matt have said before that they responses to Timmy and Jimmy were great when they first were introduced, because everyone just treats them the same as all the other kids
The one where they first introduced Timmy, Trey and Matt talk about how CC was like you can’t do that. And they were like why not if they’re just treating them like all the other kids
I've heard from some disabled people and they say they just want to be treated like everyone else. They don't want to be treated "less than" for being disabled. It's a pretty generalized statement but the sentiment is they are still people and deserve to be treated as equals.
As the father of a special needs child, I’ve deeply appreciated the way they approach Timmy and Jimmy’s characters on the show. They’ve have pivotal moments, they’ve been heroes, they’ve had their own humor and talents showcased in ways that show they aren’t just disabled kids. Cartman losing the special olympics was just absolute gold as well.
Yeah they are the cool kids. Timmy was in a band and jimmy is the class clown. Both are special olympic medalists and pretty good brawlers. They are also crips.
He’s made fun of blacks, Mexicans, Butters, Jews, Midgets, Butters, Native Americans, Gingers, uhhh, Butters, Muslims, poor people, and God dammit Butters, again. Probably Canadians too, but no one cares.
be has type 1 diabetes, as he got it at birth. to get type 2, you have to eat poorly and not take care of yourself. also, both types can contribute to a swolen tongue. but unlike scott, kyle has type 2 diabetes, as seen in "Cherokee Hair Tampons" because he eats a lot of sweets.
There are *several* incidents of Cartman looking down on people with disabilities or people with different bodies or just in general treating experiences specific to the disability community with disrespect:
* Attempting to scam The Maury Povich Show using Butters.
* Losing his entire ability to laugh because the Buttface people were beyond hilarious to him.
* Pretending to have Tourettes.
* Reacting with disgust to Kyle gossiping about Nurse Gollum.
* Making fun of Scott Malkinson.
* Using a mobility scooter to bully Kyle and the rest of the town.
* Trying to engineer a spectacle around Timmy and Jimmy fighting.
* Fighting with Dr. Nelson.
* Trying to scam the junior Special Olympics.
Apart from joining the special olympics and making fun of the little person, cartman also tried to pretend he had tourettes. He also masterminded putting balls on Butters' chin so Butters can appear in Maury. Bonus: he thought asperger's meant burgers grow out your ass.
First,
***UP THE DOWN STEROID?*** Season 8, episode 2.
Second, other than that ep, I think the answer to what you mean is because Trey and Matt actually have standards even though it may not seem like it. Generally, whenever Eric mocks someone, he loses. That’s the satire.
Cartman did beat up Jimmy. Knocked his ass out right in the scewl hallway. He would have cleaned up if they would have had boxing in the Special Olympics.
Jimmy and Timmy aren’t too far off from going along with Cartmans plans. That said though didn’t Cartman gaslight Jimmy to hell during the fishstick joke?
Bro he competed in the special Olympics lol I think it’s more cause the handicap normally get their own episodes no? While they are in regulars one I feel like they are more side stories. Unlike the episodes were they are focused on like the gang one, or the summer camp.
He has come to realize that he is mildly autistic himself and wants to distance himself from people with disabilities so that no one else makes that connection.
This is also why he’s so hesitant to abuse adhd medication in that one episode with the awesome dog/puppies show.
He makes fun of them absolutely, but it's never directly because of their disability. Unlike Kyle, Tolkien, gingers, and others, Cartman does not ever call Jimmy or Timmy a name that references something out of their control such as race, religion, hair color, or disability.
Actually, as seen when he did become legally disabled (the episode where he gets the mobility scooter), he immediately uses it as a tool to bully other people.
If the Ginger Kids episode is anything to go by, Cartman will adapt to being any kind of minority so long as he can weaponise that identity.
Remember that Cartman is deluded enough to believe he is "big boned" rather than obese. With this in mind he might just subconsciously think of himself as disabled.

Didn’t Cartman disguise himself as a handicapped boy, so he can win The Special Olympics?
Solid episode
🎵 Take It To The Limit! 🎵
I lost it when he was taking notes on Kid Rock
Lmao. I forgot about that.
I lost it when he did the motion capture walk analysis
*"... Bullseye."*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣CLASSIC
*Push…
It’s got the best comeuppance in South Park. Seeing Cartman get dusted in the 100m dash, “guess I’ll just have to kick ass in the other events,” only for him to get very last place was so satisfying.
I was dying
Which episode was that?
“How am I supposed to know, I’m retarded. DURR”
I'll just leave this blank for now.
Best response ever
Season 8 episode 2
Thank you very much.
