This came out a few weeks after I got back from Iraq, and it was the funniest thing I had ever seen. It hit the mark so perfectly. On my second tour, we had Team America, and Super troopers on almost a non stop loop. It got so bad they had to ban the use of Derka on the radios as it had become part of military lingo.
I went through IET in 2007 and this movie had permeated even basic training. Someone would say "America" and we would all just go "Fuck Yeah!" One solider in our platoon didn't understand it as he had never seen the movie. When our Drill Sergeant found out about this he brought in Team America and made us watch it on a Sunday afternoon so everyone would get the joke.
So the people the movie was making fun of got more of a kick out of it than the rest of the normal people? That's kinda sad. Thanks for your service though.
@@ninetailedfox579121 I actually think the movie makes the best case for American military intervention. We're dicks, sure we fuck too hard and sometimes the pussies get all sore and bent out of shape. But dicks also fuck assholes, and if we don't fuck these assholes then our dicks and pussies will get covered in shit. It recognizes that America isn't perfect, and sometimes we have a ridiculous heavy hand and over the top reaction. Hell, sometimes we even have to clean up the problems with military action that we caused with militaty action. But we also keep the world safe, and take the action that the pussies are not willing to take because they are too busy writing a letter from the UN saying how angry they are.
My buddy convinced me to go with him to the theater to watch Team America. I remember watching the opening scene with the garbage puppet and terrible backdrop and thinking, "What the hell am I doing here?" And then I witnessed cinematic gold. Thank you Matt and Trey.
I laughed so hysterically at both the vomit scene and the sex scene I thought I was going to be thrown out of the theater. I never expected to be so delightfully amused.
If one thought the sex scene and Sean Penn + Film Actors Guild couldn't get more cringe, just go look what Sean did some days ago to Zelensky of Ukraine 🤮
I'm seeing you everywhere now, this is the 3rd video in the last 20 minutes that I've seen your comment. I'm just going to start saying Hello as if you were an old friend. "Hello." P.S. I love your products and am a subscriber to your channel. I thank you sir.
@Dirk Diggler Aww you're adorable. I'm gonna guess you just recently memorized that phrase, since being an epigrammatist is most likely not your natural talent.
The world needs people like Matt and Trey. They hold a mirror up to society, and clearly don't give a damn who they offend. Anyone and everyone is fair-game.
You would think that Trey and Matt would have become egotistical Hollywood hacks after the early success of South Park, but instead they ended up being the smartest and most principled satirists in the last 20 years. They are absolute legends.
@@laurocoman that statement is literally the definition of smug. Trey and Matt became nothing because, much like Jordan Peterson or Gwyneth Paltrow, their fanbase is just a self-fellating cult that promotes them as a way of backslapping themselves for how smart and superior they are over the normies. It’s always amused me how they decided to start a grudge with Seth. SP is just as formulaic, especially during their whole libertarian / quasi alt-right phase of cashing in on gamergate incels by attacking celebs and liberals. The irony being nobody smells their own farts more than straight white men insisting they’re not snowflakes because they’re willing to recycle racist and homophobic jokes from the 30s and 50s. In the end, Trey and Matt weren’t much different than Howard Stern. “Good” because they were raunchier and more crass than the completion, but once the competition matched their race to the bottom, their actual talents weren’t enough to keep them relevant. Now they’re just The Simpsons of basic cable.
Assuming you think things like vomiting, puppet sex, and anthropomorphic poop are funny. Trey and Matt are good satirists, but their humor is so juvenile that I can't enjoy the satire.
It's the series' name. I believe it started out focusing on movies that had extremely troubled productions which mostly showed in the finished film, and then branched out from there a bit. I guess Team America counts as a "troubled" production though.
It's a really dumb title for this series of videos. Every time I see it I immediately think "what do you mean what happened?" It's a movie. It was released. People watched it. What do they expect would happen? Should the movie still be in theatres 20 years later? What?
