Kyle is on his deathbed with
a rare kidney disease and his mother is trying to cure him with a
variety of natural, holistic crap. Cartman, meanwhile, is the only one
who can save Kyle's life, and although he is willing to bargain, his
price is high. Also, two Indians come in and sell various native
products, including tampons made from super-absorbent Cherokee hair. |

| Trivia |
- Cartman sings a song consisting solely of the word
"no" in
the tune of "Comedy Tonight!", a from the 1962 Broadway musical by
Stephen Sondheim "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum".
- The school board mentions Mr. Garrisons conduct and
recent charges of
soliciting sex from a minor. This most likely stems from the episode
before this one, Cartman Joins NAMBLA, where Mr.
Garrison sets up a meeting with Cartman on the internet, supposedly by
mistake.
- In a commercial for this episode when Stan asks what
Cartman would do
with $10 million he replies that he would make Britney Spears his sex
slave. When the episode actually aired, he instead says that it doesn't
matter what
he plans to do with the money. A possible reason for is that this was based on a story that a businessman offered Britney $11 million to have sex with him, a story that later proved to be false. For legal reasons, the Britney Spears reference was subseqently removed from the episode.
- One of the toy spacecraft Cartman and Kenny are
playing with is a
miniature of the one that heads for Earth at the beginning of Spooky
Fish. The alien from that ship is also there as a toy, as is Cyborg
Bill
from Chinpokomon.
- In The Valley Of Penises, spoofs Beyond
The Valley Of The Dolls, the X-rated 1969 movie for which
Roger Ebert, movie critic, wrote the screenplay. Relatedly, Trey Parker
didn't much care for Ebert's review of South Park: Bigger,
Longer, & Uncut, citing Beyond The Valley
Of The Dolls as a reason Ebert should have been more positive
in his review.
