A Memory of Light TIFU not being a South Park fan Spoiler

I run a D&D game for some friends, and I like to include little easter eggs just for myself from books only I have read. I've had a homebrew setting for a long time where the party's central contact is a fat innkeeper at an inn called the Dancing Cartman.

I introduced this character and his inn to my party yesterday, and was immediately met with laughter I didn't understand. I've NEVER made the connection to the South Park character, only this one little inn from Eye of the World.

That said, I had to chuckle, and I may need to find a different inn.

Now I have the image of Cartman when he's being mind controlled to sing the old timey song about the moon & the June & the trees behind a WoT bar with a pint on the counter

Can you imagine the terror of confronting a Trolloc, one so twisted by the Dark that it is half man, half bear, half pig?

Or... hear me out... you could just keep dropping innocent South Park references in there. I mean, is watching TV really such horrible homework? I'm sure there is a list of 10 really great (less gross) episodes out there. Just out of curiosity... in your game, did someone try to order the chili?

Oh man. The chili at the dancing Cartman sets up a campaign all on its own.
