  Episode Quotes  
Stephen Abootman: Look guy, we have to stay strong. If you don't stand with your fellow Canadians.. then you are rats!
Terrance: Don't call me a rat, buddy.
Stephen Abootman: I'm not your buddy, friend.
Phillip: He's not your friend, guy.
Stephen Abootman: I'm not your guy, buddy.
Terrance: He's not your buddy, friend.
Stephen Abootman: I'm not your friend, guy.
 
Kyle: Yeah, but you know, I learned something today. We thought we could make money on the Internet. But, while the Internet is new and exciting for creative people, it hasn't matured as a distribution mechanism to the extent that one should trade real and immediate opportunities for income for the promise of future online revenue. It will be a few years before digital distribution of media on the Internet can be monetized to the extent that necessitates content producers to forego their fair value in more traditional media.
Stan: ..Yeah.
 
Stephen Abootman: (on TV) When you think of Canada, what's the one thing that comes to mind?
Cartman: Gayness!
(The students laugh)
Stephen Abootman: That's right, spirit. What is it that makes Canada so important?
Craig: Nothing!
(the students laugh again)

I Fart Huckabees:

The Terrance and Phillip episode is called "I Fart Huckabees." This is a parody of the film I Heart Huckabee (2004), directed and produced by David O. Russell.
 
YouToob:

The boys video is uploaded on a site called YouToob. This is a parody of YouTube, a popular video uploading site that was recently bought by Google.
 
In the episode, the country of Canada is on strike. This is a reference to the Writer's Guild of America strike. The boys end up watching endless re-runs of the Terrance and Phillip show: no new episodes are being made because Terrance and Philip are Canadian. During the Writer's Guild Strike, most TV-shows were on hold. Also, in the episode, the World Canadian Bureau is called the WGA, short for the Writer's Guild of America.
