Several aspects of both "Go God Go" and "Go God Go XII" pay homage to "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", a science fiction adventure television series produced by Universal Studios. Richard Dawkins and his book "The God Delusion" is also parodied. Parker and Stone were very pleased with the work of the animation staff in regards to the designs of the scenes in the future, particularly praising them for accomplishing so much in the short amount of time that a "South Park" episode is produced.
