- TriviaAlthough Jesus had been introduced as a character in previous episodes, this marked the first time he interacted with the main characters outside of his public access talk show, Jesus and Pals. Trey Parker said many viewers thought the character was a crazy person who falsely believed he was Jesus, and he and Stone wanted to show in this episode that he was supposed to be the actual Jesus.
- GoofsThe kids are told by Cartman when arriving at his party to put the presents on the table to their left. However, they go to Cartman's left, which is their right.
- Quotes
Cartman: Oh and look what Kyle's got me, it's a red Megam... Ants in the Pants, Ants in the Pa... Ants in the Pants!
Kyle: It's a game dude, it's really fun.
Cartman: You son of a bitch. You were supposed to get me the red Megaman. Now I can't make Ultra Mega Megaman, you dirty cheap ass piece of crap.
Kyle: They were all out of them, dude.
Cartman: I hate you. I want you to die.
- Alternate versionsIn the original 4X3 version of the episode, when Jimbo and Ned talk about "Pussy Law #4," text appears on screen explaining the particulars of the law. In the reformatted/remastered 16X9 version, this text doesn't appear on screen, likely because of there not being an easy way to reformat it for the wider aspect ratio.

Look beneath the surface, and you see a lot of grim truth about childhood in this early episode. Damien is only accepted by the gang after he begins to slap Pip around. Pip is a good kid who genuinely wants to belong, but the adults in the community don't care what happens to him or how he feels inside. Every time he gets picked on, Mr. Mackey tells him, "just take it . . . m'kay? Just be totally passive." My father was just the same way, and I'm glad someone finally told the truth about how so-called "mature" adults can stab kids in the back just by looking the other way.
Meanwhile, Damien's dad Satan is in town, challenging Jesus to a WWF style smack-down. The most interesting thing about this plot is the way Satan seems to have seen both EIGHT MEN OUT and ON THE WATERFRONT. But when the betting starts he comes out way ahead of Terry Malloy and the Black Sox . . . and that's because it's good to be the Prince (of darkness.) Good early episode, overall. A little crude, with a herky-jerky feel of two plots cobbled together. But the revolution had clearly begun . . . a case of young blades biting deep!
