200/Trivia

Trivia

 * As a result of this episode, Trey Parker and Matt Stone were threatened by a radical Islamic website Revolutionmuslim.com. for including an image of Mohammad in disguise. (However, it turned out to be Santa Claus in disguise the next episode.)
 * A cake (pictured) was made for the South Park crew shortly before the day of the episode's broadcast in celebration of what they felt was a "milestone" for the series.
 * Some of the celebrities that appeared in 200 and 201, include Al Gore, Angelina Jolie, Barack Obama, Barbra Streisand (as Mecha-Streisand), Barry Bonds, Ben Affleck, Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, Bill Donohue, Billy Bob Thorton, Bob Saget, Bono, Brian Boitano, Brian Dennehy, Britney Spears, Brooke Shields, Charlie Sheen, Christopher Reeve, David Blaine, David Duchovny, David Letterman, Eric Roberts, Francis Ford Coppola, Fred Savage, Gary Condit, George Lucas, Hillary Clinton, Indiana Jones, Jared Fogle, Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Buffett, John Edward, John Travolta, Johnnie Cochran, Kanye West, Kathie Lee Gifford, Kurt Russell, Liza Minnelli, M. Night Shyamalan, Martha Stewart, Mel Gibson, Michael Bay, Michael Douglas, Michael Jackson, Michael Richards, Mickey Mouse, O.J. Simpson, Oprah Winfrey, Osama bin Laden, Paris Hilton, Paul Watson, Phil Collins, Pope Benedict XVI, Rob Reiner, Rob Schneider (as a carrot), Robert Redford, Rod Stewart, Rosie O'Donnell, Russell Crowe, Sally Struthers, Sarah Jessica Parker, Steve Irwin, Steven Spielberg, Sylvester Stallone, Tiger Woods, Tim Burton, Tina Yothers, Tom Cruise, and Winona Ryder.
 * Several deceased celebrities (both in real life and show continuity) are shown in the episode. This may have been intentional as all the celebrities would've had to be inserted one-by-one in the animation process. However, the fact that celebrities such as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have managed to appear again, despite on-screen deaths in the show, may imply that celebrities have a Kenny-esque loophole in the South Park Continuity that allows them to die, and come back without explanation.
 * The promo video of the celebrities in front of the citizens of South Park talking about a class-action law suit is never seen.
 * When Tom Cruise is seen jumping and ranting on the couch where Oprah is sitting, this is a reference to when he did the same thing on an episode of Oprah.
 * While many of the characters retain their old appearance in this episode (although many have had their looks "polished" since their initial appearances), Mecha-Streisand's is completely re-designed from her initial appearance in Season 1. She is now completely CGI in design in a far more elaborate manner.
 * As Mecha-Streisand is powered up, a Japanese voice (parodying the Japenese Man who sung in a similar tone in Mecha-Streisand) is heard singing: "バーブラ、バーブラ、一番嫌いな人. 　バーブラ、バーブラ、鼻が大きい" (Baabura, Baabura, Ichiban Kirai Na Hito. Baabura, Baabura, Hana Ga Ookii) which translates into English as: "Barbara, Barbara, the person we hate the most. Barbara, Barbara, your nose is big". This is referencing to Matt and Trey's hatred for her (In fact, they once happily said "A lot of our fans ask us "Do you really hate the celebrities you make fun of in South Park?" And the answer is, Of course not. It's all just in good fun... except when it comes to Barbra Streisand! We hate her!").
 * Although 200 was originally available for purchase on iTunes, it has now been taken off the South Park Season 14 section.

