In traditional French playing cards, the Jack of Diamonds represents Hector of Troy, the legendary Trojan hero from Homer's Iliad.

The correct answer is A - Eric Cartman's greatest act of revenge was making Scott Tenorman eat his own parents (a chili con carnage plot). This is one of the most notorious South Park episodes. Options B, C, and D are minor retaliations compared to this extreme revenge.

Asterix and Obelix's Birthday: The Golden Book is NOT an adaptation of The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. They are separate works - The Golden Book (2009) was a special anniversary album, while The Twelve Tasks (1976) was an animated film. This is a common confusion but they are distinct works.

The Asterix series does have 34 main comic stories. The first 24 were by both Goscinny and Uderzo (until Goscinny's death in 1977), and the subsequent 10 were by Uderzo alone. This count is accurate for the main albums in the original series.

In South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Wendy and Gregory were two children who did not see the Terrance and Phillip movie.

In South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Mrs. Broflovski has a 'V-Chip' implanted in Cartman's brain after catching him swearing. The V-Chip delivers an electric shock whenever Cartman uses profanity. This device becomes a running joke throughout the film and actually helps Cartman in the final battle when his swearing generates electrical attacks.
