Trivia

• Kyle Broflovski's email address is 69ingchipmunks@me.com.
• Throughout the episode, there are remarks that translate to mocking how few people read terms and conditions, mainly with Apple user agreements.
• According to this episode, Kyle weighs 83 lbs.

• The name of the man at the front of the HUMANCENTiPAD is revealed to be Junichi Takiyama who also featured in "City Sushi".
• This was chosen to be the episode shown in the South Park Documentary "6 Days to Air: The Making of 'South Park'".
• This is the first episode to feature the 2011 Comedy Central logo at the end, which would last all the way to "Splatty Tomato".

References to Popular Culture

• The episode's title and Kyle's part of the plot refer to Tom Six's The Human Centipede trilogy.
• Cartman's tantrum in the store over the iPad is a parody of a scene in the movie Dog Day Afternoon, in which Al Pacino's character Sonny is negotiating with Detective Eugene Moretti over the hostages in the bank.
• Apple being able to track Kyle is a reference to the then-recent 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.
• Although The Council of Geniuses describe their interaction as a "Quickening" (in a nod to the Highlander series), their activity parodies the Ceremony of the Sun from Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal".
• Gerald's Apple conversion ceremony is a reference to the Star Trek episode "Amok Time".
• 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", 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.
• Gerald's statement "I've even been to me" during his closing monologue is a reference to the 1977 Charlene one-hit wonder "I've Never Been to Me".

Continuity

• Liane now seems almost entirely unable to fall for Cartman's faking of being a good little kid. Cartman is now unable to make her buy him anything he wants and he seems to be trying even harder than he used to.
• As the series progressed, Liane had seemed to think more and more of Cartman trying to outsmart her.

Goofs

• When the boys are playing with the ball, the ball is heard to hit before it is actually shown as making contact.
