Well, we know who he is not. He’s not Kyle, Token, Jimmy or Timmy. I too thought it was going to be Kenny. I still think it is. ---

I loved how everyone knew Professor Choas and General Disarray (my favorite villian name) were the bad guys. ---

> [@tds1273](#): > > I think it was Clive though. Cartman did accuse him at one point, and as \*\*Diogenes \*\*pointed out, his sleeping was probably a subtle clue. He’s gotten a little more air time in the past season or so and it wouldn’t really be out of character for him. Nitpick: His name’s Clyde. Clyde Donovan, as a matter of fact. ---

The entire town knows who they are and believe in their identities! “I think I can get a clean shot!” “Do you really think bullets can harm Professor Chaos?” ---

He did point attention to this during a football game. Not to mention switching the soups at TGIF’s and cutting the head off a local statue. ---

I’ve missed a lot of South Park. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > A pretty good one tonight, if a bit dated. It was a TDK sendup when Watchmen would have been more timely. Still a pretty great episode. Loved the dueling, gravelly Christian Bale voices (Mysterion’s was better), and the reveal of Mysterion’s secret identity was awesome. I totally knew it was him. Who was it? Stan? They all look alike when they’re not in their winter coats and hats. ---

That was the joke. Everyone knows but the viewers. Mysterion guessing The Coon’s secret identity, based on body type - had it narrowed down to Eric Cartman, Bruce Vilanch, or Harvey Fierstein. 😃 ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Nitpick: His name’s Clyde. Clyde Donovan, as a matter of fact. You’re right. As well, I think I was mixing up Clyde and Craig. Craig is the one that went with them to Peru right? I still think it was Clyde; why else would they draw attention to him sleeping like that? Other highlights: Chaos Cube and Minions, and the return of the Airport Ramada concierge. ---

> [@tds1273](#): > > You’re right. > and the return of the Airport Ramada concierge. nitpick; Airport Hilton I thought it was a pretty good episode, I think it was Clyde too, but that might be to obvious a guess. At the beginning it think what Cartmen said was “a black man was elected president, he said things would change, they didn’t.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/south-park-3-18-the-coon/489994.md?page=1)
