Trivia

• The kids are somehow able to get numerous adults by simply claiming they were molested. In real life, this would usually be unrealistic, as sex abuse criminal cases too often also involve the investigation of evidence and not just an accuser's claims. A thorough investigation of molestation claims would include determining the credibility of an accuser's claim, interviewing witnesses and both the gathering and preservation of physical evidence, with "rape kits" becoming widespread in rape cases between the 1980s and 1990s. By the time the episode came out, sex crime investigations which presented a more realistic portrayal of how molestation and other rape cases are handled were also popularized on television on a regular basis through Law and Order SVU.
• This is the first appearance of Linda Stotch, Butters' mother. This episode also reveals that Stephen Stotch is Butters' father.
• Strangely, despite being a prominent adult character, Mr. Garrison does not appear in this episode.
• Stephen's tie is orange instead of white in this episode.
• The phrase "Llamen a todos junto" uttered by Fidel Castro means "Call everyone together".
• The "hot presentation" for mature audiences that's seen on TV behind Cartman is actually Terrance and Phillip.
• According to the DVD commentary, Trey Parker and Matt Stone originally planned on having Cartman plan on blocking out the sun. They changed this part of the plot after learning that Mr. Burns had already planned such a thing in the "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)" episode of The Simpsons. This was part of Parker and Stone's inspiration for the episode "The Simpsons Already Did It".
• In behind the scenes while Kyle performs the Democracy in Cuba song, Matt Stone was actually in tears.

References to Popular Culture

• Much of the episode draws on Children of the Corn, namely, the motive and the absence of the adults in a small country town. Except in this case, the children of South Park wanted to get rid of the adults for personal gain, rather than dedication to a pagan corn cult.
• When Stan speaks about how the children ended up alone, and presents their religious system, this is a parody of the feral children's ritual "tell" in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
• "The before time" and the Shatner-esque speech are references to the "Miri" episode of Star Trek.
• According to the audio commentary, this episode originally had Cartman trying to block the sun out of "Smiley Town". This was planned for the whole weekend of production before this episode was made. On that Monday, however, a writer revealed that The Simpsons 'already did it'. The show was eventually changed, but this event eventually inspired the plot for "The Simpsons Already Did It".
• The ritual known as "Carousel" is a reference to the 1976 film Logan's Run. In the movie, people who have reached the age of 30 are sacrificed in the ceremony of Carousel, which ostensibly holds the possibility of "renewal."
• Mark (the husband of the couple) calls Craig by the name Spaceman Spiff. This is a reference to Calvin and Hobbes, referring to one of Calvin's alter egos.
• In one of the cutaway scenes the whole South Park gang of kids are seen dancing to the tune of "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger.
• When Kyle slides across the hallway wearing his underwear and a pair of sunglasses, it is a reference to the same act by Tom Cruise in Risky Business.
• When Kyle writes a letter to Fidel Castro to persuade Cuba to adopt democracy, the song he sings sounds similar to "Blue Christmas" from the TV special The Year Without a Santa Claus.
• The retrieve the book sequence mimics a plot point from Army of Darkness.
• The fact that the children are split up into two different rivaling groups that have no adult authority may be a reference to Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
• In the prison rehabilitation class, the parents are made to stare at a cardboard cutout of Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver from the 1950's sitcom Leave It To Beaver.
• When Stuart and Carol are looking for Kenny, Billy Circlovich can be seen with his family who needed $600 for an operation in "The Tooth Fairy Tats 2000".
• The kindergarten girl creepily says "We wanna play with you", a line said in "Pet Sematary".
• Butters running a dilapidated petrol station is a call-out to numerous horror movies where lost people would ask for directions at run-down locations and be warned away from a dangerous place, only to head straight to it.
• Wendy's outfit bears a striking resemblance to Xena's outfit from Xena: Warrior Princess.
• Stan's outfit resembles Boba Fett's armor from Star Wars, except in red.

Goofs

• After Eric Cartman throws a rock through the window, it seems to be intact in the next shot.
• When Cartman tells Kyle about how he, Stan, and Kenny were staying at each other's houses, he uses "parent" in the plural. Liane Cartman is Eric's only parent.
• The two adults switch sides as they walk through the Memorial Park.
• When the man at the rehab center says "Oh. Fishing?", his mouth does not move for the word "oh."
• For a couple of scenes, the eyes on Kenny's corpse re-appear.
• A duplicate of Francis can be seen on Cartman's side. He also appears twice at the party.
• While Mark is having his speech, the clock on the statue switches from eight o'clock to 9:30 and later back to eight.
• When the adults return to their kids, one of the kids' mom is identical to Laura Tucker.
• While being arrested, Sheila claims that Kyle's grandmother has been dead for three years (i.e. died in 1997), but actually died in 1999 as revealed in "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery".
• Cartman is translated into one shot without a walking cycle, just after the "Old Time Rock n Roll" song.
• When Liane talks to Cartman at the end, her pants are colored navy instead of red.
• When Cartman tells the two adults about the M-word and threatens to report them to the police, Butters is already seated below the Elway statue, but right after the man replies "what?", Butters is shown being walked up to the statue and then sits down.

Kenny's Death

• Kenny is found dead at the John Elway statue along with two other kids. Instead of Stan's "Oh, my God! They killed Kenny!" the man says "They've killed him," and his wife simply says "The bastards." Kenny was sacrificed during Carousel. This is one of the few times Kenny dies off screen.
