Fads

Stan: No, Kyle, you see, we learned something today. This whole Chinpokomon thing happened because we all followed a group. We only liked Chinpokomon because everyone else did, and look at the damage it caused.

Kyle: So now I should stop liking Chinpokomon because you all don’t?

Stan: Yeah.

Kyle: But if I stop now, I’d just be going with the group again so to be an individual, I have to bomb Pearl Harbor.

Stan: Oh, wait. Actually, Kyle, I was wrong. You see, Kyle, I learned something just now. It is good to go with the group. A group mentality is healthy sometimes.

Kyle: Ah, screw it. I’m too confused.

“Sometimes boys take cultural fads too far.”

-Sheila Broflovski, 708

“Well then don’t buy into this fad, Kyle. Be who you are. Not what’s cool.”

-Chef, 708

“I've wished every single day that I could go back to that moment when I was offered the job and say, "No!" Because all the fame and the money, the women—all it did was build me up, so that I could be knocked down harder than anybody in the world. That is what being in a boy band is all about, Stanley. It's people smothering you and embracing you and loving you and then spitting you out and throwing you away like you were last night's pork chops! Now we wander the earth in disarray—us, New Kids On The Block, the Osmonds. We're all the same. And that is why you can't go to the mall.”
