"Major Boobage" is the third episode in season 12 of the American animated television series South Park. The 170th episode of the series overall, it originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on March 26, 2008. The episode was co-written by series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone; it was the first South Park episode since 2000 not solely written by Parker, ending a streak of 120 consecutive straight solo episodes. The previous episode co-written by Stone was "The Tooth Fairy's Tats 2000".
In the episode, Kenny becomes addicted to a hallucinogen induced by a new craze in South Park called "cheesing", and experiences hallucinations that are patterned after the 1981 Canadian animated cult classic film Heavy Metal, in which he pursues a well-endowed female in a setting whose motif is based entirely on female breasts. The episode also includes references to The Holocaust and Eliot Spitzer's 2008 prostitution scandal.
Major Boobage is the first South Park episode to have a TV-MA-LSV rating.
Mr. Mackey lectures the kids on the dangers of choking themselves to get high, as well as other methods that are becoming popular, including getting high off cat urine. Mr. Mackey explains that urine used by male cats to mark their territory in the presence of other male cats can cause one to become intoxicated when inhaled. Out of curiosity, the boys go to Cartman's house to confirm it for themselves, by having Cartman's cat, Mr. Kitty (who, has been confirmed as a hermaphrodite), squirt urine in Kenny's face. Kenny then experiences a Heavy Metal-esque drug trip driving a rocket-powered, black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am through space and encountering a woman with large breasts. She leads him to a fantasy kingdom, where many of the buildings and natural formations feature breast-like protrusions. At the height of the trip, as Kenny is about to bathe with her, Cartman manages to pin him to the ground and wake him back to reality, where he has been running around and removing his clothes. Kenny angrily attacks him for interrupting but Stan and Kyle stop him. As a result, Kyle and Stan suggest that they permanently abstain from using cat urine.
