Recap

The episode begins with the boys finding out that the girls made a list ranking all the boys in class from best looking to ugliest. After two attempts, the boys manage to steal the list and discover what the girls think of them. The list features Clyde at #1, Stan at #3, Kenny at #7, Cartman at #15, and Kyle dead last. Kyle becomes immersed in depression and misery and realizing he is unattractive, while Clyde's ego soars as he begins acting and dressing differently as a result of his good looks. Kyle begins to hang around the ugly, unpopular kids at school. One of the ugly kids claims that being unpopular makes him so depressed that sometimes he wants to burn the school down. Kyle decides do just that...

Episode Quotes
Craig: You don't think they put the fat tub of tard at the bottom?
Cartman: No, because people know I'm not fat! I'm buff. They probably put you at the bottom of the list because you have fucked up teeth! Or Kenny's 'cause he's poor.

Butters: Mom, Dad! I'm not the ugliest kid in the class! Kyle Broflovski is!
Steven: Well good for you, Butters.
Linda: Way to go, champ.
Butters: Whoopie!
Steven: Well, guess we don't have to ground him.

Jerry: One canister of propane, six cans of lighter fluid, seven gallons of high-octane kerosene, and a box of matches. Okay, is that everything little boy?
Kyle: That should just about do it.
Jerry: Did you like to put this on your True-Value card today?

Stan: Uh Wendy. Could I talk to you?
Wendy: Of course, Stan.
Stan: Just for a minute. Over
here. (takes her aside, to a tree nearby)
Lola: (to other girl) You think he's gonna beg her to come back to him?
Wendy: This is a nice surprise. I thought you were never speaking to me again.
Stan: Yeah well, I wanna talk to you about this list you girls made.
Wendy: Which one? We make lists all the time.
Stan: The one where you rated the boys' looks in the class. Look, it really messed Kyle up, okay? How could you vote him the ugliest?
Wendy: Look, personally, I didn't vote him the ugliest. My vote was for Eric Cartman. But enough of the other girls must have felt he was....
Stan: (walks up next to her) So it wasn't unanimous. Maybe you can just change the list.
Wendy: Change the list?! Do you have any idea what that would take?! Maybe you don't understand how important list-making is to girls! It's just not something we do flippantly! There's protocol!
Stan: Can't we just talk to all the girls who made the list and find out why they voted Kyle last?
Wendy: All right, I'll try and get you into our next list-making meeting. But it won't be easy.

The cashier who checks Kyle out at the store is the same man from the "Toilet Paper" episode in season 7.

A poster on the wall in Wendy's room reads "Le Cirque du Soleil" with a colorfully dressed man in makeup. Le Cirque du Soleil, originally from Quebec, is an all human-performing circus of sorts that was spoofed in the season 4 episode "Quintuplets 2000."
