Line 269:
** Judging from youtube comments, many people saw the South Park parody of the Adam Sandler movie [[Jack And Jill]] before they saw the trailer, and didn't think the movie was real.
** P Diddy's 'Vote or Die' campaign in [http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Douche_and_Turd Douche and Turd] is [[wikipedia:Vote or die|real]].
** Whenever the kids often go in superhero outfits, Kyle goes as Human Kite. Many fans who have read comic books might find a similar character named Charles "Chuck" Brown aka Kite-Man, who's a supervillain unlike Kyle. That's right... [[Batman]] had his run-ins with someone who uses a kite.
* If you saw the ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode parodying [[Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Hamlet]]'' before reading the actual play, you might be surprised to discover that the ear poison was used in the original, and not merely a comedic prop used in the parody. Shakespeare's usage was based on a contemporary urban myth circulating in the day (the murder of that myth was well-known, the method was unverified).
** The episode "All Singing, All Dancing" opened with the family watching what seemed to be a Western, with The [[Man With No Name]] walking into a dusty town - and then breaking into song about 'painting his wagon' with [[Lee Marvin]], horrifying Bart and Homer who wanted them to kill each other. The portrayal is exaggerated in the episode, which also inserts Lee Van Cleef dressed as [[For a Few Dollars More|Colonel Mortimer]], but it surprised a lot of fans who later discovered the film ''[[Paint Your Wagon]]'', starring [[Clint Eastwood]] and Lee Marvin, actually exists. And it was ''after'' Clint gained his credibility in the [[Dollars Trilogy|Leone westerns]]. And, yes, they both sang. Well... okay... but they both ''tried'' to. The song and wagon-painting scene used on ''The Simpsons'' aren't part of the musical, though.
