This page contains trivia for "My Future Self n' Me". Remember, trivia must be factual, provable, and it is always best to cite your source for not-so-obvious trivia. If you would like to dispute a trivia point, please discuss it in the talk page.


Trivia

  • One of the channels Sharon flips through is showing a Cheesy Poofs commercial.
  • Cartman had previously exacted revenge on the parents of Craig, Clyde and Kyle.
  • Cartman's more extreme revenge package ("We'll lure your parents out of the house, and then we'll kill them. Uh, we'll cut them up into little pieces and feed them to the dog") is very similar to his final revenge on Scott Tenorman in "Scott Tenorman Must Die".
  • After Butters' parents find out what Butters did, instead of grounding him, they apologize for lying to him, which is surprising given that they have grounded him for doing almost nothing in the past.

References to Popular Culture

  • At one point, Stan briefly watches The Osbournes before his mother changes the channel on him, telling him that the show will make him "retarded". To poke fun at the frequent cursing in The Osbournes, random pieces of dialogue were censored, even if the family wasn't actually swearing at the time.
  • The 1980's Situation comedy Silver Spoons theme is a parodied with the My Future Self n' Me (song).

Goofs

  • Stephen is once again wrongly referred to as 'Chris' in this episode.
  • Kevin Stoley's parents are called the Brooks by the Motivation people. Also, they do not have the narrow eyes that most Asians in South Park have - in "Conjoined Fetus Lady" it is mentioned that Kevin's parents are Chinese.
  • The promotional image of Stan's 'future self' did not use the finalized model that was seen in the episode. In the episode, Stan's future-self is considerably more over-weight, with long messy brown hair, and heavily lidded eyes.
  • Theoretically, if Cartman became a mechanic, he would never have actually had the chance to go back in time and tell himself about his future as a time travel CEO, because he didn't invent it. This is a form of 'grandfather paradox,' in which it is impossible for one to change the past because it would alter one's present.

Hidden Visitor

  • Under Butters' window when they're painting the house with feces.

Censorship

  • Randy cutting off future Stan's hand is cut in some later re-airings.
