Episode Quotes

Grandma: I thought that shirt would look really good on you.
Cartman: Are you telling me I drove nine hours through buttfucking nowhere to get a GODDAMN SHIRT? Mom, Grandma's gone senile, time to stick her in a home.

Announcer: And now, back to "It's A Wonderful Life".
George Bailey: You can't just buy people, Mr. Potter. You know what you are? You're a little bitch. That's right, you're a bitch and I'll bet you'd like to suck it, wouldn't you?

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Manson's smiley face tattoo briefly changes into an alien head while in the car. Given the show's creators' propensity for hiding aliens in the backgrounds of various scenes, this is almost certainly an intentional joke.
Goof (continuity error): When Uncle Howard is first introduced via TV, the TV screen is clean. When he retorts that he doesn't look good, the smear of chocolate Elvin's fudgesicle is to leave on the TV is already there. Soon after, Elvin throws his fudgesicle at a clean screen, and the smear reappears.
Goof (factual errors): In this episode, Charlie Manson is incarcerated in Nebraska State Penitentiary. Manson has been incarcerated in California State Prison, Corcoran since March 1989.
Goof (factual errors): The last two acts of It's a Wonderful Life are reversed in the spoof Manson is watching. Bailey's walk through Main Street should precede his realizing that Mary is real.
Goof (continuity error): When Howard and Manson break into Grandma's basement the TV has three cracks on the screen glass, and this is the case until Manson turns on the TV the next day.
