I didn't want to revive the thread just for this, but since it's here... the other day my son was watching old episodes of South Park online. I find this show strangely attractive and repulsive. They have some funny/crazy story ideas, but they're layered with such a crude and mean sensibility that I mostly can't watch it. One such funny story idea -- the "Pandemic" and "Pandemic 2" episodes:

Pandemic: Pan flute bands are everywhere. The world is suffering from a "pandemic". The boys decide to cash in and form their own band. Unfortunately, just at that point the bands are outlawed. The Department of Homeland Security rounds up all the bands and the boys are to be shipped off with them to Guantanamo, or maybe South America.

Pandemic 2: the Startling: Giant guinea pigs are running amok. It turns out the pan flute bands were protecting us all. The boys have to save themselves... and the world.

The last part of the second episode is all you really need to see...
