Talk:Fantastic Easter Special

Music?

When Stan is running from the Bunnies, there's some tense music playing. Conventional wisdom is that this is from MGS3: Snake Eater. I don't think that it's the same, but I can't shake the feeling like the music is from somewhere. Can anyone shed some light on this?

song at hare club entrace

which song is playing when stan and his dad enter the hare club?

the song that played a the hare club for men was a mix between the italian langue and easter giberash. words such a hipatis hpitas dom u somee nay.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.27.131.103 (talk)

No, the song is "Peter Cottontail" - by Steve Nelson & Jack Rollins, set to Gregorian Chant, with some Latin words and Latinized balderdash. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.16.241.210 (talk) 00:52, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Cultural references

I've moved some "references" that seem like they're somewhat grasping pending verification;

• The scene where Professor Teabag puts the Peeps into the microwave and they explode is a direct reference to The X-Files movie.
• In the scene when Stan's father tells him about Easter the poster on the wall behind him says "the street warrior" which is a reference to Mad Max, the road warrior.
• The predilection for rabbit costumes among members of the Hare Club for Men is reminiscent of Furry Fandom.
• The scene in which Jesus asks to be killed so that he will immediately resurrect (as well as the music played during this scene) is a reference to an episode of Battlestar Galactica in which the Cylon Boomer begs to be killed so that she will come back to life aboard the Cylon resurrection ship.
• His name is also a spoof based on the sexual practice of teabagging.

I actually came to this page looking for the X-Files movie reference. It does appear to be a direct reference to the bomb scene at the begining of the movie. Has this season of South Park been released on DVD yet? I wonder if a commentary for it would verify some references. I really do believe the peeps in the microwave to be intentionally linked to the X-Files movie bomb, with Teabag just sitting there looking at it.

I don't personally see much resemblance, but cite it and it can stay.Alastairward (talk) 20:59, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

William Donahue section?

There's a quote here about the Passion Of The Christ which seems out-of-place. How is this related to the episode? I'd like to remove the section mentioning "Lock up those two jews" unless someone can make it more clear how these two quotes are connected. Poobslag (talk) 15:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I've cleaned it up and trimmed some of the extra to help address this. Banjeboi 22:17, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Hippitus Hoppitus

Some problems with this subsection. It contains unverified claims regarding the origin of the song, the importance of the song in having its own subsection on the page hasn't been expanded upon and I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to provide such large verbatim quotes from others' pieces of work.

Third opinion: Not much discussion going on here, but based on the back-and-forth in the edit summaries, I agree with WikiuserNI. The entire section is original research, and the quote is a little too heavy. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 15:18, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Nitpick

Due to the nature of this show's humor, this might have been misunderstood by the article writer, but Kyle wasn't hesitant to kill Jesus and enact his "resurrect outside the cage" plan because of his beliefs on the divinity of Jesus (implying he'd worry it was just regular murder). He was hesitant because of society's views on the guilt of Jews in killing Jesus, and didn't want to do it again. That's why he said Cartman can never know about it. It's not something I can state objectively or cite, being that it's just an understanding of the language (all he actually said was "I'm a Jew, I have an issue with killing Jesus" or something like that), but suffice it to say anyone who's in the know with the show's attitude and lingo understood what he meant. The modern habit of speaking volumes by saying very little is going to make clinical interpretation of TV shows increasingly difficult if we don't just accept that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.206.153 (talk) 03:27, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
