Trivia

• The Canadian Minister of Movies from South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut reappears, now called the "Canadian Minister of Streaming".
• Netflix offering to green-light The Terrance and Phillip Show with an aging Terrance and Phillip is a reference to Netflix reviving and rebooting classic shows.
• A promotional image for the episode shows PC Principal looking at himself in the bathroom mirror. This is most likely a cut scene taking place right after PC Principal leaves the Teacher's Lounge stating he has to go to the bathroom.
  • Oddly enough, this scene does not appear as a deleted scene on the Complete Twenty-First Season DVD & Blu-ray release.
• The HR representative, Heather Conduct or Ms. Conduct, is a pun on the word "Misconduct".
• This episode satirizes shifting attitudes about workplace dating and harassment. In the aftermath of the #MeToo movement, where prominent men such as Bill Cosby and mogul Harvey Weinstein were accused of sexual harassment, particularly intimidating employees for sex, there was public commentary against workplace relationships, especially between bosses and employees, to avoid such situations. PC Principal's status as Strong Woman's boss and co-worker would make such a relationship highly inappropriate under these guidelines.
  • PC Principal's dilemma about holding the door open for Strong Woman is a reference to certain feminists who suggest that holding the door for a woman can be viewed as demeaning and sexist.
• Kyle's newfound opposition to the Terrance and Phillip Show, leading and organizing for its removal from Netflix and citing that it victimizes innocent people, is intended to satirize the shifting association between young people, political correctness and protesting to remove offensive content in media. The episode contrasts them with similar organizations lead by religious 'moral guardians' in the nineties, as then represented by Sheila Broflovski.
  • Ironically, despite being mentioned several times, Sheila does not appear in this episode.
• In Strong Woman's office, there is a master's degree from University of Colorado behind her desk. Both Trey Parker and Matt Stone are alumni of University of Colorado at Boulder.
• The code President Garrison enters to launch the missile is 66752.
• Terrance and Phillip age abnormally, considering that when they last appeared in Season Eighteen episode "Freemium Isn't Free" (only 3 years ago), they were both still young and active. This seems even stranger due to the fact that:
  • Most South Park characters do not age, save for advancing a year during Season Four when the children moved up to the fourth grade.
  • Even if some characters do seem to age (Randy Marsh, or celebrities like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton), they seem to age chronologically in line with reality, but not any faster.
• When Ms. Conduct asks if any of the school faculty have ever had feelings for a co-worker, Strong Woman is the only character to raise her hand, however such relationships appeared in multiple previous episodes:
  • Richard Adler had a romantic relationship with Pearl, the home ec teacher, in "Tweek vs. Craig".
  • Mr. Mackey had previously exhibited an attraction to Principal Victoria in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub" and notably had a sexual relationship with Diane Choksondik.
  • In addition, though they are not present, Jerome "Chef" McElroy had casual sex with Veronica Crabtree in "Chef Aid" and Principal Victoria in "It Hits the Fan", while Herbert Garrison suggested an attraction to the latter, Chef, Mackey, and was rehired alongside his assistant Mr. Slave, with whom he also had an obvious sexual and romantic relationship.
• Kyle is the only member of Millenials Against Canada who is not a millenial, as this episode aired in 2017 and Kyle is 10 years old, that would make him a zoomer at the time.

References to Popular Culture

• The song that PC Principal keeps hearing is "Hold My Hand" by Hootie And The Blowfish.
• The song that plays when Kyle looks at himself in the mirror after cutting his hair and changing his shirt is a parody of "Man in the Mirror " by Michael Jackson.
• The gingle in the beginning of Terrance and Phillip's Show is a reference to "The Itchy & Scratchy Show" from "The Simpsons".

Continuity

• Several elements of Kyle's subplot reference the events of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
  • Kyle's group, MAC (Millennials Against Canada) resembles MAC (Mothers Against Canada) and wears the same white T-shirt with the crossed out Canadian Maple Leaf.
  • The Canadian Minister of Streaming complains about Kyle acting like his mother and demands that he should be allowed to finish speaking while interrupting Kyle during the debate.
  • Terrance and Phillip are taken hostage while filming a show by MAC.
  • Kyle complains about what Terrance and Phillip's fart jokes are doing to the minds of young children.
  • A discussion between Canadian and U.S. government officials about how Terrance and Phillip accounts for a large percentage of Canada's economy.
  • A declaration of war between Canada and the USA.
• Clips of Terrance and Phillip from "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow", "Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!", and "Eat, Pray, Queef" can be seen on Kyle's phone, alongside some newly animated clips.
• Tweek's fear of President Garrison going to war with another country was previously discussed in "Put It Down".
• PC Principal yelling at Butters to stop whispering during the assembly is a nod to a running gag in Season Nineteen where he did the same thing to Leslie Meyers.
  • It may also be a nod to the Season Twenty episode "Douche and a Danish" where he yelled at Butters to stop flashing his penis.

Goofs

• In the beginning, Tweek tells Stan that Cartman and Heidi are fighting again in Scott Malkinson's voice.
• When Kyle interrupts the shooting of The Terrance and Phillip Show, his mouth begins moving a little bit before he actually starts talking.
  • This was fixed in the uncensored version of the episode.
• It is unknown why Kyle hates The Terrance and Phillip Show in this episode since he is shown to be loving the show.
  • Though to be fair, it could be that his opinion on the show has changed, meaning he does not like the show anymore, since he finds the titular characters farting on each other to be immature which explains why he grew out of that show.
• While Kyle tries to stop Cartman and Heidi stop fighting, some of the kids' mouths start moving while Wendy and Heidi talked.
