Trivia
- This is the very first episode to be animated with Maya rather than Power Animator, and Maya has remained as the show's animation studio since. This is also the first episode to be filmed with a digital camera, which has remained as the show's filming device.
- When this episode aired, The Lion King musical was playing in Los Angeles only. The production toured the rest of the United States in 2002 and 2003.
- The word shit has evolved from the word scite, scat, and shiza in England sometime in the 14th century.
- When Chef and the boys enter the casino, Big Gay Al can be seen as a blackjack dealer.
- Throwing up your organs is not a symptom of the Black Death.
- Occurrences of the word "shit" that not spoken, but rather written, are not counted on the counter. There are 38 visual occurrences of the word, thereby putting the count up to an even 200 "shits".
- The first airing of this episode jokingly censored the sounds of things like gunshots and people falling out of windows. For subsequent airings, the sound effects were re-inserted.
- This episode has two scenes that break the fourth wall. The first with Mr. Garrison explaining to the kindergartners why he can say "fag". He says, "On television they usually don't allow 'fag.' But because I'm gay, it's alright." The second scene is at the bar when Mr. Garrison explains to the guys that you can't say "fag" unless you're gay. When Randy and the others say it, they're aware of being censored (except for Jimbo, who is implied to be a closet gay). The concept seems to be dropped in "The F Word" as everyone can say "fag" without being bleeped due to the definition having changed.
- Despite the fact that Jimbo, Mr. Garrison, and Big Gay Al can get away with the word "fag", prior to this episode, other characters have managed to say the word without the word getting beeped such as Cartman, Kyle, Grandpa Marsh, and possibly Kenny (though Kenny is often used to get words past the censors, so this may be justified).
- The word "shit" is said 162 times in this episode and is listed as one of the "ten South Parks that changed the world" at number 8[1].
- During the TV Special Must Shit TV the woman actor first seen is fat, or "big-boned" as Cartman would say, and ironically sounds exactly like Cartman as well.
- This episode's counter is often referred to as the "Shit-o-Meter".
- The dragon's characteristic sound effects are actually the sounds made by the Spider Mastermind enemy from the Doom game series.
- When the dragon dies, it yells out "Dude, lame" in Cartman's voice, and Cartman reacts by saying "What a stupid voice".
- The word "shit" was not approved by Comedy Central until the Season Fifteen episode Royal Pudding.
- This isn't the first time where "shit" is uncensored in an episode. The first time where it was actually uncensored was in the initial airing of season two's "Ike's Wee Wee" by error.
- Comedy Central first refused to air this episode, as Stone and Parker came up with the idea to use the word "shit" so much in this episode that it becomes meaningless. Surprisingly, executives agreed that the use of the word had become justified and allowed the episode to run.
- This episode marks the first time Timmy swears, and due to his limited vocabulary, the only time.
