Editing Chinpokomon (episode) (section)

==Bonus Factoids==
===Pointless Observations===
* Trey Parker is a Japanophile and studied a double major in music and Japanese during college. Thus, the Japanese names and dialogue in this episode are pretty accurate. The only exception is when Stan calls Mr. Garrison using the suffix -''san'' when Stan should address teachers with -''sensei''. 
* Mr. Hirohito was played by Trey and Matt's Japanese college friend and animator Junichi Nishimura, who also supplied the narration for Trey's college short film ''American History''. Junichi is referenced as the small Asian boy in "[[Jewbilee]]".
* Hirohito was the name of the actual 124th Emperor of Japan. However, the real life Hirohito died 10 years prior to the airing of this episode, succeeded by his son Akihito.
* Cartman shows off his ability to play guitar in this episode, as he sings on the sidewalk for people to give him money for more Chinpokomon.
* We see two live-action commercials for toys developed to subvert the Chinpokomon phenomenon: Alabama Man, a plastic doll which spends a lot of time bowling, drinking and beating its wife; and Wild Wacky Action Bike, "the bike that's hard to ride!"
* In Japanese, ''chinpoko'' is a colloquial term for "penis". The "mon" in Pokemon is a contraction of "monster" (''Pokemon'' is short for the original Japanese title ''Pocket Monsters''). As a result, the phrase "Chinpokomon" means "penis monster".
