Trivia

• In the commentary of the episode, Matt Stone states that he hates Stevie Nicks, hence comparing her to a goat.
• General Plymkin, from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut makes an appearance here as the commander of the American Forces in Afghanistan.
• The episode's first title was "Osama bin Laden Has a Really Really Small Penis", a statement which is addressed during the Bugs Bunny-like chase scene where it takes 12 magnifying glasses to make it visible.
• 4th Wall Break: While debating on whether to rescue the boys, one of the Afghan Boys say that rescuing Americans makes no sense. One of the others says "We're speaking English right now! Does that make sense?"

• This is the first episode to air after the events of 9/11.

References to Popular Culture

• The song performed by Fleetwood Mac and the goat at the end of the episode is a parody of the 1981 Stevie Nicks song "Edge of Seventeen".
• Cartman parodies the Bugs Bunny cartoons with signs depicting two pictures which, when saying the two words together, forms a humorous word or phrase describing the antagonist. In the episode, Bin Laden takes the place of Elmer Fudd. Cartman's signs describe Bin Laden as "screwball," "shithead," "jackass," "cocksucker," and "Barbra Streisand." The first one of these is the only one of true Looney Tunes vintage, the rest come from his string of curses at the end of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
• The scenes with Cartman and Osama also spoof various other Warner Bros. and Disney cartoons during World War II, wherein the characters interact with animated versions of Nazis as to mock them. Osama's last line, "Terrorists is the CRAZIEST peoplez", references a Warner Bros. short called "Russian Rhapsody" where Hitler says, "Nazis is the CRAZIEST people's".
• Cartman calls the Afghanis Jawas, a reference to the Star Wars series.
• Osama says "Derka Derka", "Jihad" and "Mulla Mulla" like the Arabs in Team America: World Police, which was also made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
• Stan having a pet goat that his parents refuse to let him keep is likely a reference to the plot of the children's story, The Pet Goat, which gained notoriety for being read by George W. Bush to a kindergarten class, while the attacks on the twin towers unfolded.
• The ending scene in which Stan kneels down and erects the small American flag may be an homage to George W. Bush's campaign commercials preceding the 2000 elections.

Goofs

• After Sharon sees the hostage video with Stan in it, Randy just appears in the kitchen door, rather than walking in.
• When the boys are held captive by Osama, they are ordered from left to right on chairs Kenny, Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and the goat. However, later in the recording being watched from Stan's House, they are ordered Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and the goat.
