for gods sake people, its a god damned cartoon, not everything has to be correct —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.12.135 (talk) 14:24, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Now when Stan, Kyle and Token are presenting their presentation, the drawing about the sled race it shows Kenny. Didn't Kenny get killed?

Another thing is when Stan and Kyle are talking to Cartman you can hear a mom saying "And did you remember to not drop your soap?"; that's a refrence that dropping your soap in bad in prison for making friends [some people in prison turn homosexual]. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.130.138.131 (talk • contribs) 02:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC).

I noticed that the boys take their case to the Governor of Colorado. I noticed that Cartman was convicted of a felony in a federal court and, from what I've read on American law, the Governor of Colorado would have no right to release Cartman - the only person with enough authority to release Cartman is the President of the United States, so the boys would've had to take their case to him.

Romper Stomper

It's clear that the main reason for Cartman's cellmate's name is the toy that he's constantly wearing. I'll admit, I've never seen the film, but from the descriptions the only significance between this episode and Romper Stomper is that they were both involve hate crimes. Were there scenes or musical cues that link the two? The film name strikes me as more of a coincidence than a direct allusion. I'm not going to start an edit war, but I think you're stretching it by including the film. Hoof Hearted 20:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Trivia

The whole paragraph regarding the "chair" in Mackey's office is fairly incorrect. There are three chairs. Cartman switches from standing up in front of the chair, to sitting down in it. He never changes positions on us, nor does the chair ever move. The only thing he does is stand up, then sit down, etc. When he's standing, the chair disappears for the most part since Cartman is such a fatass. However, a corner of the orange chair can be seen multiple times briefly during the cuts when he is standing; the corner can be scene above Cartman's left shoulder (the viewer's right). Also, twice (once when he starts to walk out, and again when the FBI man picks him up) it is clear that the chair still exists behind Cartman. No goof is present. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.112.166.83 (talk • contribs) 00:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC).

• Not exactly. When we first enter the office, we are clearly shown only two chairs. As for the whole "standing and sitting" goof, yes, that was a clerical error. It's been fixed. mikecucuk 15 February 2007, 19:54 (UTC)

More trivia

Cite please?

• This episode is a spoof of the HBO series Oz and even borrows the theme music for the prison.
• The name of Cartman's cell mate, Romper Stomper, is a reference to the 1992 Australian film Romper Stomper, which also concerns hate crimes.
• When Romper Stomper first meets Cartman, he refers to him as "new fish", a possible reference to The Shawshank Redemption, in which new inmates are given the same moniker.
• Cartman's prisoner number is 24601, a tribute to Les Misérables, in which this is Jean Valjean's prison number (although the partially-obscured number on Cartman's jumpsuit is different, ending with the digits 354).
• Cartman's cellmate has the same tattoo (a teardrop under his eye) as the main character of the musical Cry-Baby (1990). This is used mostly on and to refer to prisoners but may also indicate that the bearer has killed someone.
• The episode's car chase depicts Cartman's attempted getaway in a "Go-go-action Bronco". This emulates the car chase involving O.J. Simpson in 1994. Similarities: White Bronco, friend driving, relatively slow speed (35MPH in O.J.'s case), and Cartman/O.J seated in backseat. Pomeroyc (talk) 03:20, 9 July 2014 (UTC)Pomeroyc

"New fish" is something used back in the American Civil War for new prisoners, as seen in a documentary I saw on the History Channel once. It was surely used before then, and elsewhere. Doesn't come from just that one prison movie, it in quite a number of them, and commonly used term for a time. They also say "fresh meat", and other things. Dream Focus 03:20, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I saw a different prison film where the gang members had a tear tattoo under one eye. Does a real gang have this? Any proof it came from the movie Cry Baby? Dream Focus 03:20, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

No "2000"s

Okay The only episode of south park's fourth season to have "2000" in the title was "Timmy 2000". No other episodes had 2000 in the title. All the information involving that is wrong. Somebody really needs to fix this. If you don't beleive me check out the season four episode guide at south park studios. It clearly states "Episode 401: The Tooth Fairy Tats; Episode 402: Cartman's Silly Hate Crime; Episode 403: Timmy 2000; Episode 404: Quintuplets...", see? Only timmy 2000 had 2000 in it. Check out for yourselves if you still don't beleive me. Go there for yourself. I know i'm right. 68.39.79.161 (talk) 03:02, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

They must've changed it. When it was first shown though, it had that in there. What is it called on the DVD? Perhaps the title could be changed, and this just a bit of trivia for the bottom. They say in the FAQ

"Why are the first season 4 episode titles ending with the number 2000?

When the year 2000 was coming up, everyone and their brother had "2000" in the titles of their products and TV shows. America was obsessed with 2000, so Trey put "2000" in the titles to make fun of the overuse.

So it was originally called that. Dream Focus 00:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I raised the issue on the project talk page. The FAQ is showing the quote above, but not for me unfortunately, I wonder if it's the new redirect for UK and Irish viewers. Alastairward (talk) 00:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

The first four episodes of season 4 have "2000" in the title; "The Tooth Fairy's Tats 2000", "Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000", "Timmy 2000", and "Quintuplets 2000." South Park Studios Season 4FLCOM1 (talk) 09:07, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

He smuggled all of Disneyland up in his ass? Please clarify this statement.

"Cartman goes back to jail to pay a visit to Romper, who has always wanted to see Disneyland, and grants his wish by defecating it (off-camera), having smuggled it in his butt."

What exactly does he defecate out? Not the entire theme park, surely. Dream Focus 00:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Haven't seen this, but I wouldn't be surprised. Never underestimate the capacity of Cartman's alimentary canal.   pablo_hablo. 15:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

At the end of the episode, Cartman visits Romper Stomper, and here's the transcript:

Romper Stomper: Wow! I've never had a visitor before!

Cartman: Well, that's not all! I snuck something in for you too!

Romper Stomper: You did?!

Cartman: (Checks outside to ensure that everything's clear.) You know how you told me you always wanted to see Disneyland?!

Romper Stomper: Yeah!

Cartman: (goes over to the unseen toilet and sits.) EH! Yeh! YEAH! (splash.) There's the Pirates of the Caribean!

Romper Stomper: Whoa!

Cartman: (closing credits.) Eh, WHOA! Here comes the Space Mountain now! EAAH! OAAAH! (splash)

Romper Stomper: Oh, yeah!

Cartman: Eh! AAAAAY! (splash) Ay! Small World! Eh! (splash) Splash Mountain now comes now! Eh! Eh! Heeh! HEEH! YEEEAAAH! (splash)

Romper Stomper: Oh! The Monorail!
