Production
In the DVD commentary for this episode, Trey Parker states that this episode was made "just to rip on Russell Crowe" after he and Matt Stone had an uncomfortable incident with the actor. According to Parker, he and Stone were invited to Crowe's house to listen to and give their thoughts on the demo tape for his album. However when they arrived, Parker claims there were a handful of Crowe's friends there, and the "Demo tape" was, in fact, a complete album, and Crowe simply wanted all his friends to listen to the album in its entirety. During one of the songs Parker offered a suggestion to improve one of the songs which apparently didn't set well with Crowe, which led to this episode. Despite this however, Parker and Stone claim there are no hostile feelings between them and Crowe. Crowe has since publicly stated that he enjoyed the episode and even contacted the duo to congratulate them on the success of their movie Team America: World Police. Parker also stated that Crowe was "a really cool guy" and "a very talented actor", the latter referencing how bad he and Stone secretly thought the album was (Which Parker described as Bon Jovi meets Hepatitis B)
