I removed the re-direct because there should be an episode here, there are links pointing here for the episode and it might encourage someone to write it. Alf 22:37, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

Written! Now, If only we could merge this page with Chocolate Salty Balls... Taiichi 2 05:00, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if it should be merged. The full recipe would be out of place in the article about the episode, and is probably worth including in wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.136.188.172 (talk • contribs) 10:06, 4 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Sign your name! Use 3 ~ after a statement Mike 11:40, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also concur with not merging: the episode is distinct. This merge would be on par with merging Kyle Broflovski into Jewbilee; Mr. Hankey into his episodes; Chef into Chef Aid; etc. etc. Definitely a no... Cburnett 21:48, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. KillerChihuahua^?!? 03:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. This is practically a "more info" page from the chocolate salty baslls article. - 71.103.120.162 22:04, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge: They are two different subjects. One is a song, the other; and episode. Don't other songs have their own pages? - Crazy Eddy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.199.148.8 (talk • contribs) 02:06, 17 April 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Oppose merge: Eddy is right but they are not a song, its a product. Oh, and why do we have Brokeback mountain below? - TBL2020 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tbl2020 (talk • contribs) 14:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Oppose merge: Makes no sense. It is additional info, and since it is referenced in other sources besides the episode, it would remain seperate -dkkicks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.235.245.192 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 14 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Oppose merge: Eddy is right. One page is about an episode, and the other is about a song and recipe -vlcmkd —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.251.150.167 (talk • contribs) 01:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

First of all, if we are to merge, then "Chocolate Salty Balls" should be merged into "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls", not the other way around. That's bad grammar and could be easily mistaken. And second, if this is a real issue, why doesn't the Chocolate Salty Balls page have one of those merge things at the top? --Yancyfry jr 03:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Redford

As revealed in the opening segment on the Season 2 DVD, this episode was an act of revenge for Robert Redford not accepting Parker and Stone's student film Cannibal! The Musical, as Redford is buried in feces by the episode's end.

What does Robert Redford have to do with Cannibal!? --Abdull 18:24, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He runs the Sundance Film Festival. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.252.203.21 (talk • contribs) 09:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Scuba-Diving Mr. Garrison

What was Garrison doing in the sewer in the scuba getup? What was he doing that merited the boys filing a police report? I guess I missed the joke. MosKillinest 05:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced claims

Cite please;

Mr Hankey's rampage, at the end of the episode, is a reference to Walt Disney's work, Fantasia.
Mr Hankey's last words to Kyle state "there is another Skywalker" a reference to Yoda's death in Return of the Jedi. Also the construction of the restaurant resembles the semi completed second Death Star in the same film.
Mr Hankey's close to death period in the hospital is a reference to Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
When Mr. Hankey dies from being dried out from the sun, the Mr. Hankey song is played at a slow pace. This is a reference to the Frosty the Snowman special. The Frosty the Snowman song is played at a slow pace when Frosty melts away.
The line in which Cartman says all independent films are about gay cowboys eating pudding pre-dated Brokeback Mountain by at least seven years. However the short story it was based on was first published on October 13, 1997, before this episode was. Trey Parker even quipped that "Well, if there's any pudding-eating in it, maybe we'll sue!" at the film's release in 2005.
This episode criticizes both Godzilla and Independence Day, both movies directed by Roland Emmerich.
When in the sewer, Cartman says "This is ridiculous! What the hell are we, the Goonies?", referencing the film The Goonies. The kids tell Cartman to be "the fat kid" from The Goonies, a reference to the character Chunk.
The scene in which Redford grabs Mr. Hankey and hurls him against a wall while uttering, "I... have had... enough... of you!" is a reference to the line William Shatner spoke as Admiral Kirk killed the Klingon commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
While Kyle is on the toilet he sings "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash.
The scene in which the boys find Mr. Garrison in the sewers wearing a diving suit and asking if they know how to file a police report is a reference to the film Amsterdamned in which a killer in a diving suit hides in the sewers.
This episode was intended as a subtle criticism of the Sundance Film Festival. The Sundance Institute intends to convey the image of the festival being an antidote to the competitive, hard-nosed, commercialised nature of Hollywood [1]. However, Parker and Stone constructed the episode to show Hollywood professionals aggressively pursuing high-finance business deals, so as to give the impression that the festival is everything it seeks not to be. Parker and Stone frequently use South Park episodes to express disillusionment with Hollywood, another example being their take on George Clooney's acceptance speech in the Smug Alert episode.

I hope with the benefit of 3 years' hindsight you see how ridiculous your rampage through the South Park articles and demands for citations really was.

The reference to Fantasia is obvious.
"There is another Skywalker" being a reference to Yoda's death is equally obvious.
The statement that the film predates Brokeback Mountain by seven years is equally obvious - though I agree that Parker's joke should be referenced.

and so on. Demanding that people provide citations for the painfully obvious is... odd.80.203.30.43 (talk) 19:15, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
