[edit] Incorrect Information
The middle of the article states the following:
- At a lower elevation, some of the townspeople are organizing a search and rescue mission for the hunting party (yet unaware that the mountain is about to erupt) while other South Park residents dig a trench, under the guidance of the geologist, to divert the lava away from the town. As they do this, they are shown an education film called Lava and You, which assumes that if a person ducks and covers if threatened by lava, it would pass harmlessly over the would-be victim. Only Chef realises how ridiculous this is.
But they organize the search party after a news reporter on the scene tells them they're about to be engulfed by lava, resulting in an agonizing death of extreme pain, or something like that. I'm sure they're aware of the eruption. AznWarlord (talk) 03:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I see that the section refers to Jimbo and the boys, not the residents of South Park. AznWarlord (talk) 03:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
"When Uncle Jimbo sees the deer, he says, "looks like a .46-gauge," then he is seen with a rocket launcher. The shotgun gauge system works such that smaller numbers describe larger barrels, so a .46-gauge would actually be very small."
Ironically, this is a firearms nitpick that is incorrect. You don't use the decimal point when using the gauge system. It's "12 gauge," not ".12 gauge." The decimal point is only used to describe caliber in fractions of an inch (in other words, you don't use it with the metric system (9mm, not .9mm), either). I will edit. The article is otherwise correct (smaller number means bigger bore).
In every airing of this episode I've seen, Scuzzlebutt's leg is Patrick Duffy, but in "Flashbacks" it's Brett Munsenburger. I don't recall his leg ever being Tom Wopat. -User:SaraJaye, 19:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge to the main list?
Okay, sure this episode is one of the most ancient of all South Park episodes, but still, I question its notability. In the first place, it defies wikipedia's episode-article policies for plot, as the plot is what it is mostly contrived of. In the second place, what little else makes up the episode article is just plain trivia like pop-culture references and Kenny's death for that episode. I personally don't consider pop-culture references to be trivia, but when it's only one or two, that hardly qualifies as anything. I'm not saying "delete this whole article; it's just a useless waste of space", I'm saying "Until and unless this episode ever becomes notable enough to have an article, redirect this page to the main list of South Park episodes, and then include a brief summary of it there. If you like, also include the pop-culture references and Kenny's death there." That's what I'm saying. Please read this through carefully and considerately before replying. Thank you.

- Does this article pass the notability test? At first glance, no. Alastairward (talk) 15:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- There is an article for every south park episode, deleting this one and leaving the others there would be simply moronic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.44.101.164 (talk) 02:14, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Orange construction paper?
I'm finding both of the sentences about the lava hard to understand. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 06:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- From the South Park article: "The show's style of animation is inspired by the paper cut-out cartoons made by Terry Gilliam for Monty Python's Flying Circus, of which Parker and Stone have been lifelong fans. Construction paper and traditional stop motion cutout animation techniques were used in the original animated shorts and in the pilot episode". The paper thing is one of the show's most recognized features. Kakun (talk) 19:43, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
