The 10 Biggest South Park Geek References
Posted On 05/07/2008 13:48:52 by Brad

While South Park has created a diverse set of cultural icons, such as the Talking Christmas Poo and Underpants Gnomes, true geeks love the show for its sci-fi, gaming and internet references. Insider wants to share our favorite moments that have caused nerds to forever rue the day they purchased that rack-mounted Linux server instead of TiVo.

10. Make Love, Not Warcraft (episode 1008)
References:  MMORPGs in general, World of Warcraft, and anyone who actually knows what MMORPG stands for.

Who wouldn't want a sword with 120 damage per second?

9. Starvin' Marvin In Space (episode 311)
References: Return of the Jedi, Empire Strikes Back

Sally Struthers, who looks and talks like Jabba the  Hutt, has Kenny frozen in carbonite. For the sake of the children.

8. Mecha-Streisand (episode 112).
References: Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

Barbara Streisand becomes a mechanical beast with a desire to control the world. She can only be stopped by Mecha Robert Smith. We hope to hear their duets album soon.

7. City On the Edge Of Forever (episode 207)
References: Star Trek

Just as we saw in the original Star Trek series, a nameless character in a red uniform is devoured and forgotten like last year's Halloween candy.

6. Towelie (episode 508)
References: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

The very stoned towel, who admits to being the "worst character ever," reminds the boys, "don't forget to bring your towel".

5. Guitar Queer-0 (episode 1113)
References: Guitar Hero, the musical stylings of Kansas

This flawless look at everyone's favorite simulated guitar game has only one drawback: you will have Kansas' Carry On My Wayward Son stuck in your head for 6000 years.

4. Trapper Keeper
References: Terminator, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Akira (clip NSFW if work has an issue with softcore cartoon sex, and if they do, switch jobs.)

As Cartman is absorbed with the hyper-technological Trapper Keeper, he swells into an enormous blob, just like the character Tetsuo in the groundbreaking graphic novel Akira.

3. Canada on Strike (episode 1204)

References: Painful Internet fads

In one room, the boys encounter every Internet fad your parents have emailed you in the past year. Wait, you don't remember Star Wars Kid? Yes, I did just do that.

2. Good Times with Weapons (episode 801)
References: Street Fighter

After buying weapons at the county fair, the boys are transformed to Manga-style Ninjas. Sadly, we are forced to see Cartman's over-enhanced manga-man boobs.

1. Imaginationland (episodes 1111-1113)
References: Everything

Somewhere, someone will develop a drinking game based on how many characters they can identify from horror movies, video game, tv shows, or sci-fi movies that appear at a blinding pace in these three episodes. Here the Council of Nine meets, in a scene reminiscent of the Council of Elrond from the Lord of the Rings. Even here, Butters is dressed freakishly like Aqua-man.
