[QUOTE=The Scrivener] And the star’s a returner, too, boomerang-style, although no real boomerang would be able to make a return like that after slicing through something (and I have experience throwing boomerangs). [/QUOTE] Except, of course, for the one in _Road Warrior._ ---

[QUOTE=NDP] You also have to give them credit for avoiding the all-too-easy “Pope Benedict looks like Emperor Palpatine” jokes. [/QUOTE] Actually, I think that they did it because it enabled them to get bigger jabs in at Bill. To subtly point out that no matter what kind of ravening lunatic The Pope _might_ be, he’s still saner than Bill. ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] You know, it just occurred to me – this ep explained the Easter Bunny, but not the colored eggs. What’s up with the colored eggs?! [/QUOTE] Each member of the Hare Club for Men dyed an egg during their meeting, so it must be one of the organization’s sacred rituals. ---

The microwave detonator is a fairly common action movie contrivance. It was also used in Gross Point Blank [QUOTE=Antinor01] Strange, I thought it was a reference to the movie Blade. [/QUOTE] The weapon was most definitely from Krull. The sunglasses were pure Blade. ---

My laugh out loud moment was the double cross gag. That they were able to practically apply such an awful pun to the extent of it being an actual plot point was genius. ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] Come (again) to think of it, they should have found some way to work [Bugs Bunny](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=415285) into it! Of course, there was that scene where Pope Bill Donohue commands, “Kill the rabbit!” [/QUOTE] It will always be Kill the Wabbit. ---

[QUOTE=gonzomax] It will always be Kill the Wabbit. [/QUOTE] I liked how they kept that joke low key. Good episode. I knew they were going with a Cartman joke the second Jesus mentioned resurrection. Of course, until that point, I didn’t realize Cartman (or Kenny) had been missing. Cartman would be pissed to know he missed a big religious conspiracy caper. ---

Hilarious episode, but it needed more Cartman. Everything in life needs more Cartman! ---

[QUOTE=gonzomax] The chant they did was Peter Cottontail in Latin. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=BrainGlutton] Come (again) to think of it, they should have found some way to work [Bugs Bunny](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=415285) into it! Of course, there was that scene where Pope Bill Donohue commands, “Kill the rabbit!” [/QUOTE] That was the best episode in a while. Really funny. I am too late to do anything but echo all the praise. The Peter Cottontail in Latin and Kill the Rabbit lines along with Mr. Teabag’s Peep explosion where gold. Great Episode. Jim ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] Yeah, he just doesn’t seem to have very good luck in that regard. 😉 [/QUOTE] You’d think that a guy like Jesus would be able to make his own luck. What’s that say about things for the rest of us, if even _Jesus_ strikes out? 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/south-park-4-4-07/398817.md?page=2)
