# Talk:Medicinal Fried Chicken

What is the bouncy balls song?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.224.51 (talk) 22:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC) 

I cam here to ask the same thing.  The music sounded very, very familiar.  Musical reference to a videogame, perhaps?  --66.235.32.163 (talk) 05:32, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
It's chicken on the rocks by Jean-Jacques Perrey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EWiK2kH39Y Wakarimasu (talk) 15:02, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Wakarimasu is correct, but Perrey's "Chicken on the Rocks" is itself a modern cover of Joseph M. Daly's 1910 ragtime composition Chicken Reel -- which you probably recognize because it was often used in the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons (and other cartoons of that era).  Here's a YouTube video with an orchestral arrangement of the song similar to what was often used in Looney Tunes, etc., and here's the original rag-piano arrangement for comparison.  Since I suspect a lot of people will want to know the source of this "very, very familiar" melody, should the article perhaps mention both the original "Chicken Reel" as well as Perrey's "Chicken on the Rocks"? (By the way, in the video linked by Wakarimasu, Jean-Jacques Perrey misidentifies the original song as "Turkey in the Straw" -- though in a way he's not totally incorrect, since "Turkey in the Straw" and "Chicken Reel" have often been been combined into a single medley over the years.)

Maybe someone know the song played before Cartman meeting with Colonel in KFC HQ?--109.106.55.43 (talk) 11:00, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

I think the parody should be noticed in the article. I would do it but I just don't have the time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Admmak (talk • contribs) 02:00, 2 April 2010 (UTC) 

Can someone explain why the bare chests of the chicken sorters in Billy's basement are behind a pixelated bar in syndication? If it is because they are topless women, why are they topless? Obviously some technical care went into this detail/joke but I feel like I am missing something that makes it either funny or necessary.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.243.99 (talk) 06:40, 30 May 2011 (UTC) 

"But I think there's also another statement they're trying to make: make one thing legal and people will just find a new addiction and create a new black market. That's an arguable point, but one to give some thought."
Jesus -- Could you miss the point anymore?  I guess South Park literally has to spoonfeed people or else you get morons like this guy who somehow misinterpret it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.206.190.189 (talk) 21:39, 2 April 2010 (UTC) 

The notion is that if you legalise something, cashflow will disappear. That is a notion SP has made as to have something to ridicule.

You should add 'Buster Gonad' to the cultural references as it was also about a guys adventures with huge testicles, having to carry them around with him in a wheelbarrow  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.121.204 (talk) 01:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC) 

There was a reference to Buster Gonad in the article the other day but an American who'd never heard of it seemed to believe that if he hadn't heard of Viz/Buster then no one else in the world could have heard of them either. There's just too many repeat jokes of Buster Gonad for it to be mere coincidence.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.112.225 (talk) 17:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
While what you say could very be true without a valid source it constitutes original research.-TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:56, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
How's this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4bIYbuc4_I  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.121.204 (talk) 16:02, 4 April 2010 (UTC) 
and this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Gonad  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.121.204 (talk) 16:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC) 
oh and this line: "Buster slowly developed his own mode of locomotion – bouncing along as though on a space-hopper." from this website: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Viz  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.121.204 (talk) 16:17, 4 April 2010 (UTC) 

Merely identifying the existance of Buster Gonads does nothing. We need a reliable published source that makes the comparison for us. --TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:05, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
The first thing that came into my mind when seeing the balls was Viz's Buster Gonad, it needs a full reference as it is so obviously ripped off from that. Most of us here in the UK will know of Buster Gonad. As for "we need a reliable published source that makes the comparison for us" there are hundreds of Viz comics with Buster Gonad in them, there is your published source mate. At least have the balls to give credit where it is due. (Pardon the pun.) Tony.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.43.193 (talk) 21:11, 13 August 2010 (UTC) 
Obvious similarities to Buster Gonad so added it to the Cultural References section along with references showing similarities.Eopsid (talk) 12:39, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Was I the only one that thought the other boy accompanying cartman to the KFC "plantation/drug slum" looked like Tommy Vercetti?
He has the same shirt, and his name is Tommy, too. But how can we verify if it's really a reference? Overawe (talk) 19:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

In this episode a character intentionally contracts cancer in order to access medical cannabis. At first glance it may seem natural to want to include this article in the "Medicinal use of cannabis" category, but I've reverted its inclusion in the category, and I want to explain why: Will you please take a moment to consider the case of a chemotherapy patient who is using the category to try to research whether cannabis might help alleviate the awful nausea that treatment causes, or might provide some anti-carcinogenic effect? She'll probably be middle-aged or older, and so probably won't know about South Park or understand its satirical perspective. This article isn't going to help her at all; it provides no such information. At best it would be a really unpleasant distraction for her, and more likely it would discredit Wikipedia as a serious source of information on the topic. Putting this article in the "Sexual abuse" category because its episode makes jokes about the topic wouldn't be much different from including it in the one for "Medicinal use of cannabis" for the same reason.  Does anyone think that would be at all appropriate, or in any way helpful to people who need information about treatment?  I do understand wanting to include it in medicinal cannabis category, but I'd appreciate it very much if other editors would respect this purpose of the category as a source of information for patients and would refrain from reinstating it into the category. Satire is great fun for people who choose to tune into it, but it's not so pleasant when you're researching a possible treatment for a sickness that threatens your life. Many thanks.  – OhioStandard (talk) 12:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
