* ToonPhysics: Unfortunately for Stan and the rest of the gang and the rest of the world, Gluten is proven to be a destructive substance that can cause a person's dick to fly off if consumed in large or concentrated quantities. Randy even doubts that Gluten can cause such effects for a moment, but when a second person eats a lot of gluten the same results happen, forcing Randy to accept yeah that's how their world works.

* PetTheDog:
** Despite both being some of the biggest [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkasses]] in town, Stephen Stotch and Mr. Garrison both try to save the Papa John employees of the gluten epidemic when the entire town is in chaos, trying to warn them to leave the place before their dicks fly off.
** Cartman has a lot of admiration for Aunt Jemima in his dreams, and waves goodbye to her vision during the party at the end of the episode. It's especially notable since she's black and [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero he has a tendency to be scared of or vilify black people]].

** This is the sign that from now on, South Park is no longer a series of stand alone episodes with little to no continuity; it now has a continuous episode-to-episode storyline throughout each season. The A.V. Club noted this as an experimentation with episode-to-episode continuity, in which the episodes "explore the consequences of the boys' actions [week to week], allowing the plots to be motivated in part by their attempts to dig themselves out of a hole"

* InsaneTrollLogic: Randy claims that ice cream since it doesn't have any gluten must be good for you, despite how ice cream contains sugar, fat, and lactose, which is just as bad for you as gluten.

* NotHyperbole: The FDA representative starts his demonstration by stating that people have probably heard of all sorts of things gluten is supposedly responsible for, including "having your dick fly off". After he explains his audience what gluten is while using some lab equipment to distill some gluten-heavy foodstuffs into a beakerful of pure gluten, Mr. Mackey shouts at him to drink the contents of the beaker if he's so sure that gluten isn't harmful. He hesitates a bit, decides it can't be that bad and drinks it, but shortly afterwards he's in great pain, his veins start turning black and sure enough, his dick starts flailing around rapidly before flying off like a rocket.
