Does somebody know why there is an airplane of Braniff Airlines with the mention "Believe it" in the end credits? [See http://www.spscriptorium.com/SPinfo/SPStudiosFAQ3.htm]
I am aware that Canada and Mormons appear frequently in South Park. Is there a reason for them to appear? [Trey Parker and Matt Stone have said that they're making fun of the media; Canadians are very similar to Americans, yet the US media often portrays them has being very different. Trey Parker apparently grew up around a lot of Mormons and, we can infer, organised religion didn't make a good impression on him.]
With many references to homosexuality (e.g. Saddam Hussein, Mr. Garrison, Big Gay Al, etc.), are the creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker homosexuals? [No, they're not. Homosexual jokes are generally pretty funny, and they usually stir up a lot of controversy, which is always good for ratings and box office returns.]
Why is Tweek always so nervous and jumpy? [His father owns a coffee shop, and in the episode where the Starbucks ripoff is moving in, it shows that his parents give him coffee all the time. So it's just the effect of the caffeine.]
Throughout the series Cartman makes a lot of money (His double myrrh Christian album, the theme park he briefly owned, etc) Any idea where it all goes?? [He always loses it in some way because he is a stupid jerk. His amusement park money was taken by the IRS for example.]

Why does Kenny only die occasionally in the later seasons, not in every episode? [Because Trey Parker and Matt Stone got bored with having to find new ways of killing Kenny each episode. Originally they wrote him out completely by killing him in "Kenny dies" but they decided to bring him back but without having to kill him each episode.]
Have Stan and Wendy gotten back together, since breaking up in the episode where Stan becomes Gothic/punk? [No they haven't. In season 9 episode 10 there is actually some jealousy between Stan and Kyle because Kyle is doing a parenting project with Wendy, and Wendy hasn't been featured much in the episodes after this one. So there is no indication that Stan and Wendy are back together.]
In the new Cartoon Wars episodes, nothing is said and nothing happens when the boys are in the King Of The Hill part of the studio. Is there a joke behind this? [In King Of The Hill, Hank and his friends usually stand around at the front of his house, drinking beer and saying nothing. The joke is a reference to this.]

Can anyone tell me what Kenny actual sings during the opening credits? I know it changes through the series, but I don't know what he sings in any of the versions. [In Series 1 and 2: "I like girls with big fat titties, I like girls with big vaginas." In Series 3-5: "I have got a ten inch penis, use your mouth if you want to clean it". Kenny doesn't appear in Series 6. From Series 7 onwards, he says, "Someday I'll be old enough to stick my dick in Britney's butt."]

In episode 9-13, the kids save a whale and actually send it to the moon. The last scene and the end credits are shown in silence. What is the point of this? [The boys had thought they had done this magnificent thing for the whale when it really just killed the whale. The last shot just showed there was no happy ending. As for the silence it might be to keep the audience in anticipation. In the shot we see the whale lifeless and with no sound around. One could think that it might make a miraculous recovery as nothing is happening.]

Does anyone know the name of the episode where the teachers tell the students about sex, and the girls and the guys get all scared of each other, and I think they go to war or something? [Season 5, episode 7 - Proper Condom Use.]
I've read that the shows creators are friends with Mike Judge, the creator of King Of The Hill. Is this one reason why, in the "Cartoon Wars" episode, the boys walk through the King Of The Hill studio without anything happening or any insults being made? [This is more likely because they mean to imply that nothing ever happens on that show.]
The Snuke.
In the episode 1009 Mystery of the Urinal Deuce we get to know that Cartman believes 9/11 was a conspiracy. At the end, Stan and Kyle got to know the real truth, but Cartman didn't. Why would he think that new guy is a terrorist, if he believes that 9/11 was a conspiracy by the U.S. government? [Cartman is paranoid. Just because he believes 9/11 was a government conspiracy doesn't mean he doesn't also suspect everyone else.]
Across the whole show, how come whenever Cartman uses the word authority, he says it as if it was spelled authoritAY? [He's doing a mock impression of a southern USA sheriff.]

An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig (series 1)
When the episode returns from the first commercial break with the kids at lunch, it is obviously all construction paper until Terrance shows up. Why is that? [All of the South Park episodes are computer animated except for the first one, the construction paper effect is deliberate.]

Is there actually a real sound frequency known as a "brown noise?" [No, it's an urban legend. Mythbusters did a really good bit on it. Look on Discovery.com for the DVD.]

Hooked on Monkey Fonics (series 3)
Is the Dio guy who sings at the dance a real person? If so, then does Trey Parker or Matt Stone hate this person? [Dio is the band name of Ronnie James Dio of Rainbow and Black Sabbath fame. Check out http://www.robertjamesdio.com for more info. Matt and Trey don't hate him he is just an easy target for jokes.]
All of series 4 (series 4)
From "The 4th Grade" onwards there's a new opening intro for the show. The final clip shows a live action scene from a guy jumping away from an explosion, where it that clip from?
