Among the many episodes I have seen of South Park, this particular episode was one of the most I favor. It seems that this episode spoofs and/or parodies a few notable sci-fi films, which I think works in terms of making it work out in the main storyline.
So, Cartman owns a new electronic device called the Trapper Keeper, but when a cyborg (identifying himself as "Bill Cosby") from the future travels back in time to South Park and warns the boys that the Trapper Keeper will become self-aware and overrun humanity in later years, they must stop it before chaos begins. However, Cartman refuses to let go of the Trapper Keeper, thus making it difficult for them to save humanity.
It felt like "The Terminator" meets "Akira" and a small hint of "2001: Space Odyssey" which I think is the best combination of films I have ever seen well-executed. I found the episode to be one of my personal favorites.
