Episode Quotes |
| |
Alex: I like it. That's these boys playing?
Charles: No, that's Kansas. But these boys scored 100,000 points to it, on expert level in co-op mode.
Alex: ..that's pretty goddamn impressive.
| Brett: Have you ever heard of.. Heroin Hero?
Stan: Heroin Hero?
Brett: It's a way easier game. All you do is run around a magical forest and shoot simulated heroin. You could call it the ultimate first-person shooter.
Stan: And there's no score? No crowds?
Brett: No man. All you do is run through the pretty forest and chase a big dragon. But you don't ever catch the dragon. You just.. keep chasing it.
| Randy: Well you kids wanna see something really cool? Check this out.
(Randy picks up a guitar and starts playing Carry on Wayward Son)
Once, I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion. I was soaring ever higher. But I flew too high. Though my eyes could see I-
Stan: Dad? Dad! What are you doing?!
Randy: I can actually play a lot of these songs on a real guitar. You want me to teach you boys how?
Cartman: Uhh, that's gay, Mr. Marsh.
Stan: Yeah, that's stupid, Dad.
Randy: But... But this is real.
Cartman: Real guitars are for old people.
| Manager: You've got real potential, kid. I have no doubt you can break a million.
Stan: Really? That'd be sweet.
Manager: I think you could. But uh, as for your friend, well, to be honest, I think he's holding you back.
Stan: What, you mean, Kyle?
Manager: Look, you score a lot higher than him; there's no question who the better one is. I wanna put you with some other players, find a partner for you who can really help you max your score.
Stan: But, Kyle and I always play together. We both chipped in for the game system.
Manager: Very honorable. But you know where loyalty gets you in a game like Guitar Hero? Nowheres. Just listen to that video crowd. I haven't heard a video crowd go that wild in a long time. You've got a chance to score a million points, and I hate to see you throw it away because you're worried about your friend's feelings.
| (Stan and Kyle walk in and Randy is playing Heroin Hero)
Dragon: Come on, come on. You almost got me. Catch me. Come on.
Stan: Aw Goddamnit! Dad, get off our X-Box!
Randy: Hang on, I almost caught the dragon.
Stan: No, me and Kyle are gonna play Guitar Hero!
Randy: I can get him! Wait! Where's he going now?
Stan: You don't ever catch the dragon, Dad!
(Stan turns the Xbox off)
Randy: NO! NO I SAID! I AM YOUR FATHER! PUT IT BACK ON!

Episode Goofs |
| |
After Stan and Kyle achieve 100,000 points, they begin to celebrate. You can see that their guitars are unplugged to the power cords.
| Not an unintentional goof, but when Kyle performs Guitar Hero at the bowling alley, the sign outside incorrectly reads "KILE BARFFLOSKI."

| Visual: EV Games
The video game store that Stan is seen in is called EV Games. This is a parody of the video game retailer Electronics Boutique, or EB Games for short. In October of 2005, the store merged with other retailer powerhouse, GameStop, to form GameStop Corp.
| Visual: VAUX
Randy's guitar amp is made by VAUX. This is a parody of the real amp company VOX.
