George R R Martin on South Park

- George R R Martin is asked about he and his characters being parodied in general, and himself by South Park specifically. Recorded on Feb 28, 2015, during a Q&A session at the Nacogdoches Film Festival.
I've seen countless GRRM interviews where he's asked about his 'A Song of Ice and Fire' books, or the 'Game of Thrones' show on HBO, as well as his many other works and shows he's worked on. The question posed here was about how he feels about he and his characters being parodied on SNL and South Park, which I thought it was a unique enough exchange that it was worth sharing. Enjoy GRRM, being GRRM.
I wasn't recording with UA-cam in mind. As a result, it was recorded vertically rather than horizontally.
I was in attendance as a guest, I do not own the material presented, thus this video is presented ad-free.
You know he's an OG fan when he brings up Streisand.
yep first season, i was a kid when i first saw the episode... good times
To be fair, he might have picked it up from the new Mecha-Streisand.

God I loved that episode the giant Kaiju fight at the end is hilarious
I'm a booby man from beginning to end

*is met with roaring applause*
What a fine time we live in.
@@Deshrake Fuck it, i love this timeline.
What a Chad. You know he shoots down nerd chach on the regular.
A word to live for
Lurker M it was cool until Death came knocking on the decade.
"I'm a boobie man from beginning to end"
A true man of culture
That's why he'll never be the best.
I bet Tolkien was an ass man.
The fact that he got all defensive over the wiener part is proof that he's obsessed with wieners.
Good god, the man has the mouth of a sailor.
@@mephilatian he's got the hat of a sailor too
@@MrMuttly55 and sailors are notorious for ......
George RR Martin has taken being on South Park better than any other celebrity, and its awesome.
Kanye west took it really well,he actually joked about it in his songs
So did Lorde
Add Cesar Millan to that list as well! Also, let's not forget every celebrity that voiced themselves!
Plus Russel crow and Richard Dawkins seemed to take it all in good stride as well as a few others I can't remember currently.
@@EpicMinecraftFail kanye is still pissed about south park lol idk what you're talking about.
@@ispartacus1337 what are you talking about, has he even mentioned it in the past couple of year's?
You gotta be able to laugh at yourself. And George takes it all in stride.
We Humans are pretty petty and laughable in general.
"George takes it all in stride.
"
Phrasing...
@@JJDvorshak you certainly are
@@FoxGoesSquee Thank you.
I also do charity shows for no-kids-left-behind.
Be sure to invite me to your meeting next time I'm over there.
I gots smileys for you kiddies.
@@JJDvorshak yuri
thanks to South Park I can't watch the beginning of GoT without hearing the SP version
Jason Strickland I think that makes it even better when Game of Thrones is comin on. lmao
Weiner weiner weiner weiner weiner!
weiners floppy weiners flopping flopping
same here
Same here, same for my girlfriend and she isn't even a huge South Park fan (and conversely is a much bigger GoT fan than I am). Actually, she starts singing it more than I do...(probably because she's obsessed with wieners).
"Horses have one quality, that is unmatched by any other motor transportation."
mode of transportation*
something about hearing George saying the word "boobies" makes me so happy
He really is such a chill dude, a lot of people could take offense but he just jokes around and writes his books, gotta love the guy
“And writes his books” is relatively generous at this point
He does, it just takes forever because he made the story too big, plus he also wrote Fire and Blood so that took time away from Winds.
Yeah, he surely jokes around. Not sure about the books part though.
What a good fucking sport. lol
Dakota Walker for real, george is
chill af 😂
weiner weiner weiner weiner weiner.
One weiner next to another weiner
Weiner's floppy weiners....
Two weiners alongside yet another weiner
Party, weiner party, weiner party....
Soft weiner! Nice and soft, non-erect! Weiner! Weiner-weiner! Weiner-weiner!
Good on him. Roll with the jokes. Trey and Matt hardly ever are mean spirited with their jokes unless the person is deserving
@ShrekLiveActionMovie420 yeah that was also funny
Like Barbra Streisand
@@kittyNya38 she got what she deserved
Exactly. Most the time they are deserving and trey and Matt lets them have it ol
@ShrekLiveActionMovie420 come out of the closet tom..." IM NOT IN THE CLOSET THO"
"My response to the south park episode is coming very soon, and its gonna be great. Its coming, i promise"
It's coming soon. Promise you that
It's gonna be incredible!!
The only celebrity who really didn’t get made fun of on South Park was Cesar Milan.
I dunno, they were pretty accurate to Mel Gibson too
They put OVER Robert Smith of the Cure.
James Cameron was more of a compliment then being made fun of.
@@davidsaylor7807 Yeah, this would be similar to the R R Martin's penis fascination. They just added it because it was funny.
Dog whisperer bloke?
