* LaserGuidedKarma: Cartman trying to force Liane to get breast surgery completely backfires on Cartman when Liane refuses to goes with Cartman's demands, while Cartman ends up getting ridiculously huge breast implants instead. It's also a long-delayed but well-deserved karma for [[Recap/SouthParkS6E10BebesBoobsDestroySociety mocking Wendy getting breast implants]].

** As corrupt and racist as Sgt. Yates is, even he doesn't like Karens. Randy tries to get Tolkien arrested because his family has a streaming service, even though Tolkien just came over for food and technically isn't doing anything. When Randy is explaining this to Yates, you can tell he doesn't want to deal with this crap.

'''Paramount+ release date:''' 6/1/2022

** Gender changing surgery for pre-pubescent kids is spoofed. Liane is skeptical her son could get the implants until he reminds her "It's 2022." She has a brief look of horror on her face, but still refuses to give in and get them herself. It's later revealed Cartman used the threat of Cancel Culture to force the doctor to perform the surgery, a shot at Progressive persuasion techniques. Though, since this is Cartman, it could be a jab to those who ASSUME how those things work...However, since states like Oregon and California have legalized such practices in the same year the special aired, the implication is not too far off.

* GagBoobs: Cartman ends up getting ridiculously huge breast implants by the end of the special.

* ContinuityNod: This isn't the first time that [[Recap/SouthParkS6E10BebesBoobsDestroySociety someone gets breast implants for attention]]. Also not the first time that [[Recap/SouthParkS10E7Tsst Cartman ran away from home only to be rejected due to his]] TheFriendNobodyLikes status. Also, [=ManBearPig=] and its global warming allegory, Pi-Pi and the water park that has more pee than water, Cartman living in a hot dog, Credigree Weed vs. Tegridy Farms, the South Park realtors and their leaning back poses, Matt Damon's ad, and Kenny loving boobs.

* NoodleIncident: In order to get the doctors to go forward with the Breast Implant Surgery, Cartman used the threat of "canceling" them if they refused, but we never get to see said threat, [[TakeOurWordForIt only Liane's line about it AFTER Cartman's surgery]]. It is debated on whose on the recieving in of TakeThat that is spoofing the situation.
** Gender changing surgery for pre-pubescent kids. Liane is skeptical her son could get the implants until he reminds her "It's 2022." She has a brief look of horror on her face, but still refuses to give in and get them herself. Cartman's alleged used the threat of Cancel Culture to force the doctor to perform the surgery, a shot at Progressive persuasion techniques.
** People who use "Cancel Culture" on wild assumption. By now, Eric Cartman has been shown to lie, manipulate, and sabotage others to get what he wants. He has taken gross advantage of rules and special exceptions (like claiming to be being trans for special bathroom rights, using school morning announcements to run political attack ads in forms of questions, and faking mental handicaps to either 'cheat' at Special Olympics or make Anti-Semitic statements without punishment). He also tends to act out on reckless and ill-inform impulses (his surgery here is a good example of that). And considering how "Cancel Culture" itself being a broad and generalized term, used mostly by people who see themselves as victims in a changing world, it does seem easy to see someone like Cartman would "think" what Cancel Culture is about and use it to his advantage.
*** Plus: Having someone like Cartman to "advocate" the existence of "Cancel Culture" isn't going to do any real favors. If it was someone like PC Principal, it might have a different edge to it to make a proper jab at it.
*** Also keep in mind: This kind of surgery was meant for children who WANT to transition for the sake of it, while Cartman did it as an attempt to get his mom to have the implants.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: Steve Black is missing after being stabbed and dumped down a water slide, [=ManBearPig=] and Pi-Pi are well on their way to using up all of Denver's water supply and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Cartman has enormous fake breasts.]]

'''Liane:''' Because ''he'' made me quit my job! And ''I'' promised myself that I would ''never'' give in to him ever again!\\
'''Cartman:''' Get fake tits, or I'll call the police, Mom!\\

'''Liane:''' Then you'll just have to run away.\\

'''Liane:''' I'm sure she would like that.\\

'''Liane:''' I have given in to you too many times, Eric. ''It stops '''now'''''!

* BitingTheHandHumor: Similar to what "[[Recap/SouthParkS23EP9BasicCable Basic Cable]]" did for the rapidly quaint cable television, this special criticizes the practices of streaming services, when this special aired on one. The BigBad Pi-Pi also seems to be an allegory for Paramount Plus (the initials being P.P.), having relied on other streaming services before taking the content for themselves.

* BuxomIsBetter: Cartman is banking on Liane getting breast implants [[GoldDigger so that she can seduce Mr. Cussler and convince him to let them live with him]]. But Liane, thoroughly fed up with Cartman's horseshit after he cost them their home, refuses to even consider it. When Cartman threatens her by saying he'll get the breast implants himself if she won't, she offhandedly calls his bluff, and he ends up with them.

* CharacterDevelopment: In this special, Liane is sticking to her guns, refusing to give an inch anymore to Eric and his lunacy after he forced her to quit her job, which caused her to be unable to pay for their house's rent and end up living in a hot dog stand. Plus she is still angry at her son for what he did.
