Plot

The boys watch The Crocodile Hunter on TV, and are inspired by it to go hunting for crocodiles themselves. On their journey, Kyle falls down a hole. When trying to rescue him, Stan spots a frozen man in the hole. The boys pull his body out, and the frozen mass is given to Dr. Mephisto, the genetic engineer. Stan and Kyle start arguing over who found the man, and what to name him. Stan prefers "Gorak", but Kyle suggests "Steve"; they fall out over this.

At Mephisto's laboratory, Mephisto and Kevin thaw the ice and discover that Steve/Gorak is wearing Eddie Bauer clothes, not seen since the year 1996, nearly 32 months before. Eddie Bauer is an outdoor clothing and sporting goods chain. ...

They discover that the ice actually preserved the man and that he is alive. Mephisto treats him as a Neanderthal and is unable to understand him. To make his research more lucrative, some mysterious federal agents persuade Mephisto to display the unfrozen man to the public, recreating his natural habitat for him by building a completely "1996-oriented" room.

Seeing this, Stan and Kyle are upset at the ice man's inhumane treatment, so they set him free, but keep arguing over what the ice-man should be called, and they agree to fight each other the following day. The next day, Larry (the ice-man's real name) discovers that his wife remarried and has children, who are somehow now 8 and 13. Frustrated, Larry realizes he cannot live in this world, and Kyle comes up with a solution; for Larry to take the train and go to live in Des Moines, Iowa, which is supposedly "three years behind" everywhere else.

References to Pop culture

• Marilyn Manson appears in this episode, singing "Stinky Britches".
• Mephisto repeatedly uses the phrase "frightened and confused" with regard to Larry. This is a reference to the phrase often uttered by the recurring Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer character, played by Phil Hartman, on Saturday Night Live.
• The "1996" room has a Fargo film poster and an Independence Day film poster on the wall, and is constantly fed music by Ace of Base, even though that music reached its apex in popularity in 1994.

• Cartman somehow thinks the Iceman relates to the plot of Grease.
• Kyle comes up with the name "Steve" due to Larry's perceived resemblance to the Six Million Dollar Man.
• Australian Outback Guy is based on Steve Irwin.
• Larry's wife is now remarried with two kids. The eldest is wearing a Denver Broncos hat. This is because South Park is in Denver, but mainly also because the Broncos are in the Super Bowl in 1999, playing the Atlanta Falcons, seen on the T.V. in Larry's room at Alphonse Mephisto's house. The Broncos won the game 34-19.
