* [[Fan Nickname]]: The "Colored Screen of Death" for Kyle's speech at the end of "201", after what videophiles call the "White Screen of Death", which seemed to be pure [[Nightmare Fuel]] for those who watched to the end of a VHS tape from Paramount.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The Japanese dub got three different voice casts: One for the WOWOW version of the series (when the series debuted in Japan for first time), another for the Japanese branch of Fox Network, and another for the movie:

* [[I Knew It!]]: "About Last Night", being a pastiche of heist films, sets up viewers to say this a few times.

* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: "200" and "201" will never appear on TV again, [[Subverted Trope|though a recent press release confirmed that they would in fact be featured on the season DVD sets]]. However, [[Ruined FOREVER|much to the fans' displeasure]], the version of "201" that appears on the DVD is the "[[Screwed By the Network]]" edited version. Also good luck with ever seeing "Super Best Friends" again on television (though "Super Best Friends" is available -- with Mohammed shown and referred to by name -- on the season five DVD set).

* [[Reciprocal Fiction Paradox]]: This trope even occurs within a single show: ''[[South Park]]'' and ''[[Show Within a Show|Terrance and Phillip]]'' have watched each other's television shows. This gets a bit muddled as Terrance and Phillip are "real" actors in the South Park universe with a television show the South Park kids watch, but the characters (one assumes) Terrance and Phillip play have watched ''South Park''. Do what now?

* [[Talking to Himself]]: Played straight at first and then [[Lampshaded]] pretty hard. Parker and Stone voice almost every character and even they admit they don't have much of a range.

** In the DVD commentary, they point out one episode where they're playing two nondescript extra characters who actually switch voices in mid-scene. It probably happened more than just the once.
