Talk:Free Hat

Untitled

I think tweek had an RPG, and not a Bazooka!

Hat McCullough is called a "serial murderer," when actually the correct terminology would be mass murderer; I say this because in the episode one of the protesters says that Hat was acting in self-defense, which leads me to believe he killed all of them at once, hence a mass murderer. Maybe this could just be considered an incongruity, because without that comment one would probably assume he killed the babies separately. Another answer could be that it just sounds funnier to say "serial murderer" rather than "mass murderer", and odds are not too many people noticed.

The guy meant that he killed all those babies individually in self defence, not that he killed them all at once in self defence. He's a serial killer, or what the guy in the audience would call a serial self-defender. 136.160.152.99 (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

No he didn't, they refer to a gang of babies who supposedly "malliciously and unprovoked" attacked hat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.132.241.201 (talk) 02:17, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Redirect

I have redirected this episode because it was comprised mainly of plot, and had little to no outside information on the episode. The workers who sculpted the article's efforts were not in vain, though. The episode's contents now exist identically in South Park Wiki. Just so you know.

BASEketball

The 'ref' to BASEketball seems a bit of a strech. Lots42 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Free Hat - West Memphis 3

Isn't this some kind of ploy directed to the Free the West Memphis 3?138.192.78.134 (talk) 06:11, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Uncited material

Cite please;

• Spielberg, Lucas, and Coppola parody the three main villains in Raiders of the Lost Ark in their manner of deaths. Coppola's head shrivels up like Colonel Dietrich's, Lucas' head melts down to a bloody skull like Arnold Toht’s, and Spielberg's head explodes like Rene Belloq's.
• Most of the last six or so minutes of the episode parodies Raiders of the Lost Ark, with many lines being taken almost directly from the movie (a few choice words are replaced).
• When Lucas refuses to give the boys the negative, he says "It is too late for me." This is a parody of Darth Vader's words to Luke in Return of the Jedi.
• A fake advertisement starring Trey Parker and Matt Stone is included in the middle of the episode, where they advertise a digitally remastered version of Cartman Gets an Anal Probe.

Do we really have to cite the obvious? - Redmess (talk) 17:17, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Alastairward (talk) 23:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Then you have to cite every sentence in the whole synopsis as well, as the advertisement is part of it. -- 82.113.121.20 (talk) 10:18, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I meant to label the advert as trivia, or at least as a plot point that was simply reiterated. Alastairward (talk) 15:54, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Alastairward, you're out of your fucking mind. As far as I'm concerned you've vandalized this page. This is one vote for restoring all the trivia and defeating the evil bureaucratic overlord Alastairtard.

I'm with you, but so does seem to be everyone else. Also, i don't think anybody but a few people does want the cultural references integrated with the plot, cause the plot i sjust an excuse for Matt and Trey, and is not as useful integrating what those guys are ACTUALLY talking about in the plot itself. But then again, I don't think we can win this one, cause as soon as you reintegrated the OBVIOUS (and just those, I don't like speculations about references in an encyclopedic article) references in the article, this guy is going to put them back here.... so I'll just live with it, and read about them here. And when they'll cancel them from here too, I (as most of tthe people who use this encyclopedia to find Family Guy, South Park or Simpson episodes) will have to look somewhere else for the useful informations that were here and are not anymore. If you have a pacific way to settle this one, please use it, i don't know enough and, frankly, don't have the time to know more. Cheers Goodnight. Sickboy3883 (talk) 01:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I wanted to join to say that I agree as well as I am now watching all Southpark episodes from the official website and am forced to go to the discussion page to have a look at the references/trivia. I could obviously not care less about the extremely detailed summary of each episode. But I do expect to catch up on the references, etc. I missed. Some people should realize that not everybody is a middle aged North American man who knows the biography of the Southpark makers or Star-Trek by heart. I do not know where the issue of this systematic vandalization of the trivia sections can be discussed. The only reason I am still following the entries on Wikipedia is because the trivia is almost always readable in the discussion pages. Sorry for ranting but censoring the trivia is simply plain stupid. That the ending of this episode is adapted from IJ is obvious to anyone who has seen it and should not need further citation, as well as the "One of us" chant from Freaks or the very good Japanese spoken in previous episodes. These are all obvious to me, they may not be to somebody who has not seen "Freaks" or does not know much Japanese. I, on the other hand, do not get much of the Star Trek references. All these belong to an encyclopedia. They should also not be included in the lengthy "synopsis" which by the way should be kept much smaller. 131.188.203.167 (talk) 20:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

P.s.: as i said before, this is not a personal attack, is an attack to all those who prefer their interpretation to the interpretation of the majority of people.

Well, I for one am not North American, nor am I middle aged, so I can't possibly comment on the statement above. Alastairward (talk) 07:29, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
