Trivia

• Cartman and Kenny do not have any spoken lines in this episode at all, and Stan and Kyle appear only in the first scene, with two lines each.
• This is Leslie Meyers' first speaking role.
• It is revealed that Principal Victoria was not actually fired, but replaced.
• Jimmy can tell an ad from a piece of news, by reading a very limited part, even if the part doesn't contain any information that implies.
• During PC Principal's speech at the frat house, he refers to Jimmy as an "Uncle Able", in reference to the derogatory epithet "Uncle Tom".
• When Randy tells Sharron that using "He" or "She" is an "agenderphobic microagression" and then calls her a bigot, this is due to the fact that there are more than two genders and it is offensive to call someone "He" or "She" if they do not identify with either of those pronouns. This has lead to a rise in use of gender neutral pronouns such as "Xe" and "Zir" being used on social media and in colleges.

References to Popular Culture

• Jimmy delivers a Super School News Paper on a Thomas & Friends ride-on-toy train, with Jimmy riding on Thomas the Tank Engine while Annie or Clarabel are one of Thomas' coaches being pulled by Thomas.
• Barbrady quotes "Come with me if you want to live", a widely known catchphrase from the Terminator films.
• Jimmy paraphrases Deckard from the film Blade Runner "Does she know she's a replicant?" with "Does she know she's an ad?"
• The scene in which Stephen explains how hard he finds reading internet news is inspired by the classic TV show The Twilight Zone.
• The conversations between Leslie and Jimmy mimic the movie Ex Machina.
• During Stephen's speech about reading news online, a page for BuzzFeed can be seen briefly below his feet.
• An ad for Ray-Ban sunglasses can be briefly seen during Stephen's speech.
• GEICO and State Farm are both real insurance companies.
• Nathan's quote to PC Principal "this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship" is a reference to the famous 1942 film Casablanca.

Continuity

• Herbert Garrison makes his first appearance since "Where My Country Gone?" His presidential campaign has continued and gained a lot of traction.
• This episode marks the first appearance of Principal Victoria in Season Nineteen.
• The name for the school newspaper is Super School News, the same name of the boys' news show in "Quest for Ratings".
• The front of the school newspaper with the caption "Homeless Brought Down and Out" shows a picture of the police arresting a homeless man in front of Whole Foods Market. This a reference to the ending of the previous episode, "Naughty Ninjas".

Bradley Biggle Sightings

In every episode of Season 19, Bradley Biggle can be spotted in the background, much like the Visitors were in previous Seasons.
