** Eric Cartman: On an {{color|orange}} version of the lines background, Eric Cartman stands to the right, facing the camera while holding a box of Cheesy Poofs in front of a brick wall and some snow-covered mountains. Cartman looks to the left before looking shocked and facing the camera fearfully as a {{color|orangered|dark orange}} line races towards him and falls over on him on contact, which angers him. He tries to push away the line only for more and more lines to race forth and fall over on him, causing him to throw a screeching tantrum and shake his Cheesy Poofs box in rage, causing it to emit a cloud of cheesy dust each time. The last line passes through and wipes the scene away to reveal the Channel 4 logo. | ** Eric Cartman: On an {{color|orange}} version of the lines background, Eric Cartman stands to the right, facing the camera while holding a box of Cheesy Poofs in front of a brick wall and some snow-covered mountains.

The lid of the box begins to shake, which Kyle notices, and Mr. Hankey flies out and waves his right arm. He then jumps onto and all around the {{color|darkviolet|indigo}} background, leaving fecal smears as he does so and causing Kyle to stare at the camera in concern. He then jumps back over to Kyle to leave a smear on the {{color|olive|olive green}} building before going back into the box and the {{color|darkviolet|indigo}} background wipes away the scene to reveal the Channel 4 logo. | ||

*** On a similar background as the Kyle ident, to the right is Kenny McCormick standing at the Bus Stop. He looks to the left and up for a moment before looking back at the camera and tightening his hood out of fear as a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} line races towards him. The line briefly stops, squishing his head as it does so, before proceeding to move and crushing his head, leaving a thin bloody line. The Channel 4 logo wipes in. | *** On a similar background as the Kyle ident, to the right is Kenny McCormick standing at the Bus Stop.
