• Cartman is playing Wild Wild West, which was released in theatres June 30, 1999 less than a month after this episode aired. The movie starred Will Smith and was based on the 1965 television series The Wild Wild West.
• Rumperstumpskin is holding "Selma Hayek" hostage and is threatening to kill her and the President. Selma Hayek played the role of Rita Escobar the female lead in the film. The plot to the Wild Wild West filmed involved the main villain kidnapping Escobar and the President.
• Artimus Cylde Frog wants to play "Slip 'n' Slide" in Selma Hayek's pants. Clearly he is not talking about the Slip 'n' Slide a children's toy that involves slipping down a wet sheet of plastic. No, he's talking about a sexual act involving two men and one anus (the gender belonging to that anus is a matter of your preference), guy number one performs anal sex until ejaculation and guy number two then has anal sex after, using guy number ones semen as lube.
• Cartman is playing the role of Captain James West, the hero of the film Wild Wild West played by Will Smith.
• Cartman "saves the day" by stopping a giant mechanical spider then he begins singing a very bastardized version of the song Wild Wild West which was written and performed by Will Smith. It was featured on the Wild Wild West soundtrack. The main villain in Wild Wild West tries to complete his mad scheme of taking over the United States with a giant mechanical spider.
• Cartman hesitantly gives his mother an Eskimo kiss a form of expression between Inuit, usually family, involving rubbing noses.
• Cartman likens Shelly's abuses like "those nanny videos on TV", this is in reference to Dateline NBC who at the time of these episode aired was doing a series of episodes focusing on nanny abuse.
• Cartman was watching the 1986 film Aliens, the scene was identical to a similar scene (and the line "They mostly come out at night... Mostly") was directly from the movie. The scene involves Newt (Carrie Henn) telling Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) about the alien creatures that live on the planet. He uses that line many times in many different ways, such as to describe a meteor shower.
• Shelly changes the channel to Friends a sit-com that ran from 1994-2004. It was about a group of friends who lived in Manhattan together.
• The Wild Animal Program that Cartman watches is a parody of the Wild Kingdom a nature series that ran from 1963 to 1988.
• Shelly gets even more inventive with her turd insults throughout the episode:
  • "Turdman of Alcatraz", which is a parody of the Birdman of Alcatraz, who was Robert Franklin Stroud, a prisoner who kept birds as a hobby while in prison.
  • Astroturd is a play on Astroturf which is an artificial surface made to resemble grass, commonly used in Baseball fields and other sporting events. It was invented in 1965 by Donald L. Elbert, James M. Faria, and Robert T. Wright, employees of Monsanto Company.

• When Cartman snaps a photo of Shelly kissing Skyler he shouts "Ha ha, charade you are! Looks like you're the turd now!"
