[1] In the episode, the boys disguise Butters as an individual with testicles on his chin, allowing him to win them a prize on a television show.
In the green room, he meets other variously deformed people, who welcome Butters to their union, which ensures that US TV talk shows interview their members regularly.
The operator tells him they aren't currently interviewing people with deformities, but are trying to find "out of control kids" for a future episode.
The freaks strike in protest of Maury's decision to stop interviewing people with deformities, and head to Butters' house to recruit him.
The deformed people's union hijacks the TV studio's video screen and broadcasts a plea to the audience.
[2] The union members present a music video about looking for the "True Freak Label" on talk shows, and most of the audience agrees and leave the studio.
[3] "Freak Strike," along with the sixteen other episodes from South Park: the Complete Sixth Season, were released on a three-disc DVD set in the United States on October 11, 2005.
