South Park Season 22 Episode 8

Cartman was at the psychiatrist’s office, where he was trying to rationalize ManBearPig;s existence and that Black Panther was not as good of a film as everyone says it was. He also couldn’t deal with people wanting him to get off of his phone. The psychiatrist diagnosed Cartman with anxiety and remarked how common anxiety was among the youth. PC Principal checked on Vice Principal Strong Woman. He urged her to place their children in daycare, but she refused. Later that day, Cartman paraded through town and demanded that everyone leave him alone in order to assuage his anxiety. Cartman saw an ad for a new product, Buddha Box. The Buddha Box projected your phone screen inches from your face and was outfitted with noise cancelling headphones. Cartman quickly ordered a Buddha Box and wore it to school the next day.
