Meanwhile, film director James Cameron embarks on an ocean voyage to find the bar and raise it, despite his crew's attempts to explain that "the bar" is only a metaphor. However, when Cartman learns that the first episode has already aired and was beaten in the ratings by Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, he refuses to let Honey Boo Boo outshine him, and challenges her to a spaghetti wrestling match during a Symposium on Obesity hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama on the South Lawn of the White House. Torn by guilt, Kyle informs Cartman of Token's intentions, and Cartman obtains a cease and desist order to stop Token from airing the program. However, Kyle is unaware that Token is using the footage to create a new reality series, Here Comes Fatty Doo Doo, in order to exploit Cartman for financial gain. Eventually, Token offers to help Kyle make a documentary film about Cartman's behavior to make his action public. He comes to believe that the societal bar has been lowered so much that no one feels shame over their actions anymore. Kyle, unfamiliar with the show, watches an episode and is shocked by the behavior of the Thompson family, such as Honey Boo Boo's habits of drinking Red Bull and Mountain Dew and her relentless heart attacks. Cartman responds to Kyle's anger over this waste of taxpayer money by accusing Kyle of supporting scooter-tipping and causing anorexia nervosa, saying that using a scooter does not make him " white trash" like Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, the star of TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. The Department of Health then orders all scooters to be fitted with mechanical uprighting devices. When the cost of these upgrades is passed on to taxpayers, some outraged individuals retaliate by knocking over scooter users.
Eventually, Cartman shamelessly takes advantage of his new handicapped status as he and other scooter users file multiple lawsuits against businesses to force them to make their restroom scooter accessible. Later, Cartman admits to Kyle that he is fat, but instead of taking measures to lose weight, he acquires a scooter of his own, infuriating Kyle. Kyle says that Cartman will end up becoming so obese that he will soon have to start using a mobility scooter, as many of the other customers in the store are doing. While shopping at Walmart, Kyle and Cartman get into an argument over Cartman's weight. While Kyle worries that the standards of decency are deteriorating, James Cameron ventures into the ocean depths to find and raise the societal bar to a higher level. This attitude is embraced by other obese people throughout the country, including reality television personality and pageant participant Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, who is eventually pitted against Cartman in a spaghetti-wrestling match on the White House South Lawn. However, rather than resolving to lose weight, he concludes that he is entitled to use a mobility scooter for transportation. In the episode, Cartman comes to accept that he is obese.
The episode won the 2013 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. It premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on October 3, 2012, and is rated TV-MA L.
