Trivia

• Stan Marsh and Kenny McCormick do not speak in this episode, but both can be seen in a few shots.
• The explorer mascot for the Toy Safari store seen at the start of the episode looks very similar to the leader of the Super Adventure Club, the group who brain washed Chef into being a pedophile, which resulted in his near death in "The Return of Chef".
• Craig Tucker is jealous of Cartman and Thomas for having Tourette's because of fan speculation that he has Tourette's.
• When Cartman goes to tell Dateline he does not want to be on the show, there is a painting on the wall that resembles Van Gogh's Sunflowers.
• The pedophile at the beginning of the episode is one of Cartman's assistants in "Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy".
• At the toy store, an alien toy can be seen that is similar to that in "Spookyfish", but bigger.
• This is one of the few, if not the only, episodes where Cartman actually learns a lesson, even if Kyle did not mean for him to.
• This is one of only five episodes not to censor the word "shit" in broadcast before its total acceptation on Comedy Central. Others include "Ike's Wee Wee", "It's Christmas in Canada", "It Hits the Fan", and "Imaginationland, Episode III".
  • This episode was one of the first to have the word "fuck" uncensored, outside of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

References to Popular Culture

• The episode's title is a play on the title of Jean-Luc Godard's 1963 film Le Petit Soldat.
• When Cartman is in the toy store, there is a game called Wolf on one of the shelves. This is a reference to Okami; the box art is identical.
• Cartman sings the song "I've Got a Golden Ticket" from the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
• When waiting for an apology from Kyle, Bugs Bunny sounds effects are used for Cartman's blinking. This is one of the few occasional episodes in which cartoon sound effects are heard.
• Chris Hansen's To Catch a Predator is referenced several times in this episode.
• After discovering they were at a Chris Hansen show, the peadophiles shoot themselves. This satirizes a real event of Texas district attorney Louis Condrat committing suicide during a sting operation conducted by To Catch a Predator.

Goofs

• Cartman said that his grandmother had recently died then had a 'truth confession' that she was not dead, yet his maternal grandma died in "Cartmanland".
• After Cartman's words were confused, Trey Parker's natural scream was used instead of Cartman's scream.
