World War Zimmerman/Trivia

Trivia

 * This episode marks the first time someone actually calls Cartman a murderer, referencing his many killings.
 * In the promo, Cartman is wearing his usual attire when he searches for his gun, but in the actual episode he is dressed in his "rapper" attire.
 * In the promo, the woman is voiced by Trey Parker, but in the actual episode she is voiced by April Stewart.
 * As of this episode, Kyle is the only one of the 4 main boys who has never been shot.
 * In Cartman's dream, he has a re-enactment of the car scene from World War Z. He tunes the radio to 106.7 and the song, sung by Cartman, is playing "It's a Wonderful Day" by Canadian pop balladeer Michael Bublé. This would be an anachronism since the station, KBPI 106.7 FM out of Denver currently plays in the hard rock and metal format. Coincidentally, in Los Angeles, where the show is produced, has the station KROQ 106.7 FM out of Pasadena and also plays in the hard rock, metal format.
 * In one of the previews for this episode, when Cartman is warning everybody to get out of town, the woman asks "Does that little boy have a gun?", however in the actual episode the man asks this.

References to Popular Culture
