After leaving Kyle injured on the side of the road, Cartman races to the headquarters of “Family Guy” determined to put an end to the show once and for all. Originally Aired 12th April 2006 How Kenny Dies - Guest Starring April Stewart (Voice of Unknown) and Jane Bussmann (Voice of Unknown) Mini Commentary Download Get Flash to see this player. Trivia It has been confirmed (see here) by a Comedy Central spokesperson that the network did, in fact, censor the image of Muhammad, as claimed in this episode. However, an image of the prophet has been hidden in the opening credits since the episode "Smug Alert!", (see the image here). He is standing next to Satan and Scott Tenorman in the final shot of the sequence. Muhammad was also shown in a fifth-season South Park episode, Super Best Friends. A supposed, "uncensored" version of the scene emerged on the internet shortly after the episode's airing (right-click here, Save Link/Target As...). This version has been almost conclusively shown to be fake. The episode began as if to play an episode of Terrance and Phillip instead of the conclusion to last week's episode. This is a reference to an April Fool's Day prank Parker and Stone pulled at the beginning of South Park's second season when they aired a complete Terrance and Phillip episode ("Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus") instead of the anticipated conclusion to "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut". As Cartman enters the Fox TV studio parking lot, a billboard for Family Guy can be seen showing the airdate for Family Guy episodes as "Mondays on FOX". In this episode, however, the new Family Guy installment airs on a Friday. Both of these are in contrast to the real Family Guy, which airs on Sunday. When Cartman and the South Park version of Bart are arguing about who is "badder", Bart refers to the Simpsons' episode, "The Telltale Head". Cartman references the South Park episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die" to win the argument. During Cartman and Kyle's fight, they pass a sign for Cold Age: The Smackdown, a parody of FOX's Ice Age: The Meltdown, which was the #1 movie at the box office at the time. Fox also, at the time, placed static ads for the movie into their shows. When Kyle and Cartman are both trying to convince the network president to concede to their point of view, Kiefer Sutherland's real face can be seen on a wall poster for "26," a parody of 24. When trying to convince the Fox president to air the show, Kyle says, "Yes, people can get hurt. That's how terrorism works. But if you give in to that, Doug, you're allowing terrorism to work." The current president of Entertainment for the Fox Broadcasting Company is named Peter Liguori. The name "Doug" is presumably a veiled reference to Comedy Central's president Doug Herzog, who also previously served as president of Fox TV Entertainment from 1998-1999. The scene that shows the Fox president deciding whether or not to pull the episode is a parody of a scene from Air Force One starring Harrison Ford. When the man drops Kyle off at Fox studio, he says that he is sick of cartoon shows that are "up its own ass with messages." This is, arguably, a reference to South Park itself. Cartman's line right before the fight "let this be our final battle" echos the words of Skeletor in the film Masters of the Universe right before the fight between himself and He-Man. The gag here is that after Skeletor says this, he and He-Man clash swords in a dramatic scene, with a bright light in thunder: here, Cartman and Kyle just start slapping each other. According to Trey Parker, after this episode aired the people behind The Simpsons sent flowers to the South Park staff, and the creator of King of the Hill called to say "you're doing God's work" to the creators of South Park for their satirizing of Family Guy. On the Fox website, the teaser details for the Family Guy episode Peter's Two Dads states, "This week, the manatees picked out topic balls reading 'Peter's real father lives in Ireland and Peter goes there to find him.'" The creators of Family Guy have apparently taken the episode's treatment of their show in good humor, even making references to the episode in the commentaries on the show's season four DVD box set, stating that when South Park depicted them moving random jokes around, "That's pretty much how it is." They point out jokes and state "this was originally for <another episode> but it ran long, so we moved it to this one" on several occasions. They even refer to cut away jokes as "manatee jokes". When Cartman and Kyle fight, they crash through the window of the King of the Hill animation studios. On the wall is a poster which reads "11th season!", a reference to the show's recent unexpected renewal for an eleventh season by FOX. The King of the Hill office is also quiet and calm which is perhaps a reference to the show's style and pacing.
