Ep 6. Le Petit Tourette

In The Cult of Cartman season 1 episode 6, titled "Le Petit Tourette," the infamous and foul-mouthed Eric Cartman discovers he can use his Tourette's syndrome to get away with saying whatever he wants without repercussions.

Cartman begins to intentionally trigger his Tourette's during class, causing him to spout out increasingly offensive and inappropriate remarks. When his teacher and classmates try to discipline him, Cartman claims that he can't help his outbursts due to his condition, effectively using it as a shield to say whatever he wants.

Soon, news of Cartman's supposed Tourette's spreads throughout the town and he becomes a local celebrity. However, when a family with a real Tourette's-afflicted child confronts Cartman and tells him how offensive and hurtful his behavior is, Cartman is forced to confront the consequences of his actions.

The episode uses Cartman's Tourette's as a commentary on society's tendency to excuse and enable bad behavior when it's framed as a "disorder." It also touches on the topic of privilege, as Cartman is able to get away with things that others couldn't simply due to his perceived disability.

Overall, "Le Petit Tourette" is a thought-provoking and controversial episode that showcases the show's willingness to tackle complex and sensitive subjects.
