« prev episode next » episode

The boys are sent away to learn "cultural sensitivity" and Mr. Garrison is back as the boys' 4th Grade Teacher. Ever since Ms. Chokosondik's untimely demise at the end of the spring season, Stan, Kyle and Cartman have been without a teacher. Principal Victoria rescues Mr. Garrison from his stint with the "booger- eating, pants crapping kindergarteners" and promotes him to teach the 4th grade. Informed that fourth graders are a little too old for Mr. Hat, Garrison comes to class with a new, and even more inappropriate, assistant. Read full recap »

It was said in the episode that Mr. Garrison came out two years ago, yet in the show he came out when the boys entered 4th grade. If it was true, than the boys should've been in either the 5th or 6th grade, yet it's true only to our time standards, as Mr. Garrison came out in the 4th season. edit »
In "Red Hot Catholic Love", food was able to go through the digestive system backwards just fine, so why did Lemmiwinks have to go on a big journey to go through someone's body the same way? I know it's a cartoon, but still... edit »
This is the second time that someone said the N word. edit »
Mr. Garrison says that boiling is an exothermic reaction, but boiling is endothermic, and it's not a reaction, it's a phase change. edit »

Mr. Hat is seen at the begining of this episode, but that is also the last time we see Mr. Hat. edit »
This is the first appearance of Mister Slave, who would become a recurring character throughout the series. edit »
The whole Lemmiwinks subplot in this episode actually seems VERY much like another Tolkien ref/parody. There is a cartoon movie of the Hobbit, and the song sung through this episode is quite similar to the song(s) sung in that. (as is elements of the subplot). edit »

Death Camp of Tolerance Guy: (About Garrison and Slave) What have we here? New recruits? I can assure you this next week will be nothing but pain and suffering!
Mr. Slave: Ooh, this might be kind of fun! edit »
Mr. Slave: What you need to do is show the parents what kind of demented faggot you are. edit »
Principal Victoria: You've demonstrated a lack of tolerance for Mr. Garrison's behavior. In fact, I believe you used the word 'sick queer' to describe his conduct in class.
Chef: He is a sick queer!
Mr. Garrison: Yea! edit »
Mr. Slave: It wasn't the first small animal I put up my ass. edit »
Mr. Garrison: Now what do you think is going to happen when I introduce the element of the gerbil to the endothermic heat of Mr. Slave's ass? edit »

Gerbilling:

The practice of putting live gerbils in the anus, gerbilling, is an urban legend. Gerbils are illegal to keep in Southern California and it is believed that it is because of this practice, really it is for agriculture. There has yet to be documented proof that gerbilling really exists so for now it is merely an urban legend. edit »
Full Metal Jacket:

Museum of Tolerance Tour Guide: This is a black person eating fried chicken and watermelon, a stereotype that hurts the African American people.

This is a reference to Stanley Kubrick's 1987 film Full Metal Jacket, where Gunnery Sergeant Hartman says to one of his black recruits, "Well there is one thing you won't like, Private Snowball, they don't serve fried chicken and watermelon on a daily basis in my mess hall!!!" edit »
The Hobbit:

All of the music for the Lemmiwinks sequences are parodied off of the 1977 animated version of The Hobbit. edit »
Schindler's List:

The two little girls hiding in the latrine refers to a similar scene in the 1993 film Schindler's List where children hide in latrines to avoid transportation. edit »
