The "Montage" song is actually from an episode of South Park (Parker and Stone's TV show) called "Asspen," where Stan learns how to ski in a similar montage style.

Quotes
Chris: You might have all the others fooled, but not me. Your action was reckless and it put us all in danger. The next time you pull a stunt like that I'll drill two holes through your dick so that when you pee, it shoots out in all different directions, you got it?
Mistakes
The position of the head of Kim Jong Il's statue changes during the scene. (First time we see the statue in this movie, it's blinking and moving: it is a real person). See more...

The "Montage" song is actually from an episode of South Park (Parker and Stone's TV show) called "Asspen," where Stan learns how to ski in a similar montage style.
The scene where Gary strolls into the bar is virtually the exact same layout as the canteen in Star Wars. Several people are playing the same instruments and people are even "drinking" from those bong-like tubes.
Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" is the only non-original song in the film. Trey Parker wrote all of the other songs. (Battle Without Honour or Humanity, from Kill Bill, is just music, rather than a song).
Originally in early drafts of the script, I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. was called F.O.N.Z.Y.
Spottswoode asks Gary if he's ever seen "a guy eat his own head". A reference to the SOUTH PARK episode "Super Best Friends" (created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone), where David Blaine performs such a feat.
Stay till the end of the credits for an extra song: "You are worthless, Alec Baldwin".
In the Paris scene, at one point in the background a cafe called "Cafe Merde" can be seen. "Merde" is French for sh**.
On Lisa's Team America business card (when she's giving it to Gary), the L and the I of Lisa are closer together than the other letters, making LISA look like USA.
Harry-Gregson Williams was hired three weeks before the film's release to compose a new score for the movie. Paramount Pictures fired the original composer Marc Shaiman because his score didn't have a Jerry Bruckheimer feel to it.
The statue in Kim Jong Il's palace is a real person.
The surrounding palm trees at the F.A.G. building, and the back round trees in Cairo are actually made of cut up one dollar bills. Also, in Kim Jong Il's mansion, hanging on the lights and chandeliers there are rocket bombs and grenades. The belt buckles of the Team are U.S. quarters and Gary has a set of nail clippers on his left leg. The surrounding poor suburbs of North Korea are made of Chinese food boxes. In Cairo, the lanterns in the tavern are made from cheese graters, vegetable steamers, and incense burners. The walkways in the Paris scene are made out of cast crescents as well as having all the recognizable monuments of Paris residing in one single plaza.
At the marketplace in Cairo, there is a character with a basket on his head. If you look closely you can see that the basket is filled with Goldfish crackers.
In the scene where the Panama Canal gets blown up, all the foliage in the background is made to look like marijuana.
