1	'''Original air date:''' 8/19/1998
2
3	A film festival from Los Angeles comes to South Park and corrupts it with their lack of culture. Meanwhile, Kyle tries to save Mr. Hankey from dying and Chef tries to cash in on the festival by selling his suggestively named treats, "Chocolate Salty Balls".
4	---------------------------------
5	!!"Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls" episode contains examples of:
6
7	* ChekhovsGag: Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls revive Mr. Hankey.
8	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Chef's food products and the songs he sings to advertise them.
9	* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Verbal example only, but Wendy calls Cartman "Fatass", to which Cartman retaliates by calling her a "skinny bitch". Only then does Mr. Garrison step in and punish Cartman. To be fair, it's been well established even before this episode that Garrison can't stand Cartman and prefers Wendy so it might be a favoritism issue, not a sexism issue.
10	-->'''Mr. Garrison:''' Eric, if you call Wendy a bitch one more time, I'm sending you to the principal's office.\
11	'''Cartman:''' ''({{beat}})'' Bitch.\
12	'''Mr. Garrison:''' That's it, Eric!
13	* EvilLaugh: Robert Redford launches into a diabolical cackle after he declares he will use the Sundance Film Festival to change South Park into a huge crowded city just like Los Angeles...only to stop mid-laugh and ask the camera to zoom in on him as he does that. He then rewinds his speech to the end, laughing maniacally again, and the camera indeed zooms in on his face for dramatic effect.
14	* EyelashFluttering: Wendy does this to Stan holding his hand in the cinema, with the usual outcome: VomitIndiscretionShot
15	* FlatJoy: The townsfolk, after Mr. Hankey saves South Park by [[DestructiveSavior covering it, and them, in literal crap]].
16	* GayCowboy: Cartman dismisses independent films as being about "gay cowboys eating pudding". Trey and Matt actually said before ''Film/BrokebackMountain'' came out that "if they eat pudding, we're going to sue."
17	* {{Jerkass}}: Creator/RobertRedford. He takes the film festival to South Park so it becomes a huge town with traffic jams because he has to deal with it in Los Angeles and plans to do the same in every other small town he can.
18	* KarmicDeath: Creator/RobertRedford is killed by Mr. Hankey's poo wave after killing Mr. Hankey twice.
19	* NoodleIncident: Why was Mr. Garrison swimming around in the sewers in a full diver suit? The world will never know.
20	* SellOut: Stan accuses Cartman of being this when he sells Mr. Hankey's current dilemma to a movie producer. Neither of them actually know what a sell out is, except "if you work in the entertainment business and make money" you're one. Cartman decides he likes it anyway.
21	* ShoutOut:
22	** In yet another homage to the works of Creator/RankinBassProductions, Mr. Hankey's first DisneyDeath and ReallyDeadMontage mixed with a DarkReprise with his theme (complete with the singer imitating Creator/JimmyDurante) parodies the scene where Frosty melts in ''WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman''.
23	** The government agent in a hazmat suit taking the supposedly dead Mr Hankey away, along with his body being kept in a huge oxygen tent, are all references to ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial''.
24	** Mr. Hankey's poo wave is a direct ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'', as well as one to ''[[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show]]'' afterwards.
25	** A dying Mr Hankey mutters "There is another Skywalker..." spoofing ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
26	* TakeThat:
27	** Against the Sundance Festival and Robert Redford, since Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone tried to have ''Film/{{Orgazmo}}'' screen there but weren't allowed. There are also jabs at Sundance starting as an independent film festival, but it turned into a big Hollywood event.
28	** Kyle and Stan comment on how the American remake of ''Film/{{Godzilla\|1998}}'' and ''Film/IndependenceDay'' (both directed by Creator/RolandEmmerich) sucked ass when they're trying to figure out what an independent film festival is.
29	** After Mr. Hankey drives out the film festival, Wendy apologizes for taking Stan to all those movies and admits that most indie movies suck.
30	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Kenny is trampled by a crowd leaving a theater. Stan and Kyle are not present; instead, a moviegoer says, "Oh my God, I found a penny!", and his friend replies, "You bastard!"
