Follow That Egg!/Trivia

Trivia

 * In a blooper, Craig is assigned TWO 'wives' (Millie and Red) by Mrs.Garrison. When the children actually pair up for the project though, Craig goes with Red and Millie goes with Clyde.
 * Butters does not appear in this episode, as he's presumably still locked in the basement dungeon. Pip, Tweek, Jimmy and Francis are also absent from the class.
 * This episode and "Ginger Kids" are the first instances of Powder, Esther, Millie, and Heidi appearing in the classroom. This episode also marks the first appearance of Lola.


 * The couples in the egg project initially are:
 * Stan and Bebe (later Stan and Kyle)
 * Kyle and Wendy (later Bebe and Wendy, but Mrs. Garrison didn't use them to improve the thing about "gay couple")
 * Cartman and Heidi
 * Kenny and Sally
 * Craig and Rebecca
 * Clyde and Millie
 * Token and Lola
 * Bradley and Esther
 * Timmy and Annie

References to pop culture

 * The scene in which Kyle reveals he had hidden the real egg and replaces the one "killed" by the assassin references Star Trek. Kyle asks Stan if he really thinks his hat is stupid (a comment made by Stan over the phone earlier in the episode). Stan approaches Kyle, and says: "As a matter of fact, I think it is the nicest hat I have ever known". Stan uses the exact same intonation and style of Captain Picard in Star Trek: First Contact, when he apologizes to Mr. Worf after calling him a coward by saying: "In fact, I think you're the bravest man I have ever known."
 * The song Mrs. Garrison sings on love, near the beginning of the show, sounds very similar to "Love Changes Everything", the theme song from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Aspects of Love.
 * When Stan is sitting at the coffee table and then at the kitchen table, Stan's arms are drawn similarly to those of Linus and Charlie Brown from Peanuts, usually as they are leaning on the brick wall. He has large forearms and his fingers (he's not wearing gloves) are displayed; at the kitchen table, one arm is resting on the table and his other hand on the side of his face, a pose often assumed by Peanuts characters.

Goofs

 * When Kyle is talking to Wendy when she comes to check on her egg, a few of his words are Stan's voice, not Kyle's.
