[edit] Plot
After the TV show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy begins showing, metrosexuality becomes a major fad among both adults and children, and all the men in town begin acting as if they're effeminate. There are a few who resist the fad. Kyle, who doesn't want to conform to metrosexuality and winds up being ostracized and beaten up ("Hey, let's beat up the straight kid!"). There are Mr. Garrison and Mr. Slave, two actual gay men who are likewise opposed to the fad since they feel the gay culture should be unique to gays. Finally, there is Chef, who chooses not to follow the metrosexual fad and encourages Kyle to remain the way he usually is, after Kyle tells Chef that he didn't feel metrosexual following a makeover. The women of the town are initially in favor of the fad because their husbands and sons would show good hygiene and communicate with them, but soon grow tired of it when they start paying more attention to their own looks than the ladies'.
Kyle, Mr. Garrison, and Mr. Slave all go to New York to try to kill the Fab Five, the hosts of Queer Eye, but their mission fails. They then talk to the insouciant stars, who refuse to stop what they are doing. Mr. Garrison demands to know how gays could betray their own people, and then slowly realizes, they're not gay at all. The five, suddenly turning grave, reveal the truth: their skins burst open, revealing that they are actually from an ancient race of Crab People, planning to turn men weak in order to enslave the world.
Captured by the Crab People, the teachers and Kyle are unable to stop the five from their plans to metrosexualize the president; however, the women, finally fed up with everything, attack the Queer Eye guys and kill them. They explain that men need to be masculine and that's what really makes them attractive, even if they are gross. The producer says he will call the police to arrest them, until he discovers that the bodies of the Fab Five have crab people within. The producer, stricken, decides it's time to bring back the Latino fashion -- which the citizens of South Park immediately adopt.
Kyle is accepted back at school, but when he expresses anger at his prior exiling, the others call him "gay" and go play football. He tries to walk in a different direction but he sighs and says "Goddamnit" then follows them to play football.
[edit] Censorship
- When aired in syndication, Mr. Garrison and Jimbo’s entire conversation (“Those shoes say you take it in the butt!”) is censored (albeit rather sloppily, sounding worse than it really is), and the word “pound” from the sentence “...those shoes say you pound butt!” is bleeped.
