Trivia

• President Bush is seen again in "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce" and "The Snuke". Where various shows and the press portray him as an incompetent idiot, in South Park, he is actually fairly intelligent and the press are in fact the idiots.
  • However, in earlier episodes such as "A Ladder to Heaven", Bush is still portrayed as an idiot.
• While Bush is normally voiced by Trey Parker, Matt Stone does his voice in this episode.
• The scenes with Muhammad in Family Guy were censored by the South Park creators after Comedy Central alerted them they would censor it themselves anyway. Matt and Trey explained they'd rather censor it themselves than be censored by Comedy Central. Ironically, this issue is what caused "201" to be "lost" - Comedy Central censored it without telling Matt or Trey.
• Kyle and Cartman are the only regular characters to appear in this episode. While Stan and Kenny do not appear, they are briefly seen in the recap of the previous episode.
• Muhammad has already appeared uncensored in South Park in "Super Best Friends".
• During the fight between Cartman and Kyle a poster presenting "Cold Age: The Smackdown" (parody of "Ice Age: The Meltdown") is shown in the background.
• The Family Guy fan who gives Kyle a lift pokes fun at the recurring 'I learned something today' plot device where the show delivers a moral message.
• The second part of "Cartoon Wars" (Cartoon Wars Part II) was made so Matt and Trey had another week to try and convince Comedy Central to let them show Muhammad, but, as it turned out, they were unsuccessful and Muhammad was not shown.
• Despite many celebrities being featured and mocked on the show previously, Family Guy creator Seth Macfarlane does not appear in this episode. However, Mitchell (who works in the Family Guy studio and introduces Cartman to the "writing staff") does somewhat resemble him in some way
• Before Cartman and Kyle's Final Fight, Cartman says. "I guess it was Inevitible" Is a Refrence to Agent Smith from The Matrix Trilogy

References

• The second Family Guy hater who went to appeal to FOX Studios was a South Park version of Bart Simpson.
• The message appearing when Peter receives the helmet from Muhammad is a parody of ones which appear over censored scenes in the syndicated version of South Park.
• The use of a Terrance & Phillip's episode instead of the actual sequel to the episode is a reference to "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus" episode that was placed as a joke instead of the sequel to "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut". This joke would be used again in "Eat, Pray, Queef", except Terrence and Phillip is being replaced instead of replacing the second part of a two-parter.
• The President of FOX's final episode-pulling confirmation sequence, "Zero Zero Destruct", is taken from Star Trek III, where the final confirmation code for the auto-destruct sequence on Enterprise was "Zero Zero Zero Destruct".

Goofs

• A poster for Family Guy says that it airs on Mondays. It actually airs on Sundays.
• Family guy isn't taken off the air, and is still being written, but Cartman never puts the ball back in the tank.
