Butt Out

Common card · No. 368228

"Butt Out" is the thirteenth episode of the seventh season of the American animated television series South Park, and the 109th episode overall. It first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on December 3, 2003. In the episode, the boys are caught smoking, but in order to avoid punishment, they blame tobacco companies for making them want to smoke. Film director and anti-smoking campaigner Rob Reiner arrives in the town and attempts to ban public smoking and bring down tobacco companies, using increasingly extreme and dishonest methods. The episode pokes fun at the formulaic storyline of some South Park episodes (including the movie), which start with the boys getting themselves in trouble and inciting a controversy between the townsfolk and a national interest group (or a major catastrophe) while trying to avoid punishments, subsequently learning a lesson from this conflict.
