The Dawson's Creek Trapper Keeper Ultra Keeper Futura S 2000, usually referred to as "Trapper Keeper", is the main antagonist in the eponymous Season Four episode "Trapper Keeper".

Background[]

The Dawson's Creek Trapper Keeper Ultra Keeper Futura S 2000 is an advanced functional Trapper Keeper, it has ten different compartments for every subject in school, an electronic pencil sharpener, four plastic bags with electronic zippers, copy machine, fax, picture of Dawson's Creek on the back, flat-screen TV, and OnStar. It can be coded to user's fingerprints to avoid theft and comes with a trapper keeper homing device. Most important of all, it can add any peripheral device to itself automatically, a function seemingly practical but actually runs out of control later on.

The Trapper Keeper began to "hybrid" with various appliances in Cartman's bedroom, and eventually began to "hybrid" with him, taking on a vaguely similar appearance to him and using his voice. After assimilating with the supercomputer at Cheyenne Mountain, it partially absorbs Rosie O'Donnell, greatly sickening it. This allowed Kyle to remove the CPU, freeing Cartman and destroying the Trapper Keeper.

Trivia[]

  • In an alternate timeline, it became too powerful to stop and took over the world.
  • Cartman becomes an almost unstoppable blob thing that spoofs the transforming Tetsuo in the anime film Akira.
  • Kyle's method for defeating the trapper keeper spoofs the method that HAL 9000 is defeated in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  • Dawson's Creek was a TV drama that ran from 1998 to 2003.
