. The drama itself opens in a courtroom in Canada
, with Terrance on trial for the murder of a local doctor; Phillip is his lawyer
while Terrance and Phillip's sworn nemesis, Scott, who has had a long hatred of the duo's toilet humour, is acting as the prosecutor. Scott uses a group of seemingly airtight exhibits such as a hammer, a piece of Terrance's shirt, and an incriminating haiku
to prove Terrance's guilt, while Terrance's defense consists of nothing but a long string of fart jokes. Ultimately, the jury returns a verdict of not guilty. Angered, Scott promises vengeance. He is ultimately approached by Iraq
i dictator Saddam Hussein
, proposing a deal: Saddam would assist in getting Terrance and Phillip out of Canada, in exchange for Scott assisting Saddam and his Iraqi associates into Canada. Scott is apprehensive about trusting Saddam, but agrees to the deal. The pair then conspires to kidnap Sally, daughter to Terrance and Celine Dion
, and hold her hostage, as bait to lure Terrance and Phillip to Tehran
; Saddam's soldiers would then murder Terrance and Phillip on arrival.
Terrance and Phillip become aware of the kidnapping when they receive a letter, but they immediately locate Sally, unguarded, upon arrival in Tehran. Indifferently, the duo return Sally to her home, where Saddam has now taken control. Terrance's ex-wife, Celine Dion
, is now dating, and has become pregnant by, a friend of the duo named Ugly Bob, who rather looks very much like them. While the couple discuss their relationship, Saddam interrupts and takes them hostage, with Celine having planned to sing at the "Roughrider
- Rough Rider
Football Game." Scott has also become worried about the presence of the Iraqi soldiers in Canada, but becomes infuriated when he finds that Terrance and Phillip have returned to Canada safely. He confronts Saddam about the double-cross, but Saddam's armed guards scare him into backing away. It is revealed that Saddam is trying to take over Canada as the first step in a plan for world domination. Terrance and Phillip arrive at the game. Instead of following a plan set up by Scott to commit suicide by using a bomb they come up with a new plan and put on gas masks. With brute force everyone farts a huge gas cloud which kills Saddam and his soldiers. Scott arrives, and is annoyed to find not only that Terrance and Phillip are still alive, but "that after all [his] criticism, it was farting that saved Canada". Terrance, Phillip, Celine, and everyone else (excluding Scott) celebrate their freedom with a rendition of "O Canada
". During the credits, an announcement is made that the solution to who Cartman's father is would be answered in a few weeks.
"Terrance and Philip in Not Without My Anus" was written by Trisha Nixon and South Park co-creators Trey Parker
and Matt Stone
, and directed by Parker. It was the second season premiere and first episode centered completely around Terrance and Phillip, fictional cartoon characters within the South Park show.
The episode, which first aired aired April 1, 1998, was an April Fools' Day
prank by Parker and Stone on South Park fans, who were anxiously waiting to learn the identity of Cartman
's father after the cliffhanger
ending of "Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut
", the first season
finale. Instead, Parker and Stone presented an episode entirely focused on a Terrance and Phillip cartoon, with nothing in the story about Cartman's father. Upset fans wrote more than 2,000 angry e-mail complaints to Comedy Central
within a week of the episode's original broadcast, and media outlets said some fans harbored a grudge against the show more than five years after the episode was broadcast. Matt Stone said to Entertainment Weekly
in response to the angry fan response, "If you get that pissed off because you don't know who a little construction paper kid's father is, then there's really something wrong with you." Comedy Central originally planned to air "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut
", the episode with the true identity of Cartman's father, on May 20, 1998, but the air-date was moved up to April 22, 1998, in response to the angry feedback from fans. Allan Johnson of the Chicago Tribune
said Comedy Central was "punking out" with the decision.
Several reviewers noted a significant number of crude and vulgar humor in "Terrance and Philip in Not Without My Anus", even by South Park standards; The Sydney Morning Herald
noted the episode contained 29 separate fart jokes in the span of 22 minutes. Global Television Network
in Canada reported no complaints about the episode in the weeks after its release; Claire Buckley of the Toronto Sun
said this suggested, "that Canadians either have lives or are grateful for any representation on U.S. television, even as gassy animated cable access hosts."
said of the episode, "Fans rioted. Some jumped ship and never came back. The lesson: Pay off our expectations, or you'll be sorry." Jim Minge of the Omaha World-Herald
said South Park fans were "duped" by the episode. Philip Martin of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
, who said in May 1998 the South Park phenomenon was "dead", described the April Fools' prank as "lamentable" and part of the reason for the show's apparent decline. Others, however, praised Parker and Stone for making the move at the risk of upsetting fans. Tim Clodfelter of the Winston-Salem Journal
said, "It was a funny, clever move (that) quickly separated the fans who truly "got" (Parker and Stone's) humor from those who were just watching for the dirty jokes." Jon Casimir of The Sydney Morning Herald said, "It is gratifying, in an entertainment world dominated by market research and common denominators, to see a program that obviously doesn't care if you like it or not." However, he said the characterization of Terrance and Phillip are too thin to be particularly funny, and added that the novelty of the prank is lost in repeats in later years.
Jakob Von Bayer said the episode continued a long history of South Park Canada-bashing: "South Park has gotten a lot of comic mileage out of Canada over the years. ... This episode portrays a country full of Bob and Doug McKenzie
s; Toronto
is but a highway town en route to Buffalo
." "Terrance and Philip in Not Without My Anus" was among the episodes featured in a 2006 list by the Winnipeg Free Press
of the ten most memorable South Park episodes. The Toronto Sun
listed the episode as one of the most memorable television moments of 1998, and the single most memorable moment from the month of April. The prank played by the airing of this episode was revisited a number of times in subsequent episodes. The episode "Cartoon Wars Part II
" revisits it by appearing to begin with a similar spoof, though the episode then cuts to the actual plot. The fifth season episode, "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow
", also references the controversy over the airing of this episode,, as does the thirteenth season episode, "Eat, Pray, Queef
".
