The episode had really obvious callouts to this somewhat obscure youtube video:

Wiki-scholars take this all the wrong way. The leprechaun reference exists, and Trey Parker and Matt Stone are "referencing" that (notice the quotes if you don't under stand what the hell it was suppose to mean) deliberately, just as they are referencing the way Batman in the Dark Knight would appear to the police and just as fast leave before anyone noticed. This episode, like any episode of South Park, is loaded with "references" to real world culture and events. If you feel the need to remove cultural "references" stab your eyes out as you do the world no good as you can't see what is blatantly obvious (And, no, this is not an issue of POV when the rest of the world clearly sees it). Otherwise removing it shows you have never seen any other episode of this show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.242.231.109 ( talk) 05:33, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, maybe I'm the only person who went out and saw the crappy movie The Spirit, but the episode is definitely centered around it.

Cartman's a racist, so of course he slams Obama for being black. But since Cartman is also an Author Avatar for some of Treys more controversial opinions, he may actually believe that Obama has failed. The title was probably meant to be offensive, but not exactly toward Obama, since there was literally one joke about him the whole Episode. I see it more of pointing out the Double Entendre of the word "Coon." But whoever this Carlos Delgado guy is, seemed to like the Episode, so I won't delete it from the Article myself.

Previous episode references and real life locales do not influence the plot in the way that super hero stories have, hence I removed them as "cultural references". Alastairward ( talk) 15:41, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
These episode pages used to be an interesting source for finding out cultural references made in South Park and some of the thinking that went into the episodes. Now they're just enormous plot summaries. I believe I'm making a valid point when I say this can't possibly be the intended structure of Wikipedia, a plot summary that's too long to read and NOTHING else? It seems that certain obsessive editors (I've seen the name 'Alastairward' like a million times) are patrolling them and destroying anything that doesn't fit their personal view of what Wiki 'should' be. I'm only a casual user/ editor, but this kind of militaristic approach annoys me. To me, this kind of editing is as bad as vandalism. It annoys just as many people, and takes the fun out a series that is supposed to be about just that, fun. Perhaps we should move for a variety of editors on these pages, people who know the rules of Wikipedia well but don't put their enforcing over other people's interest and enjoyment of the show. Let me know what you think before this post is removed as well, or I get a condescending citation of 'the rules' with a link Wiki:how to or something, or get told to use the sandbox... I think this is a constructive post for freedom of speech. Joncheetham88 ( talk) 01:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
This is the response I predicted. I'd like to say that Wikipedia's policies work extremely well: if someone adds some crap, it gets taken down, and the site stays trustworthy. However, there is room for a little flexibility, as there is in any good system, otherwise we end up with tyranny! IF, for example, I went to Princess Diana's article and changed the date of her death to 2011, or added a section to Gandhi's profile about his hate crimes, I would fully expect to be thrown out of the site as a vandal. However, when it comes down to South Park's cultural references, who is it really hurting? No-one. There's clearly a lot of people who feel like they are being discouraged from editing, and made to feel like inferior editors, and you must admit that the policies are what they are but there is such a thing as staying close to the rules and making people miserable...religious fundamentalism, for example! And this cultural references thing does feel a bit like a crusade on the part of some. Anyway, hope you look at my response on the Fishsticks page as well. Joncheetham88 ( talk) 17:10, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Redpen guy, very constructive. I know the kind of people who criticize the way you say something to try and belittle you instead of even attempting to respond to your argument, it's the lowest form of response, so get stuffed. Hunter Kahn, I appreciate your recommendation, I had a look at the site but I have to admit I was talking about Wikipedia itself, as that allows for inter-topic links instead of limiting it to the series itself. Thanks for your time in giving me a serious response though, and I'll see what I can do about adding some decent sourced material on Wiki. Cheers, Joncheetham88 ( talk) 20:19, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
Hunter Kahn: Yeah, I agree with what you say, the recent seasons of South Park have articles that are getting really good...I guess it's time to go back to the older ones which are looking a little sparse by comparison! Red Pen, not an accusation, example (again, with the focusing on HOW people say things, you need to work on that). Alastairward, not a complaint/ demand, constructive discussion. Thanks.

Butters dresses up as Professor Chaos, and Dougie dresses as General Disarray, both of which are the super-villain alter egos they first take on in the sixth season episode " Professor Chaos".

