"Mecha-Streisand" is episode 12 of Comedy Central 's Animated Series '' South Park ''. It originally aired in its first season, on February 18 , 1998 . PLOT On a Fossil dig, Cartman discovers the Triangle of Zinthar, only to throw it away, but Kyle recovers it, thinking it somewhat cool. Cartman, however, instantly wants it back when Kyle gets on TV because of it. After going through ridiculous measures to reclaim the artifact, such as sawing a hole through Kyle's roof and searching Kyle's room as he sleeps, Kyle tires of the situation and gives the triangle back to Cartman. Shortly afterward, Barbra Streisand comes to town and meets the boys. Although she becomes angry when she learns they don't know or care who she is, she is greatly interested in the triangle, and later offers a monetary reward in exchange for it, which the boys foolishly accept. They go along with Barbra to her house to make the transaction. Meanwhile, Leonard Maltin seeks out Chef and informs him of Barbra's malicious intentions: to combine the triangle that the boys had found with one she had previously discovered, in order to become an evil super-villain. They then go in search of her mansion home in the mountains to try to prevent her from fulfilling her objectives. Once at her mansion home, Barbra Streisand ties up and tortures the boys with her singing until they relent and give up the triangle, which Cartman had hidden in his shoe. She takes the triangle and combines it with the one she had unearthed years before, forming the Diamond of Pantheos. The Diamond transforms Streisand into Mecha-Streisand, a Giant Mechanical Dinosaur -songstress that begins to wreak havoc over South Park. Shortly thereafter, Leonard Maltin and Chef find Streisand's home and free the boys, who fill them in on what had just occurred. As Streisand goes about destroying the town, Leonard Maltin transforms into a '' Ultraman ''-like Superhero , in hopes of defeating the evil Mecha-Streisand. Streisand proves too powerful, though, and Maltin is quickly defeated. Sidney Poitier arrives and takes the form of a giant turtle much like Gamera . He, too, is no match for Mecha-Streisand, and South Park appears in utter peril until Robert Smith of The Cure comes. He morphs into a giant moth, in the form of Mothra , and is told what to do through a Wrist-watch , like Giant Robo . Discovering that Mecha-Streisand's weak spot is the nose, Smith is able to punch the Diamond of Pantheos out of her—using the ''Robert Punch''—thus rendering her powerless. Smith is then able to mega-toss the weakened Mecha-Streisand into outer space, where she explodes. After the fighting subsides, Robert Smith walks off into the sunset while Kyle shouts " Disintegration is the best album ever!" The boys decide that the diamond is better off separated, as "no one should have that kind of power." However, the episode ends with it being re-discovered, and the boys cowering in the presence of a giant Ike Broflovski , Mecha-Ike. KENNY'S DEATH During a battle between Mecha Streisand and Leonard Maltin, Kenny avoids all sorts of falling debris with Stan and Kyle. Kenny escapes to the school playground, starts up a game of Tetherball , and is strangled to death when the tetherball rope pins him to the pole as it wraps tightly around his neck.
