At an archaeological dig Kyle picks up a triangle that Cartman has discarded. The media attention from the find attracts the attention of Barbra Streisand who needs the triangle to complete “The Diamond of Pantios.” When she completes the diamond, she turns into a terrible monster that will require the combined efforts of Leonard Maltin, Sidney Poitier and The Cure’s Robert Smith to defeat her. |

| Trivia |
- When Cartman sees the helicopter, he claims they're aliens and covers
his ass. This is a reference to Cartman Gets an Anal Probe.
- Robert Smith's transformation is a parody of Mothra from the Godzilla movies.
- Leonard Maltin's transformation is a parody of the Japanese show, "Ultraman."
- The title of the episode is an allusion to the title of the 1974
film "Gojira tai Mekagojira" ("Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla"), where
Godzilla fights a metal replicant of himself.
- Leonard Maltin mentions to Chef that Barbara Streisand found the first triangle while filming "My Fair Lady." However, "My Fair Lady" starred Audrey Hepburn.
- The word "Roshambo" (Rochambeau) is another way of saying rock, paper, scissors. However, Cartman's concept of Roshambo is for opponents to take turns kicking each other in the testicles until one of them falls over.
- Barbra Streisand has a picture of Satan and herself in her torturing chamber.
- Barbra Streisand's short monologue is heavily accented and grammatically incorrect Japanese, roughly translatable as "Today, for me, it is a new beginning! From this day forward, my name is.... Mecha-Barbra-Streisanda!"
- In a reference to The Omen, Leonard Maltin explains that Streisand's parents were a Jackal and an insurance salesman.
- Guest star Robert Smith was given his lines out of context and told it would be funnier for him to just read them and did not discover the plot until it aired.
