Eat, Pray, Queef

"Eat, Pray, Queef" is the fourth episode of the thirteenth season of the American animated television series South Park.

The episode was written and directed by series co-founder Trey Parker, and was rated TV-MA L in the United States.

The episode received generally positive reviews and, according to Nielsen Media Research, was seen by more than three million households in its original airing, making it the most-watched Comedy Central production of the week.
