First time the fact that Stan, Kyle and Kenny really aren't Cartman's friends is revealed to his face, although Eric doesn't really notice. (edit) In it's original airing, the episode ended right when Cartman groans in agony of being grounded. In later showings, there's a new scene where Stan asks Kyle if they've learned anything, and Kyle storms off. (edit) This episodes alludes to the movie many, many times. For instance, the entire principal's office scene is almost a remake of the office scene in the movie, right down to Cartman acting freaked out so he can get out of being grounded at the end. The rest is also similar, a fat, obnoxious, bullying individual stands up aganist the so-called "enemy" (in this case it's Rob Reiner), which in turn, the enemy is a peaceful one until it has been threatened. (Big Tobacco here) The boys are shoved through all of this, and their lives are almost done away with. (only Cartman's in this episode) Another allusion is the fact that the boys are trying to dodge from getting grounded for three weeks, just like in SP:BLU. Kyle even realizes all of this, claiming that this is all going to become one gigantic mess and they should abort it ASAP. Unfortunely, Cartman leads them to tell the moral and follow the formula, and just like in the movie, there's an ultra-happy ending with pretty much everyone, both sides. Quite a theory, isn't it? (edit)

Rob Reiner: I'm Rob Reiner! You've just been Reiner'd! (edit) Cartman: I thought you guys were my friends, but I guess I was wrong!
Kyle: Yea dude, you were totally wrong. (edit) Cartman: Oh! I get it Kyle, that's your Serbian Jew double-bluff! (edit) Rob Reiner: What kind of backward hick state is this!?! (edit) Rob Reiner: We're gonna use these children to bring the companies down! (edit)

During the scene in which Cartman runs out of the recording studio there is a small red dot on the lower right hand corner of the screen. (edit) Help me out with this one… When the kids have to make a decision between being grounded for three weeks or getting help from the tobacco companies, which would make everyone, come up with torches, why would they choose the second one? Because after they chose that, they were still grounded… It's like either be grounded or do all that work and still be grounded. (edit) From previous episodes it has been shown that Kenny isn't afraid to try anything from gasoline to alien drugs. It's a wonder why he never tried a cigarette before. (edit) Shadows are shown where the boys are smoking. They are on the south side of the school, judging by the shadows. (edit) Why are the firefighters the size of gnomes? The perspective doesn't change any, but the firefighters look smaller than the students. (edit)

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory:

The depiction of the workers in the cigarette factory is a reference to the Oompa Loompa's in "Charlie/Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." (edit) Animals:

Cartman: You guys, Kenny's eating his own hand!

This is an allusion to how trapped animals will gnaw at their trapped limbs to escape a truly desperate situation. (edit) Punk'd:

Rob Reiner: I'm Rob Reiner, and you've just been Reiner'd!

This line refers to the 2003 reality TV show "Punk'd," hosted by actor Ashton Kutcher. In it, they would play a prank on a celebrity, and then at the end, Ashton Kutcher would say to the celebrity "I'm Ashton Kutcher, and you've just been punk'd!" (edit)
