Wendy is shown as student council president again after Cartman had taken the job in "Dances with Smurfs" suggesting he had dropped out before this episode.
Butters and Charlotte are seen talking on Skype, as she had previously promised to do at the end of "Where My Country Gone?".
Randy pulls down his pants to show off his "PC" brand, which he received from PC Principal in "Stunning and Brave".
In "The City Part of Town", when the inspector is checking South Park Elementary to see if their town is worthy of a Whole Foods Market, Mayor McDaniels states to the inspector that Craig is a homosexual.
Craig is also playing the Xbox that he had received in the Black Friday trilogy.
This is the first episode to focus on Tweek since "Child Abduction is Not Funny".

It is shown that Mayor McDaniels is a widow as she is seen looking at a picture of her husband and later seen mourning at his grave.
Cartman says, "I'm pretty sure Craig has seen my wiener." It is a possible reference to "T.M.I."

Goofs[]

Xi Jinping's secretary speaks to him in Korean. She should probably have been speaking Chinese, which is Xi's native language.
- Randy refers to him as "Mr. Jinping", which is wrong due to the fact that "Jinping" is his given name; Chinese surnames are always mentioned first. The correct form of address would be "Mr. Xi". However, this mistake may be due to Randy's obvious limited knowledge towards Asian culture.
The Chinese flag in Xi Jinping's office has its stars colored white instead of yellow. This error would appear again at his office in "Band in China".
When Craig and Tweek stage their break up, Leslie Meyers is seen with brown hair.
When Craig and Tweek are playing Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, Craig is using a Xbox 360 controller, instead of the required Xbox One controller.
When Craig visits Tweek in his room after their staged break up, the door was closed despite Mr. Tweak asking Craig to keep it open. Either Craig ignored his request or the animators forgot to animate it as open.
