The Hardly Boys are private investigators, who appear in the Season Ten episode, "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce", where they parody the Hardy Boys, a literary duo.

Background[]

When Mr. Mackey becomes obsessed with discovering who defecated in the boy's room urinal of South Park Elementary, he contacts the police, who in turn hire the Hardly Boys to help figure out who was responsible. Upon being summoned, a voice-over gives them a form introduction of "two young whippersnappers with a knack for solving mysteries". However, upon arriving at the scene, they both prove to be apparently inept, by constantly saying that they are feeling "raging clues" which in truth means they are both getting erections.

They both seem to talk with their teeth firmly closed shut and with homosexual lisps, and spend most of their investigation moaning about their "clues". Whenever they are around both they and those around them continuously make innuendos to erections.

They are later also hired to solve the 9/11 conspiracy, for which Cartman has been claiming the Jews, Kyle in particular, are responsible. Once again, the boys appear to be solely concerned with their erections rather than the investigation of the case.

Later, however, when Stan and Kyle meet the Hardly Boys' detective father, Mr. Hardly informs them that the Hardly Boys managed to discover the truth behind both the Urinal Deuce and the 9/11 Conspiracy by "following their clues" to a 9/11 Conspiracy Party, where they were "getting clues every two minutes" and where Frank almost "shot clue goo all over Joe". They discover that 9/11 conspiracy theories are themselves a conspiracy conceived by the government to make themselves look more powerful than they really are.
