Talk:Merry Christmas, Charlie Manson!

Trivia

 * Dian Bachar, Trey Parker and Matt Stone's college friend, voices the role of the fake Mr. Hankey at the mall.
 * Manson's prisoner number is 06660.
 * When the actor playing Mr. Hankey yells to the children and they respond, you see Craig in the front, even though they are in Nebraska.

Cites please;
 * The title is a play on a line in "A Charlie Brown Christmas", the famous Peanuts special.
 * The chase sequence parodies the "Escape from the Hospital" scene of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, when the main characters are chased by the T-1000.
 * The Grinchiepoo and the "Poos in Pooville" is a play on the Christmas classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss featuring "Whos in Whoville".
 * Terrance and Phillip are seen on television farting on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
 * At the end of the episode, Manson's jail cell has books on a shelf created by him, and one was called "Are you there God? It's me, Manson" which is a reference to the book Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
 * Manson's forehead swastika, after his change of heart, is replaced with a happy face. During the car chase, it also briefly turns into a Visitor.
 * When Uncle Howard decides how to escape the police, he says, "We're coming out through the bathroom window," a variation of the title of the Beatles song "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window".
 * They never refer to Manson as "Charles", the name he's better known as, just "Charlie", most likely for the sake of the Charlie Brown parody.
 * Manson steals Cartman's grandpa's car. Before the famous murders, Manson did time in prison for stealing cars.
 * Before the murders, Manson tried to make it as a singer/musician. His big musical number may allude to this.
 * Manson's jail shirt has the ID number 06660, similar to 666 a reference to the antichrist or satan.

 * When Manson takes the boys back to the Cartman home, there is a news reporter named Robert Pooner, a name that appeared in the beginning of "The Spirit of Christmas", the original South Park short made by Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
