SHORT-HAND OF EPISODE:

When the SPK4 tried to pass in a report about their Vietnam vet Jimbo (who made up part of it), they flunked the report and are given a week detention. They formulate a plan (Based on and episode of The Brady Bunch) involving tricking Ned & Jimbo to beliving their is a very dangerous frog roaming thoughout South Park. At the same time, Jesus and his own show is given a update to get better ratings against Jimbo & Ned's "Huntin' & Killin'."

INTERESTING TIDBITS:

-Instead of saying "It coming right for us!" Acording to the new Colorado state law, those people when hunting must say "We need to thin out the herd." In order so that there are not too many of them around to overpopulate the Earth.

-Another look into Garrison's homosexuality as he thinks of what we would've like to be in Vietnam.

-The Captain (or whoever was the higher rank of the army) resembles Cheif Wiggim from "The Simpsons."

-The map of Vietman is really Italy. Both do resmeble each other don't they? Ho Chi Mahn City wasn't there yet that untill the N. Vietnese took it over in 1975, it should've been called "Saigon." Other locations are mimicks of Disneyland attractions.

-Ned's full name is Nedger Blanski (I hope I spelled it right).

-Jimbo's last name is Kerns.

-The stock footage of Vietnam sure put more drama into this episode.

-This is the second time Cartman poses in drag (first time in #204 Chicken Lover).

-Kenny's mooning sure was unpredictable.

-The floor manager (or whatever he was) wears a cap with the movie "Titanic" described on it.

-This is the first time Jesus says something negatively.

-Saddam Hussein (from #201) and Satan (from #108) are a couple? Weird huh.

-Kenny's death was more grosser than before.

GOOFS AND OTHER BITS I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WELL:

-The producer has the cell phone attached to her hand in most of the closeups, even when she's in Hell.

-Those remarks about Micheal Jackson's child molestation harks back to what should've been said in #105 Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride. Weird t hear it from a black guy.

Don't know about any other goofs yet.

Please don't flame my post. I am not a shut-in. I just like to get some stuff off my chest untill anyone else notices as well.

He met Ellen there, too.

But doesn't Bradbrady do that?

Speaking of Italy, I'm hungry for pizza!

He even had an arm and normal voice. Have you noticed that on Volcano that they said he lost his arm to a grenade but on here they said his arm was sliced off?

(Trashes the footage) No drama on this episode!

Hee hee hee

Oh my gosh! We've been mooned by Kenny!

Don't forget he said his own name on Elephant makes love to a pig, remember?

The devil is gay. Case closed.

That's what makes it funnier.

She just had to call some demons.

Hey, I'm big gay Al! And I touched some children!

Just thought I'd make funny remarks. Sorry if some are lame!

No, he's just decided that for the next millenium or so,Saddam is going to be his "bee-atch." Sort of a "fitting" punishment for "Saddam," isn't it?

Better watch out. Saying that the devil is gay probably shortens your life expectancy about as swiftly as calling Pinhead a fag for wearing a skirt. I don't want to be standing next to YOU when the chains start flying out of the wall.

Gay < > Child Molester. What's yer point?

Mommy, I'm scared.....

Here's an interesting twist. The name of this epiosde "The Mexican Staring Frog of blah, blah, blah," seems to be loosely based on a simular title Trey used in a student film he produced when he first met Matt. It was called "The Giant Beaver of Southern Sri Lanka." I don't want to give out the plot, but it does involvd a giant beaver and it rips-off Godzilla. I haven't seem it though.

I thought it was a play on "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"...a short story by Robert Louis Stevenson (maybe?).

off?

Hmm? A grenade did indeed blow his arm off in this episode. He pulled the pin and, just as he was ready to toss it...*BOOM*!

There's another Simpsons reference in this episode. Uncle Jimbo's last name is "Kearns", and in the Simpsons, one of Jimbo Jones' lackeys is named Kearney.

mei dei! Kennum interfecerunt! furcifri!

"Uh, okay, but ya only got 5 minutes. This place is turning into a Starbucks."

If you've ever met a producer or for that manner an agent, manager, producer who THINKS they've got a position of any importance, you will surely find a cell phone firmly attached to their clammy grasp.
