The other day, when we were learning about the story of Moses de Leon possibly writing the Zohar, we heard a story about how after his death, his wife told visitors to his home that he made it all up...
I mentioned to one of the Adams in our class that it sounded exactly like an episode of South Park. After class the Rabbi and myself and a couple of other students realized that it's the Mormon episode. Only, as the Rabbi points out, the "Book of Mormon" is their core text, while the Zohar is not.
But I found the episode on YouTube (here's a short cliffs notes of the South Park story of Mormon):
