Trivia

• Cartman accidentally tells Butters that he and his cousin touched wieners. His cousins have already been seen in "Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!" and "Cartmanland". Although Cartman does not say which of his cousins, it is very likely that he was referring to Elvin.
• Stan Marsh and Kenny McCormick do not speak in this episode, but both can be seen in a few shots.
• Ronald, the clerk who appears at the beginning of the episode, appeared in the crowd to take pictures of Britney Spears in "Britney's New Look ".
• 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.

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 pedophiles 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

• Immediately after the scene in which Kyle admonishes Cartman for exploiting Tourette's, he is seen smiling about Cartman's nomination during the ceremony at Whistlin' Willy's.

• 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".
