Notes

add »
The British in this episode state that the American Revolution is still going on and they're still using 18th century technology even though they have cellphones. (edit)

Kenny appears briefly in the classroom but he doesn't say anything. (edit)
Pip had a brief appearance. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Older CIA Agent: We have reasons to believe that Mrs. Clinton has a nuclear device up her "snatch".
Agent Jeffery: A what!
Older CIA Agent: A snatch, it's a technical term for vagina.
Agent Jeffery: NO, I mean what kind of nuclear device! (edit)
Kyle: Yeah, it just proves we don’t need to profile one race of people because actually most of the world hates us.
Cartman: Well Bahir, I was thinking I owe you an apology.
Bahir: Really?
Cartman: Yes, but then I realized that technically I don’t because being suspicious of you I saved your life and everyone else’s so really you really owe me an apology, but that’s cool.
Kyle: You didn’t save everyone, I did. You were just out harassing Muslims.
Cartman: But, if I hadn’t called you in the first place to check out the Muslim, you would have just stayed in bed sick all day, right?
Kyle: Maybe...
Cartman: Maybe?
Cartman: If I didn’t call you, you wouldn’t have been on your computer checking out the Clinton rally. That means that my intolerance of Muslims saved America.
Kyle: That is so missing the point.
Cartman: Me being a bigot stopped a nuclear bomb from going off, yes or no?
Kyle: That’s not the right way to look at it.
Cartman: YES or NO KYLE!!
Kyle: No, not, not like your saying.
Cartman: But that’s all I'm saying today, bigotry and racism saved the day. Bahir you get this right? (edit)
Staff Assistant: Sir, these kids are right. We've just received intel that Russian Terrorists are believed to be responsible for the threat.
Staff Head: Where's the intel from?
Staff Assistant: We just read it on Drudge Report. (edit)
Mr. Hakeem: Bahir, get away from that disgusting child! (points at Cartman) Get back home and start packing your things. We are leaving this whole intolerant country!
(the Hakeem family walks off)
Butters: Aw...
Cartman: Okay, who got rid of the Muslims, huh? That was all me. A simple thank you would suffice. (edit)
Older Agent: Look, your little game of goin' over people's heads is over! You could still work, but from now on you answer to ME, you got that?!
FBI Leader: 'Scuse me, who's in charge here?!
Older Agent: I am!
FBI Leader: (more people come in) Yeah well not anymore you're not. This apartment has just been assigned to the FBI.
Older Agent: That's outrageous! On whose orders?!
FBI Leader: On order of the Secretary of Defense! You had your shot, now I'm in charge!
ATF Leader: (more people come in) Not anymore you're not! Orders just came down from Central! They want ATF handling this on all fronts! All right people, from now on you're answering to me!
Secret Service Leader: (more people come in) Not anymore they're not! Orders from the President: he wants this handled by his staff personally! Now Nelson is in charge.
Nelson: (bursts into the scene) Not anymore I'm not! (everyone else falls silent)

(later in the episode)
Kyle: Look, we already have the guy's blog. Maybe we can find an address and check it out on MapQuest.
New Agent: We do this my way! I'm the one in charge!
Kyle: (he and Stan look at each other) ...Not anymore you're not.
New Agent: Oh, snap. (walks off dejected) (edit)

Trivia

add »
When the security guards, meant to protect Hillary Rodham Clinton, were searching for a bomb, would a bomb-stiffing dog work a lot better than a pig. Pigs do have a sensitive sense, but of taste not smell. (edit)
Enemies of the USA that Cartman lists:

Russians (Soviets): The Cold War, 1945-1990.
Germans: World War 2, 1939-1945.
Germans (again): World War 1, 1914-1918.
British: The American Revolution, 1774-1787 AND the War of 1812. (edit)
When the power goes out and resets the bomb timer to 12:00, it is a joke about VCRs and other electronic devices and clocks that also reset to 12:00 when power is cut. (edit)
When Hillary Clinton is speaking at her rally, fans cheer for her with dog masks on shouting "Hildog!". Cleveland Browns fans are known for wearing dog masks to their games. (edit)
The new Muslim kid's name is Bahir Hakeem, but when Cartman has Kyle to check Bahir's myspace page, it lists his name as Bahir Habeem. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Apple Computers:

When Kyle's room is absorbed by Homeland Security, they bring in a lot of equipment, some of which clearly features the Apple symbol if you look close enough. (edit)
Monty Python's Flying Circus: The scene where several agencies enter to take over Kyle's operation is similar to a Monty Python episode which contains the popular "Argument Scketch". At the end of the skit - and even throughout the episode - several policemen enter one at a time to interupt the previous speaker and shut the show down for various absurd reasons. (edit)
Ferris Bueller's Day Off:

They way we first see Kyle in his bed is similar to the way we first see Cameron sick in his bed in the 1986 cult classic, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. (edit)
Internet:

The idea of Kyle and the feds in his room using various common websites (Myspace, Youtube, Ebay, Mapquest, PayPal) to learn valuable information that they need is a parody of today's belief that anyone can figure out anything by using the internet. (edit)
Various 24 Allusions:

1. The part where Cartman is torturing the boy's father by farting in his face saying "Tell me what the plan is" it is probably making fun of Jack Bauer's first torture scene in Season 4, when he is interrogating a terrorist who plans to kidnap the Secretary of Defense.

2. The part where the agent says "This agency is being absorbed by Homeland Security" is a reference to "Season 5: 7 PM - 8 PM" when CTU is absorbed by Homeland Security due to a gas attack that had just occured in the building.

3. The part where the FBI arrests the boy's father and the father insists that his son is at school refers to the Season 6 premiere of '24' when the father of terrorist Ahmed Amar is arrested for being of Middle Eastern descent during a time of crisis. 4. Split screens, an electronic clock counting down to ominous sound effects and the phrase "the following takes place between..." - all these elements are in every episode of '24' and spoofed here.

5. Cartman's voice is harsh, just like Jack Bauer's.

6. All the cell phone ringtones are exactly like the CTU one. 7. Kyle seems to be playing the part of Chloe O'Brian, Jack Bauer's techie.

8. The head of the CIA looks a lot like Bill Buchanan.

9. Cartman injecting himself with apple juice resembles Jack's heroin addiction during Season 3. (edit)
