This page contains trivia for "T.M.I.". Remember, trivia must be factual, provable, and it is always best to cite your source for not-so-obvious trivia. If you would like to dispute a trivia point, please discuss it in the talk page.


Trivia

  • There was no chart showing the girl's height differentials.
  • Cartman uses the name Mitch Conner again.
  • The fact is Cartman didn't get an iPad before this episode, but seems to have an iPhone 4.
  • The T.M.I. formula is a spoof of B.M.I., the Body Mass Index, which uses a formula for measuring how fat you are that is rather complicated, and seems to have changed a few times over the years.
  • In real life, T.M.I. can also mean "Too Much Information", which this episode provides in spades.
  • This episode has the word "shit" uncensored again. Also, Butters is seen naked and his penis is visible and not censored. Kenny's was also visible in "Coon vs. Coon & Friends".
  • One of the lesbians from "D-Yikes!" makes an appearance as one of the Anger Management group members.
  • Bradley Biggle's name is not on either of the list of sizes. This is presumably because he is still away from earth visiting his father.
  • In the scene where Randy explains the formula, several new, never-before-seen people are seen in the classroom.
  • There are various formulas for T.M.I.:
    • Randy Marsh:
    • Surgeon General:
    • Anger Therapist:
  • When Randy Marsh runs on and attacks the lady, he yells the "Boutin montair!", a French term which roughly translates into "Damn liar!"
  • The Surgeon General's last name may be a spoof for "turn out".
  • The Anger Therapist's equation showing that small penis size correlates to anger is incorrect. It lacks an indication that the relationship in inverse, thus according to his calculation people with larger penises would be more angry.
  • Tweek's penis size falls below the new average made by the Suregon General.
  • The first FedEx that was taken over was in FairPlay, CA. FairPlay is the town that South Park is based off of.

References to Popular Culture

  • At the very beginning of the episode in the school cafeteria, Butters and the boys are discussing the Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child scandal (which Butters mistakes for the Terminator and Skeletor), that made headlines the day before the episode aired.
  • One of the students' name on the list is Leroy Jenkins, a reference to a YouTube video where a World of Warcraft player yells "LEEEEEEEROOOOY JEEEENKIIINS!!!" at his monitor.
  • One of the students name is "Adam Briggs", which is an Australian rapper's name.
  • One of the students is named "Brock Sampson", which is a reference to Venture Brothers character "Brock Samson".
  • One of the attendees of the anger management class is shown to be part of the Tea Party movement, which was gaining momentum around the time this aired. He made a reference to the debacle concerning the location of Barack Obama's birth certificate and whether or not he was born in the United States.

Continuity

ActualSizes
  • Tuong Lu Kim returns after six years after his last speaking appearance, "Wing".
  • Many minor characters' full names were revealed on the chart, including Damien, Timmy, DogPoo Petuski, Leroy, Bill, and Fosse.
    • However, it should be noted minor characters Francis, Jason and Terrance Mephesto are not listed, though all continue to appear in the background.
  • Cartman's excuse "I'm not fat, I'm big boned", hasn't been used since "Jared Has Aides", 9 years ago.

Goofs

  • Cartman reads his growth spurt right the first time - 1.2 inches - but misremembers it later as 1.4 inches.
  • Bridon Gueermo from "Elementary School Musical" is on the Fourth Graders penis sizes, although Bridon is in the Third Grade.
  • Randy said his T.M.I was 6.3 inches, which he said was 0.8 inches above the national average, which would make the average 5.5 inches, but the FedEx chairwoman said the national average was 6 inches. This is probably because of their different T.M.I. ideas.
  • On the actual penis size chart it says Cartman is 1.2 inches, but everyone sees it as 1.4.
