But eventually, no matter what, I wake up in my bed, wearing my same old clothes. And the worst part? Nobody even remembers me dying.

“Cthulhu Cthulhu
Cthulhu Cthulhu
The evil hate-filled Cthulhu
From a dimension far away
Flying through gates of madness
And into your heart
Turning dreams into nightmares
Destroying all he sees
Now begins a new adventure for me
You and the dark one Cthulhu
Sharing adventures and smiles
It’s a magical bond two pals can share
Soon the whole world will be made aware
Of you and the death lord Cthulhu
Making the world a better place
Together you will have so much fun
Sending all of my stupid friends to oblivion!
You and the dark one Cthulhu.”

I’m very, very proud to be one of the people who realized very quickly they were doing a Totoro spoof. The slow, growing smile on Cartman’s face was spot-on and inspired.
Yeah, I actually noticed when Cartman was crawling on the stomach and flipped his legs to the front (EXACTLY like Mae). I started freaking out, it was great. I hear the writers are Miyazaki fans so it totally makes sense they would spoof Totoro (again…see imagination land episodes).
So I wasn’t the only one to hear “Tonari no Totoro” instead of “Cthulhu Cthulhu”!
A friend of mine was completely confused by the whole scene… until he realized it was from a cartoon he had never seen. I immediately sent him the original scene on youTube.
I’ve never watched any of those cartoons mentioned here… And here I was, thinking how brilliant Parker and Stone were for bringing H.P. Lovecraft into the SouthPark universe. And the whole Kenny/Mysterion thing is a total hoot!

Oops… I also meant to mention that I shouldn’t have been surprised, given they have a history of paying homage to favorites of theirs, like the “Cripple Fight” scene, coming right out of the fight scene in “They Live.”

Funny story (sorta): when I was at Comic-Con this past summer, I got to sit down with Keith David for a small roundtable interview (he’s going to be in ‘The Cape’ early next year). I got to throw in a quick mention that I thought the fight scene in ‘They Live’ had to be in the top five or so fighting scenes in mainstream movies in recent memory. Actually, it was released in 1988, so … not so recent.
Anyway he and the rest of the table seemed to get a kick out of that old call-back.
Man I’m gettin’ old.
