Grand Theft Auto:

The way Randy stops a car, pulls out the driver, punches him and then hijacks the car is very similar to the way cars are "borrowed" in the "Grand Theft Auto" series of games. Given the theme of this episode, this looks like a deliberate allusion. edit »
"leetspeak":

This episode pokes fun at the intentional misspelling of words in MMORPG's such as "uber", "pwn", and "n00b". edit »
Cartman's TeamSpeak:

Cartman's TeamSpeak commands rant parodies the popular Leeroy Jenkins video containing a similar barking of commands. Both this portion of the episode and the original Jenkins video satirize the excessive planning and elitism of so-called "nerd guilds" who specialize in raiding.

Though the scene is typical of many endgame raid command rants, the wink to that video occurs most obviously when Kyle mentions not being specced to reduce his cast time and Cartman in an annoyed tone replies with "Christ....". An almost exact circumstance and response from the team leader occurs in the Leeroy Jenkins video. edit »
Gauntlet:

One of the head programmers in the Blizzard boardroom is wearing a shirt that says "Dwarf Needs FOOD!" This is a reference to the video game Gauntlet. edit »
Computer Nerds:

The title pokes at the stereotype that most players in the WOW community are virgins, or at least spend more hours playing the game than they spend with the opposite sex. edit »
