Trivia

  • Reference is made to putting an asterisk next to Jesus' name - an asterisk (*) is used in record books to indicate a footnote, generally explaining that a result is somehow tainted.

References to Popular Culture

  • This episode references the Lance Armstrong doping allegations, using Jesus Christ as the central figure instead.
    • Armstrong’s cancer research foundation is referenced, along with the Livestrong wristband.
    • Jesus and Stan argue that the real issue is the farmers in Belarus, alluding to defenders of Armstrong who point out that despite his use of steroids he did raise a lot of funds for cancer research.
    • Stan says that a lie will grow in Craig's balls until it has to be cut out; this is a reference to Armstrong having a testicle amputated due to cancer.
  • Kyle says Stan needs to "Bill Clinton this", a reference to Clinton eventually coming clean over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
  • Stan's "Make a STANd" commercials are a likely reference to the series of "Find Your Greatness" Nike commercials, mainly because of the many different examples used and ease of getting a commercial.[1][2]
  • Stan appears on the The Charlie Rose Show.
  • The Scause factory sequence parodies the art and rhyming style of Dr. Seuss, specifically the book The Sneetches, though the scause factory is likely a reference to The Lorax.
  • The wife of the French-Swedish official reads a book entitled "30 Teintes de Pourpre", translating to "30 Shades of Purple" which references Fifty Shades of Grey.
    • The French-Swedish official changes the TV channel to a weather report discussing Hurricane Sandy.
  • Jesus shows support for imprisoned Russian punk-rock collective P**** Riot by wearing a T-shirt saying "Free P**** Riot". The sarcasm is that P**** Riot have been imprisoned after their concert in the Temple of Christ the Savior, accused of "offending the feelings of Christian believers".
  • Mr. Garrison teaches the class about Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, particularly referring to Jeff Conaway and Shifty Shellshock.
  • When Jesus takes HGH, "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky plays.
  • The lead French scientist is based on the character Mr. Tudball from "The Carol Burnett Show". The lead French scientist makes reference to this when he says to his wife "It's starting to feel like The Carol Burnett Show in here."
