Hell on Earth 2006

"Hell on Earth 2006" is the 150th episode of Comedy Central's animated series South Park. It originally aired on October 25, 2006 and marked the series' fourth Halloween episode.

The episode revolves around Satan, having a huge party in Los Angeles—in the style of parties featured on the MTV series My Super Sweet 16. Meanwhile, Butters Stotch accidentally summons The Notorious B.I.G. (always referred to in the episode as "Biggie Smalls"), who demands to help him go back to Los Angeles, where the party is held.

The episode gained various positive responses from critics; however, it also sparked controversy shortly after its initial airing due to the Steve Irwin joke it contained, and was criticized by Irwin's family.

Plot

Satan decides that since Halloween is essentially his holiday, he is going to have a huge party in Los Angeles—as big as a sweet 16 party. He proclaims to the spirits of the damned that anyone who wants to get in must get a blue wristband and wear a costume. However, Satan also invites many celebrities, overcrowding the guest list. Satan also decides to have a "really huge surprise as dessert"; he decides upon a cake the size and shape of a Ferrari Enzo, which three notorious serial killers—Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy—are entrusted with bringing to the party in time for midnight. Cardinal Roger Mahony and other Roman Catholic Church officials of Los Angeles, angered that Satan does not invite them to the party, plan to call the fire marshal the night of the party to complain, thus ruining it. When they are unable to do so after discovering that the fire marshal was also invited to the party, the clergy decide to crash it. However, Satan's security make sure they do not get in at all, as they are wearing wristbands from Knott's Berry Farm.

Julia Houston (Debra Messing) and Tom Levitt (Christian Borle), a Broadway writing team come up with the idea of a new musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, Bombshell.

Julia's former lover Michael Swift (Will Chase) is initially cast in the role of Joe DiMaggio. However when Julia and Michael's reunion causes serious trouble in her marriage to Frank (Brian d'Arcy James), the decision is made to fire Michael.
