The Secrets of
"Ike's Wee Wee"

cut the cheese - shouldn't that be cut the mustard? To cut the cheese is to pass gas, to fart. To cut the mustard is to pass muster, to be quite satisfacory.

Teletubbies! Po, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Tinky Winky! Their presence here is a result of a bit of lore surrounding one of them. Turns out that Dipsy was once clocked by the letter E, British slang for Ecstasy, a hallucinogenic drug (the show is for preschoolers). Tinky Winky carries a red purse everywhere he goes, and won't part with it, which is why some gays champion the show. Now, Mr. Garrison does display homosexual tendencies, and he was high on marijuana when he was looking at Teletubbies.

As Chef stops by to talk to the kids, and again when he leaves, his car stereo plays an instrumental of No Substitute, from episode 111, Tom's Rhinoplasty. Also, there's a Seinfeld episode in which Kramer, after learning that a neighbor's kid is going to be circumcised, opposes it, just as Stan and Cartman oppose Ike's pending circumcision.

The bartender who offers Mr. Mackey a drink, and then some Royal Scotch Whiskey, is the bookie from Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride.

Royal Scotch Whiskey - The Scotch do not spell "Whiskey" with an e.

The devil that appears over Mr. Mackey's right shoulder has his left nipple pierced.

Ike is Canadian. That shouldn't be a surprise, though.

After Ike's casket goes down into the grave, the piper plays a mournful Hava Nagilah.

Mr. Mackey says that marijuana makes you feel depressed and low, only to experience the euphoric high that marijuana actually imparts. Apparently, he's been misinformed about marijuana. What is true about marijuana is that you can build up a tolerance to it, so its effects are lost, and you try harder drugs to feel euphoric again.

I don't need to take you right-wing authroritative bullshit! - 'shit' was not bleeped out, it was simply silenced. Also, shouldn't authoritative be authoritarian?

The fingerpainting mural on the ceiling of the blonde woman's bedroom makes use of applicators other than fingers. One of them, used three times, is that of the Grateful Dead dancing bears.

Hap's Bar has Dude and Beer taps, just like South Park's bar does. The men's room has GAUCHOS on the door, not something you'd expect in Nebraska.

The A-Team arrives to capture Mr. Mackey and send him to rehabilitation! Mr. Garrison is in the back seat while Jimbo drives and Ned is in the front passenger seat. Principal Victoria is further back.

Mr. T, Mr. M, and Mr. G. - GMT, Greenwich Mean Time.

As Dr. Schwartz explains to Kyle the history of circumcision in the family, one can detect two links between this episode and Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi

Dr. Schwartz' last name is from Space Balls, where the power used is called liquid schwartz, and the line often used is, may the schwartz be with you. That line, in turn, is a spoof of may the force be with you. What Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Obi-wan Kenobi, and now Princess Leia have in common is the force. What Ike, his father, his grandfather, and Kyle have in common is a circumcision.

What does the smaller cutting tool say about Canadian penises? Besides the size, the shape of the gap between the blades changes. It first looks like a nondescript leaf close up, but once the camera angle changes, the gap takes the shape of the Canadian maple leaf. It retains this shape until Dr. Schwartz is ready to do the bris, at which time it returns to the nondescript shape.

And so now, children, your school counselor is back… - Apparently, so is Kenny, right behind Stan. But when Mr. Mackey takes the floor, Kenny is gone. Seconds later, when Stan protests, "You can't have your bris tomorrow, Cartman, that's when I'm having mine," the kid with the blue aviator cap (now known as Craig) has taken Kenny's seat.
