Poor and Stupid

After some experiments, his dream comes true, and he receives his own race car after his consumption of Vagisil brings massive attention to the product, much to the dismay of his friend Kenny, who tries to stop Cartman from giving his favorite event a bad reputation.

[citation needed] The episode opens as Stan and Kyle find Cartman crying in front of his locker, lamenting that he is disheartened by an essay assignment by Mr. Garrison: "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up".

Later, while watching Two and a Half Men, Cartman sees a commercial for Vagisil that lists short-term memory loss as a possible side effect, thus he shoplifts some and consumes it.

Cartman's antics cause the news media to wonder if all NASCAR fans are as stupid as he seems to be, infuriating Kenny who begins to take serious matters into his own hands.

Kenny, furious at Eric's behaviour, storms to Cartman's house just in time for a visit from Vagisil founder Geoff Hamill and his wife Patty.

At Cartman's first race in his Vagisil car, he drives badly: crashing into other drivers, pulling Danica Patrick under the wheel, and mowing down spectators.

Suddenly, Patty Hamill, fed up of her husband's disrespectful and condescending remarks toward her, gets onto the track and takes Jimmie Johnson's damaged car.

"Poor and Stupid" was written and directed by series co-founder Trey Parker, and was rated TV-MA LV in the United States.

[6] Merrill Barr of Film School Rejects was more positive, calling "Poor and Stupid" a "fine episode of South Park".
