  Episode Notes  
South Park sets the swearing record in this episode, saying the word "shit" 162 times.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Cartman: Jeez, you're a little irritable, Kyle. What's the matter? You got some sand in your vagina?
 
Cartman: Kyle, we've gotta get that sand out of your vagina. It's making you cranky. Does it itch?
Kyle: Do you really think anything's gonna be any different now? Do you really think that this will have the tiniest, smallest effect on the world? It's still the same old world out there. Look. (opens the door and the boys see frogs raining down from the sky) What the hell?
Cartman: Whoa, dude, it's raining frogs!
Kyle: Oh, whatever.
 
Ms. Choksondik: You can only use it in the non-literal sense. For instance, (writes on the board) 'That's a shitty picture of me.' is now fine. However, the literal noun form of (writes) 'This is a picture of shit.' is still naughty. (crosses out the sentence)
Cartman: I don't get it.
Stan: Me neither.
Ms. Choksondik: The adjective form is now also acceptable. For example: (writes) 'The weather outside is shitty.' However, the literal adjective is NOT appropriate. For example: (writes) 'My bad diarrhea made the inside of the toilet bowl shitty, and I had to clean it with a rag, which then also became shitty.' (crosses it out) That's right out!
 
The Boys: Hey Chef.
Kyle: Chef, do you know where 'shit' comes from?
Chef: Uh, from your ass, children.
 
Mr. Garrison: And so children, now, instead of saying 'Hand in your papers,' I may now say, 'Hand in your shit.' Any questions?
Filmore: How about, 'I have to take a shit?'
Mr. Garrison: No, no, Filmore! You can say 'I have to poop and shit,' or 'Oh shit! I have to poop,' but not 'I have to take a shit.'
 
Mr. Garrison: (singing) Hey there, shitty, shitty, fag, fag! Shitty, shitty, fag, fag, how do you do?
 
Mr. Garrison: Hey, watch it you fag!
Man: What did you call me?
Mr. Garrison: I called you a fag, because I'm gay, and that means I am free to use the word "fag." So piss off you fag shitter!
 
Mr. Garrison: Well, they can't use fag. Because you can't use fag unless you're a homosexual.
Randy: Really? So we can't say (beep)?
Mr. Garrison: No, see, you got beeped.
Man: You mean you have to be a (beep) to say (beep)?
Mr. Garrison: That's right.
Jimbo: Well, that's not fair! I should be able to say fag!
Randy: Hey, you didn't get beeped.
Mr. Garrison: Well, I guess we've learned something new about you, Jimbo, you freaking fag. You wanna make out or something?

Kyle: Four tickets to 'The Lion King' on stage!

"The Lion King: The Broadway Musical" premiered at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis on July 8, 1997. It is the musical version of Disney's animated film of the same name.
 
Cartman: You ready? Tonight, on Cop Drama, on TV, they're gonna say... (looks around) 'Shit.'

"Cop Drama", the fictional show that used the word "shit" on TV, parallels the real-life instance when the police drama NYPD Blue also used the word on prime-time television.
 
Stan: What's the Black Death, Chef?
Chef: LaToya Jackson, children.

LaToya Jackson is the sister of singer Michael Jackson, and is a singer and television personality. She is featured on the reality show, Armed and Famous.
 
Cartman: You guys, look here. In this Nancy Drew mystery, Nancy goes to the beach and gets sand trapped in her shoe. This... could explain how Kyle got it in his vagina!

Nancy Drew is a fictional character of a series of mystery novels created by Edward Stratemeyer. Though the books were occasionally written by Stratemeyer or other people, they were all published under the name, Carolyn Keene. Nancy Drew was a heroine that many little girls (and boys) looked up to for her intelligence and courage.
 
HBC President: Gentlemen, I have it! The end-all greatest marketing ploy of all time. (applause) Tonight, on HBC, we will air all our sitcoms... live. And have everyone say 'shit' in place of their written lines. And we'll call it 'Must Shit TV.'

This is a parody of NBC's Thursday night lineup of comedies, that is called "Must See TV."
