Cartman has been crucified on a Christian cross as part of the boys' adaptation of the biblical event. As Cartman calls for help, Officer Barbrady walks by going "Noo-ne-noo-ne-noo" like the Typewriter Guy. He notices Cartman on the cross, and observes "T ... T is for turtle."

• Season 4, Episode 7: "Chef Goes Nanners"

The town is debating about changing their flag. In one scene, Ned and Jimbo try to blend in at a KKK meeting, where the members are playing "Who's Got the Silliest Thing On Under Their Robe?" One of the members has a Big Bird outfit under his robe.
