Cripple Fight/Trivia

Trivia

 * This episode marks the first appearance of Jimmy Valmer.
 * Among the scouts are Butters Stotch, Token Black, a black-haired Tweek Tweak, and a blond-haired Clyde Donovan. Craig Tucker's dad can also be seen in the bar discussing Big Gay Al, but if Craig is a scout he keeps his hat off.
 * As usual, Kenny has his orange hood up despite being in scout uniform. However, his parka's sleeves are missing - a similar mistake is made in "Raisins".
 * Jimmy's eyebrows are brown in this episode. Later, though, they become the normal black.
 * The Mountain Scouts’ branding as a hate group is a reference to the controversy of the BSA banning homosexual members, particularly the Boy Scouts of America v. Dale case in 2000.
 * In a UK poll, Paramount Comedy's Top 10 Episodes, this episode was ranked number 8. "Park Life", the documentary accompanying the countdown, showcased how the positive characterization of Big Gay Al in this episode is what earned it so much respect.
 * Among the live-threatening events that happened to Jimmy while wearing one of Kenny's parkas were a falling safe, a vulture, a car crash, a herd of stampeding cows, Jimbo and Ned shooting at him from a rooftop, and one of NASA's Space Shuttles nearly crashing into him.
 * This is the first episode in which Timmy begins to show advanced cognitive ability. In previous episodes, he is shown to have near-complete mental disability.
 * Mr. Grazier was in Jimbo and Ned's platoon in Vietnam, as seen in the episode "The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka".
 * The mini-DVD commentary for the episode describes how the fight between Jimmy and Timmy is based on the fight between George Nada (Roddy Piper) and Frank Armitage (Keith David) in the 1988 film They Live. When overdubbed with the appropriate audio from the film, the fight sounds and much of the dialogue match up almost perfectly with the animation.
 * Kyle Broflovski does not appear in this episode.
 * The picture of the black man in a Superman costume that Big Gay Al looks at while packing is of a local celebrity in LA who dresses up at cons and also occasionally appears on the streets. According to the South Park Studios FAQ, the photo was included because "it fit perfectly" within the scene.

Goofs

 * Kyle's parents can be seen in the Catholic Church, when Cartman enters, announcing the Cripple Fight. Since they are Jewish, they shouldn't be there (though they could have been there for a funeral/event).
 * During the scene in which Jimmy does impersonations of the townsfolk, Sharon Marsh appears to be wearing lipstick, when in other episodes she doesn't.
 * Tweek can be seen in several scenes, but his hair is black instead of blonde.
 * During the fight, Timmy's uniform has the number "0" on its side. However, the number of the troop is supposed to be "69". (This could be because Jimmy said at the start of the episode that he traveled around states, so he wasn't in the South Park troop at the time).
 * Kenny is seen sitting in the scout meeting in the last scene of the episode, even though he got carried away by an eagle minutes before.
