"South Park" - "Death" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Ice cream

Grandpa Marvin is upset because of how old he is getting, since he turns 102, and tells his son, Randy (Stan's dad) that he'd be better off dead, and even asks to be killed! Stan asks his mom if he can eat his cake in the living room, but his mom forces him to do so with his grandfather.

Answer: A painting

After shooting the painting and realizing his attempt to kill himself failed, he offers Billy (somehow he thinks that's Stan's name) a dollar in exchange for shooting him. Stan obviously refuses, stating that "he would get in trouble" as an excuse. Grandpa Marvin angrily leaves the room, asking himself "what has America's youth come to? Kids won't even kill their own grandparents".

Answer: Cartman's

Mrs. Broflovski refers to "Terrence and Phillip" as "immature humor". Kyle defends himself saying that everybody watches the show, which encourages his mom to call Eric Cartman's mother. Mrs. Cartman, who is usually portrayed as being totally submissive to her son, tells Eric about the call, but he pays no attention to her.

Answer: Do dishes

Stan's three-part chore list is taped on his bedroom door. The list is written in black ink, however, there is a fourth item written in blue, uppercase letters that reads "kill grandpa". When Stan yells he would not kill his grandpa, Grandpa Marvin calls him an "ingrate".

Answer: Euthanasia

At school, Mr. Garrison informs the kids that he will ask their parents to no longer allow them to watch "Terrance and Phillip", following a call from Kyle's mom, since the show portrays toilet humour.

Stan asks Mr. Garrison if it's OK to help kill his grandpa if that's what he wants, and then asks Chef at the cafeteria. However, both say that they're not touching that topic with him. Said topic is the highly controversial subject of euthanasia, which refers to assisted suicide or ending a life in order to end a certain suffering.

Answer: Randy

Randy, Stan's dad, is the only one who laughs at the joke, saying "he farted right on his hand" while giggling. However, this isn't funny to anyone else in the crowd, who stared at him annoyed. Mrs. Broflovski says that not only should they stop their kids from watching the show, but boycott the entire network as well! They go to the headquarters of the TV network to get the show out of the air.

Answer: A piece of rope

Worried about whether he should help kill someone in pain who wants to die, Stan calls Jesus to his TV show "Jesus and Pals", but even Jesus refuses to talk about the topic. Grandpa Marvin tries to make Cartman mad so he can kill him, but Stan distracts Cartman just in time.

While the kids watched "Terrance and Phillip", Grandpa Marvin asked Stan to hold a piece of rope and Stan agreed if he got out of the way of the TV. Stan's sister came in yelling because Stan, unknowingly, was choking his grandpa with the rope, in another of his attempts to kill himself.

Answer: A cow

Stan and his friends tie a rope to a tree and then hang a cow with it, and place it just above Stan's grandpa. A police car passes by but prompts them to "carry on", seeing no suspicious behavior. But before anything else happens, Death itself appears and chases the kids. Stan calls his parents but they don't pay attention to him, saying they're doing something important (protesting against "Terrance and Phillip"). Stan and Kyle then reflect on the fact that parents should pay more attention to their kids and their lives instead of relying on television as a babysitter.

It was later revealed that Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of "South Park", wrote the episode as a response to criticism that the show was an easy show to make because of its content based on flatulence jokes.

Answer: Africa

Death interrupts chasing the kids because he is briefly entertained by "Terrance and Phillip". When the show is cut off the air, he resumes the chase. Grandpa Marvin confronts Death on why it hasn't killed him, but then his own grandpa's ghost appears. He reminds Marvin that he was the one who killed his own grandpa. Also referring to him as "Billy", Marvin's grandfather says it's wrong to place Stan in that position, since he is so concerned in ending his life that he doesn't realize what he would do to Stan's, in reference to the trauma that killing his own grandfather would represent.

Since his grandfather told him he must die of natural causes, Grandpa Marvin leaves to Africa, stating that "400 people are eaten naturally by lions" there.

Death touches Kenny and kills him, and Stan then thinks that maybe Death was chasing after Kenny all the time.

Answer: Explosive diarrhea

Kenny arrives late at school excusing himself with the fact that he was suffering from explosive diarrhea. He immediately goes to the classroom bathroom after that. He also needs to go to the bathroom while the kids are watching "Terrance and Phillip" at Stan's house.

Kenny spreads it to Mr. Garrison, who basically spreads it to everyone involved in the protest at the TV network. This indirectly helps the protesters, since strangely, everyone that needed to go to the bathroom couldn't hold it, and their feces could be seen outside the TV network's headquarters. Unable to bear the smell, the network decides to pull "Terrance and Phillip" out of the air, making the diarrhea more successful than the other type of protest, that is, people killing themselves by being thrown to the network's building with a slingshot.

The episode reflects how parents are so concerned with what is on TV that they don't pay attention to what really happens with their children. It's also funny that throughout the show, toilet humor is displayed among South Park residents, showing that they do consider it funny, but not when it's shown on TV to their children.

Finally, "Terrance and Phillip" is replaced with "She's the Sheriff", but when Mrs. Broflovski realizes the show also uses profane language, she heads back to New York (where the TV network is headquartered) with Stan's parents.