All, please stop removing the info under cultural references about the Airport Hilton, Ginger Kids, Tonsil Trouble, Bruce Vilanch and Harvey Fierstein. This is not simply fancruft; all of this is included in the A.V. Club source, which specifically refers to the "Ginger Kids and AIDS episodes". The Hilton is not named specifically by name, but is referenced with relation to those previous episodes, which is enough for inclusion. Vilanch and Fierstein are also specifically cited by name in the article. And more importantly, this information was screened through a GAN process and deemed worthy enough to stay in the article. — Hunter Kahn ( contribs) 22:09, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
This plot point is critical to the story and the current plot phrasing didn't illustrate this point clearly. I don't want to get into the speculation of who it is (why I didn't list the boys on Butters picture board) but the question of Who is Mysterion is in every scene from the news reporters story and the central goal in Cartmen's vendetta to eliminate Mysterion. Hopefully this wording will qualm any more objections from the fans. I made as active a voice in the wording as I could; someone could check my grammer, plz.
Did some more bulky sentence streamlining, adjusted tenses and removed unnecessary ellipsis. Made the action sequence more active and added the police quip about Prof Chaos aluminum foil armor being impenetrable (hee hee)(I absolutely loved this episode for Butters rulz and it brought me out of Wikipedia retirement just to edit this page)
I'm not saying that Butters is correct in saying that Mysterion is from Mr. Garrison's class but it is what happened in the plot. Alatari ( talk) 16:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Mysterion himself said to Kyle "Ive come to you as your the smartest kid in class." Again pointing to the fact that he is in Garrisons class. Not the smartest kid in YOUR class, but the smartest kid in class. —Preceding

Remeber Clyde was tired and falling asleep in class? ( 75.119.234.110 ( talk)) —Preceding undated comment added 17:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC).
What in God's name is this, a forum? Please kids be grown ups. This is a page for discussion about the article, not aboput THe Coon or Mysterion Sickboy3883 ( talk) 09:43, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
All, please stop removing the info under cultural references about the Airport Hilton, Ginger Kids, Tonsil Trouble, Bruce Vilanch and Harvey Fierstein. This is not simply fancruft; all of this is included in the A.V. Club source, which specifically refers to the "Ginger Kids and AIDS episodes". The Hilton is not named specifically by name, but is referenced with relation to those previous episodes, which is enough for inclusion. Vilanch and Fierstein are also specifically cited by name in the article. And more importantly, this information was screened through a GAN process and deemed worthy enough to stay in the article. — Hunter Kahn ( contribs) 22:09, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
This plot point is critical to the story and the current plot phrasing didn't illustrate this point clearly. I don't want to get into the speculation of who it is (why I didn't list the boys on Butters picture board) but the question of Who is Mysterion is in every scene from the news reporters story and the central goal in Cartmen's vendetta to eliminate Mysterion. Hopefully this wording will qualm any more objections from the fans. I made as active a voice in the wording as I could; someone could check my grammer, plz.
Did some more bulky sentence streamlining, adjusted tenses and removed unnecessary ellipsis. Made the action sequence more active and added the police quip about Prof Chaos aluminum foil armor being impenetrable (hee hee)(I absolutely loved this episode for Butters rulz and it brought me out of Wikipedia retirement just to edit this page)
I'm not saying that Butters is correct in saying that Mysterion is from Mr. Garrison's class but it is what happened in the plot. Alatari ( talk) 16:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Mysterion himself said to Kyle "Ive come to you as your the smartest kid in class." Again pointing to the fact that he is in Garrisons class. Not the smartest kid in YOUR class, but the smartest kid in class. —Preceding

Kevin didn't show up in the next several episodes; was he in jail? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.86.156.73 ( talk) 14:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
It's Kenny 81.68.255.36 ( talk) 18:39, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
It's Kenny indeed as we find out in season 14. However, this info should be removed as the article is about the episode 02 season 13 ONLY. Any spoiler from the next episodes can't appear in this article. Most people visiting the page have just seen The Coon and they're going to watch The Coon 2 afterwards so don't ruin the intrigue. That sucks and that does it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.175.189 ( talk) 12:48, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
This phrase: "Cartman now perceives that he, the Coon, is the "super hero" in South Park and that every town should have a Coon like him." goes straight to the heart of his narcissism and is what he states. Alatari ( talk) 04:38, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
Edited plot to make all references state 'The Coon' as in the one and only Coon. Otherwise we could remove all the 'the's because we wouldn't say 'the Batman' or 'the Superman'. Alatari ( talk) 08:07, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Cartman wanting to franchise The Coon to other towns is part of the lampoon of comic book industry. Alatari ( talk) 08:32, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
