Cartman warns the citizens of South Park that it will only be a matter of days before the town becomes the Hippie Capital of the World. No one will believe him until they find out the hippies plan to stage a weeklong music fest. The town has no choice but to turn to Cartman for help. He then puts his plan to eradicate his lifelong enemies in motion.

Trivia When Cartman talks about needing a black person to sacrifice himself for no reason, it's a reference to the 2003 film, The Core, in which the African American character does exactly that. Indeed, the whole episode follows the storyline of the film. The whole Hippie Jam Festival is a mockery of the Force of Nature concert for the Tsunami Aid happening in Malaysia. The scene when Gerald Broflovski looks out his door to see droves of Hippies going to the concert is a parody of the typical zombie movie image. When Cartman is queuing up Slayer's Raining Blood, it can be seen that he has two other albums on the list. One is listed as Muhhrrtallicaz - Ride the Thunder. This is obviously a play on Ride the Lightning by Metallica. The term "little Eichmanns", which the neo-hippies often use in the episode, is a reference to the controversy over a Ward Churchill article titled Some People Push Back. In the piece, Churchill used the phrase to describe the technocrats working in the Twin Towers on the morning of the September 11th attacks, because in his opinion their status as drivers of the American empire, ignoring deaths due to the Iraq sanctions, was comparable to Adolf Eichmann's management of the Nazi genocide. Even though the piece was over three years old, it was just being discovered and discussed by the mainstream media shortly before this episode aired. Churchill was a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, which is near South Park and is where the show's co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone first met. The scenes involving the plan constructed by Cartman to use a drill to reach the center of the music festival is a parody on the film style of the Bruckheimer/Bay producer/director team, whose films include The Core and Armageddon. At the beginning of the episode Cartman's hippy-busting gear resembles the aparrel worn by the characters in Ghostbusters. Originally, this episode was meant to be a parody of A&E's Dog the Bounty Hunter, but the creators decided that not enough people had seen the show to understand the references. The parody of the show was later implemented into the Season 10 episode, Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy. Cartman's appearance and general tone of speech is almost identical to that of the presentation scene of the 1988 Japanese anime film Gunbuster. In addition, the data he presents as well as the speech he gives is almost a direct parody of Dennis Quaid's weather presentation in the 2004 film The Day After Tomorrow. "Were you bit" and "Listen, you're my friends, but if you've been compromised, I'll have no problem taking you out! I'll expect the same from you" - from Dawn of the Dead. The WoodStock flashback with Stan's parents refutes Randy's flashback in Something You Can Do With Your Finger. Woodstock took place in 1969, and if Randy and Sharon were 19 at that time, they'd be 54-55 now.
