Kyle isn't allowed to keep his new pet elephant because it's too big. The boys find Dr. Mephesto to try and genetically engineer a smaller elephant.


===Description===
===Description===
During a class discussion on genetic engineering, Kyle hits upon the idea of combining an elephant with a pig. He already owns an elephant (which he got via mail order), and Cartman has a potbellied pig named Fluffy. A classmate named Terrance (no relation to Terrance and Phillip) bets he can clone an entire human being before Kyle can produce his elephant/pig. And the race is on.

He already owns an elephant (which he got via mail order) and Cartman has a potbellied pig named Fluffy. A classmate named Terrance (no relation to Terrance and Phillip) bets he can clone an entire human being before Kyle can produce his elephant/pig. The race is on.
The boys visit a "genetic engineering ranch" on the edge of town, where they meet the mysterious Dr. Mephesto. He tells them it's impossible to splice elephant and pig DNA. So Chef suggests a different tactic -- get the animals drunk. The boys tank up their pets on  beer, and they finally make sweet love.
 
Meanwhile, Mephesto (whose son turns out to be Terrance) creates a gigantic, misshapen clone of Stan. The monster escapes and goes on a rampage through South Park.

Stan catches up with the creature, calms him and lures him to his house. He wants it to beat up his sister, Shelley, who regularly stomps the crap out of him. But the plan fails when Big Stan goes berserk, hurling Kenny into a microwave and cooking him to death. Only the timely intervention of Shelley, who drops the clone with one punch, restores order. Mephesto arrives and shoots Big Stan in the head, killing him.
 
The school's science fair suddenly becomes much less interesting. Terrance, deprived of his human clone, displays a five-assed monkey instead.

At the last moment, word comes that Cartman's pig has given birth. Its offspring is brought to class, where the kids notice it looks a lot like Mr. Garrison.
 
"Oh, gee," Mr. Garrison says. "Isn't that an amazing coincidence? What are the odds of that?"

Episode Chronology

Story[edit]

If you live in Latin America, you cannot see this episode in his original language

Kyle isn't allowed to keep his new pet elephant because it's too big. The boys find Dr. Mephesto to try and genetically engineer a smaller elephant.

Description[edit]

During a class discussion on genetic engineering, Kyle hits upon the idea of combining an elephant with a pig. He already owns an elephant (which he got via mail order) and Cartman has a potbellied pig named Fluffy. A classmate named Terrance (no relation to Terrance and Phillip) bets he can clone an entire human being before Kyle can produce his elephant/pig. The race is on.

The boys visit a "genetic engineering ranch" on the edge of town, where they meet the mysterious Dr. Mephesto. He tells them it's impossible to splice elephant and pig DNA. Chef suggests a different tactic -- get the animals drunk. The boys tank up their pets on beer and the animals finally make sweet love.

Meanwhile, Mephesto (whose son turns out to be Terrance) creates a gigantic, misshapen clone of Stan. The monster escapes and goes on a rampage through South Park. Stan catches up with the creature, calms him and lures him to his house. He wants it to beat up his sister, Shelley, who regularly stomps the crap out of him. But the plan fails when Big Stan goes berserk, hurling Kenny into a microwave and cooking him to death. Only the timely intervention of Shelly, who drops the clone with one punch, restores order. Mephesto arrives and shoots Big Stan in the head, killing him.

The school's science fair suddenly becomes much less interesting. Terrance, deprived of his human clone, displays a five-assed monkey instead. At the last moment, word comes that Cartman's pig has given birth. Its offspring is brought to class, where the kids notice it looks a lot like Mr. Garrison.

"Oh, gee," Mr. Garrison says. "Isn't that an amazing coincidence? What are the odds of that?" He gives the boys first prize.

Originally Shelley was to douse Stan with an accelerant and set him on fire. Because the network feared this might encourage copycat behavior among children, the scene was deleted. So now there's a moment where Stan is seen inexplicably lying in a puddle of liquid.

Where Did The Idea Come From[edit]

This episode is a commentary on genetic engineering and could be inspired by Dolly the sheep, the first successfully cloned mammal back in 1996. Many other mammals were cloned afterwards such as pigs, deer, horses and bulls.

The character Shelley is based on Trey's sister who has the same name. When they were kids she regularly bullied him, once even tossing him down a flight of stairs. Stan wishing his mutant clone to attack Shelley is also based on Trey's childhood fantasy of a larger version of himself beating up his sister.
