I quite liked this movie. Finally seeing Kenny for the first time without his hood was a revelation.
Why the hell, no pun intended, is Gandhi in hell?
I especially like what happened to Bill Gates, and the way that Chef got round 'Operation Human Shield'.

Blame Canada!

Whoa! Im surprised there is even a board for this movie! Considering the way Matt P. took the SP board off of the video game boards and there is no Simpsons board...but let me enjoy this board while it lasts...
Ghandi was in hell because there is a VERY limited number of people in heaven...note the population sign as Kenny ascends to heaven...only to be denied access...Anyone know where I can get a fuller version of the "Little Boy you're going to hell" sung by one of the metallica guys? I'm going to a concert with Metallica and Kid Rock on my birthday and I am totaly psyched!!!! :-)
This movie makes a lot of good points...mainly how the MPAA will *itch and complain about movies with cuss words...but its perfectly all right for a ton of blood.
Anyone have any info of the new Scary Movie? It looks funny as hell and a spoof of Scream and I just love scream so i think it'll be pretty good.

Dan: It wasn't Metallica singing that song. It was MAtt and Trey's band D.V.D.A.

And please, don't ask me what it stands for. You won't like the answer.

This was the funniest movie of last year, and the best musical, and it has also helped me in many a tricky situation. I mean, now, whenever I have a dilemma, I have only to think "What would Brian Boitano do?" and it's all sorted. This movie has changed my life!

My favorite parts were the references to Les Miserables. My best friend and I were the only people in the theatre laughing at those references, so we felt ever so superior and snobbish. :0)

I loved the movie.

Brian I am very curious to what D.V.D.A. means. I know that curiouslity killed the cat, but i would really like to know. I hope the system won't bleep it out.

Oh, and by the way. I was laughing so hard that i fell out of my chair watching pats of this movie. One scen that comes to mind is the Terrance and Phillip song.

I also liked the way they did the rap version. A lot of people said that the film was ••••, but I disagree. It's maybe just that South Park is 'maturing', if you can use that word, and the humour is starting to become more subtle.
I mean look at the episode that was a parody of one of the episodes of the original Star Trek.

Mark: OK, Snob-boy. What were the Les Mis references?

Meg: Here goes. Double Vaginal, Double Anal.

The musical style of several of the songs was a direct reference to Les Mis -- particularly the big chorus number that grew out of 'Les Resistance'.

The singing voice of The Mole was obviously meant to call to mind the singing style of most of the tenors who have been cast as Jean Valjean through the years. The voice was actually so much like one particular Canadian tenor that I checked the credits to see if it was him. (He plays Valjean on my best friend's recording of the Toronto cast of Les Mis.)

Basically, everything in the movie that involves Les Resistance is a direct or oblique reference to Les Mis.

Well surprisingly the name wasn't as bad as I thought is would be.

I liked the end where Cartman's V-chip goes on the fritz and he can shoot out lightning bolts form his figners like teh emperor from Star Wars.

Douglas I agree. The episodes have more sublte humor I should say. I loved the episdoe where they parodied the Episode "Dagger of the Mind". The guy that ran the Planetarium even had the same outfit as the Doctor in that episode.

I laughed harder watching that episode than any other.

I can also see why they parodied Les Mis. Trey Parker is a huge Les Mis fan by my understanding.

I couldn't remember the episode name, that's the one. Did you also notice the episode where the school bus was hanging off the cliff and a kid stepped out and got eaten by a monster. The kid was wearing an original series Red Shirt.

