Plot

This episode begins with a notice that although viewers have waited four weeks for the answer to the mystery "Who Is Cartman's Father," they're not going to get it. Instead is a presentation of "Not Without My Anus" starring Terrance and Phillip.

The drama opens in a courtroom in Canada with Terrance on trial for the murder of Dr. Jeffrey O'Dwyer. Phillip is acting as his lawyer while Terrance and Phillip's sworn nemesis Scott is acting as the prosecution lawyer. Scott uses a group of airtight exhibits such as a hammer, a piece of Terrance's shirt (shot of terrance covering his arm where the piece of the shirt should be) as well as a Haiku written by Terrance called "Time to kill doctor Jeffrey O'Dwyer," to prove Terrance's guilt but after a series of farts during the verdict reading Terrance is found not guilty. Upon hearing the verdict Scott promises to get Terrance and Phillip soon. For the fish called lawyer, see Burbot. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Terrance and Phillip return home where they enjoy some Kraft Dinner and Terrance dresses up as a pirate. Terrance is interrupted by a courier who delivers a telegram informing him that his daughter Sally has been kidnapped in Iran. Terrance and Phillip both decide they will go to Iraq ("Iran? Iraq? What's the difference?") to rescue her but first must visit Celine Dion, who is revealed to be Sally's mother. Box on left, purchased in the USA.

Terrance and Phillip head out to Tehran, where they manage to find Sally within a few seconds of landing and quickly head back home. Meanwhile back in Canada it is revealed that Scott has struck a deal with Saddam Hussein to take care of Terrance and Phillip for him in exchange for helping his troops begin an invasion of Canada. (The kidnapping of Sally in Tehran was orchestrated by Saddam in order that his troops could be smuggled back to Canada on the return flight.)

Terrance and Phillip watch American satellite television in one scene. One of the programs they watch is the (fictitious) episode of South Park in which the identity of Cartman's father is revealed, but Terrance and Phillip are talking and the words are indistinct.

Terrance and Phillip are outraged by the changes they see in Canada upon their return. Scott, after realizing he has been double crossed by Saddam, visits Terrance and Phillip to tell them that they are to blame for his impending invasion and informs them that the only way to stop it is to suicide bomb him and his troops at the Roughriders vs. Rough Riders game. However they decide upon a different plan which will both get rid of Saddam once and for all and save them from certain death.

The Ottawa Rough Riders were a Canadian Football League team based in Ottawa, Ontario. ...

Meanwhile, Celine Dion is now sleeping with, and has become pregnant by, a friend of Terrance and Phillip named Ugly Bob. He almost always wears a bag on his head, and despite the fact that under it he looks just like every other Canadian on South Park, people inexplicably scream in horror at the sight of him. In the words of Phillip, his face looks like "Somebody tried to put out a forest fire with a screwdriver." To consolidate his power, Saddam kidnaps Celine Dion to sing the Iraqi national anthem at the game.

At the game, Saddam signals his intention to begin his hostile takeover of Canada and forces Celine Dion to begin singing the Iraqi anthem. Terrance and Phillip, who are sitting in the crowd, then prompt the fans (who each have an 'F' on their shirts) to put on gas masks and fart in unison. Eventually Saddam and his troops are overpowered by the gas and die. They are then disemboweled by the crowd, which finally celebrates its freedom with a rendition of the Canadian national anthem. Disembowelment is evisceration, or the removing of vital organs, usually from the abdomen. ... Sheet music O Canada is the national anthem of Canada. ...

Critical response

Many expected this episode to answer the season ending cliffhanger about Cartman's father. Instead, the creators created this episode as an April Fool's Day joke. Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators, mistakenly assumed that no one would be actually interested in seeing who Cartman's father is, and thought the fans would appreciate the joke.^{[citation needed]} Matthew Richard Stone (born May 26, 1971) is an Emmy-winning American animator, film director, screenwriter, actor and voice actor. ...

On the contrary, the episode prompted an angry response to Comedy Central. Comedy Central then forced the creators to produce the episode "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut" unusually quickly.^{[citation needed]} Cartmans Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut is the 15th episode of South Park which aired on April 22, 1998. ...

Closing credits

This was the first episode of South Park to air without showing the city in the background with the South Park styled text, instead, it has closing movie styled credits with a different theme. In the next episode the credits were the same as the ones in Season 1. However, there are some unusual roles listed: fart coach, fart wrangler, fart coordinator, etc.

Pop culture references

• The storyline is loosely based on Not Without My Daughter starring Sally Field. The title is also taken from that movie.
• One conversation between Scott and Saddam references Star Wars Episode V. When Scott asks why Saddam didn't keep to his side of the deal, Saddam reacts like Darth Vader does by saying: "I changed my mind, pray that I don't change it any further." Scott then reacts like Lando Calrissian by saying: "This deal is getting worse all the time."
• For reasons not stated disclosed by the creators, the Iraqis/Iranians are portrayed in the same style as Canadians. Saddam also speaks in a Canadian accent.
• The Canadian football game is between the Ottawa Rough Riders and the Vancouver Roughriders. This is a parody of the Canadian Football League having two teams called the Roughriders until 1996. The Ottawa Rough Riders did not exist when this episode first aired because they disbanded in 1996. However, the Vancouver team is the BC Lions. The one Roughriders team that still exists is the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
• Terrence and Phillip enjoy Kraft Dinner (Called Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in the U.S.), which is a very popular food in Canada, despite its American origins (They pronounce it "Kroff Dinner" in an attempt to imitate the stereotypical Canadian accent).
