Original air date: 4/30/2003
South Park residents are forced out of their homes when an Indian casino takes their land.
Tropes:
- Backstory Invader: Parodied. A random kid with "ALEX" written on his shirt appears in multiple scenes, each time giving a generic line any other character could have said. It takes until the very end of the episode for anyone to comment on it:Stan: Dude, who the hell are you?!
Alex: Alex. Alex Glick. I got to come on and do the guest voice thingy.
Kyle: What?! Get the hell out of here!
Alex: [exiting] Hi Mom! Hi Dad! Hi Jill! - Big "NO!": The Indian chief when 31 black comes up.
- Casino Episode: The entire population of South Park goes to a Native American Casino and lose all their money.
- Comically Missing the Point: When Cartman suggests the kids raise the money needed to buy back the town by infecting Kyle with AIDS and starting a charity fund that they steal from, Stan rejects it... because they only have one day to get the money.
- Community-Threatening Construction: Evil Native Americans want to plow the town under in order to make a freeway bypass that goes directly to their casino.
- Crazy Cat Lady: The old bum who makes Stan inhale the paint thinner.
- Description Cut: When Stan recalls all the good memories of South Park... that consists entirely of all the ridiculous disasters the town has met with in the past.
- Did Not Think This Through: Butters suggests they raise the money for the town by putting on a dog parade and selling tickets to their parents. Stan reminds him their parents are the ones who need the money.
- Evil Colonialist: Parodied by having the Native Americans take the place of the Europeans, stealing the land of the majority white South Park residents, and when they refuse to move, giving them disease-ridden blankets (with a 2% death rate!). Hell, even the title is a pun.
- Evil Laugh: The Indians' ha-ha-has, which is all synced up between them and sounds more like a stereotypical ritualistic chant.
- A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: Everyone in South Park gamble away their newly won 350 thousand dollars which would've been enough to save their town just because they wanted to be rich as well. Stan calls them out on it, but Randy tells him to just drop it ("Stan... okay?").
- Greed: The people of South Park pull off a miracle and win enough money to save the town... and then promptly lose it because they let the bet ride so they can be super-rich.
- Hi, Mom!: Done with Alex.Kyle: What?! Get the hell out of here!Alex: (walks off-screen waving) Hi Mom! Hi Dad! Hi Jill!
- Hypocritical Humor: In one instance, Chief Runs With Premise calls the citizens of South Park "round-eyes". The Native Americans' eyes are no less round than any typical South Park character's.
- Insistent Terminology: No matter how many the evil things the Native Americans do, anyone who calls them Indians is instantly corrected into calling them Native Americans, which they then proceed to do and apologize for their mistake, even Mr. Garrison.
- Junkie Prophet: Parodied. Stan huffs paint thinner in order to find the cure to the SARS that the Native Americans infected the people of South Park with.
- Like Parent, Like Child: When the boys are trying to come up with fundraising ideas, Butters suggests a dog parade and is turned down. Later, when they come to the adults with their idea, Stephen excitedly asks if it's a dog parade.
- Never My Fault: Randy gets angry at his son for calling him out for ruining the town just because the adults got greedy, telling him you don't stop gambling when you're on a hot streak.Stan: A winning streak?! You played ONE GAME!
- "Not So Different" Remark: Stan calls everyone out for being greedy (blowing their winning that could have saved their town) like the Native Americans. Randy angrily denies the comparison.Randy: Hey, mister!! We're not like them, all right?! Now, we may have pie in the sky dreams once in a while, but we aren't the ones kicking people out of their homes! So don't you compare us to those cold-hearted, money-grubbing, evil stinky Indians! I'm sorry, Native Americans.
- Persecution Flip: The history of American colonization and Native American displacement... with roles reversed.
- Prompting Nudge: The Indian chief's wife has to nudge her husband so he would come forward with the good news that the townspeople of South Park will have their properties handed back to them for saving his son from SARS, instead of just giving them all 5 dollars of credit in his casino.
- Punny Name: Chief Runs With Premise and his son, Premise Running Thin.
- Shout-Out: "You had me at 'free blanket,'" is paraphrased from Jerry Maguire.
- Stereotype Flip: Indian Americans are depicted as more greedy than the rest of the Americans.
- Ungrateful Bastard: The Indian chief's first offer for the town willingly curing a disease he inadvertently gave his own son, even after he went out of his way to nearly make them homeless for the sake of his casino? Five dollars credit in said casino. It takes a Prompting Nudge from his wife to make him drop the casino-over-the-town plan.