There's been a lot of episodes that parody Star Trek. There was the famous "plane_arium" episode which followed completely the plot of "Dagger of the Mind". They even used Trek music (which brings up a nit - the Vulcan mind meld music they used was first scored for "Amok Time", a second season episode; "Dagger of the Mind" was first season so that music was not heard in it.) Then there was the episode where Stan fell in love with that girl who was home schooled and he gave her the same "points of light" speech that Kirk gave to Shanha in "Gamesters of Triskellion". And then there was the Halloween epsiode where the "good" Cartman with a beard appeared from the alternate universe. This actually parodied two TOS episodes - "Mirror Mirror" and "Whom Gods Destroy" (the latter the finale in which the real Cartman persuades the others to shoot the alternate Cartman by using Kirk's tactic telling them to shoot both of them and then saying "Ha! Ha! I knew you guys would fall for that!"

Meg:

I kinda thought they made of Dragonball Z with the way he looked...just me perhaps...

Douglas:

The title of that episode is something like "Bus on the edge of forever..." Icant remember if its bus or something else but the title is a take on the star trek ep "City on the edge of forever"

One of my favorite scenes is the after the South Park kids have seen the Terrence and Philips movie. There they are in school and simultaneously they start singing, "Shut your f*cking face, Unka F*cka..." I crack up every time I see it.

When Cartman blasted Sadam, it was very similar to Dragonball Z, both in the animation style and how the characters in DBZ usually call out the name of the attack just before they do the attack.

Another Trek parody: In last nights SP, the one with the boys getting in a "boy band", thereis one scene in which Kyle's dad yells "NO! NOOOOOO!" and then smashes his head into a china cabinet. What's really funny here is that they actually used the sound clip from the movie so make the voice!

I was watching that episode while i was cleaning my room. For a moment I actally thought that I was watching First Contact because I only heard the tv.

Also another Trek parody. In the episode "Damien" where Jesus fights the devil, Kyle tries to give Jesus a pep talk and mentions, "don't try to be a great man, just be a man," quote from First Contact. Jesus even asked who said that and kyle says, "you did."

Kyle later mentions that it was something he heard on Star trek.

I've been on the Internet Movie database and this is what I've found.

It says that south park spoofed these things in the movie. i haven't found them all.

Oklahoma

The sound of Music

Patton (when Kyle's Mom is talking to the crowd during the USO show)

Disney's The Little Mermaid

Disney's Beauty and the Beast ( I would assume at the beginning of the movie. It sort of reminded me of the beginning of Beauty and the beast)

ER (when they are trying to save Kenny at the hospital)

Les Mis (La resistance)

Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Disney's Hercules

Titanic

Star Wars Episode I (yousa people gonna Die?)

I have no idea where the others are involed can anyone help?

Nooooooooooo! I neeeeeeeeed to post a messsage about the South Park movie. I'll put it here.
In a post of mine already there, I mentioned the things that the movie parodied or stole from other movies. One of them Mentioned is Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." I Think I found where the similarlity is. It is in the music. The same music from one of the touching moments form Hunchback is palyed when kyle tried to convince his mom is wrong for fighting all of these causes. I think the music is the same. can anybody back me up on this.

Also I think that the Parody of the Little Mermaid is Satan's song. Ariel dreams of going to the surface, so does Satan.

I think "Quiet Mountain Town" is the "Sound of Music" parody. But as I've never seen "SoM", I'm only guessing.

"Quiet Mountain Town" is a parody of Beauty and the Beast. However, it can also be from Sound of Music. The meadow scene comes from both.

-- Why the hell, no pun intended, is Gandhi in hell? --

Could be based on a theory that he had selfish motives, was wanting public admiration, or something like that.

Oh, wait it's South Park. Probably just to offend people.

I spotted the kid getting killed in the traped on the bus episode wearing the Trek redshirt, didn't know the title was a reference though - did Ch4 have the titles on screen? and that explains alot about the plane_arium episode - that's another ST:TOS episode I missed - throught I'd manged to see the complete 1st series at least.

