message: It's clear that the main reason for Cartman's cellmate's name is the toy that he's constantly wearing.  I'll admit, I've never seen the film, but from the descriptions the only significance between this episode and Romper Stomper is that they were both involve hate crimes.  Were there scenes or musical cues that link the two?  The film name strikes me as more of a coincidence than a direct allusion.  I'm not going to start an edit war, but I think you're stretching it by including the film.  Hoof Hearted 20:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The whole paragraph regarding the "chair" in Mackey's office is fairly incorrect. There are three chairs. Cartman switches from standing up in front of the chair, to sitting down in it. He never changes positions on us, nor does the chair ever move. The only thing he does is stand up, then sit down, etc. When he's standing, the chair disappears for the most part since Cartman is such a fatass. However, a corner of the orange chair can be seen multiple times briefly during the cuts when he is standing; the corner can be scene above Cartman's left shoulder (the viewer's right). Also, twice (once when he starts to walk out, and again when the FBI man picks him up) it is clear that the chair still exists behind Cartman. No goof is present. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.112.166.83 (talk • contribs).
*Not exactly.  When we first enter the office, we are clearly shown only two chairs. As for the whole "standing and sitting" goof, yes, that was a clerical error.  It's been fixed.  mikecucuk 15 February 2007, 19:54 (UTC)

* This episode is a spoof of the HBO series Oz and even borrows the theme music for the prison.
* The name of Cartman's cell mate, Romper Stomper, is a reference to the 1992 Australian film Romper Stomper, which also concerns hate crimes.
* When Romper Stomper first meets Cartman, he refers to him as "new fish", a possible reference to The Shawshank Redemption, in which new inmates are given the same moniker.
* Cartman's prisoner number is 24601, a tribute to Les Misérables, in which this is Jean Valjean's prison number (although the partially-obscured number on Cartman's jumpsuit is different, ending with the digits 354).
* Cartman's cellmate has the same tattoo (a teardrop under his eye) as the main character of the musical Cry-Baby (1990).  This is used mostly on and to refer to prisoners but may also indicate that the bearer has killed someone.
*The episode's car chase depicts Cartman's attempted getaway in a "Go-go-action Bronco".  This emulates the car chase involving O.J. Simpson in 1994.  Similarities: White Bronco, friend driving, relatively slow speed (35MPH in O.J.'s case), and Cartman/O.J seated in backseat http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-20-years-ago-oj-simpson-chase-20140617-story.html.

replies: text: "New fish" is something used back in the American Civil War for new prisoners, as seen in a documentary I saw on the History Channel once.  It was surely used before then, and elsewhere.  Doesn't come from just that one prison movie, it in quite a number of them, and commonly used term for a time.  They also say "fresh meat", and other things. Dream Focus 03:20, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

text: I saw a different prison film where the gang members had a tear tattoo under one eye.  Does a real gang have this?  Any proof it came from the movie Cry Baby?  Dream Focus 03:20, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
