Freak Strike is a fairly funny South Park episode.It features one of my favorite sayings from Cartman, which is "Whatevah I do what I want".The boys see that you can get prizes on the Maury Povich show.The topic is "freaks" so they place a fake set of testicles on Butters chin and make him pretend he's a freak so he can get a prize for them.The prize is that Butters can go to the largest putt-putt golf course in the world, however the boys do not get to come. The next topic on Maury is out of control teens, so Cartman pretends to be an out of control teen in hopes he will get a prize(this is a very hilarious scene).Meanwhile, the other freaks are protesting that they are not getting enough pay.This is a fairly good episode with a very funny scene and one of my favorite quotes from Cartman.

Kenny would do it. Butters won't even put balls on his chin for his friends. I do what I want! Lobster boy! I promise I'll never go on tv with balls on my chin again... Just awesome comedy with a plot that just gets better and better. Great episode and a must watch of the earlier seasons.
Takes too long to get to the best part...and not enough of it

Cartman on Maury is the best part and doesn't happen until the end. The rest of the episode just takes a long time and isn't that great. Overall I think the episode is a 7, even if the Cartman on Maury part is an absolutely phenomenal idea.
I wish it was a better overall episode.

Kenny is back in this the third episode of Season 6 Freak Strike (it is actually the first episode of Season 6 in the production order), well not really (he is back until the very last episode of the Season), here we just have Butters wearing Kenny's orange coat! Here it continues to be Butters the one making the sacrifice for the gang (who else?), in other words if Cartman, Stan and Kyle come up with an idea to get a prize from the Maury Povich show Butters will go to New York to the Maury Povich show to get the prize! Butters is such an awesome friend! Poor Butters, balls hanging from his chin (!), going to New York, his parents are going to be really mad!
This is an awesome Butters and Cartman show but this time Butters and Cartman will not really be together most of the time. Is Butters' very own adventure in New York, better is the adventure of Napoleon Bonaparte (!), entering in the freak industry, knowing what happens when someone lies about being a freak (hilarious – "lobster boy wasn't a real freak at all, he was an actual lobster"), doing his very first talk show ("you have balls that hang off your chin" "I do?") and receiving his prize. That's when the Cartman show begins and is really a show, a hilarious one I should add. And well, Cartman is just ready to say that he has also balls hanging from his chin but since the new subject in the Maury Povich show is "please help my out-of-control child" Cartman is ready to say he do crack (after all he is a Cartman!) to "lie" saying he is totally out of control! But this is not a real good time for both Butters and Cartman not to mention how things end for both; Butters almost had a good end (after participating in the freak strike. "Sure everyone in this great country of ours is a freak, but true physically deformed freaks must be recognized for it is real freaks that make you all feel better about yourselves for not being one, so next time you're watching TV make sure it's a show with freaks-freaks and not just with people that are freaks because they're stupid trailer trash from the south") but his parents are really mad!
