Go To

1* HarsherInHindsight: Quite a few examples.
2** When Cartman threw the rock at Tolkien, it wasn't under racist intentions, but because he thought Tolkien called him fat even after being warned not to. [[Recap/SouthParkS17E3WorldWarZimmerman Come Season 17, Cartman would shoot Tolkien, with actual racist intentions.]]
3** Then comes [[Recap/SouthParkThePandemicSpecial The Pandemic Special]], where Tolkien gets (deliberately) shot by cops and is taken to the hospital. Unlike Cartman, who would actually get punished for his crime, the SPPD officers [[KarmaHoudini suffer no consequences]].
4** Butters spouts very misogynistic statements in this episode but is otherwise only sexist in "[[Recap/SouthParkS11E3LiceCapades Lice Capades]]", and even then it was only a throwaway remark. Come Season 20, he becomes a misogynist.
5** Kyle and the others point out how the term "Hate Crime" is being used far too liberally. In the Season 19 premiere, Kyle would find himself on the receiving end of the clearest definition of a hate crime (ironically from people who would be against such things if they bothered to find out about Kyle's Judaism).
6** In "Casa Bonita" Cartman beats up Jimmy -- a handicapped child who just happens to be white -- and suffers zero consequence.
7* HilariousInHindsight: Clyde being a HollywoodPudgy somewhat foreshadows his appearance in ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkPostCovid''[[note]]21 years after this episode[[/note]] when he's shown to be significantly overweight as an adult.
8* HollywoodPudgy: Clyde is said to be the second fattest kid despite appearing as the same size as the others.
