This page contains trivia for "The F Word". 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[]

  • The use of characters making noise while riding was also included in Season Eight's "Pre-School" where the sixth graders make the same sounds while riding their bicycles.
  • Damien Thorn is seen in the school hall.
  • This episode marks Big Gay Al's first appearance since Season Nine's "Follow That Egg!".
  • This marks the only episode in which Craig Tucker is not seen at the assembly.
  • The titular "F word" was spoken 69 times - "faggot" ten times and "fag" 59 - and seen written seven times.
  • One of the bikers mentions that Cartman's feces smells like a KFC Famous Bowl, which is an actual dish sold at the fast food chain. It consist of mashed potatoes, popcorn chicken, gravy, sweet corn bits and melted cheese mixed together.
  • One of the pictures of the potential "fags" the News Team shows children is a photo of Luka Magnotta, a gay porn star. He was convicted of murder in 2012.
  • A "Gays Against Fags" sign can be seen in Mr. Slave's garage in South Park: The Stick of Truth, referencing the episode.

References to Popular Culture[]

  • Emmanuel Lewis as the Dictionary Officiate is a play on the fact he portrayed the cute child star of 1980's sit-com Webster, which is also the name of a well known dictionary publisher.
  • Father Maxi holding the sign that says "God hates fags" is a reference to the Westboro Baptist Church, a church/hate group notorious for its aggressive and inflammatory protests.
  • The scene where the news reporter gets beaten up by the Harley Riders is a parody of an infamous Jim Rome interview in which he repeatedly referred to Jim Everett as "Chris Evert" (a well-known female tennis pro).

Continuity[]

  • The concept of the whole "you can't say fag unless you're homosexual" from "It Hits the Fan" business seems to be dropped in this episode for an unknown reason, likely because it's not being used to refer to homosexuality anymore.
  • This episode reveals that Ted really did die in "Night of the Living Homeless" since he is not seen in this episode (at one point, you see just the Mayor McDaniels with the children and Johnson).
  • In "Imaginationland", Butters went by the call sign "faggot." The fact he is not annoyed and wanted to be a biker when he becomes an adult may be continuation from that.
  • Ike's pirate hat and bandana from "Fatbeard" can be seen in his bedroom.

Goofs[]

  • When the boys say, "Everyone hates those fags, right?", Butters is seen agreeing with the crowd, even though he previously said that he wanted a Harley when he grew up.
  • There are 2 duplicates of Kevin Stoley, Louis Handler (though the duplicate does not have the scarf), Sally Turner and Bartles, as well as three duplicates of Tommy Turner and Millie Larsen (though the duplicate of Millie wears a purple coat) seen in the gymnasium.