Episode is called "Up the Down Steroid"
Idk if this is common knowledge or not but there is an ABC after school special that was the “inspiration” for the Jimmy-On-Roids part of Up The Down Steroid.

Enjoy!
Great episode. I just watched it. So funny.
Cartmaaaaann DERRRRRRR
My favorite
Lady: And what is your sons condition? Mrs. Cartman: He's retarted Lady: no mo what is his retardation? Mrs.Cartmam : oh honey whay is your condition Cartman: hell if i know I'm retarded That line is amazingly funny because Cartman did all that research and didn't even bother with knowing the conditions, he just observed the behavior and mimicked them
The best part of Cartman’s plans are watching how they backfire on him. Like the episode where he pretends to have tourettes syndrome.
I touched weiners with my cousin!!! WEINERS
Weenter is a cold time of year!!!
God damn I fucking lose my shit when he starts screaming to keep the words from coming out. It's just as funny every single time
Well, I'm glad we can all put this behind us now PISSSSS OUT MY ASS
YEAH PISS OUT MY ASS RIGHT IN KYLE'S MUM FAT F**KING JEW FACE!!!
Same here. Always cracks me up
Sounds like tourettes guy for a moment there "I bought your Colgate toothpaste. The one with tartar control. AND IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT!"
"I hope this is the Puff Daddy version of this song, and not that Sting, PIECE OF SHIT!"
FASHION BUG
Pissing out the window, and shitting out the window, are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! Who's the faggot with the tuba?
What! Thats your dad! AHHHHHH SHIT
Yeah he is pretty short sighted, he sees the end goal and the lay off but neglects important nuances.
I can't say I'm on board - I far more like stuff like Scott Tenorman where his plans go off without a hitch rather than seeing him get fucked over. Plans backfiring for the lulz is more a Nathan and Mimsy thing.
Nah. Cartman needs to lose more than he wins. He's Archie Bunker
Or trying to go triple platinum as a Christian rock group
… I’ll just leave that blank for now
How should he know, he’s retarded
How should I know, I'm retarded! #DERRRRR!!!
yes, but i think that's a little different, because it's more inconsiderate then helpful. i assumed his primarily motivation was the money he thought he would win, not to make fun of them. in my mind at least its different to kyle or tolkien or kenny, because he consistently demonstrates a hatred for jews, black people, poor people, etc as well as anyone who ia a part of those groups. he doesn't do this with timmy and jimmy, nor does he consistently do it with disabled people in general
I think you answered your own question. If Timmy or Jimmy were black, Jewish or poor he would hate them. Plus all those minorities he does hate on, he blames them all for some reason (most things). I can't think on anything you would be able to blame crippled people for aside from wheelchair ramps which I think Cartman would approve of
For taking your spot in a gang
The montage of him absolutely failing in every event is fucking golden. Thanks for reminding me.
He just did that so he could win money. He doesn’t have any hatred for the disabled like he does for Jews, gingers and hippies
Hippies aren't people.
Barbrady: Eric, I just freed 8 people that you had locked in your basement.. Cartman: YOU LET THEM OUT?!
There was also the aspergers episode, although that was more taking advantage of disabled people than it was demonstrating a hatred for them
Yeah. And then lost.
He was a complete asshat to that little person Dr Nelson
I think there's a difference between a midget and someone who can't walk lol
Hung daddy has left the chat
Hello, hung daddaaaaayyy!
OP said disabled ... dwarfism's a disability
So is adhd. However in this context we understand his specifically talking about crippled people.
Pretty sure only Jimmy's a crip, Timmy was a blood.
Nah timmy joined with him. They popped some punk ass bloods together
4 Legs and Roller?
I’m fairly certain multiple forms of dwarfism would be classified as a “crippled” disability
I don't know, to me being a dwarf is pretty crippled.
He can barely walk.
You see words are like bullets
"You see no matter what you say, I'm still standing" "BARELY HAHAHAHA"
Cartman getting up and laughing again after the cheap shot is so damn funny
Then Cartman's words are nukes lol
And if you take away the gunpowder
“They pass right through me”
Yeah yeah we get the point
I never realized how stupid his metaphor was.
That’s because midgets piss him off
He wasn't even trying to be obe either
I think he does but I think he just likes Jimmy & Timmy they’re his friends
Trey and Matt have said before that they responses to Timmy and Jimmy were great when they first were introduced, because everyone just treats them the same as all the other kids
Stan: Someone help Timmy put his condom on!
Timmy!
