"You Got F'd in the A"[1] (often retitled "You Got..." or "You Got Served" on television listings) is the fourth episode of the eighth season of the Comedy Central series South Park, and the 115th episode overall. Going by production order, it is the fifth episode of Season 8 instead of the fourth. Initially broadcast on April 7, 2004, the episode (and its title) is a satire of the movie You Got Served, which was released earlier that year.
In the episode, Stan has been challenged to a dance-off, and it is up to him to put together a team of South Park's best dancers to compete against a troupe from Orange County, California. While Butters has won awards for his dancing, he refuses to help Stan. He has not been able to dance since the tragic death of eight (conditionally as high as 11) audience members at his last competition.
Plot
The next time Stan gets served by the Orange County kids, he serves them back, switching CDs on the boombox so that he may dance to "Achy Breaky Heart". "You just got F'd in the A!", says Cartman to the Orange County kids, who respond by declaring that "it's on"; there is now a dance contest to be had, the Orange County kids versus the best dancers in South Park.
Stan goes out to find the town's best dancers: Michael, the leader of the
It is revealed through flashback that, in 2002, Butters' shoe flew off during the national Tap-Dancing Finals, hit a stage light in the rafters, and led to an extremely gruesome chain of events that left eight people in the audience dead. (Butters later learns to his horror from Stan that the total death count was actually eleven, because one woman was pregnant and two others killed themselves after the tragedy.) This all happened to the upbeat (and risqué) tune of "I've Got Something in My Front Pocket for You". Butters flatly refuses to participate in the show, even after further pressing, so the team has to settle for a dancing duck named Jeffy from a local farm. Jeffy has not danced to any songs other than those about drug use and domestic violence played by the farmer, all to extensively modified lyrics of the song "The Crawdad Song."
On the day of the performance, Jeffy's ankle gets sprained during practice. The team looks likely to be forced to forfeit, as competition rules require a mandatory five members. However, Butters suddenly arrives in his tap-dancing outfit just in time, allowing the kids to perform. However, during the performance, Butters' shoe flies off again and hits a stage light, causing the rafter to fall on and kill the entire Orange County team and their coach. Although Butters is horrified by this, the South Park team wins by default, and a bloodstained, screaming and horribly traumatized Butters is carried off and hailed as a hero.
Release
The episode was released on the two-disc DVD collection A Little Box of Butters.[2]
