(The complete plot for this South Park Episode)
This South Park episode starts with Randy and the boys (Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Butters and Kenny) watching a football game. Randy is very excited and he is screaming "Boom! did you see that? Boom!". During this time he learns from Stan that kickoffs (for those who don't know football, a kickoff is a method of starting a drive in American football and Canadian football. Typically, a kickoff consists of one team – the "kicking team" – kicking the ball to the opposing team – the "receiving team". The receiving team is then entitled to return the ball. Kickoffs take place at the beginning of each half of play and any overtime period, and after each scoring play) have been banned from elementary school football due to fears of serious injury. Hearing that, Randy protests this at a PTA meeting, and sarcastically suggests implementing a ridiculously safe and emasculating new game called Sarcastaball. In this new game, the players wear bras and tinfoil hats ("because you know it's the future"), use a balloon instead of a ball and give hugs and compliments the opposing team instead of tackling them. Despite the sarcastic tone of his proposal, the PTA takes this idea literally, and implements it. Of course Randy is chosen to coach the South Park Elementary Sarcastaball team.Although Stan and his friends look askance at Sarcastaball, Butters proves to be a morale booster for his team, telling them that they must draw upon their "creamy center" where the "happy, loving goo" sits, a fact that allows them to be good to the others. So, the nation's youth embrace Sarcastaball over football and a National Sarcastaball League is created, and Marsh is made coach of the Denver Broncos, completed with sardonic cheerleaders and acerbic halftime performers. When this takes him away from coaching South Park Elementary, the team makes Butters team captain.
When Cartman tells Butters that his inability to be nice to people makes him a poor Sarcastaball player, Butters tells him that everyone has a creamy goo inside them that can make them good to others. Butters shows Eric a closet filled of jars of this "goo", which turns out to be semen that he has stored from his nocturnal emissions, some of which Cartman and the other players ingest in order to improve their game. This tactic spreads until a popular sports drink made of semen is publicly marketed and endorsed by professional players.
Meanwhile, after Randy's wife, Sharon, expresses to Randy her concern that he has become unable to speak without being sarcastic, they consult a doctor, who tells them that sarcasm has caused Randy irreversible brain damage. Randy then goes to his son's Sarcastaball game to plead with the crowd that sarcasm, and the game based on it, is dangerous. Stan and Cartman tell Randy that when Butters says that competitiveness can be compassionate, he is not being sarcastic, but entirely sincere, and that Randy is simply too grumpy to consider that the game can be played sincerely. When Stan gives his father some of the "sports drink" to boost his feelings of caring and goodness, Randy realizes it is semen. As a result, Butters is grounded for having others consume his semen. When he subsequently experiences an erection, his father tells him it is a "friendly compass" that informs him when friends are near, and that it is pointing up because Jesus is his friend.
