The 257th episode overall, it was written and directed by series co-creator and co-star Trey Parker. The episode premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on December 10, 2014. It is the second part of the two-part season finale which began with the previous episode, "#REHASH". The episode makes multiple references to earlier episodes over the season, as well as to previous seasons, while mainly lampooning the trend of culture constantly making trending topics on Twitter with no actual relevance. It also lampoons news events such as the death of Eric Garner, the shooting of Michael Brown, the sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby, the use of celebrity holograms, and generationism. YouTuber PewDiePie appears as himself, continuing his story line from the previous episode.

==Plot== Kyle Broflovski, feeling that the popularity of Let's Play is leading to a countrywide "crisis", sends out a message on Twitter to help families come together. In response, Bill Cosby visits Kyle and invites him to star in a Christmas television special. Kyle agrees, unaware that Cosby is a hologram. The holiday special, entitled "The Washington Redskins Go Fuck Yourself Holiday Special", a production of the conspiracy between Randy's former producer and Eric Cartman, is planned to feature various celebrities, holograms, and Cartman's commentary, along with performances of various holidays songs. The producer's staff, however, feels unaware that he has given too much power to Cartman, whose growing popularity results in his commentary window pervading throughout the world. Upon seeing an advertisement for the special, Kyle is furious that his idea has become a social media project, while Stan Marsh is upset at his father Randy's supposed involvement.