It was definitely a troubled production for Matt & Trey, they had the most stressful year of their lives trying to make this movie and still putting out two seasons worth of South Park. They said they would never make a movie like Team America again. That said, I saw the movie in theaters, even own it on VHS. One of the greatest movies of all time!
"And now all I'm trying to say is Transformers sucked and I miss you" (Me and my friends discovered this movie during summer 2010 at Blockbuster, back when Michael Bay's Transformers was relevant)
Watched this in the theater with my older brothers opening night. It was fantastic. It was an almost full theater. About 1/3rd of the audience were so offended they got up and left. Another 1/3rd just stuck around and noticeably didn't get it, and the rest of us, just couldn't stop laughing the whole way through.
I kinda get that. This was at a time where American patriotism was still in full swing and after years of the Bush administration scandals. People were pretty divided over the war in Iraq and there was very much the sentiment of support the troops because terrorism... even when there were serious doubts about the legitimacy of the war. Man, that feels like forever ago yet its still feels relevant to this day. Just glad the world moved on from that heightened sense of fear (well, until 2020,, heh).
@@thebuccaneersden It's all shifted from one fear to the next it seems. Terrorism, financial collapse, socialism, shootings, the "end of democracy," Russia, Covid, etc..... It's all just fear to keep people controlled and nothing really changes.
I saw it in the theater with my firefighter friend. We almost collapsed from strained lungs due to laughing so hard. Everyone else was laughing too short I don't know about who may be offended. Bought the DVD when I could and still have it today.
The whole production process for this movie is incredible. I'd honestly have been content with them getting some sort of special achievement Oscar, as I can't imagine something like it ever being made again.
Hilarious movie, it shows the genius of those two. Even when having a miserable time they still make a hilarious full length film that has songs we still sing to this day.
As much as I love the verbal gags, I am frequently laughing at the visual gags even more. The Kim Il Sung statue gag is so good, I legitimately laughed uncontrollably and it wasn't even supposed to draw a big laugh out of people. Also, the montage of Gary prancing around Washington is beyond genius. My god, the movie looks like a gritty 70's movie all of a sudden but you have this derpy looking puppet prancing about? My god, what a comedy gold! Also, Derka Derka. Mohammad Jihad.
I will never forget. I was 12 and my sister was 7 when my parents thought that this is children movie and we watched it together. I still wonder how we didn't got damaged but this is one of the movies we talk till this day. :D
I am amazed and respect your parents for allowing you to continue watching this after the horror began to set in HAHAAA! Or maybe they were laughing too hard to turn it off.
@@angelarch5352 We all just laughed. Thing was my dad had a rent a dvd/vhs store in that day and he had recommend it to so many people back in the day before he even watch it because he saw. Oh puppets, must be for children. :D Those were good times
That's cute kid, have you heard of the 80's? I'll give you a hint, movie ratings didnt mean shit to parents lol. That was a joke btw, funny story and I can see it happening.
Man I wish I could go back and watch Team America for the first time again, I laughed so freaking hard, I couldn't control myself, but even though I've watched the movie a bunch of times, I still laugh every time! I'm going to have to watch this again now, it's been at least 10 years or more since I've seen this, so thanks JoBlo!
I LOVE this movie so much that I absolutely had to own it, which I now do. I first saw it in the theater and I laughed so hard, at so many parts, that I had to clap my hand over my mouth, so as not to disturb others in the audience. 🤣 To this day, I still feel that it was absolute genius to use marionette puppets as characters. I have no idea how many times I've watched it, over and over. My ribs still hurt from the vomiting scene in the alley. 🤣 This is one of the best satire-laced movies I have ever seen. Well done! 🤣
About that NC-17. I saw way too many parents bring their young children to see Team America in the theater. Those kids learned more in 5 minutes than they had in their entire lives previously.