George rr Martin saying wieners is the greatest thing ever.
booobees
Not gonna lie though, South Park's A Song of Ass and Fire trilogy is what got me into Game of Thrones lmao.
me too. I even watched a few minutes of season one on TV before but I wasn't into it.
@@95Tizian season 1 still feels like a realistic historical story, even though it starts off with white walkers, but you almost forget about em. I had read the first 2 books in preparation though so I knew what I was in for lol.
Still I wouldnt have picked the books up If south park didnt sell it to me so well lol
@Eddie R this profile pic is from 2013
And its longer now B)
@Eddie R if it helps I've shaved the moustache atleast lmao
I’m an ass-man myself but I respect the game. Good for him being so honest in today’s climate.
I mean, I like them both lol
@@haydeng3316 we all like both, but if you had to pick.
Booty Guys from beginning to end lol
@CJ P. It is not good sir. I don't mind a girl with flat breast, the butt is all that matters.
I'd prefer a big ass and no boobs over big boobs and no ass
“They were relatively gentle with me.”
Did he miss the scene where they castrate you?
thats gentle for SP standards
@@khhnator that's kind of gentle for his standards lol
RELATIVELY
"relative" is an important word here :P haha.
You're talking about he guy who does that kind of stuff to his characters. So yeah, it was soft. At least it wasn't a whole episode of him hiding in a closet
I still can't say his name without saying it how Butters does with the pirate "Ar Ar"
MaxAwesomeness GB lol
"George Argh Argh Martin"
lol
It's one of those idiosyncrasies that makes south park so funny. The overexaggerated "Argh Argh" stuck in my head for a long time after the episode 🤙🏾
finally someone that knows how to take a fucking joke .... its kind of an honour to be a south park character
Richard Dawkins was the same. They destroyed him in South Park but his only complaint was "they got my voice wrong" lol. Respect for that attitude.
"For very nearly three years I did not see or write to my lover... On the night of my 21st birthday I wrote again to your mother - Jan. 3, 1913. On Jan. 8th I went back to her, and became engaged, and informed an astonished family." - addressing his son, Letter 43 from the The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien
"I'm a boobie man, from beginning to end." - George R. R. Martin
I'm sure J.R.R. Tolkien was a boobie man too
To be fair, Tolkien's wife had some rockin awesome boobage...
He’s such a good sport about it. Extra credit for actually pointing out how they used to shit on Barbara Streisand too. What a legend.
Christobanistan Geniuses are for South Park..?
"Judge it by its size,
Rub it 3 times and it has a suprise"
When you write your books like your playing DnD with all your characters you have to just roll with it all. He's a really funny guy.
I saw what you did there lol
I love how down to earth he is about his parody. He’s definitely a good guy if he can take the joke and roll with it!
There is nothing more terrifying and respectable than an honest man.
George R. R. Martin: "anyone who knows me knows my addiction is boobies"
Also George Arr Arr Martin: *WEINERS FLOPPY WEINERS SKINNY WEINERS BIG OLD WEINERS*
Love how he wasn’t offended or anything like that
There’s something about the word “wiener” that always makes me laugh when I hear it out loud.
Kaguya-Sama, is that you?!? D:
It's an american thing.
"You know my actual obsession..."
girls: YEA WE DO~
I like how cool he was about it. Shows how much of a good sport he is
South Park does it again being a great show
Now everyone is going to be recommended this video...
I was
Are you a wizard? O_0
(I still think it's because I've just watched the wiener song, because it's been stuck in my head all day. *_Very_* inconvenient!)
yep
The pure honesty and complete lack of fear here just warms my heart.
Kudos to this guy for being such a good sport XD he took the jokes like a grown up, other folks could learn from this guy.
You know you’ve made it in life when South Park makes fun of you!
For all the books and the TV show, you only know you have truly made it when South Park notice you
And Weird Al.
Thats fuckin crazy to me.. He handled the whole south park thing alot easier than i thought he would 😂😂😂... He gave the best response that anyone could possibly give, to the way that south park made him look. I swear he studied this question beforehand lmao
Well considering the SP episode was in 2014 and this interview was in 2015 he probably got asked about it about 1000 times before this q&a. There's only so many ways u can answer the same question before u memorize ur best answer lol.
Well he is right they did go easy on him compare to others
Good on him for being a good sport about it.
I love to see when these people have a good sense of humor about these thing and don't feel triggered and feel like lashing out against someone poking fun.
*There's a rule the creators of South Park follow: if you take it well, they don't make fun of you a second time. If you take it personally, they will. Moral of the story: don't feed the trolls.*
I love how he says “they were gentle with me” like he was about to be robbed lmao
His Wiener song in German:
Schniedel schiedel schniedel schniedel schniedel schniedel schniedel schniedel, weich und schwabbel, schwabbel schwabbel etc.
His expression at the end cracks me the hell up LOL
*Meanwhile people ask Matt Damon thought on South park*
Matt D: Matt Damonnnnnnn
Only dude in Hollywood who seems to actually have a personality
God bless him. Absolute legend of a man.
