While Cartman and Kenny appear briefly in the episode, neither one has any speaking lines. (edit) This episode's title "Over Logging" is a double entendre. It could refer to deforestation or going into a website on the internet. (edit)

Volunteer: Yeah sign up over there and use your time when they call your name. Each family gets 40 seconds of Internet per day.
Randy: Forty seconds? That ain't even long enough to check Wikipedia!
Volunteer: Well it's all we got, so we gotta make do.
Refugee Man: Look, honey, we ordered us some books on Amazon.
Volunteer: All right, time's up.
Refugee Man: No! No wait! I haven't entered the shipping information! No!
(edit) Gerald: Randy, where will you go?
Randy: We're gonna head west. There's a rumor goin' around there might be some Internet out there. So we're headed out Californee Way.
Gerald: You don't know if there's any Internet in California.
Randy: Well there certainly ain't none here! Look, maybe it's time you all face reality! The Internet here is dried up!
Steven: It could come back.
Randy: Yeah, and maybe it won't! In the meantime I got a family who needs the Internet right away. We'll head out Californee Way and ... see what we can find.
(edit) Randy: Gerald. Please help us.
Gerald: Randy. What happened?
Randy: Our house... it has no Internet.
Sheila: Oh my God.
(edit) Sharon: Randy, off the Internet.
Randy: Nooo. No come on, leave me alone.
Sharon: No, mister, it's time for night-night.
Randy: But Sharon, I've got stuff to do. I've gotta see my credit rating, I've gotta send an e-mail to Nelson and check out Foley's vacation photos-
Sharon: You don't have to do all that now! You can do one more thing and then it's bedtime.
(Sharon leaves the room)
Randy: One more thing?
(Randy thinks for a second then clicks something on his computer. He begins masturbating.) (edit) Mr.Stotch: If you do find internet, let us know will you?
Randy: How? ..You won't have internet. (edit)

The morning they wake up and there is no internet, it is a school day. It then says that 8 days later, it is Monday. If you actually think about it, that would be impossible. (edit) When Randy is sick, he wants to check WebMD, which is a popular medical information website where people can diagnose their own illnesses and read up on health articles. (edit) When the Marshes cannot connect to the Internet, the error screen is an actual screen shot of the Apple Safari web browser. The error screen shown in the News 4 newscast is an actual screen shot of Microsoft Internet Explorer. (edit) Netzero is the internet service provider for the Marsh family. (edit)

Hairspray:

When the reporter announces that Kyle will try to fix the problem, different TVs in the world are shown. One of them appears to be Times Square. You can see half of a "Hairspray" billboard in that scene. (edit) 30 Days of Night:

The shot of empty streets with the subtitle "8 days without internet" was an allusion to the 2007 vampire movie 30 Days of Night. In that the main characters were afraid to leave their home for fear of being attacked and it had the same shot of empty streets with a similar "8 days later" subtitle. (edit) On Deadly Ground:

Randy's speech on the abuse of overlogging in Native American attire parodies the speech Steven Segal did on the abuse of oil in the film On Deadly Ground (1994). (edit) Close Encounters of the Third Kind:

When the government researchers try to communicate with the "Internet" they play a series of notes on a keyboard. This is an homage to the scene in the 1977 movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. In the film, the humans try to communicate with the UFO using music played on a keyboard. (The original note sequence from the movie was G, A, F, F, C; in South Park they played the last note differently ostensibly to avoid copyright violation. (edit) Drudge Report:


The Drudge Report is referenced twice in the episode. It is a news aggregation site run by Matt Drudge. It was made famous for breaking the story of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. (edit)