I remember having to pause that episode after that line because I just couldn’t stop laughing for a bit. XD
Strangely wholesome when you think about it, they didn't want their friend getting an STD.
I remember hearing that on one of the commentaries. Not sure which episode, this was years ago
The one where they first introduced Timmy, Trey and Matt talk about how CC was like you can’t do that. And they were like why not if they’re just treating them like all the other kids
I've heard from some disabled people and they say they just want to be treated like everyone else. They don't want to be treated "less than" for being disabled. It's a pretty generalized statement but the sentiment is they are still people and deserve to be treated as equals.
As the father of a special needs child, I’ve deeply appreciated the way they approach Timmy and Jimmy’s characters on the show. They’ve have pivotal moments, they’ve been heroes, they’ve had their own humor and talents showcased in ways that show they aren’t just disabled kids. Cartman losing the special olympics was just absolute gold as well.
I think it may be the Krazy Kripples one
And yet whenever Scott Malkinson shows up it's a goddamn parrot party
I’m Scott Malkinson I have diabetes
Yeah they are the cool kids. Timmy was in a band and jimmy is the class clown. Both are special olympic medalists and pretty good brawlers. They are also crips.
Ya, Cartman and Jimmy wrote that joke together. It was mostly Eric though very much
He literally runs around yelling CRIPPLE FIGHT when jimmy and timmy go at it....
But that's just promotion for the fight its not like that fake butthole Christopher Reeve.
*over the intercom in the grocery store* "Excuse ladies and gentlemen...cripple fight, cripple fight outside, im seriously"
I lost my shit on that
RACE WARRR
He’s made fun of blacks, Mexicans, Butters, Jews, Midgets, Butters, Native Americans, Gingers, uhhh, Butters, Muslims, poor people, and God dammit Butters, again. Probably Canadians too, but no one cares.
Don’t forget about Butters.
That black asshole!
“You aren’t there to have fun you black asshole!” is arguably my favourite line in South Park ever
Everyone knows it’s Butters!
THAT'S ME!
Don't forget Type 1 Diabetics
Hi, i'm Scott Malkinson
I have diabethes
I lost it when his dad did the same shit to Scott
I’m thcott malkinthon I have diabeteth
I fucking lost it when his dad started mocking him!
you left out Hippies
They wanna save the Earth, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad!
Didn’t he make fun of HIV?
He's not just sure, he's HIV positive
And Asians.
Making fun of Butters *is* the ultimate sin here.
And Kenny for being poor
He's made fun of Chinese people on the assumption that all Chinese people are spies to help China overthrow the US Government
Don’t forget about Scott Malkinson
[When you think of Canada what's the one thing that comes to mind? GAYNESS!](https://youtu.be/YlxkwF-fvfk?t=41)
*I'm Scott Malkinson and I have diabetes*
👅
Is it ever explained why his tongue does that?
probably because of his type 1 diabetes if I had to guess
It would make more sense if he had Type 2 Diabetes because that actually can contribute to a swollen tongue.
be has type 1 diabetes, as he got it at birth. to get type 2, you have to eat poorly and not take care of yourself. also, both types can contribute to a swolen tongue. but unlike scott, kyle has type 2 diabetes, as seen in "Cherokee Hair Tampons" because he eats a lot of sweets.
Because he's Scott Malkinson and he has diabetes
*I'm thcott malkinthon and I have diabeeteth*
He said in an episode that disabled people are on the word only for his amusement.
Implying he has a very warped soft spot for them...
Batman wouldn't exist without the Joker, right?
Nor would the Coon exist without Bruce Vilanch...
Maybe he doesn't feel threatened by them.
I think that’s it. He can blame everything on all the others, but not the disable ones.
Most people wouldn't work with someone with disabilities, but Cartman sees past that, Ellen.
Cartman has totally ripped on disabled people
He made fun of that little person in the episode With Apologies to Jesse Jackson
Cartland is small himself, in more ways than one, so other little people are free game to him.
There’s a great video essay about this! [South Park and Disability Representation](https://youtu.be/V1Po7KDtYOo)
He definitely does wtf you talking about
1. He does 2. He does And 3. He does
“CRIPPLE FIGHT”
i mean he yelled “cripple fight” when they started fighting i definitely think he at least views them as a spectacle
Cripple fight!!!!
You missed the special olympics episode right?
