* 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.
-->'''Mr. Garrison:''' Eric, if you call Wendy a bitch one more time, I'm sending you to the principal's office.
-->'''Cartman:''' ''({{beat}})'' Bitch.
-->'''Mr. Garrison:''' That's it, Eric!

* 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.

* ShoutOut: 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''.
