message: *I thought it might be worth mentioning in the article that this episode seems to be very loosely based on an episode of Star Trek that has the same name.  In the South Park episode the kids have incorrect memories of things in the past, where in the Star Trek episode, the characters mess up the timeline in the past.--SCooley138 (talk) 07:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Forget it; I've added a source. But seriously, rules exist to be applied in an intelligent manner and when they have a purpose, not just for the sake of being obtuse. Aridd (talk) 20:22, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm of the opinion that if you have to resort to abuse and hyperbole on wikipedia, you probably don't have a source. Point in case, the tv.com "cite" is not suitable. It's a user edited website, cites from that are no better than an unreferenced wikipedia article. Pending a suitable cite, I've returned the page to the way it was.

replies: text: Is IMDB good enough for you? Ye gods. Talk about misusing the rules for their own sake. Aridd (talk) 08:24, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you might explain how I'm misusing the rules? I've removed the IMDB link, it too is full of user generated content, no cites are given. Alastairward (talk) 12:18, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

text: We should use some WP:Common Sense here. Of course it's based on the star trek episode. Is there any shred of doubt in anyone's mind about this? Honestly? 67.9.134.143 (talk) 12:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, mine. WP:BURDEN also applies. Alastairward (talk) 14:05, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Really?  It seems to me that WP:Common Sense was designed to trump other policies including WP:BURDEN in those rare occasions when the rules hinder the quality of an article.  Of course it can't trump anything unless a consensus is reached.  I would of course be for the inclusion of this information.  SCooley138 (talk) 08:25, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

text: WP:SYNTH or WP:TRIVIA would seem to counter that. We would put all sorts of uncited material in the article and allow readers to "decide for themselves". Policies and guidelines exist to stop a slew of material being added left, right and centre like this. Alastairward (talk) 10:09, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The end credits state that Henry Winkler voiced the Big Scary Monster, and the Fonzie appearing in the episode sounds like he is
voiced by Trey Parker instead. Also, the link in the credits section is irrelevant to this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.149.232.112 (talk) 13:08, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The bus breaks in two like the Titanic. I think this should be mentioned in the article because this is a reference to the movie Titanic, IMDB movie connections for this episode say the bus break-up is similar to the ship break-up in that movie, and buses normally don't break in two. The only reason the bus breaks in two in this episode is to parody the Titanic, and I think that should be mentioned in this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SamEtches (talk • contribs) 23:37, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
