For the first time, Stan has pockets in his brown jacket. edit »
When Gary introduces his sisters to Stan, he says their names are Jenny and Amanda. Later on when they are laughing (after Mark's acting performance), he says, "That's a great story, Sarah". We never meet a Sarah, and it's not the mom because Gary's dad calls her Tarren. So, who's Sarah? edit »
The episode seems to suggest that Mormonism was made up by Joseph Smith. However, previous episodes have shown that Mormonism is the one true religion, since only Mormons go to heaven. edit »
In this one Stan mentions he's never heard of Joseph Smith; however, in the "Super Best Friends" episode he met Joseph Smith when Jesus did the roll call. edit »

Throughout the episode they play the Joseph Smith song saying "...Dum dum dum..." But when the voiceovers say it slowly you actually understand that they are saying "dumb, dumb, dumb!" Matt and Trey obviously did this on purpose because the whole episode is suggesting that Mormon religion is dumb. edit »
Both times the TV is on, the first episode of "That's My Bush!" is playing. edit »

Kyle: Dude, that new kid is such a douche!
Cartman:Yeah. Somebody need's to put him in him place!
Butters: He's a peckerface, that's what he is!
Cartman: Go kick his ass, Stan.
Clyde: Yeah, go kick his ass.
Stan:Well, maybe he won't fight.
Cartman:Will he bleed? That's all we care about.
Kyle:Come on, dude, somebody needs to wipe that f**kin' smirk off his face!
Craig: Yeah, little bitch!
Stan: All right, I'm gonna go kick his ass. (leaves) edit »
Stan: It's just that the Book of Mormon says a lot of strange stuff, like that Adam and Eve lived in Jackson County, Missouri. edit »
Cartman: You were supposed to kick his ass, not lick his butthole! edit »
Mr. Garrison: Well, looks like I don't have a class full of retards anymore, doesn't it children? edit »
Gary Harrison: Hey, my name is Gary.
Cartman: Hi! My name is 'Youra'�You�re a fag. edit »

Hamlet:

When Gary's family is playing around, his brother is acting out the well-known scene from Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' between Prince Hamlet and Yorick's skull. edit »
Kinderhook Plate:

The Plates of Gold that Joseph Smith found referenced as the Kinderhook plates: forgeries made on brass plates which contain heiroglyphics which eventually translate out to the book of Mormon, these plates were eventually proven to be fakes. edit »
LIFE:

Gary's family is playing a game called "LIVING," which is essentially a a spoof of the real board game called LIFE where similar situations would happen in the game. edit »

The Bottom Line: "Exactly why I watch this series"
A very accurate and funny portrayal of the most ridiculous religion to be followed by so many people. This episode contains animated events that are almost 100% historically accurate. Amazing parody. ...Continue »