Martin: says literally anything.
Audience: laughs.
Ha, he's a good sport. Good sense of humor
What a great guy
I was expecting him to be salty haha!
Raging Brainer He's a smart guy with a great sense of humour
Nah he understands nuance and the fact that we can all laugh at ourselves
Why would he? South park is a parody. No one takes it seriously
@@bern9642 Tom Cruise might disagree with that statement, he tried to sue the creators of South Park because of his portrayal on the show.
@@arvindshastry1178 lol...yeah tom cruise. I guess the scientologists don't mess around.
"I'm a booby man from beginning to end"
And now I will never look at GoT the same way again
Nice to know he's a good sport about it. :)
I think it’s safe to say that we all love this man
I will always respect celebrities that take a South Park parody of them like a good sport instead of throwing a temper tantrum.
Omfg. George. You just made me respect the hell out of you. Great view on a parody of one's self. Be flattered, not offended. There's way too much going on in the world and in the minds of Matt and Trey, so if they take the time to blow your ass up on a few episodes, you're doing it right.
It's more about Creativity with South Park
Which Saturday night live doesn't have
@Christobanistan
A men
i love this man
Handled like a champ
"Yeah it is!"
It's probably the greatest trilogy of South Park episodes they ever made
imagination land is up there too
What a legend
You know you've made it when your a target for South Park. Takes it as a compliment!
Awesome!
The only thing better than a great parody is when the original is a good sport about it.
And to date the GoT arc are among my favorite episodes of South Park.
What a trooper he went from marine to manager of beatles and to writing a grade a novel game of thrones unreal this man lived one hell of a life and he even acts like such a trooper even when people do skits of him god i love this old geezer i just wanna hug him 😝
uhhh....only one of those things you said he did is true.
manager of beatles!??!?!?
George was not manager to the Beatles... lol
He was their lead guitarist...
Rei Bob that was George Harrison
Love it when celebrities can laugh at themselves and not freak out about being made fun of on South Park
I love this man!
great attitude towards it!
Absolutely HILARIOUS that George ‘Argh Argh’ Martin discredited that he has an obsession with wieners😂😂😂😂 its amazing that he has enough of a sense of humor that he could recognize they went “relatively gentle” on him !!
Love how he says they where gentle on him
I love that he takes it with stride
South Park really missed the mark not making him the Booby Man.
Very few things could be said to this man that are more hardcore than things he's written into existence.
It’s truly amazing to see these famous people be good sports about them being made fun of on South Park. Much Respect to you George 👍
He has everything in his power to act the same as his parody, the pizzas are a metaform of "Winds of Winter".
"I'm a boobie man from beginning to end"
Yup. And I'm just gonna keep that tabbed....
In summary "no homo."
Such a good sport
Great stuff
Ahh he's a good sport
That Ghetto girl who shouts: "Hell yeah it is!" just made my day.
@Ooga Booga Shouting that , yeah
@Ooga Booga words not , Hell yeah it is is not. Is the context
@Ooga Booga ough, shut the fuck up
When you can take a south park joke like a champ you are a legend love you grrm
I always hate it when someone thinks their success entitles them to be admired by default so taking criticism in stride gets big marks in my book, and it shows they know they’re still human like everyone else so thanks George.
He knows how to deal with being made fun of: go along with it. If you accept the joke and participate on it it will either stop being funny or it can make both the joke funny and make you get respect for not being a kanye west or a tom cruise. lmao
Dude's like "Honestly they went easy on me. Also I guess they think I'm gay. I'm not but whatever."
Something so wholesome about this video

**processing** **trying to think of something funny or informative to say**
I’ve never watched anything this guy has made, but now I love him.
He writes, he doesn't make movies or anything people use his material as the source.
Legend
Love people that don’t take themselves seriously
George R.R. Martin: I'm a boobie man from beginning to end.
J.K. Rowling has been awful quiet since this guy got traction.
I don't get it.
Oh, the pizzas are definitely coming.
Gotta love Martin, he's always so witty and funny in interviews. Great sense of humour.
They did go easy on him. Most people they take the absolute piss out of them and it's funny
Y'know, I saw the South Park episodes before I ever watched Game of Thrones...Then when I finally watched the entire series about a year ago...even in all the nudity scenes...I don't really recall seeing that much "equipment". So I kind of don't get what South Park was on about.
Love his sense of humour~
The year is 2022, and nobody can take a joke without getting offended. Here is this man rolling with the punches and laughing about it. Fantastic!
I don't get this video it was uploaded by Alex Jones, but I don't have anyone yelling at me about Gay Frogs. I'm so confused right now.
DarkRaptor99 Different Alex Jones... LOL.
I was just being sarcastic. In my head it sounded funny
Oh it was funny... I lol'd.
In summary, George is sayin, 'I'm not gay, I swear!'
