Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000/Trivia

Trivia

 * This episode marks the first two times Pip uses a curse word. Pip is seen yelling "Shut up, fat ass!" with the other kids, and again saying, "Let's hear it for Cartman's big fat ass!"
 * After Cartman goes to Kenny for help, Kenny says a curse word so clearly that it is bleeped.
 * The name of the hill the sled race is being held on is "Phil Collins Hill". This is a reference to Trey Parker losing the Oscar Category for Best song to Phil Collins. It was also referenced two episodes later within more details.
 * It is revealed Clyde is the second fattest kid in South Park, even though he looks the same weight as the other boys.

 * The first major appearance of Token Black.
 * When Stan and Kyle keep on calling Clyde fat, he starts to sound like Cartman.
 * This was the first of the four South Park episodes to have "2000" at the end of the title, spoofing the fact that, in early 2000, seemingly every piece of media had the year 2000 behind it.
 * This is the first time something Kenny said was bleeped even though it was muffled.
 * Instead of the traditional "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" phrase, when Kenny is crushed by the bricks, Stan and Kyle say nonchalantly "Oh my god, we killed Kenny." "We killed Kenny?" "We killed Kenny, we're bastards".
 * The game that Cartman smuggles into prison, Tic Tac Throw, is not a real game.
