"Chickenlover" is the third episode of the second season of the animated television series ''South Park'', and the 16th episode of the series overall. It aired on Comedy Central in the United States on May 26, 1998.〔 This episode is notable for the first to use Cartman's catchphrase "Respect My Authoritah" which has become popular among the show's fans. ==Plot== The episode starts with Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman visiting the ''Booktastic Bus'', a mobile library. They start to get interested in reading but, after meeting the driver and realizing how weird and annoying he is, they all change their minds except for Cartman, who becomes intrigued by romance novels. Then, word eventually spreads that a pervert is molesting chickens in town, evident when the boys heard a squawking. When Officer Barbrady starts the investigation, he is confronted with his illiteracy (proclaiming "I'm illegitimate"). He resigns in shame and anarchy immediately breaks out (he was the only police officer in the town). Later, he is put into the boys' class to learn to read. Meanwhile, the "Chickenlover" strikes again. Officer Barbrady's book report on ''Go, Dog. Go!'' gets him an A. He then starts to enjoy the school life a little too much, behaving like a child on a swingset. Mayor McDaniels forces him to learn reading more quickly to solve the case. He recruits the four boys as deputies to help him in his task, showing his knowledge of the Police Code. From then on, Cartman patrols the town on his Big Wheel, enforcing his own brand of justice and dealing violently with those who fail to respect his "authoritah" (mainly by taking out a police baton and using it to attack peoples' shins), all the while being filmed in a parody of ''COPS''. Examples include beating Stan's dad for obeying the speed limit (though Cartman thinks he is not), another man for soliciting a prostitute (Cartman in disguise as part of an undercover sting), and Mr. and Mrs. McCormick for domestic violence (with Mrs. McCormick as the aggressor). Meanwhile, Barbrady puts some clues together by reading some children's books. When he almost gives up, the boys keep up his spirits. The molester is finally caught in the petting zoo wearing a mask of Richard Nixon, and turns out to be the Book Mobile driver. He plotted this all along to encourage Barbrady to learn to read. He gives Barbrady a copy of Ayn Rand's ''Atlas Shrugged''. Cartman then begins clubbing the man in the legs, to which Officer Barbrady steps in and takes his club, telling him that "this isn't the way to uphold the law" and that he has to hit him in the head to make him go down quicker, giving a demonstration that kills the man (moments later, his legs are seen on the side of the screen in a small pool of blood). Barbrady tells the children he will "get in the bathtub, and then curl up with a good book", after which a generic crime drama theme tune plays as he gives the children the thumbs up. He remains, seemingly unable to move, in this position as the children walk away. The town later holds a parade for Barbrady, and when he is asked to give a speech, he tells how ''Atlas Shrugged'' convinces him that reading "totally sucks ass." In the end, he swears never to read again. It is shown that Jesus drives the pick-up Barbrady stands in. At the end of the episode, the crime drama theme plays again, and still shots of the parade are shown, including Kenny's death, as he is crushed under a tree (he had escaped death three times throughout the episode). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chickenlover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