I did commercial white water raft retrieval in the Grand Canyon for a lot of years. When sean penn filmed the river portion for into the wild,the production hired myself and my manger to go up get the crew and equipment. Sean's agent got ahold of us the afternoon prior and and told us," Sean's out of his American Spirit's, cranberry and vodka and needs you to come up tonight". My boss looked at me and asked, what was the last good movie sean was in? We both said Team America at the same time. We went up,loads of debauchery. Drinking, drugs, swinging partners. Which is normal for river folk anyway, just more whinging than usual. But we did talk with Sean and I made sure to tell him,I loved you Team America.His face told he didn't appreciate the joke,my boss laughed so hard he got up and walked off.And at one point we put on some Madonna albums somebody had on their iPod
One of the best in my book. I stopped watching the Oscars when this film didn't even get a music nomination. "Montage" is one of my most-hummable tunes. Think I'll go listen to it now!
Both have said that making this almost killed them and that there is nothing in the world that would ever get them to make another movie with puppets ever again.
Saw this in the theater with my best friends. Non stop laughter. Best moment was when my friend called my other friend a "butt f*****g quitter" right after it was said on screen.
@@Rhythmattica who really gives a f*k about the "academy awards" in real life anyway? Oscars show is viewed as an overblown shitshow by anyone with any brains.
This was made when people had a good sense of humor back then compare to the type of audience today. Do people also recognize how great of a musical talent Trey and Matt are?
It's a miracle this movie exists I have seen it countless times over the years, it could never be made today, me and everyone I know still quote it even nowadays.
I was in the theater opening weekend. There were probably 20 other people at the show aside from my friend and I. Half the audience walked out either muttering about puppets or the movie being un-American. Never forgot that
@@thomaskuklinski-rhee2275 I think these guys would get death threats if they tried to release a movie like this in the modern climate we call 'Murica. There's still people I know who find Freedom isn't Free to be 100% anti-American. Sad.
@@Noplayster13 Believe what I want? I saw 10 people walk out angry about puppets and/or feeling like it was in bad taste. I don't *believe* that, I *saw* that. Nobody brought up conservatives either. Calm down.
@@natecw4164 I don’t recall being upset, but thanks :) You probably aren’t aware of this, but the use of “‘Murica” is typically used as criticism of conservative culture. FYI, most people are going to assume that’s who you’re mocking when you use the term. I’m actually pretty surprised that you didn’t know this. People likely walked out because a puppet throws up actual vomit for 3 minutes straight and then gets told to suck another’s dick within the first five minutes (also, lots of jokes about AIDS). That seems to be a more likely reason than some good natured hyperbole of US foreign policy and culture.
The minute he started talking about Matt Damon, I started laughing out loud. When he got to the part about how pissed off Sean Penn was, I started crying laughing.
Spotswood's chair sliding past was priceless. My favorite part of the movie is how he'd just randomly move around in a chair. The clarvouyant lady and the cat scene also got me so good. I remember seeing the house cat when I was sitting in the theater and being so surprised.
That’s actually a reference to the film “Thunderbirds Are Go” where you never see them walk and they frequently move around unnecessarily on chairs so they don’t have to film them walking which always looks goofy with marionettes.
“You are werthwess, Areck Barwin!!!!!!” This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are geniuses and have the biggest balls in entertainment That being said... I stopped watching South Park 10 years ago because the show just isn’t as funny as it once was
@@flip7081 What season should I start on... I remember rarely laughing through Season 13 - 15 so I just stopped watching. What season should I pick back up on?
Fcuk that fcuking Snobby Snooty Film Critic Roger Bastarding Ebert.. And the Arsehole wouldn't know about delightfully raunchy 100% gut--busting hysterically laugh out aloud Deliciously funny comedy films similar to Team America World Police Rated 15 certificate..
I remember seeing this at the movies with the boys and I was still crying laughing like 20 mins after the scene happened, when he leaves the bar, ugly old lady in the window sees him, and was like "Get off the street you foking bum!" classic.
