Trivia

• One of the articles in the newspaper Mr. Stotch is reading states "Towelie Ban Lifted". This is a reference to the comment Towelie made in the episode "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants".
• Although Mr. Stotch demonstrates obvious homosexual behavior in this episode, having had several sexual encounters, he is horrified by the possibility that Butters might be bi-curious in the later episode, "Cartman Sucks". However at the end of that episode, he admits to being a little bi-curious as well, implying that he has not fully gotten over his time of man-on-man sex.
• While in the bath house, looking behind doors for his father, Butters hears Mr. Garrison, albiet it is unclear that he recognizes him.
• Butters' Very Own Episode is one of very few to not start with the South Park Theme Song.
• Even thought the episode blames John and Patricia Ramesy for the murder of their daughter, in 2008 they were cleared as suspects in the case.
• This is the first appearance of Mr. Slave, although we see only part of his body. After Butters leaves the sauna where Mr. Garrison is, he opens a room with two guys, one of which is Mr. Slave, quite recognizable by his characteristic voice.
• Kyle has no spoken lines.
• During Mr. Stotch's confession, he goes of on a tangent which involves yelling "murderer" and "liar" while the camera pans over O.J. Simpson, the Ramseys, and Senator Condit. A similar gag was employed during Jimmy's lesson speech at the end of "Up The Down Steroid".

• The events of the episode parallel the well-publicized case of Susan Smith.
• The old man that tells Butters how to walk back to South Park is based on Jud Crandall from Pet Sematary.

• When Butters stops walking on the creepy road, three laser dots appear on his forehead forming a triangle. This is a reference to Predator, but the creature seen in the woods looked to be Alien.
