The Hobbit (South Park)

[1] The story centers upon Wendy Testaburger's attempts to raise awareness of media impact on body image, which leads to a crusade by rapper Kanye West to convince the world that his then-fiancée, Kim Kardashian, is not a hobbit.

When the team captain, Wendy Testaburger, learns Lisa is infatuated with Butters Stotch, she suggests asking him on a date to help boost her confidence.

At a ceremony in which Pope Francis is named Time magazine's Person of the Year, West storms the stage to again challenge the characterization of Kardashian as a "hobbit".

Wendy appears on the Channel 9 Morning News to speak out against how the media's inauthentic images of women create an unrealistic standard for girls to live up to, but she is again dismissed as a "hater".

Max Nicholson of IGN gave the episode a rating of 8.7 out of 10, saying, that it "ended Season 17 on a high note, thanks to a well-thought-out premise and a significant character arc for Wendy (probably her best).

He went on to say, "The fact that South Park doesn't take its foot off the neck of this episode and return the world back to normal gives the entire endeavor more power.

He called it "the series' most biting social satire of the whole season," and praised Trey Parker and Matt Stone's ability to "tell the perfect 30-minute joke.

She listed Kanye West's inadvertent comparing of Kim Kardashian to a hobbit along with her being "Butters' perception of true female beauty" among its highlights.
