"South Park's Ultimate Fighter"

"South Park Gets Punked"
Tuesday, 3/30 from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Pranks are fun�Unless, of course, Eric Cartman is the one doing the pranking. Whether he's dressed as a robot or putting balls in his mouth, there's no denying that Ashton Kutcher's got nothing on Cartman. Watch the most dangerous kid in town take it way too far when "South Park Gets Punked."
