Trivia[]

Tom Green is Canadian, but does not have a floppy head or beady eyes when he appears with Kenny on the Howard Stern show.
Kenny is the second of the gang to be sent to jail after Cartman threw a rock at Tolkien. Kenny is sent in for prostitution.
Stephen Stotch can be seen in the crowd when Kenny eats dog poo on Jesus and Pals. He is wearing a red sweater instead of his usual shirt and tie. He is later present for the Krazy Kenny Show.
In this episode, a small amount of a more "3D" style is used, first when Kenny is seen rotating on the podium at Jesus and Pals, then when the Krazy Kenny set rotates to reveal his grandpa ready for a full body massage.
When Kenny eats the manatee's spleen, his mouth can be seen quite clearly. He is also audibly heard grunting without his muffled voice.
The accompanying music used in Chef's prostitution song would later be used in "The Simpsons Already Did It".
At the end there is a kid that resembles one of the original four boys from "Jesus vs. Frosty".
This is the last episode to feature Jesus's TV show Jesus and Pals.
In the episode "Cow Days", the boys were familiar with what a prostitute was, but not in this episode.
In his brief speaking role in this episode, Tolkien speaks in a rather raspy voice akin to Clyde. This is likely an animation error.
A segment of the episode features students at the University of Colorado. The architecture of the buildings and the distinct mountain range suggests that it is the University of Colorado at Boulder, alma mater of Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
This is another of one of the very rare moments where Kenny manages to avoid an impending death. Though in this case, someone else dies in his place.

References to Popular Culture[]

The lyrics Cartman is singing just before his intervention is "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" by Lou Rawls which is also a song Tolkien sings in the episode "Wing".
Inside the radio studio, there is a poster of musician Elton John on the wall.
"The Prostitute Song" is a parody of the James Taylor single, "Your Smiling Face".
The radio station features controversial figures, Howard Stern, Tom Green, and Johnny Knoxville:
- Howard Stern is a shock jock and the host of The Howard Stern Show which has been controversial due to remarks made by Stern as well as topics featured on the show.

- Johnny Knoxville is an actor who was one of the creators and stars of the MTV show, Jackass, which often featured Knoxville and others performing dangerous pranks and stunts.
In the creator's commentary, Trey and Matt mention that the B-plot featuring Kenny doing crazy acts was inspired by MTV shows Jackass and The Tom Green Show, which were very popular during the original airing of the episode.
Butters gives Kenny an R. Kelly thermos, referring to the singer. He would be featured later in "Trapped in the Closet", where he performs one of his songs.
When Cartman says "Eh, shut up, you half-Chad!" this is a reference to the 2000 Presidential Election in the United States where Democratic Presidential Candidate Al Gore expressed concerned that punch ballots in the State of Florida were set in a way that they did not completely break-off When a candidate was selected thus causing a piece of the punchout ballot to become a hanging chad.

Continuity[]

The Antonio Banderas blow up love doll from "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" appears in the studio behind Howard Stern.
The pedophile who first dated Cartman in "Cartman Joins NAMBLA" is seen in the Krazy Kenny Show studio, but without his mustache.
When Cartman says to another kid that when he was in prison, he would sneak things into prison by hiding it up his ass, this is a reference to the episode "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000".
Chef says that the boys are always asking him difficult questions he does not want to answer, such as where the clitoris is and what lesbians are.
A poster of Elton John can be seen on the wall at the radio station. He was last seen in "Chef Aid", though stock footage of him from the former episode was briefly shown in "Timmy 2000".
A poster of Fred Savage can also be seen on the wall at the radio station. He was last seen in "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls".

Goofs[]

When Chef is explaining what prostitutes are, Kyle's mouth is slanted. (This is later fixed in HD airings)
When the screen shifts to the audience in Jesus and Pals, a man in the front row can be seen with no pupils.
During the scene where James Taylor and Chef sing their song together, the boys are crowded by a group of other children with Annie Knitts being one of them. At the same time she can be seen by the doorway with Red and Francis.
The weight counselor named Rick has a faulty name tag, it says he is called Murry Smith, however that is disproved once the other weight counselor calls him Rick.
Ms. Crabtree said she was a "Tight virgin flower" after pushing Kenny's imposter out of her. But Chef did have sex with her in "Chef Aid" when he was trying to get money to hire Johnnie Cochran. She also implied she has had sex since she was sixteen after Kenny crawls inside of her.
Liane states that Cartman is the only fat child in his family, but in "Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!", all of his relatives are fat. This would be proven again later in "Cartmanland".
Stan is unsure of what a prostitute is, despite him knowing what a prostitute is in "Chickenpox".
In the promo for the event with Kenny crawling into Ms. Crabtree's uterus, a picture of Kenny inside her uterus can be seen, even though the event has not taken place yet.

Kenny's Death[]

Although, Kenny does not actually die in this episode, an impostor takes his place and gets crushed to death by the pressure while completing his stunt. As a result, Stan and Kyle respectively say "Oh my god! They killed Kenny! Sort of..." "Yeah, they kind of killed Kenny-'s look-alike. You bastards!"

Deleted Scenes and Script Differences[]

After Liane took Eric to Hopeful Hills, she was originally going to drive her car away right after he warned her not to touch him, thus leaving him alone with Counselor Rick. In the final episode, she remains in the same place until the end of the scene.
After Horace Sanders replies "right!" to counselor Rick, Cartman would roll his eyes after looking at him with the other campers, however in the final scene he can be seen blinking his eyes to shortly after doing so, but the scene cuts to Rick continuing his conversation with the campers.
After Fake Cartman asks for one of Stan's candy, Stan would actually offer him one onscreen. In the final scene, Stan just stands there looking at him.
Apparently the only obese parents among the campers' parents would be Horace's, considering the other parents at the end are not described as being obese in the official script.
Horace would have a bigger line at the end when he reveals to the campers' parents why they aren't losing weight, but it ended up with some parts getting cut off at the end.
