-->'''Kyle''': Dude, the thing is, we're not the ones that made them crack babies. That's their mom's goddamn fault!
-->'''Stan''': Yeah, I'm sure that's what Cartman would say too.
-->'''Kyle''': I do not sound like Cartman, Goddammit! (covers his mouth in horror)


Added DiffLines:

* RealAfterAll: Late in the episode, Clyde and Craig learn that the guitarist [[Music/SlashMusician Slash]] does not actually exist and that he's a fictional character akin to Santa Claus, with parents dressing up as Slash to keep up the ruse. At the end, however, Kyle and Stan find that the orphanage the former planned to fund is being built, with the two of them finding Slash's signature hat and guitar in the corner.


Added DiffLines:

* SkewedPriorities: After EA screws the association out of the profits from the deal and the rights to their company, they, except for Kyle, are more concerned that Slash is not real and that their parents lied to them.

Kyle tries to help crack babies in need and finds that Cartman, Clyde and Craig have started a basketball league for them. He has a battle over his conscience when Cartman asks him to join the management.
!! Examples:
* NotSoAboveItAll: Kyle is initially outraged when he finds out what Cartman is doing, but Cartman is able to manipulate him into joining by telling him how much money they've made.
* RefugeInAudacity: Cartman dresses up and acts as a 19th century plantation owner to find out how the University of Colorado-Boulder avoids compensating its student athletes.
* TakeThat: The entire episode mocks the [=NCAA=] for making billions of dollars off college athletes and only compensating them through free college tuition and housing, which is a pittance compared to what a paid salary would be.
