Line 468:
* 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 (Creator)]] in '''[[Welcome Back, Kotter|Welcome Back Kotter]]''' with "Oh my God Mr Kotter! Mr Kotter, oh my God!".
 
 
Line 1,034:
 
== Free Willzyx ==
* The episode's title and general concept are a parody of '''[[Free Willy (Film)|Free Willy]]'''.
* There's a reference to singer Lance Bass, who was in the news as training for a trip to space at the time. He didn't end up going.
 
Line 1,648:
* Broadway shows seen or mentioned by Randy and Sharon include '''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]''', '''Jersey Boys''', '''[[South Pacific]]''', '''[[Cats]]''', '''[[Anything Goes]]''', '''[[Godspell]]''', '''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]''', '''[[Les Misérables (theatre)|Les Misérables]]''', '''[[Sunday in The Park With George]]''', '''Lion King''', and '''Mamma Mia!''' Parker and Stone's Tony-winning '''[[The Book of Mormon (theatre)|The Book of Mormon]]''' gets a tiny ad at the end of the episode, after Randy and Sharon discuss musicals coming to Denver next. (The national tour of Book of Mormon is set to launch in Denver in 2012)
* Shelley and Larry play '''[[Settlers of Catan]]''' on X-Box.
* [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]] actually has a musical entitled [[wikipedia:The Woman in White chr(28)musicalchr(29musical)|The Woman in White.]]
* Randy "putting an end to Broadway" in a Spider-Man costume is a rip on '''[[wikipedia:Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark|Turn Off the Dark]]''', which suffered from injuries, citations for safety violations, budget overruns, and poor reviews before finally opening to some success. (Parker and Stone stated in an interview on ''[[The Daily Show]]'' that they had early fears of losing a Tony to Bono, and were glad the fears were ultimately unfounded.)
