Medicinal Fried Chicken/Trivia

Trivia

 * The condition of Randy and the other men appears to be Elephantiasis of the scrotum rather than testicular cancer. Of course the increased size is no doubt a humorous exaggeration of the tumors in his testicles.


 * This episode marks the fourth mention of KFC, but the second time in which KFC's importance to the boys is a driving story point.


 * Cartman makes numerous references to the March/April 2010 scandal in the Catholic Church that Pope Benedict XVI protected the priest that molested over 200 deaf boys, as well as other pedophile priests (which drew massive controversy).


 * In real life, Colonel Harland David Sanders has been deceased since 1980.


 * Tommy's character, appearance, and personality are very similar to Tommy Vercetti, the main character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.


 * Much of Cartman's story this episode is a parody of assorted drug related movies, most prominently towards the end, which is an obvious reference of the Scarface film.


 * Cartman's relationship with Colonal Sanders parodies the relationship between Tony Montana and Alejandro Sosa in Scarface.


 * KFC was really founded in North Corbin, Kentucky.


 * The song played when the men are bouncing across the screen on their balls is similar to the Baby Elephant Walk but original is Chicken on the Rocks by Jean Jacques-Perry.


 * Kenny has no lines and isn't shown again after they find out that KFC has been replaced. This is also the last time we see Kyle in this episode as well. (Stan is seen a few more times during the episode but only very briefly).


 * Buffalo Soldier is a song by Bob Marley.


 * One of the Miller's aides, Kevin, has previously appeared in Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo.
 * Ted the mustached Mayor's Aide has a new replacement in this episode since he was killed in Night of the Living Homeless.
