get rid of all goofs from all episdoes. 1 no legit encyclopedia has a "goofs" section 2 most of the goofs are from people failing to realize that south park is a humorous show. not a scientific documentary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.12.135 ( talk) 01:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
The "no legit encyclopedia has it" is no valid argument. No other legit encyclopedia has hundreds of thousands contributors either, but that doesn't mean Wikipedia shouldn't keep working the way it does. The other point - "comedy show and not a scientific one"- is more valid though. But with movies and series - especially humorous ones- it is a little different, I think. People come to these Wiki pages for those snippets - like trivia (which I think shouldn't be removed), references and goofs. Because not everyone will understand every joke or pun, and there are times when it isn't sure wether something was a goof-up, a deliberate mistake, a reference or simply a silly joke. That's why we put this stuff up on Wiki. - 92.226.195.216 ( talk) 09:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I removed the bracketed reference to Terminator 3 and the grandfather paradox on the basis that discussion of this belongs in the articles for Terminator 3, and, especially, the restricted action resolution section of the Grandfather paradox article. Reveilled 12:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't see it mentioned anywhere on this article... DrWho42 05:53, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Despite the time-travel-goo on their backs leading to them being called Goobacks, I always thought it was actually a pun on "Go Back" more than anything...

No.. it's a joke about Wetbacks (Mexicans crossing the river and thus getting their backs wet before going into america) —Preceding

When Stan runs home to tell his parents about the man from the future, the reporter in the news says that the man is "from over 2 thousand years" in the future. But it is just a little over 1k years. Did the writers of the show change the date from 4045 to 3045 or is the anchorman just retarded? - 92.226.195.216 ( talk) 10:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