Continuity

 * This episode shows assorted Celebrities who are dead either in real life, South Park continuity, or both.
 * Despite being dead in real life (and in the show as well), Michael Jackson, Johnnie Cochran, Christopher Reeve and Steve Irwin are present in this episode. Irwin in particular may still be dead in the show, as he is present to still have a stingray in his chest (as seen in "Hell on Earth 2006"), but was allowed to return temporarily from Hell for the sake of the lawsuit.
 * Although alive in real life, Britney Spears, Paul Watson, Eric Roberts, Osama bin Laden, Rob Reiner, Rosie O'Donnell, Sarah Jessica Parker, Rob Schneider, Bill Donohue and Barbara Streisand have all been killed on screen in South Park episodes.
 * George Lucas & Steven Spielberg were both killed in "Free Hat", but they somehow managed to come back from the dead so as to appear again in "The China Probrem". In this episode, they are holding a scantily BDSM dressed Indiana Jones on a leash.
 * Kanye West died in a deleted scene from the Season 13 episode "Fishsticks", but due to the fact this scene was not kept in normal broadcasting episodes, this may not be considered technically canon.
 * Rob Reiner was stabbed to death by Cartman in Butt Out, but as with the other celebrities, reappears here.


 * Tom Cruise, John Travolta and the whole of Scientology threatened to sue Stan Marsh, once before in the episode "Trapped in the Closet".
 * In the trailer, the Boys were forced to appear before the town counsel. They did so before during the episode "The F Word".
 * This marks the second appearance of Jared Fogle.


 * This marks the the third appearance/mentioning of Muhammad. In his first apperance Super Best Friends, he was shown uncensored without issue.
 * Jesus appears in this episode after having not had a prominent role for some time.
 * This episode makes reference to assorted past episodes such as "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut", "Trapped in the Closet", "Mecha-Streisand" and many, many others.
 * This is the first real appearance of Mr. Hat since "The Death Camp of Tolerance", although he does appear in a cameo in Pre-School
 * Cartman first began to question who his father was in, Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut. However it wasn't until "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut" that Cartman's father was allegedly Liane Cartman who was supposedly a hermaphrodite. Before this episode, this had only been referenced to one other time in "City on the Edge of Forever".
 * The "Goo" that Rob Reiner mentions, is a reference to the goo that leaked out of him at the end of "Butt Out".
 * The "Packing Fudge" comments directed at Tom Cruise are similar to the "Come out of the Closest" comments made in "Trapped in the Closet". Both are hardly subtle jokes regarding the rumors that Tom Cruise is homosexual who is in the closet. Also note the many closets Jared finds in Tom's house.
 * Second appearance of Mitch Conner. The first was "Fat Butt and Pancake Head".
 * Bono mentions being made of shit, as seen in "More Crap".
 * The Diamond of Pantheos, which transformed Barbara Streisand into Mecha-Streisand was broken apart and hidden in the five corners of Canada. However, Mel Gibson is seen using the Diamond to re-power the newly rebuilt Mecha-Streisand. They could have all located them and retrieved them though.
 * During Starvin' Marvin in Space, Sally Struthers was shown to look like Jabba the Hutt. However in The Death of Eric Cartman and this episode, she is shown to look human again like in her first appearance in Starvin' Marvin.
 * While not stated specifically, it appears that the current group of Ginger Extremists may be a revival of the group founded by Eric Cartman. They are for example using the Sunset Ballroom at the Airport Hilton. The original Ginger Extremist Group appeared in "Ginger Kids".
 * Tim Burton was the only celebrity to join Tom Cruise's group, but had not yet been made fun of on South Park. (Though, when Tom Cruise convinced Tim to join him, questioning if Tim would appreciate if someone mocked him that "he hasn't had an original idea since Beetlejuice" and his constant partnership with Johnny Depp saying that if he loved him so much he should marry him already, ironically mocking Tim through the South Park world).

Goofs

 * Despite the fact that the confrontation between the South Park townspeople and the Gingers in South Park's road and the confrontation between Cartman, Mr. Garrison, Mitch Conner, and Mr. Hat at Mr. Garrison's house happen at the same time, Mr. Garrison is shown in both locations. The South Park staff stated that it was a goof. It was fixed for syndication.
