"The Snuke" is episode 1104 (#157) of Comedy Central's animated comedy series "South Park". It was originally broadcast on March 28, 2007.

Plot

The episode begins when a new student is enrolled in Ms. Garrison's class. He is named Bahir Hassam Abdul Hakeem, a child of Muslim parents whose mere presence upsets Cartman to the point that he actually leaves class, asking Ms. Garrison whether Bahir has been searched for bombs. Cartman then calls Kyle (who just happened to be at home, sick), on his cell phone, and Cartman asks him to do a web search for Bahir's background by using MySpace. Kyle finds out that Bahir just recently moved from Chicago. Cartman asks Kyle to see if there are important events that day, and figures that Bahir may target Hillary Clinton ('Hildog'), who is in town for a political rally. Cartman takes this as a terrorist threat, then proceeds to call the CIA, claiming that he will only speak directly to the President.

A short while later, the school is evacuated via a drill and announcement, Bahir happily goes with Butters to hang out, and to make things better, Butters starts to accept Bahir as a friend. As that is happening, the CIA calls Hillary's convoy to warn them of a possible threat. They decide to continue the rally, and as she is doing so, her security sends out a bomb-sniffing pig (similar to the manner of which a pig searches for white truffles), which finds that there is a nuclear device in Hillary Clinton's vagina. This was referred to as a "Snuke" (a suitcase nuke designed to fit in a woman's "snizz") in Clinton's "snatch". The CIA call Clinton to tell her that "the terrorists have snuck a snuke in [her] snizz." To find the location of the detonator, Cartman "tortures" Bahir's parents by farting in their faces, to tell him the whereabouts of their son. Cartman gets no response from Bahir's father, so he then injects himself with a syringe full of apple juice, which he claims gives him "super bad farts," and continues to torture them. However, once he hears that Bahir is at Butters' house, Cartman runs off.

While Cartman is attempting to accost Bahir while running away from Butters' house, the Russians abduct both Cartman and Bahir, the former for blurting out the attempt on Mrs. Clinton. While they threaten their prisoners, their conversation reveals that the Russians who placed the snuke are merely pawns in service of America's oldest enemy - the British. The Russians are mercenaries who were being paid by Queen Elizabeth II to serve as a distraction while an 18th-century style fleet of British wooden sailing vessels, complete with British redcoats armed with 18th-century weapons (although they carry cell phones to communicate with the Queen), made a surprise attack to "put an end to the American Revolution". After Kyle, Stan, the FBI, CIA, ATF, and numerous other agencies raid the mercenaries, the Russians warn the federal agents that the detonator is set to go off when the clock reaches 1:00. However, the power goes out and the clock is reset, blinking 12:00 repeatedly once the power comes back on. The various American enforcement agencies continue the attack and the British fleet is annihilated. Upon hearing the news of the attack's failure from the fleet's leader, the Queen commits suicide by shooting herself with a modern handgun. Back in South Park, Kyle tells everybody that the moral of the experience was that one should not be suspicious of just one race of people, "because actually, most of the world hates America." Even though Cartman is now convinced that Bahir is innocent, he refuses to apologize for falsely suspecting him (even though he wants to), pointing out that if he had not suspected Bahir due to his religion he would have never called Kyle, and the actual terrorism plot would not have been solved; thus, he points out, "racism and bigotry saved America.", so no apology needs to be made at all. When Bahir's father then announces that he and his family are leaving the country, Cartman also claims credit for "getting rid of the Muslims."

Left unexplained is the fate of the snuke in Sen. Clinton's vagina. She is last seen when one of her aides is eaten by an unidentified creature in her vagina while attempting to remove the snuke.
