The Ring/Trivia

Trivia

 * This is one of three post-rebirth episodes that focus on Kenny, the other three are Major Boobage, and Best Friends Forever.
 * A clip from this episode is used as Kenny's lines for the opening theme for Season 14.

Continuity

 * Despite being described as Kenny's first "real" girlfriend, this is actually his second following on from Kelly who he met at Getting Gay With Kids choir tour during "Rainforest Schmainforest" . She remained in contact after he left the choir as well as referenced in "Spontaneous Combustion", but this episode reveals they have been broken up for some time.


 * During the concert when the young girls are seen getting aroused by the Jonas Brothers, we see a glimpse of Mr. Slave as well as his catchphrase "Ooh Jesuth Chrithst!" as he masturbates, marking his first appearance since Season Nine's "Follow That Egg!", noticeably his civil partner Big Gay Al is absent from the scene. Even more oddly, Matt and Trey stated after Follow That Egg! that they planned to retire Mr. Slave.
 * Also present is the baby Chantel who appeared in the episode "Freak Strike" on Maury.


 * When Kenny buys the tickets for the concert one of the upcoming events is "Stinky Britches". This was a song that Chef wrote and was heard in "Chef Aid" as well as "Prehistoric Ice Man".

Kenny's Death
This episode marks Kenny's first death since Season Eleven's "The List".

Kenny's death occurs at the end of the episode after Kenny and Tammy decide to finally stop wearing the purity rings. Having tried to get a blowjob from her through the entire episode after having learned that she did one for a boy behind TGI Fridays, she invites him to go there with her to his delight. In the next scene we see his funeral, with Priest Maxi acknowledging the dangers of Syphilis which Kenny contracted during oral sex with Tammy. This backs up Cartman's claim earlier in the episode that girls' mouths are the most disgusting place on Earth. We do not learn of Tammy's fate, but she did not appear at the funeral.
