Episode Quotes
Randy: Stanley, Easter celebrates the day that Jesus was resurrected after being crucified for our sins.
Stan: So we dip eggs in colored vinegar and a giant rabbit hides them?
Randy: That's right.
Stan: You don't see the missteps in logic with that? Look, I'm just saying that somewhere between Jesus dying on the cross and a giant bunny hiding eggs there seems to be a... a gap of information.
Randy: Stanley, just dye your goddamned eggs!

Stan: (rushed) My Dad's in a rabbit-worshiping cult called the Hare Club For Men they protect the secret of Easter but before they said what it was they were attacked by ninjas and put me in charge of Snowball!
Kyle: (pauses) I'm kind of finger painting right now.

Kyle: You swore on the cross, fatso!
Bill: Yeah. Too bad for you... it was a double cross! (cackles)



Episode Goofs
In this episode, Teabag says (and Jesus confirms) that Saint Peter was actually a rabbit. This contradicts the season 9 episode "Best Friends Forever" where Kenny saw the very human-looking Saint Peter in heaven.



Cultural References
Randy: (singing) In my Easter Bonnet... with all the frills upon it... I'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade!

The song Randy sings is "Easter Parade," written by Irving Berlin.

Randy: We are all part of a secret society, Stan. A very ancient, very important society of men who follow the way of the Rabbit, and protect the secret of the Easter bunny. We are called... the Hare Club For Men.

The Hare Club For Men spoofs the title of "The Hair Club for Men", which is a company that helps men (and women, actually) prevent hair loss and offers solutions for those who suffer from it. The company is known for its television commercials, in which founder Sy Sperling utters his trademark phrase, "I'm not just the president, I'm also a client."

Visual: The Street Warrior poster.

Stan has a "Street Warrior" poster above his bed - a spoof of the 1981 film, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.

Teabag: The Hare Club For Men has been around for centuries. One of its most famous members was Leonardo da Vinci. Behold The Last Supper.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452 – 1519) is a famous Renaissance inventor, scientist, architect, and painter. One of his most famous works is The Last Supper, a scene of Christ and his twelve disciples having their last dinner together, and where Christ announces that one of them will betray him.

Visual: The Mona Lisa

On Teabag's wall, just after he directs Stan and Kyle to escape down the ladder, hangs The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The Mona Lisa is thought to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a wealthy Florentine businessman named Francesco del Giocondo. It is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.

Visual: CONY

Teabag's television is a CONY, a spoof of SONY.

Reporter: A strange turn of events here at the Vatican - Pope Benedictus has stepped down, ushering the new era of... Pope Bill Donohue.

Bill Donohue is the president of The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. According to their website, "The Catholic League is the nation’s largest Catholic civil rights organization. Founded in 1973 by the late Father Virgil C. Blum, S.J., the Catholic League defends the right of Catholics – lay and clergy alike – to participate in American public life without defamation or discrimination." Donohoe called Parker and Stone "little whores" for "grabbing the bucks," and "taking their shot at Jesus."
