"How to Eat with Your Butt" is the tenth episode of the fifth season of the animated television series South Park, and the 75th episode of the series overall. "How to Eat with Your Butt" originally aired in the United States on November 14, 2001 on Comedy Central.
It is picture day at South Park Elementary, and as a prank, Kenny wears his parka upside down and stands on his head with his legs through the sleeves so that his show through his hood. Four days later, the photos arrive. When Ms. Choksondik says that one boy spoiled his photo and will not get it back, Kenny thinks she is referring to him, until it is revealed momentarily that she is referring to Butters, even though Butters looked normal in his photo. His parents, irrationally convinced that Butters' normal face is some sort of silly face, promptly ground him and force him to wear a brown paper bag over his head for making "silly faces". It is (what his parents don't notice) a piece of his hair sticking up after he combed his hair to look perfect which ruined his school photo.
To compound this prank, Cartman then submits Kenny's photo to a milk company, which places it on the milk cartons. Cartman's description of him includes features with obvious double meanings, such as a "winking brown eye", "blonde hair", and "rosy cheeks". The photo draws a response from a couple, Martha and Stephen Thompson, who lost their son some years earlier, and shockingly have buttocks in place of their faces. They later explain that they suffer from a fictitious congenital condition known as "torsonic polarity syndrome" or "TPS" which has them born with their faces appearing as the human . With the syndrome, however, they still retain all normal functionality of their faces (including noses, eyes, etc.) under the buttocks. When the Thompsons appear looking at Cartman's house for Kenny, he is stunned and can no longer laugh, believing that he has seen something so incredibly funny, that nothing else will ever be able to make him laugh again. From that point on, Cartman refers to this as "blowing his funny fuse".
