My Future Self n' Me/Trivia

Trivia

 * One of the channels Sharon flips through is showing a "Cheesy Poofs" commercial.

References to Popular Culture

 * At one point, Stan briefly watches The Osbournes before his mother changes the channel on him, telling him that the show will make him "retarded". To poke fun at the frequent cursing in The Osbournes, random pieces of dialogue were censored, even if the family wasn't actually swearing in those particular occasions.

Goofs

 * Stephen is once again wrongly named 'Chris' in this episode.
 * The promotional image of Stan's 'future self' (see title image above) is the not the completed model used for the episode. In the episode, Stan's future-self is considerably more over-weight, with long messy brown hair, and heavily lidded eyes.
 * Theoretically, if Cartman became a mechanic, he would never have actually had the chance to go back in time and tell himself about his future as a time travel CEO, because he didn't invent it. This is a form of 'grandfather paradox,' in which it is impossible to change the past because it would alter your present. In the end, Cartman still has a chance at becoming a CEO of a time travel company.
