The Tooth Fairy Tats 2000/Trivia

Trivia

 * This episode marks the first appearance of Timmy Burch. His very existence was brought into question by Comedy Central, as they feared bad publicity with a handicapped kid on the show. Parker and Stone argued that Timmy being treated like a normal kid would be a good moral statement. Timmy soon became one of the most popular characters.
 * Richard Belzer was the voice of Loogie. Although Belzer did the voice of Loogie for most of the episode, Trey Parker did Loogie's voice at the end because Belzer couldn't re-record dialogue.
 * The equations shown at the ADA meeting are arbitrary and are not mathematically correct.
 * Fourth Wall: Cartman yells "Camera left! Camera left!" when Kyle, Stan and Kenny moves him to the left with a pole.
 * Kenny is shown without his hood for the first time on the TV run (previously he had only been seen unhooded in South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut), but his face isn't seen in this. For some reason, after he got pulled out of his parka by Timmy, his groaning still sounds muffled.
 * Loogie's goons sound similar to the underpants gnomes.
 * This is the second of 4 episodes that end in 2000, spoofing many TV shows that ended in 2000 around the turn of the millennium.
 * This is the first episode where Timmy says something else than his own name.
 * In this episode the Mega Man dolls make a second appearance. Their first was in Season 1's "Damien".
 * When Cartman is in the hot tub after seeing the news broadcast, in the background there is Cartman's dolls Polly Prissypants, Rumpertumskin and Peter Panda.

References to Popular culture

 * During Kyle's apotheosis scene, Kyle briefly appears in the form of the Star-Child from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
 * The song used during Kyle's discorporation is a medley of two songs from the Primus album Pork Soda (1993); the first part is from the title track, the second part is from "Welcome To This World."
 * The location of the (fictional) Crestview Apartments mentioned in the newscast is a reference to local radio advertisements for The Shane Company location in Greenwood Village, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.
 * The name of the dentist Doctor Robert could be a reference to a song by The Beatles Doctor Robert of the album Revolver.

Kenny's Death

 * Kenny gets thrown in the river with his feet in cement, but nothing happens to him as the Platte River is only about 10 inches deep. In the end, forgotten by everyone. He tries to get out but he hits a deep spot (literally only enough to cover his face) and probably drowns.