Another Trek parody/reference (I think it's in the episode where they're learning about the stations of the cross) - one character (sorry uit's been awhile since I've got to watch an episode) quotes Spock on the needs of the many being greater than the needs of the few..(or the one - not sure if SP included this part) as the words of Jesus - I recognised the quote as from The Wrath Of Khan but for a brief moment - (until the other character pointed out that he'd got the two mixed up again) they actually convinced me that Trek had borrowed it from scripture :-)
(back when I saw the film the first time at 12 (back in 92) religion and sci-fi were my main two interests & I made the connection between Spock's "death" and Jesus's - wonder if that was intentional by film's writers/makers? - sorry if this should be on the TWOK board)

re: Gandhi - is the films version of Heaven open to all&no religions?

What about George Burns? Why is he in hell?

He did play the Devil once.

Yeah, but he played God three times. Shouldn't that rate him a spot with some of those naked babe angels?

-- Why the hell, no pun intended, is Gandhi in hell? --

It could have been a jab at the Christian idea that no matter how good you are if you are not a believer in Jesus you will burn in hell.

Yeah, but he played God three times.

Perhaps playing God is sacreligous.

God schmod, I want my monkey-man!

I just rewatched this movie. Here's a nit I found: It's during the war scene, Mr. Garrison has asked Cartman and Kyle to take care of Mr. Hat. After arguing with Kyle about his being a Jew ("But I am a Jew!"), Cartman notices that he still has Mr. Hat. Eric throws Mr. Hat away and says, "What the hell am I doing with this?" The problem is, Cartman has that V-chip in his head which prevents him from swearing. Yet, in that one instance, it does nothing. And yeah, I know, the V-chip starts acting screwy around that point. But it still reacted whenever Cartman swore. This time, it did nothing.

Gandhi is in hell because as a later episode of South Park reveals, only Mormons go to heaven.

Gandhi's in hell because it's South Park. Unexpected stuff like that pisses people off. And probably makes even more laugh.

First you see Hitler. Okay that's expected.
Then George Burns. Ooooooooookaaaaaaaaay. Right. Whatever.
Then Gandhi. What the hell? Why is he in hell? What's he doing there... yada yada yada.

Gandhi is in hell because as a later episode of South Park reveals, only Mormons go to heaven
Or apparently, after you selflessly save the world even if it means going back to Hell. Or maybe Kenny has some Mormon in him.

So anyway, I saw this movie for the first time on Comedy Central the other day. Hilarious. I loved it.

The only part I wasn't the biggest fan of were the Terrence and Philip movie. They seem to be South Park's Itchy and Scratchy. Everything else with the two of them was good but the movie got old really fast.

Terrence and Philip are also jabs at South Park itself, since they are animated to look even cruder than the South Park characters.

Josh M: It was established in "Best Friends Forever" that Satan's impending war agaist Heaven forced God to loosen the entry rules into Heaven to reinforce his armies. Of course, nevermind the fact that Satan is less evil than Cartman in South Park, or that God is a Hippo-Cat Buddahist thing, or that Jesus hung around in South Park, or that South Park has openly dissed the Mormon orgin story in one episode (So, apparently Joseph Smith was telling the truth all along, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum) there is still an ongoing war between Heaven and Hell.

It was established in "Best Friends Forever" that Satan's impending war agaist Heaven forced God to loosen the entry rules into Heaven to reinforce his armies.

Yeah, that's true. But that's a while after the movie takes place.

Does anyone else find it odd that we're not allowed to talk about Simpsons here, yet no one seems to mind the odd South Park reference?

South Park was not target at small children, and was not on during prime time.

Phil had a beef with the way Bart was portrayed. Whether or not we agree with it, it's his opinion, his site, and his rules.

Either I missed it or there is no SP board for the show; if there is my apologies.

Aside from possibly the most recent ep, season 15 has been terrible IMO. I guess Matt and Trey concentrated too much on The Book of Mormon (has anybody here seen that?) than the show that made them famous to begin with.

In regards to Kenny dying all the time, that was actually explained in the Coon & Friends three-ep arc last season and I thought it was quite funny. If you haven't seen it and are interested it's free on comedycentral.com
