South Park: Smug Alert!

Kyle's dad buys a new hybrid car. This makes him feel smug, and he moves his family to San Francisco because people in South Park have no respect for the environment. To get Kyle back, Stan convinces people in South Park to buy hybrid cars, too. But when they do, it leads to extreme weather conditions in both San Francisco and South Park.

Episode Quotes
Network Anchor: And now, the worst appears to be over. Last night's smug storm.. has left thousands homeless. All across the Midwest, people are picking up the pieces. Cities like Denver and South Park are heavily damaged, but still all right. However, San Francisco, I'm afraid.. has disappeared completely up its own asshole.

Randy: What's this?
Gerald: Oh, sorry Randy. Looks like you got a ticket.
Randy: Ticket? (reading ticket) Failure to care about the environment. Oh, goddammit, did you do this, Gerald?!?

Kyle: Hybrid cars don't cause smugness, people do! Look, Hybrid cars are important. They may even save our planet one day. What you all need to do is just learn to drive hybrids, and not be smug about it!
Randy: You mean... drive in hybrids, but not acting like we're better than everyone else because of it?
Kyle: Yeah!!!!
Randy: I'm... I'm not ready.
Gerald: I don't think I can do it either.
Mr. Mackey: It's simply asking too much.
