The entity seemed like a funny episode at first look.It introduces Kyle's Jewish-stereotype cousin who is also named Kyle.He comes to visit them because his mother is ill.Kyle sees that he is a big dork and a Jewish stereotype and tries really hard to make his friends not make fun of him...especially cartman who Kyle pays $40 not to make fun of his cousin.Meanwhile, Mr Garrison who is sick of the lines at the airport, decides to invent his own means of transportation which will be better.This machine is faster than a plane but it also looks fairly gay.The episode has some very funny moments, but it is not the best episode of South Park.

"What's that thing?"
RainDogJr20 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This has to be one of the best episodes of Season 5, one of the very best Seasons if you ask me. Cartman here is extremely memorable, hilarious, but why? Well because of Kyle, not the Kyle we all know though but Kyle's cousin Kyle. "What's that thing?" says Cartman the moment he sees the new Kyle, Cartman will have a difficult time here, he will have to, for $40, not rip on the new Kyle, the totally annoying super Jewish stereotype, is hilarious Cartman shaking , really suffering but for his misfortune there won't be $40 for him, certainly it would have been quite an achievement for Cartman to not rip on a kid that everybody wants to beat, that will make of our Kyle a self-hating Jew! Great stuff and while the new Kyle comes back a couple of times during this episode ("I'M BAACK!") his return to the show was 4 years later when he came to South Park to play baseball! "What's that thing?" is as question many people will be asking and not really in the same way that Cartman but trying to discover what is "it". And what is "it"? It is Mr. Garrison's creation that will end with the problems of dealing with incompetent airlines, it is the, unnecessarily (hilarious! Well it's just a hilarious subplot), very uncomfortable new transport but well certainly it is very comfortable for some persons, like, for instance, John Travolta! (I like more Travolta's voice in Trapped in the Closet). Really great episode
