Eric Cartman is hiding something in his bedroom that could change the entire outcome of the Presidential election.
Tropes:
- Adults Dressed as Children: Downplayed, since Cartman is a child. But he dons a childish get-up with suspenders and a giant lollipop (making him look even younger), just to cry for his mom and singlehandedly manipulate the election.
- The Bad Guys Win: The Chinese gets the rights to Star Wars while Obama remains president.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: Obama and the Chinese vs. Mickey Mouse, while Cartman plays both sides.
- Call-Back: Duck President portrays Mitt Romney.
- Continuity Nod: When Mickey Mouse shows up, Stan immediately gets concerned, recalling the last time he appeared.
- Cyanide Pill: Parodied when Butters swallows an almond M&M after his involvement in rigging the election is revealed.
- Heh Heh, You Said "X": Cartman chuckles each times a flight attendant says "warm nuts."
- Laser-Guided Karma: Cartman gets screwed out of the deal after defecting to Disney, as the boys and the police decide to burn the ballots when Cartman was meant to release them.
- Plot Allergy: When cornered by the other boys, Butters swallows an almond M&M. This leads him into the hospital, keeping Cartman's plan up.
- Ripped from the Headlines: Not just for the 2012 elections but also Disney's acquisition of Star Wars.
- Running Gag:
- General Tso's chicken jokes, to the point Kyle wins a $5000 gift certificate for P.F. Chang's.
- Cartman laughing at 'warm nuts'.
- Skewed Priorities: The news report on the stolen ballots gets derailed after Kyle makes the millionth "General Tso's chicken" joke.
- The Starscream: Cartman switches sides to Mickey Mouse so he can have a spot in the new Star Wars movies.
- Take That!:
