"Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow" is episode 505 of the Comedy Central series South Park. It originally aired on July 18, 2001.
[edit] Plot synopsis
The whole class gets roped into helping to make an Earth Day festival for a group of violent environmentalists, however this interferes with the boys' plan to see a Terrance and Phillip show; Kyle lies and claims that they can get the pair to come to the Earth Day event, which they assume they can since they did save the duo's life (in the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut).
However, they soon discover that Terrance and Phillip have each gone solo, Terrance (who's gained a considerable amount of weight) continuing the show with a new "Phillip" and Phillip working on Canadian Shakespeare performances. Terrance claims that Phillip only read his lines and didn't help write their material; Phillip claims Terrance never allowed him to express himself creatively. Kyle lies to get each to independently come to practice for the show, but they are cold and get into a fight. The Earth Day people, furious, threaten the boys if they cannot provide the promised entertainment, and begin to dismember Kenny to make their point (although he stays alive throughout the rest of the episode).
The best that Kyle can provide is a tape of a documentary Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow. The environmentalists are angry and try to kill them, but the pair both see the record of their long career together and reconcile.
[edit] Trivia
- Originally this episode was entitled "Terrance and Garfunkel" or "Terrance and Phillip: True Hollywood Story."
- When Cartman says to Phillip that he'll make him eat his parents, this is a reference to "Scott Tenorman Must Die."
- The documentary claims that Terrance and Phillip's first movie, Not Without My Anus, interrupted The John Schneider Variety Hour, and caused fury among viewers. This is a reference to the episode "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus", the first episode in Season 2, which was an April Fool's Day joke.