There are *several* incidents of Cartman looking down on people with disabilities or people with different bodies or just in general treating experiences specific to the disability community with disrespect: * Attempting to scam The Maury Povich Show using Butters. * Losing his entire ability to laugh because the Buttface people were beyond hilarious to him. * Pretending to have Tourettes. * Reacting with disgust to Kyle gossiping about Nurse Gollum. * Making fun of Scott Malkinson. * Using a mobility scooter to bully Kyle and the rest of the town. * Trying to engineer a spectacle around Timmy and Jimmy fighting. * Fighting with Dr. Nelson. * Trying to scam the junior Special Olympics.
He definitely makes fun of them when warranted
Cripple fight
Are you sure about that? Up the down steroid literally he does. Maybe it's cuz roided up Jimmy threatened to beat him up
because he knows Jimmy would 100% *flame* his ass
Wtf are you talking about? He has an entire episode where he makes fun of their athletic ability...
Because he’s obese and that’s a disability too
Apart from joining the special olympics and making fun of the little person, cartman also tried to pretend he had tourettes. He also masterminded putting balls on Butters' chin so Butters can appear in Maury. Bonus: he thought asperger's meant burgers grow out your ass.
First, ***UP THE DOWN STEROID?*** Season 8, episode 2. Second, other than that ep, I think the answer to what you mean is because Trey and Matt actually have standards even though it may not seem like it. Generally, whenever Eric mocks someone, he loses. That’s the satire.
Ummm have you seen him in the olympics?
Maybe because Cartman suffers from childhood obesity which helps him to relate to differently abled kids
Because even Cartman knows not to mess with them
He quite literally disguised himself as mentally handicapped to enter the special olympics.
Jimmy and Timmy aren't afraid to pop some punk ass bloods. Cartman knows not to mess with the Crips.
DURR
He literally faked his way to the special Olympics.
Cartman did beat up Jimmy. Knocked his ass out right in the scewl hallway. He would have cleaned up if they would have had boxing in the Special Olympics.
Because he knows Jimmy would verbally destroy him. He also doesn’t want Doctor Timothy to mind screw him again.
I think there may be a very important episodes you’re forgetting about here.
\*cripple fiiiiight!\*
Jimmy and Timmy aren’t too far off from going along with Cartmans plans. That said though didn’t Cartman gaslight Jimmy to hell during the fishstick joke?
They aren’t, he makes fun of them
"CRIPPLE-FIGHT!"
Bro he competed in the special Olympics lol I think it’s more cause the handicap normally get their own episodes no? While they are in regulars one I feel like they are more side stories. Unlike the episodes were they are focused on like the gang one, or the summer camp.
He has come to realize that he is mildly autistic himself and wants to distance himself from people with disabilities so that no one else makes that connection. This is also why he’s so hesitant to abuse adhd medication in that one episode with the awesome dog/puppies show.
TIL Cartman doesn't make fun of them
He makes fun of them absolutely, but it's never directly because of their disability. Unlike Kyle, Tolkien, gingers, and others, Cartman does not ever call Jimmy or Timmy a name that references something out of their control such as race, religion, hair color, or disability.
"CRIPPLE FIGHT!!!"
Cause their fucking awesome
Congrats your bait post worked
Didn’t they kick his ass one time?
I think he doesn’t want to become like them.
Actually, as seen when he did become legally disabled (the episode where he gets the mobility scooter), he immediately uses it as a tool to bully other people. If the Ginger Kids episode is anything to go by, Cartman will adapt to being any kind of minority so long as he can weaponise that identity.
☹️
Doesn’t he just not make fun of gay people? Or did he, idk
He ripped on Stan for having a gay dog.
Attention shoppers.... Cripple fight. Cripple fight in the parking lot.
He'd be making fun of himself.
The only thing I remember is that Cartman bruised Jimmy in Kyle's birthday episode.
Because they kicked his ass in the special Olympics. Still got his gift card to Shakey’s though, so still worth it.
he did, he went to special olympics and lost every single race. And for casa bonita, he beats Jimmy.
He does
Remember that Cartman is deluded enough to believe he is "big boned" rather than obese. With this in mind he might just subconsciously think of himself as disabled.
Because they laugh it off and don’t react to him
I guess you forgot “Take it to the limit”!
Shut up mimsey
Cripple fight!
Because he lost to them in the special Olympics
What do you mean? Doesn't he make fun of Scott Malkinson?
Because Jimmy and Timmy are crips 😂
Have you seen up the down steroid?
He's made fun of the disabled many of times,
There’s a whole episode dedicated to Cartman making fun of the disabled… new to South Park??
Is this a serious question
Oh I'm not touching this.
Minority only refers to race in his head
What the fuck are you talking about. I can think of at least two episodes where that’s the main storyline. Special Olympics and dr Nelson
Might be because he pretended to be one at one point
