* ScriptSwap: When the boys are able to confirm that the brown note works, they decide to prank some rival kids by altering a copy of the sheet music to include said note and taping it onto their hotel room door. The only problem is that they added a post-it note saying "Revised music for tomorrow", so when one of the organizers of the titular event comes along...
* ShoutOut:
** The boys stay at the Film/RomanHoliday Inn.
** Mr. Garrison's line: "Second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning" is a reference to a line in ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''. The line was, in turn, a quote from ''Literature/PeterPan''.

* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Mr. Garrison has gotten it into his head that getting molested is a sign of being loved, and since his father ''never'' molested him, then it means he doesn't love him. Throughout the episode, Garrison even tries to entice his father into coming for him.



* DefeatMeansRespect: The New York City kids are the only ones to deduce that the boys are the ones responsible for making everybody on Earth crap their pants (including their own). But rather than get mad about it, they are instead duly impressed by the South Park kids' prank and gladly take back everything bad they said about them before.
