| Trivia |
- Rapper Kanye West is featured prominently in "Fishsticks" and lampooned for the rapper's perceived ego problem; West frequently speaks highly of himself in interviews, declared himself the "voice of this generation" and said his greatest regret was not being able to see himself perform live.
- A Kanye West song in the episode about the fact that he is indeed a "gay fish" is a parody of the West song "Heartless",and satirized the hip-hop trend to use an excessive amount of Auto-Tune-style pitch audio processing.
- Mencia's death scene in the episode, as well as his claims that he uses a catheter to relieve himself, are a reference to Lalin, a character who uses a wheelchair in the 1993 crime film, Carlito's Way.
- During a fantasy sequence, Cartman says "flame on" and turns into a fiery, flying superhero; this is a reference to the Human Torch, a fictional superhero and member of the Fantastic Four.
- Both Kanye West and Carlos Mencia responded within one day of the episode's original broadcast and said they enjoyed the parodies of themselves.
