| booktastic bus-- this is a bookmobile, or a van whose insdies are made to be a library. These used to come round to schools once a year and kids could pick out books they wanted. They were usually run by crazed dudes and the inside of the bookmobile often smelled of stale vomit. Don't ask me why. | Jackson County Bookmobile |
| COPS -- this is a very popular American television show where cameras mounted on patrol cars or policemen catch police adventures on tape. The show's hour or half hour follows certain cops around on their "beat" (their scheduled area of patrol) and filmed whatever happened. | |
| member FDIC -- this is on banks to assure American money holders that their bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation | FDIC Home page |
| poopee -- slang for crap, but usually a word used by toddlers. | |
| "Oprah Winfrey has huge knockers" -- uh, Oprah Winfrey is this large black woman who hosts probably the most popular television talk show in America. She was at one time the richest woman in America, or something. Knockers are boobs, tits, breasts... | |
| The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe-- is a great fantasy book by C.S. Lewis, and much parodied. | Kids book reviews of LWW |
| night stick-- is this club or baton that cops carry, since many are not allowed to carry guns. | |
| "ten forward, sergent" -- Cartman means ten-four, radio language for "i understand". | |
| Cartman's cop car with tassles on the handles--ah, any child of the 70s knows this as a Big Wheels, an all-plastic low riding wide seat kid's car with two black back wheels and one big front wheel attached to the steering handles. This is a classic! | Children of the 80s site mentions Big Wheels. C'mon, it was definitely the 70s, dude. |
| the music playing when Cartman starts riding--is a morph of the CHiPs television show theme, a 70s cop drama. | CHiPs online this site may not load |
| Atlas Shrugged--this is a real book by Ayn Rand, ISBN 0-451-15748-6. Ayn Rand may be one of very few Americans who ever thought independently and didn't get assassinated or die of some horrid wasting disease. Ayn Rand's philosophy was objectivism, and it should be preached in schools. | Atlas Shrugged review you can see image of book cover that was used in episode

| the ending in petting zoo -- this is a classic spoof of the ending of the Magnum P.I. television series. The music would start, and the film would freeze as a credit sat on the screen. Then the film moved again for a second and then again froze. The fact that Barbrady stands still as everyone else is moving and the music which is playing is essentially the Magnum theme music is a great joke. Really. | Magnum P.I. |
| the theme music -- from Magnum P.I., it then adds a splash of melody from the 70s detective show, Charlie's Angels. | Charlie's Angels |
| Tom Wopat -- none other than Luke Duke himself, one of three cousins Duke on the television show The Dukes of Hazzard. This was about this podunk family who had a great car and got in trouble with the law for driving it around and looking cool, basically. I was addicted to this television show as a kid, and it is still in syndication on cable here on channel TNN. | Tom Wopat
