South Park/Shout-Out: Difference between revisions

Line 281:

* The wormhole is right out of '''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]''', as is the warping movement the Marklar ship experiences in the worm hole. The Marklar ship turns out to have a computer with a female voice, just like the Enterprise ships and Voyager do, and it is armed with photon torpedoes.

* Sally Struthers appears here as [[Star Wars|Jabba the Hutt]] with her very own Tiberian Junker, and Kenny is frozen in carbonate.

* The bridge of the Christian Ship resembles that of the [[Star Trek|Enterprise]], but the exterior is more Klingon and '''[[Star Fox (series)|Star ~~Fox~~]]''' influenced.

* The appearance of the Marklars is similar to the Kanamits from '''[[The Twilight Zone]]''' episode, ''To Serve Man.''

Line 461:

* The show everyone is talking about is likely referencing '''[[Chicago Hope]]''', on which a character said, "Shit happens." (It's worth noting that Chicago Hope was not a "Cop Drama," and the [[Word of God|commentary]] incorrectly attributes the uncensored expletive to [[NYPD Blue]].)

* Mr. Garrison's song parodies '''[[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]'''.

* The red haired man at Excalibur looked like Eric Idle and the wizard there looked like Tim from '''[[Monty Python and ~~The~~ Holy Grail]]'''. When the knight died he did that long "ahhhhh", like the inscription on a cave wall in Holy Grail when one of the character dies.

* The dragon, Geldon, bears a certain resemblance to [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101222025309/disney/images/4/4f/Maleficent_Dragon_-Wallpaper-_copy.jpg Maleficent] of '''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Disney's Sleeping Beauty]]''' (who also appears as a villain in '''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'''.)

== Cripple Fight ==

* The fight between Timmy and Jimmy is nearly shot-for-shot the fight scene between [[Roddy Piper]] and [[Keith David]] in [[John Carpenter]]'s '''[[They Live]]'''.

* The fight between Timmy and Jimmy is nearly shot-for-shot the fight scene between [[Roddy Piper]] and [[Keith David]] in [[John Carpenter]]'s '''[[They Live!]]'''.

* The Mountain Scouts' branding as a hate group is a reference to the Boy Scouts of America v. Dale case in 2000. [[Steven Spielberg]] said at the time that he was no longer proud to be a Scout.

* Jimmy's impressions include [[Jimmy Stewart]] in '''[[It's a Wonderful Life|Its a Wonderful Life]]''' with "Merry christmas movie house" and [[John Travolta]] in '''[[Welcome Back, Kotter|Welcome Back Kotter]]''' with "Oh my God Mr Kotter! Mr Kotter, oh my God!".

Line 493:

* The '''[[Hamlet]]''' scene is more or less line-for-line.

* The Terrance & Phillip Saturday morning cartoon is a parody of '''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series|Star Trek the Animated Series]]'''.

Line 610:

* The name Priest Maxi is a reversal of [[Reggae|Maxi Priest]], an English reggae singer.

* The great queen spider worshiped by the Catholics is a reference to the 1970s '''Doctor Who''' serial ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S11 E5 Planet of the Spiders|Planet of the Spiders]].''

* The old monk in the St. Peter's catacombs, and especially the line "What is your quest, Father?" is a reference to '''[[Monty Python and ~~The~~ Holy Grail]]'''.

* Priest Maxi's adventures through the catacombs after the Holy Document is a trip through '''[[Pitfall!]]'''.

Line 877:

* Stan placed, bound and battered with a bucket over his head, on a mule and sent off into the wilderness like a scapegoat, is a pastiche of '''[[Mad Max]]: Beyond Thunderdome'''.

* The PETA Animal Sanctuary has some resemblance to '''[[Jurassic Park]]'''.

* The accented line, "Open the gate!" comes from Arthur, King of the Britons in '''[[Monty Python and ~~The~~ Holy Grail]]'''.

* The accented line, "Open the gate!" comes from Arthur, King of the Britons in '''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'''.

* The hybrid child of a person and an ostrich says "Kill me." This is a nod to a similar scene in the movie '''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]: Resurrection''' when the mutated Ripley/Queen fetus says the same thing.

Line 962:

* Kevin, the hooded, hissing figure advising (and apparently dating) Satan bore a strong resemblance to both Emperor Palpatine from '''[[Star Wars]]''', and Grima Wormtongue, Saruman's right hand in '''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'''. The army of demons is very orkish and their preparation for war comes nearly shot-for-shot from Saruman's army of uruk-hai before setting out for Helm's Deep. Satan is also seen consulting a Seeing Stone, or Palantir. They go ahead and throw a lampshade on the homage when they have Michael compare what he's seeing on the battlefield with the epic battles in '''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|The Lord of the Rings]]''' films.

* There are also some parallels with [[Kevin Smith]]'s '''[[Dogma]]''', in which a coma keeps a soul (in that case, God) trapped on Earth and unable to save the universe.

* Heaven's army celebrates winning the war by cheering in a manner not unlike the moment of "much rejoicing" in '''[[Monty Python and ~~The~~ Holy Grail]]'''.

* Heaven's army celebrates winning the war by cheering in a manner not unlike the moment of "much rejoicing" in '''[[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'''.

* The story parallels a high-profile case of a feeding tube being pulled from a vegetative woman named Terri Schaivo, who was almost entirely braindead. Her parents opposed her husband in taking her off life support, claiming she was aware, and President Bush signed legislation designed to keep her alive, hence Kevin's whispering to him in this episode.

Line 1,067:

== Cartoon Wars Part II ==

* Cartman's "Let this be our final battle" line to Kyle before their fight references '''[[Masters of the Universe (film)|Masters of the Universe]]''', in which Skeletor says the same thing to He-Man.

* During Cartman and Kyle's fight, they pass a sign for '''Cold Age: The Smackdown''', a parody of [[~~Fox~~]]'s '''[[Ice Age]]: The Meltdown''', which was #1 at the box office at the time. Fox had placed static ads for the movie into their shows.

* The kid Cartman encounters at Fox studios is Bart Simpson, who tells the story of stealing the head off a statue from '''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''' episode, ''The Tell-Tale Head.''

* When about to pull the episode, the network president begins his approval code with, "Zero, zero, destruct." This is a portion of Captain Kirk's self-destruct code for the Enterprise in the ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield."

Line 1,620:

* Cartman sings ''Heart Light'' by Neil Diamond.

* The Secret Society of Cynics has several expies from '''[[The Matrix]]''', with the most obvious being the leader, who looks and explains the situation like Morpheus, and one woman who looks exactly like Trinity. (To go back into the 'matrix' world they knew, they drink whiskey rather than plug into a machine.)

* The fighting to reveal the illusion of "alien brainwaves" to everyone could come from '''[[They Live]]'''.

* The fighting to reveal the illusion of "alien brainwaves" to everyone could come from '''[[They Live!]]'''.

* Stan goes to see [[Adam Sandler]]'s '''Jack and Jill'''.

* The mention of "rock creatures" is a likely reference to '''[[Runescape]]'''.
