Plot

The episode mirrors the opening of the very first South Park episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe," as Cartman arrives and describes a dream about alien abduction. Small changes appear, like Cartman calling Ike a "semen-puking asshole dickhead" after Kyle tells him not to call his brother a "dildo," and Ike yelling "Suck my balls" and "Don't kick the goddamn baby!" The kids realize everything has happened before and decide they are trapped in a "repeat." With Chef, they try to deal with Cartman's anal probe, first visiting a proctologist and then a scientist. Cartman refuses to activate the satellite unless Kyle puts his finger in his butt. After Cartman farts seven times to torment him, Kyle finally does it. The scientist, Jeff Goldblum, figures out he can reverse the polarity of the message from the alien ship. Visitors appear, and the kids and Chef run, but the children get abducted. On the ship, they meet Najix, an alien who looks like Stan's father, claiming he chose a form they would like. The kids hate it because it reminds them of the movie Contact. Najix reveals his true form: a hideous monster with yellow and green skin, four legs, and sharp teeth. The children make him transform into various celebrities and TV characters, until Cartman suggests "a taco that craps ice cream." Najix then explains that he and other aliens produce a reality show called Earth. All of Earth's species—including Asians, bears, ducks, Jews, deer, and Hispanics—were brought from other planets for the show, and everyone on Earth is secretly filmed and watched.
