Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants/Trivia

Trivia

 * In the commentary of the episode, Matt Stone states that he hates Stevie Nicks, hence the goat.
 * General Plymkin, from "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" makes an appearance here as the commander of the American Forces in Afghanistan.
 * The episode’s first title was “Osama bin Laden Has a Really Really Small Penis,” a statement which is addressed during the Bugs Bunny-like chase scene where it takes 12 magnifying glasses to make it visible.

References to popular culture

 * The song performed by Fleetwood Mac and the goat at the end of the episode is a parody of the 1981 Stevie Nicks song "Edge of Seventeen."
 * Cartman parodies the Bugs Bunny cartoons with signs depicting two pictures — which, when saying the two words together, forms a humorous word or phrase describing the antagonist (Elmer Fudd-like Bin Laden). His signs describe Bin Laden as "screwball," "shithead," "jackass," "cocksucker," and "Barbra Streisand." The first one of these (screwball) is the only one of true Looney Tunes vintage, the rest come from his string of curses at the end of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
 * The scenes with Cartman and Osama also spoof the various Warner Bros./Disney cartoons during World War II, where in the characters interact with animated versions of Nazis as to mock them. Osama’s last line, "Terrorists is the CRAZIEST peoplez", is directly from a Warner Bros. short called "Russian Rhapsody" where Hitler says, "Nazis is the CRAZIEST peoplez"
 * Cartman calls the Afghanis Jawas, from the Star Wars series.
 * Osama says "Derka Derka", "Jihad" and "Mulla Mulla" like the Iraqis in Team America: World Police (Also made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone).

Goofs

 * At the start of the episode, the four boys are seen wearing gas masks with only one breathing tube. Later, when they are checked before boarding the school bus, their gas masks are seen with two breathing tubes.
 * When Stan is leaving the room after showing his parents his package, part of his head remains on-screen while his parents react to the package.
 * When the boys are held captive by Osama, they are ordered from left to right on chairs Kenny, Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and the goat. However, later in the recording being watched from Stan's House, they are ordered Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and the goat.
