Story
Cartman, with the help of Kyle, Stan, Kenny and Butters, performs face-hitting right on the stage with the Republican pre-election debate, after which the whole fourth class has to listen to an additional security lesson in which Professor Lamont shows them how dangerous photography can be in ridiculous poses, that is, "meming." Despite this, and the fact that facehilling is considered an outdated meme and gave way to “Taylorswifting”, the boys (with the exception of Butters, who was frightened by the plot of the educational film about the dangers of memes) continue to stubbornly execute it.
Professor Lamont was informed at the time of the emergence of a new Internet meme : photographs of cats with their heads threaded through a slice of bread (“cat-hlebing”). Lamont believes that this is evidence that cats are evolving, becoming as smart as humans. New memes of people and cats continue to appear on the Internet and cause terrible deaths for performers, while the guys continue to “facehill”, however, after numerous ridicule from the audience, they are forced to come to terms with the fact that the fashion for facehilling has already passed.
At the same time, Lamont and other people are trying to talk with cats, who seem to have found speechlessness. He concludes that the further development of cats will lead to war between the two species.
Boys try to stay relevant by shooting videos with new memes. They try to fulfill the popular meme at yet another debate of the Republicans (“whistle-blowing”), but Cartman at the decisive moment refuses to execute it, who does not agree to accept the meme only on the grounds that it is new. He interrupts the alleged performance, and instead begins to show his sincerely beloved facehilling, while performing a song. She is picked up by a crowd in the hall and Republican candidates on stage: Rick Santorum , Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich , joining Cartman in a massive act of face-hitting (“licking”).
