Uncited material
Cites please;
 * Kyle tells Stan that Sally Struthers used to be on Full House. He may be referring to one of the daughters, DJ or Stephanie, since Sally was Gloria Bunker-Stivic on All in the Family.
 * The part of the episode in widescreen format is all a homage to Braveheart, with Chef and the turkey leader painted like William Wallace.
 * Wendy and Cartman's argument about giving charity to poor people (which Cartman ends by declaring, "Well then, perhaps they (the poor) should die, and decrease the surplus population!") is drawn almost word-for-word from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, with Cartman (of course) speaking Scrooge's lines. This is directly referenced right after when Mr. Garrison says "Alright children, that's enough Dickens for today." Trey Parker and Matt Stone have also parodied Dickens through the character of Pip and the episode of the same name.

 * In the VH1 special on South Park, it is mentioned that comedian Jerry Seinfeld had asked to guest on the show. He had been slated for this episode to provide the sound for turkey number 4, much the same as the unusual way the show had used George Clooney in Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride. Unlike George, Jerry's agent did not get the joke and cancelled his appearance.
 * The Braveheart reference is mentioned, but not specified, here, and the clip including it is called Braveheart on the official site. None of these sources state directly that the scene in question is a Braveheart spoof, though ... 96T (talk) 23:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge proposal
Does this article pass the notability test? Alastairward (talk) 16:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * no it doesnt - merge per WP:V: "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found featuring significant coverage of a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." -- The Red Pen of Doom  19:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

See This page to discuss about the merger. -- Gman 124 talk 16:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong oppose merge on this one, due to great article improvements. Cirt (talk) 12:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Teiko vs Seiko
In the Cultural impact section it is mentioned that the boys expect a "Seiko" watch, but it is actually being called "Teiko" in the episode. It may or may not be a reference to the real-life Seiko watches, but "Teiko" is what is being said. -92.227.167.143 (talk) 19:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Tom Vogt
Is Tom Vogt so notable that it's noteworthy to say he watched this episode on a bootleg videotape before seeking a job with South Park Studios? It seems like unimportant trivia to me, but I don't know how important he is. I notice a page about him has virtually no information and its notability has been questioned.

Weird things going on with this article
Examples:

Episode title says "ayaz uddin gibran" -- what is this about?

Reference number 5 reads, "Earl hunts fine homes". The Advertiser. Lafayette, Louisiana. 1998-08-12."

...what?

Seems like this article may need to be scrutinized for accuracy. Lxhetagyrum (talk) 05:21, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The first one is due to which occurred less than an hour before your post here, and has since been reverted as vandalism. The "Earl hunts fine homes" one (actually ref. 6, not 5) is legit, it is the title of a newspaper article and was added in  more than nine years ago. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 07:13, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification! Lxhetagyrum (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
