Parker commented, 'We're going, That's fucked up. Jillette was originally planning to do an episode of Bullshit! based on Scientology, but Showtime prohibited him from doing so to avoid the possibility of legal action from the Church of Scientology. However, the decision to ultimately produce a South Park episode satirizing Scientology was partially inspired by the friendship the show's creators have with Penn Jillette. Parker stated that Isaac Hayes' membership had previously kept the show's creators from writing a full-episode which parodies Scientology. Parker and Stone have acknowledged that this is meant to be a reference to Scientology. They had also made fun of Scientology in an earlier episode, entitled 'Super Best Friends', in which David Blaine formed his own cult, called 'Blaintology'. Travolta, along with his fellow Scientologists, was depicted as a Psychlo, as he appeared in the film Battlefield Earth.

The MTV short was entitled 'The Gauntlet' and included 'John Travolta and the Church of Scientology' arriving in a spaceship to defeat Russell Crowe (as a Gladiator) and attempt to recruit the boys into Scientology. South Park had previously parodied Scientology in a spoof at the 2000 MTV Movie Awards.
