Trivia

• This episode marks the debut of both the Raisins girls and the Goth Kids.
• Cartman appears not to know how to play football, even though he played it and knew perfectly well how to play it in "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride".
• Stan and Wendy appear to still have feelings for each other in the Season Nine episode "Follow That Egg!".
• All of the girl waiters have names of automobile companies (Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, Ferrari).
• This is the first time Butters mistakes a girl's attention as signs for a deep romantic relationship. After Lexus, Butters has similar naive experiences with Paris Hilton, in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" and again with his "prostitutes" during his time as a pimp in "Butters' Bottom Bitch".

References to Popular Culture

• When Stan joins the Goth Kids, he wears a T-shirt with Edgar Allen Poe's face on it with the word "nevermore" above. His goth name is also Raven, a reference to one of Poe's poems.
• When Stan is looking over the bridge and into the water, it is a reference to Charlie Brown.
• The scene in which Stan holds the boom box playing "Shock the Monkey" is a reference to the 1989 film Say Anything... In the actual film, the song used was "In Your Eyes," another Peter Gabriel song.

• Henrietta mentions missing out on the Skinny Puppy concert,  referring to the Canadian Industrial rock band.
• In Henrietta's room, there are posters for "Skippy Puppy", which is a parody of Skinny Puppy's EP, Remission and "Blauhouse", a parody of the goth band, Bauhouse and their compilation album, Bauhaus 1979–1983.
• The Raisins soundtrack includes "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" by Cinderella, "All Out of Love"by Air Supply, "YMCA" by The Village People, "Shock the Monkey" by Peter Gabriel and James Brown's "Living in America".

Continuity

• When Stan leaves the goth kids he uses Cartman's old catchphrase, "Screw you guys, I'm going home!". He has used this phrase before in "Are You There God? It's Me, Jesus".
• This is Bebe Stevens' only major appearance in this season.

Goofs

• Outside gym class, Kenny can be seen hood up and gloves on, but his parka's sleeves are missing.
• When Butters gets dumped, Jason can be seen talking in the background. However, he is at a table on his own, so he would have been talking to nobody.
• In the shot at the start, there is a duplicate of Millie.
• In the scene where Butters talks to Lexus on the phone, when the outside of the building is shown, it is daytime, but during the scenes of Butters talking on the phone, it is nighttime.
• Butters should have heard disconnect tone go off when Lexus hung up as soon as he confesses his feelings for her.
