References to Popular Culture

• During the trial, Randy mentions that there are already "Gay People Renovating Houses", "Las Vegas People Renovating Houses", "Texas People Flipping Houses", and "Little People Flipping Big Houses", referring to actual TV shows:
  • Down To The Studs
  • Flip or Flop Vegas and Flipping Vegas
  • Fixer Upper
  • Little People, Big World
• Many of Randy's design concepts, such as an open concept kitchen with an island, quartz countertops, and subway tiles are frequently featured in the house flipping shows that are being parodied in this episode.
  • The dramatic moment with Daryl revealing that he has a load-bearing wall before Randy eventually tears it down also parodies a commonly featured dramatic scene of unexpectedly finding a load-bearing wall in many houses flipping shows.
• This episode satirizes how people are using virtual assistants in their homes such as Amazon Echo and Google Home.
• Jim Bob plays a country version of Kendrick Lamar's "Humble".
  • During the live-tweet for this episode, "Humble" was picked because it is one of Trey's daughter's favorite songs.

Continuity

• Cartman and Heidi are still together from The Damned.
• Most of the boys are seen hanging out at Cartman's house, showing that he is no longer isolated from them as shown throughout Season Twenty.

• Ike still Swears after the events of Not Funny and The End of Serialization as We Know It.
