Cartoon Wars Part I/Trivia

Trivia

 * This is the first two-parter since season six's "Professor Chaos"/"Simpsons Already Did It".


 * Kyle's dream of Ike getting blown up by a nuclear bomb is a reference to Sarah Conner's nightmare in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.


 * A trailer is included at the end of the episode with parts of the next episode made to look more dramatic such as Cartman and Kyle's fight.
 * When Kyle shouts to Stan "Whats going on this time?" he could have been referencing Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow where everyone was running around screaming and panicking similar to this. Also, someone shouts "Get to the community center, again!"
 * This episode, along with Part II, is meant to address Matt and Trey's dislike for Family Guy. Like Cartman, they dislike the show for the show's seemingly constant and random jokes, which bear little relevance to the plot of the episodes. However, they still defend the show's constant desire to make light of any and all subjects, feeling that either everything should be open for mocking or nothing at all.
 * Kyle at one point breaks the fourth wall. This occurs when Cartman asks "How would you feel if there was a cartoon on television that makes fun of Jews all the time?", prompting Kyle to point to Cartman and utter a confused "Uhh...", referring to the fact that Cartman is the one constantly doing this on South Park.
