Continuity

 * In the commercial for Butters' Creamy Goo, Butters Stotch pops out through a hole saying "Like me!" in a manner similar to how he said "That's me!" in "Butters' Very Own Episode".
 * Butters seems to have forgotten what erections are, however he explained them earlier to Jimmy Valmer in the Season Nine episode "Erection Day".
 * Butters' tap shoes can be seen in his closet when he shows Cartman his collection of "goo". They can be seen on the top shelf, in a box that says "Tap Shoes". This is a reference to the episode "You Got F'd in the A".
 * Butters' Professor Chaos helmet and necklace (The tin can tops one.), is in his closet when he shows Cartman his "goo". Professor Chaos was featured in many past episodes.
 * Stan's comment at the end of the episode, about his father always exaggerating any illness he gets is a reference to his hypochondria. Randy exaggerates his alcoholism in "Bloody Mary", going so far as to put himself in a wheelchair. Stan even says that his father is a hypochondriac in "Bloody Mary".
 * This is Cartman's second episode where semen is used as plot device. The first was in "Simpsons Already Did It" where Cartman gathers semen in an attempt to combine them with sea-man, and as a result, create 'sea-people'.

Goofs

 * When Butters shows Cartman his "goo", his Professor Chaos helmet can be seen. The red thing in the center appears on Butters' forehead whenever he wears it. This would mean that it is floating in mid air.
 * When Stan offers Randy a bottle of Butters' "goo", he had nothing in his hands in the last segment. In the next, he has a little bottle.
