to camp, finding the summoning ritual nearly completed. As the Squirts form a human ladder to reach the cabin keys and free the captives, Kenny disrupts the ritual and smashes the conch with his own head, freeing Moses but fatally injuring himself. Moses destroys Haman, kills Garth, and declares a new annual holiday in which the Jew Scouts will gather at the camp and honor Kenny's sacrifice by making arts-and-crafts projects. Production The writing process of "Jewbilee" helped South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone realize the approach to writing most suited for the show. The episode had to be aired about a month after the film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was released, at which time Parker and Stone could take a break from their intensive work. They were pleased with their work on both the show and the film and decided not to care about how good the episode was, and "just make it dumb and weird." Eventually, they came to believe that "Jewbilee" was then one of the best episodes of the show, which helped them realize that they should not try to think of the plots for too long, but "just be stupid and have fun." Cultural and religious references The Moses character is Parker's favorite aspect of the episode. His appearance is patterned after the Master Control Program from the film Tron. Reception John Sinnott of DVD Talk stated that the episode is one of the third season's "strange shows that worked very well." In an article about Isaac Hayes' departure controversy, The Seattle Times referred to "Jewbilee" as one of the show's most outrageous episodes.
