After Cartman protests against (what he thinks is) the school publicizing the male students' penis sizes, he is sent to anger management classes.
"T.M.I." contains examples of:
- Bait-and-Switch: Cartman seems unfazed when the psychiatrist tests Cartman's temper by hurling fat remarks at him. It turns out that during this, Cartman was plotting payback at him.
- Berserk Button: Being told they've got a small penis for every man. The moment Randy's own pandering math is corrected with the right formula, he goes ballistic.
- Blatant Lies: Cartman claims to have measured his own penis, which he says is 13.7 inches. None of the boys are convinced.
- Bullying a Dragon: The psychiatrist taunting a child who's made to see him specifically for having anger issues is one thing, but taunting him over his weight and basically asking him out in the open to "get a flash of anger" over it leads to—in order—Cartman ruining his life in under a minute via falsified chats with a teenager written in his name, tricking his wife into thinking he was arrested for it, and manipulating her into committing suicide. Not much later into the episode, it's shown that Cartman successfully cowed him to his whims.
- Butt-Monkey: The new T.M.I. measurement method brings everyone previously considered small back to average, which makes them all happy, except Cartman who is still pissed he's still below the norm.
- Call-Back: One of the names in the chart is Bridon Gueermo.
- Character Development: A negative, but awesome example—in the past, Cartman would just explode with rage over being called fat. Here, he calmly orchestrates a death over the whole thing in under a minute.
- Didn't Think This Through: Cartman immediately assumes that the chart put up by the school is for the boys' penis sizes, instead of height measurements, and doesn't question why the school would do that and immediately does his own penis measurements, which reveals that his penis is the smallest.
- Disproportionate Retribution: The psychiatrist tries to invoke anger in his patient by calling him fat to see how he reacts. Cartman responds by using his iPhone to write a text message to the psychiatrist's wife and claim the psychiatrist was arrested for sexual chats with a teenager online. The psychiatrist's wife calls her husband and kills herself over the phone.
- Flat "What": Cartman gives one after learning that the school actually didn't post the boys' penis sizes.
- Groin Attack: Ms. Turnod kicks Randy in the balls during their fight in the classroom.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Cartman's misunderstanding of the height measurements, followed by posting the actual penis sizes of every boy in school, only gives everyone confirmation he does have the smallest dick. The situation then escalates to the point that even when the national average is changed to appease Randy and the other protesters, Cartman's still considered small and everyone knows it.
- Karma Houdini: The "Pissed Off and Angry Party" receive no punishment for holding up Fedexes and for causing anarchy.
- Not Helping Your Case: When Principal Victoria tells Cartman he's got an anger problem, he replies with an angry "Fuck you, no I don't!"
- Pretty Fly for a White Guy: Wayne D, one of the students in the anger management class, is a skinny white teenager who dresses and acts like an over-the-top caricature of a Gangbanger.
- The Smurfette Principle: Even though she's Transgender, Gretchen is the only female student in the anger management class.
- Take That!: One of the students in anger management is a conservative that obsessively hates Obama and blames his problems on the "facist liberal government". The fact that this ideology spreads to the rest of the Pissed Off and Angry Party can be interpreted as the episode saying that angry conservatives have tiny dicks.
- Tame His Anger: Cartman is sent to anger management. It doesn't work.
- Teeny Weenie: It turns out that everyone is angry because of their penis size.
- Tempting Fate: After Wendy expresses relief that Ms. Turnod has come to teach the class, Randy rushes in and beats up Turnod.
