Simpsons Already Did It

"Simpsons Already Did It" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series South Park and the 86th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on June 26, 2002. In the episode, which continues on from the events of the previous episode "Professor Chaos", Butters thinks up a series of schemes to take over the world, but realizes that each one has already been performed on the show The Simpsons. Meanwhile, Ms. Choksondik dies and Cartman, Kyle and Stan think that they are responsible.

Plot

Butters, as Professor Chaos, concocts various schemes to destroy South Park, only to learn that each one has already been the plot point to an episode of The Simpsons. Such schemes include blocking out the sun, beheading the statue in the town square, and conning the town into building a monorail. After watching the whole series, he devises an original plan, only for The Simpsons to feature it in a new episode that night. This drives Butters to a mental breakdown, where he hallucinates his surroundings in The Simpsons art style.

Meanwhile, Cartman buys a package of "Sea People", believing they will be intelligent creatures, only to realize they are merely brine shrimp. Underwhelmed, the boys use them to spike Ms. Choksondik's coffee as a prank. She dies the next day, with the boys believing they were responsible because "semen was found in her stomach." They break into the morgue to remove the semen from her corpse, which Cartman then combines with the brine shrimp. This evolves the shrimp into an intelligent civilization that worships Cartman as a god.
