"When are they gonna make new ones?" — Our sentiments exactly during Winter and Spring 2001. But we finally got new episodes of South Park that summer.

Theernace and Phillip as ghosts

Terrance and Phillip as astronauts

Terrance and Phillip on a case

TicketSlave = TicketMaster

"I waited in line since 3 this morning!" — Check out Kyle's clothes when he says those words. He's in his pajamas, and simply threw on his jacket, shoes, and hat to purchase the tickets.

The heads of the Earth Day Brainwashing organization waving their forearms in an arc are a reference to the Jedi masters in the Star Wars movies, who can override a person's intentions with a wave of the arm and a suggestion.

"Who Farted?" = spoof of Abbot and Costello's "Who's On First?"

"Kuko the whale" — Keiko the whale, of Free Willy fame.

Posters backstage: "Meatloaf Live" (with a pic of Meatloaf), "Colorado hockey" (underneath player)

There is one references to SP:BLU in the movie not covered in "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow": the fact, as Stan said, that the boys helped save Terrance and Phillip once.

"Kenny's a random slut." — remember "The Krazy Kenny Show," where he whored himself for money?

"You know who wrote all the Terrance and Phillip stuff? ME! Phillip never did anything but read his lines!" — a stab at rumors that Matt didn't do anything but voice a few characters on the show. That rumor started when Trey Parker was shown to be the main writer of some of the episodes, not Matt and Trey together. The irony is that Terrance says that line, and he's voiced by Matt.

Why is Phillip holding the sword when he has yet to pick it up?

"He is served" — the line in the play should be "He is justly served"

Terrance says "missels," Phillip says "miss-isles".

Sometimes it's t and p, sometimes T and P, as Terrance and Phillip grow up.

In their Saturday morning cartoon, Terrance and Phillip are animated much the same way KoRn was in "KoRn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery." It's a parody of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

Though the narrator's sequence of events concerning "Not Without My Anus" airing instead of the John Schneider Variety Hour was a dead-on parody of the events surrounding the April Fool 1998's airing of that episode in real life (we were waiting to find out who Cartman's father was), it presents an internal conflict, as back in 1998, commercials for "Not Without My Anus" were being aired inside "Cartman's Mom Is A Dirty Slut." The boys knew that made-for-TV movie was coming, but in this episode it sounds as if no one knew this was coming.

What a masculine voice Cher has.

"And though the film also started the Canadian-American War of 1999, in which eight million people lost their lives, the film was conisdered a great success" — Huh? I thought they were all brought back to life. If they were brought back to life, as per Kenny's request, can it be said that anyone died in the war?

Kenny being chopped up piece by piece somes from the decimation of the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
