Al Gore (voiced by Trey Parker) visits South Park Elementary and warns the school's students about ManBearPig, an imaginary monster which roams the Earth attacking humans. Gore describes the monster as “half man, half bear, half pig.” While Gore continues to spread awareness of the fictional cryptid, Randy advises Stan and the boys to not be involved with Gore as he is only seeking attention. One night, Gore calls Stan about ManBearPig and Stan tries to turn him down gently; Gore weeps from this rejection until Stan changes his mind. Gore then persuades Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny to attend a ManBearPig meeting, where Gore states that the creature is hiding in the Cave of the Winds. The boys agree to assist Gore in his hunt for ManBearPig in exchange of being officially dismissed from school that day.
