References to Popular Culture

• The episode's title, and part of the plot, refers to Tom Six's The Human Centipede trilogy.
• When Cartman has a tantrum in the store over the iPad, he quotes Al Pacino as Sonny in the movie Dog Day Afternoon when he is negotiating with Detective Eugene Moretti over the hostages in the bank.
• How Apple was able to track Kyle is a reference to the discovery that certain Apple products would record the location of the user at regular intervals.
• The "Toshiba HandiBook" is likely a parody of the Toshiba Thrive.
• Cartman appeared on Dr. Phil to discuss his mother screwing him over, or "fucking" him.
• The Council of Geniuses getting together to perform the "quickening" is a nod to the Highlander movies and TV show.
• The Vulcan surface from the Star Trek episode "Amok Time" is used by the Geniuses to convert Gerald to Apple.
• The scene where Cartman had a tantrum inside Best Buy followed by him crying in the car seem to have inspired a subculture on GoAnimate known as "Grounded Videos"[1], where a character on a children's show (such as Caillou, Little Bill, Arthur or Dora the Explorer) would act similarly to the scene in an uploaded video.
