He then forces his mom to take him to the toy store. Upon arriving there Cartman is angered to see that everyone else saw the advert and got there before him, leaving very little to buy. At the bus stop Cartman tries to get Kenny to trade his doll for Cartman's since Kenny got the last one of Cartman's favorite. Kyle then shows up with his Cyborg Bill doll but is informed by Stan about the new fad. Kyle then rushes home to get money to buy a doll. At his house, Kyle asks his mom and his dad for money. Gerald then explains to him that he shouldn't follow fads, but Kyle explains if he doesn't he will be bullied. Gerald gives him enough money to get himself and Ike a doll. At the toy shop, the owner says to Kyle he doesn't know what kids see in them, to which Kyle replies he doesn't know either. The owner then picks up a toy and it explains how the American Government must be stopped. The shop owner then goes to Japan and speaks with the Chinpokomon creators who simply confuse him and gain his respect by telling him he has such a large penis compared to theirs. Kyle goes to Cartman's house to see the other boys are playing the Chinpokomon video game and ask if he brought his special controller, Kyle tells them he bought a toy but they are now out of fashion, so Kyle goes to buy a controller. Kenny suddenly gets a seizure from the game. Randy and Sharon decide to watch one of Stan's video tapes of Chinpokomon to see what it teaches, they soon discover how unusual it is and call the parents together.
