"The Wacky Molestation Adventure" is the sixteenth and penultimate episode of the fourth season of the animated television series South Park, and the 64th episode of the series overall. Written and directed by series co-creator Trey Parker, it originally aired in the United States on December 13, 2000 on Comedy Central. In the episode, the children of South Park remove all adults from the town by claiming that they molested them. With the town to themselves, they create a new society, but it quickly deteriorates and separate groups are formed. Much of the episode's plot is inspired by the 1984 film Children of the Corn, based on the Stephen King short story, as well as “Miri,” an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. The 1976 film Logan's Run is also an influence.
In the summer of 2013, fans voted "The Wacky Molestation Adventure" as the best episode of Season 4.[citation needed]
Plot
[edit] | This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (January 2024) |
Cartman wins tickets to a concert, but Kyle’s parents forbid him from going unless he brings democracy to Cuba. After Kyle convinces Fidel Castro to democratize Cuba, his parents still refuse. Frustrated, Kyle falsely accuses his parents of molestation, leading to their arrest. Inspired by Kyle, all the children in town accuse their parents, resulting in a child-run South Park.
The town becomes divided into two factions: Smiley Town, led by Cartman, and Treasure Cove, led by Stan and Kyle. A visiting couple, Mark and Linda, gets caught in the chaos and learns of bizarre rituals like "Carousel" and "The Provider." They realize the town's disorder stems from the children’s accusations. Mark gives a speech reminding the kids of their parents' importance, leading them to call the police and clear the adults’ names.
The parents return, believing they were cured of nonexistent "sick urges," while the children resume normal activities. Mark and Linda leave South Park, deciding not to have kids after their experience.
