Revision as of 06:33, 4 November 2005

It should be noted in the Music section that Trey Parker (and maybe Matt Stone; I'm not sure) was previously a music major at his university in Colorado before dropping out to film Cannibal! the Musical.

I changed "Token Williams" to "Token Black" as he has been called more than once in the show. Most recently in the episode involving the Chinese mafia. - Kugamazog

But isn't "Token Black" used to describe the fact that he is infact the "token black" in town, much like Chef? Sean WI 04:32, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There are a few things here which I think needs to be proved with facts. Did Comedy Central really decide to stop showing South Park during summer? Also, did they actually digitally take Blame Canada out of the movie and replace it with O Canada? I'm not ignorant about the show, and I think I would have heard about this stuff had it actually been done. Kaishin 14:27 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Dunno about the former, but the latter is definitely false: I own the Canadian DVD and Blame Canada's intact. (I've fixed the page.) JoeNotCharles

Blame Canada was chosen for an Academy Award nomination because it was one of the few songs that had a title without profane language

Who claims this? And does this make sense as an explanation? Does the Academy have an explicit profanity-avoidance policy? --Ryguasu 22:00 Nov 17, 2002 (UTC)

It does make sense. Best Song nominees are performed live on the television broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony. The Academy would therefore be loathe to nominate songs whose very titles cannot be spoken without censorship problems: they will gladly bowdlerize lyrics in order to perform them, but they can hardly do that when they are reading the nominees names ("For Best Song, the nominees are Uncle Bleeper...???) -- Someone else

It makes sense, but is it a known fact? I mean, I don't think the person who made that claim knew for a fact that that was the reason they chose the song, and is therefore a conjecture, or an opinion at the worst, and doesn't have a place in an objective enyclopedia of facts.

Better phrasing would be, "Blame Canada was nominated for an Oscar for best song, perhaps because it was one of the few songs in the movie without profanity and therefore suitable for broadcast.

Holy God, check out the What Links Here page. Gnome appears eight times. What's that all about? -Branddobbe 04:50, Jan 31, 2004 (UTC)

Moses is described here as a 'fiery dreidel,' yet his appearance is actually that of the Master Control Program from the movie TRON.

I question deleting the line about South Park not being cancelled. If someone is reading the article, they might NOT know that it was still on the air. --rp

The awkward sense of double negative in the sentence was what justified its demise. The positive sentiment of the sentence being, "South Park is still going (or going strong) as of 2004," the sentence would have to be phrased in that sort of straightforward fashion to survive successive WP editing. --Gary D 19:44, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I am editing this comment in the "Trivia" section:

Prior to South Park's genesis, Stone and Parker collaborated on the movie Cannibal! The Musical, a Western satire similar to South Park. In addition, they have released two other feature-length films: Baseketball and Orgazmo.

They did not "release" any feature films. They merely starred in BASEketball, written & directed by others. --Feitclub 19:03, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)

They released Orgazmo:

Directed by, Written by, Starring, Produced by, Music composed by, and Edited by Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

I'd say that qualifies. Oh, and same deal with "Team America".

The whole politics of South Park is a somewhat rediculous notion. I would contend that as many liberals watch and enjoy the show as do conservatives. There is no evidence supporting this and the term South Park Republican is not widely accepted (evidence: ). The author argues that the term is not inherant to the show South Park. Libertarian bias does exist in the show, but not republican bias. The idea of South Park Republicans is mentioned almost exclusively by Republicans. If this is not modified I support a notice of bias on this article. Flying Hamster 00:12, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I disagree - although I am quite liberal and love southpark, I do notice that they are more conservative than liberal. There is no point in getting into a left vs right vs liberterian argument here, but assumming that liberterian is independant of left/right (becuase SP is clearly liberterian). My reasons lie in the fact that they mock liberal values much, much, more than conservative values. They show liberals to be idiots who are wrong. They show conservatives to be rednecks, but not wrong. I am not saying that they back Bush (I don't know anything about this) but judging from the show alone, I refuse to believe that they are anything left of center. 69.136.234.155

I'm going to go ahead and delete both liberal and conservative as "spokespersons" seems to say enough without showing bias toward one side or the other.

I'm deleting the statement about the show only being aired once a day; there are at least a couple of nights a week when two episodes air, and first-run episodes fall into the block of programming that Comedy Central reruns two hours later on the same night. Not to mention the conflict the frequent showings of the movie would have with this "rule."

I have high doubts about the "no South Park in summer" statement, although it would be interesting if it were true. -Hedgey42 17:09, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

If PBS shows it, it'll definitely be TV-Y7 FV. -- Anonymous

Jesus vs. Frosty

The link at Jesus vs. Frosty leads to a page that describes it identically to "The Spirit of Christmas", and doesn't match the description on the page. I don't know which is right, so I'll leave the edit to someone else, and also drop a note on the other page.

Are the creators Republicans? If its not well confirmed maybe it shudn't be part of the encyclopedia. I have little idea as I live far far away in India. But my objective is to bring to notice that part of the article to others who can more objectively analyse and judge.

Braniff

What exactly is the deal with the Braniff logo at the end??? Lee M 01:34, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Very good question! :) Cburnett 01:43, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

says it's the name of their production company and the jingle is from Cannibal the Musical Cburnett 01:45, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

says (under April 23, 2001) that they needed a logo for the end of the show, so they used Braniff since they were out of business and no one probably needed it. Cburnett 01:49, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the info. Possibly worth mentioning it in both the South Park and Braniff articles. Lee M 01:43, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Picture of South Park Characters

This is a question for anyone who knows the answer. For a pictureof the four main characters, the description says that is how they appear in eight of nine seasons. What season did they appear different? What did they look like? Chaz 16:48, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I think it is because Kenny wasn't a main character during 6th season: "Leopold "Butters" Stotch (replaced Kenny as a main character during the first part of the 6th season, though Kenny was brought back for the 7th season; has been prominent ever since)" and "Tweek (replaced Kenny during the second part of the 6th season, though Kenny was brought back for the 7th season)" (cited from South_Park#Major_characters). -Fred Bradstadt 16:55, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Terri Schiavo and the PSP

Just a query: What on earth does the PSP have to do with Terri Schiavo?

In real life, nothing. But in the epsiode "Best Friends Forever," which parodies the Schiavo controversy, a lot.

Kenny dies after he gets run over while playing a PSP. In his will, Kenny left his PSP to Cartman. After Kenny got a feeding tube, Cartman led the fight to have it removed, claiming Kenny wouldn't have wanted to be on life support. Of course, the truth is, Cartman just wanted Kenny dead so that Cartman could keep the PSP. Meanwhile, Kenny uses a PSP in heaven to control God's armies in their battle against Satan.

Reference to israeli cartoon MK-22

To my opinion as an Israeli, the refference to the israeli cartoon 'MK-22' (under "see also") is inappropriate. This cartoon had only 6 or 7 episodes which aired about a year ago. Naturllay it's not in the South Park league when it comes to commercial success, inovation and overall importance. There must be hundreds of shows like this around the world, and mentioning it here appears to me like very undignified, cheap publicity. Lior.

Who are the Harrisons?

I don't recall anyone in South Park with the surname of "Harrison". Brittany 22:17, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
