[edit] Snowclone status

Would someone add a bit to this article about how the 3-step system is a snowclone? A lot of people use the phrase 1. foo 2. ??? 3. profit! 128.158.145.51 16:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I did it myself! 128.158.145.51 16:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Snowclone Source

From the article: "The three-step business plan alludes to a recurring joke (and a snowclone) on websites like Offtopic, 4chan, Slashdot, Digg, and Fark."

I don't recall ever seeing this snowclone on any of these sites before the Underpants Gnome episode aired. Can anyone confirm that this episode is the source of the phrase, and not "alluding" to it? 72.1.197.234 15:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Four steps

Usually, in the snowclone, four or more steps is used and several question marks are added, as such:

  1. Get a gun
  2. Become an hero
  3. ????
  4. PROFIT!

However, this can't be sourced. :/ 90.231.13.132 20:13, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No longer on air

Why has this episode been pulled from reruns on the air on Comedy Central? It hasn't aired in years. Has it been removed from broadcast, like "Jared Has Aides" and "Pip"? AndarielHalo (talk) 18:38, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't know, but on the original website, you can see all episodes without censorship or something (but with annoying ads). --> http://www.southparkstudios.com --91.16.125.50 (talk) 14:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WoW Reference

The Dranei male makes a joke where the second step is skipped and he says "Something is missing" or something. Clearly a reference to the Underpants Gnomes.PokeHomsar (talk) 08:53, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
