Ants in the Pants
Ants in the Pants is a board game created by insect game-theme designer William H. Schaper, originally published by Schaper's company Schaper's Games in 1969. The game was purchased by Hasbro in 1986, and Hasbro still manufactures and markets the game today.
It appeared in the Season One episode "Damien".
Background
Kyle gives Cartman his present at his birthday party, which Cartman anticipates will be the Red Mega-man, but once he opens it he finds a set of Ants in the Pants. This enrages Cartman as he cannot complete his Mega-Man collection, beating up Kyle and furiously berating him. In response, Cartman shuts down the party and kicks everyone out, throwing the game box at Kyle.
Appearance
