Perhaps we could add something about how this episode also is a parody of South Park's standard formula (Kyle's words). Redge(Talk) 23:27, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Looks like there's already some mention of it in there, but I added another line. 75.37.21.139 10:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The clause

Cartman is largely based on the character Archie Bunker from All in the Family

was unsourced, so I rephrased it to instead just say that they're similar characters. 75.37.21.139 10:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

When this episode first came on Comedy Central, it ended after Cartman groaned over being grounded. All reruns and the DVD version include a short scene after that where Stan tells Kyle that everything worked out great, but Kyle, upset over no one heeding his warning about avoiding the big showdown near the end, angrily mutters, "No, it didn't," and walks away.

He actually says, "I guess we learned out lesson, huh?" and Kyle says, "No we didn't."

I removed the bullet about how the 6th graders ran out of the school even though it was an elementary school. That isn't rare enough to merit an explanation.

some elementary schools operate with a k-6 setting anyways--69.81.91.18 (talk) 03:35, 15 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Cite the following;

• The people working for Rob Reiner bear a resemblance to those the character Winston Smith describes working at the Ministry of Truth in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
• The man who first tells Cartman to eat the cupcake greatly resembles Gríma Wormtongue or Dracula, and even shares some of his characteristics. His black trench coat with an overly stiff collar and clique logo on the heart is a direct reference to Pink from Pink Floyd The Wall. Notably, Pink's character and his clique (the walking hammers) were also Fascist.
• Reiner's cry of "My goo! My precious goo!" is also reminiscent of Oogie Boogie's final words in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. His death is similar to that of the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz.
• Rob Reiner tells the tobacco company "You've just been Reiner'd!", a reference to Punk'd and The Jamie Kennedy Experiment.
• Amongst the crowd of people welcoming Reiner is a man with a sign reading "We love Meathead". This is a reference to Reiner's most well known performance as Mike Stivic in All in the Family, where he was called "meathead" by Archie Bunker.

And it can return to the main article. Alastairward (talk) 08:02, 18 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