This is the funniest film I have ever watched at the cinema. The scene when the music played and Team America shot out of Mount Rushmore to America F..k Yeah...The whole cinema erupted.. popcorn and drinks everywhere...will never forget it. I laughed that much I thought I would have to my seat because my ribs hurt... Absolute masterpiece!!!!
Hope this experience gave Parker and Stone a greater appreciation of Gerry Anderson and his work; which included pioneering the 'Supermarionation' process. Weekly series Thunderbirds, Fireball XL-5, Stingray, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet, Supercar, among others, as well as two Thunderbirds movies were done successfully, over 50 years ago.
I'm all for equality and change. But as usual, too many take it too far and get offended cause they want to. That's why I love comedians and satire, can't take life too damn serious.
Anyone can be American. Hitch a plane there and get on a program and take the pledge of allegiance. Or, apply for dual citizenship. Then, technically you may utter so but really though lol.
Much an amazing movie and not one you ever forget. I had seen Matt and Trey talk about this before and how difficult it all was but I sure do appreciate the finished product.
I would love to see a Team America 2 ,especially with all the political stuff going on today. But the guys would rather see their family be threatened than do a sequel.
This movie was, and still is, an absolute work of pure, satirical genius.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the best comedians this world has ever seen, freaking geniuses!
Wait a minute - are you saying Team America was satire???
It was documentary.
I know truth when I see it.
ABSOLUTELY !!!

Trey and Matt are masters of subtle innuendo - see also their video game South Park: The Fractured but Whole
This movie features what is arguably the greatest and most epic vomit scene in the history of cinema
I was in my early 20s back then, and I cried when I saw that scene in the cinema. I mean, properly cried, to the point that I couldn't see the screen.
I think "stand by me" is still the king of that. It's the only memory I have for when I was four. 🤮
Sex scene as well
it was during that vomit scene when I thought, yep, I gonna have to see this movie again next week.'
Where I saw this movie at had some bad popcorn, so that night I had my own epic puking in the bathtub.
This is by far my favorite movie

@@jc.1191 r rated movie with Muppets, a lot of fun
"I promise I will never die"
Gary?
I was walking along the fence at the gorilla enlosure.....you know acting
I read this using the voice, with the sun setting behind me
@@xombieboyxero Please Gary im not from hollywood im not going to fuck your mouth and my time is extremely valuable “
My coworker, who is twenty years my senior, and I constantly quote this movie. I'll call him up and he'll reply "can't see how f*ckin' busy I am?"
WHY DID YOU SKIP OVER BASEKETBALL
Ya tell them
great movie, but they only starred in it. no writing, no directing, so i can understand its omission.
@@jivesideproductions really???
Because ultimately its not their movie & they hate it...
@@seemslegit2412 Its someones else's script however once they were signed on to do it the Director let them improvise but thats it...
I had no idea they made "That's My Bush!" and I love that show.
"One of these days, I'm gonna punch you in the face!"
One of the best in my book.
I stopped watching the Oscars when this film didn't even get a music nomination. "Montage" is one of my most-hummable tunes. Think I'll go listen to it now!
Easily one of the funniest movies ever made...
WTF happened? It was amazing, that's what happened.
PS Pearl Harbor SUCKED.
F*ck yeah! 🎶
Indeed. And indeed. ;)
Pearl harbor sucked, and I miss youuuuu. Lol
But not as much as Ben Affleck.
@@filipeamaral216 lol true
Saw this movie days before my first deployment to Iraq. Oooo the thousands of miles flying down the road on MRS Tampa screaming "AMERICA FUCK YEAH"!
Sold out at Balad in like 5 minutes
I watched this with my elderly Mormon grandpa when it came out and he laughed so hard at the movie I will never forget those memories .
The opening where the puppets fight had me in hysterics.
Still a great movie to watch every now and then. would like to se another like it but you know the Film Actors Guild would not allow it.
We need a sequel asap
"You could threaten to kill my family, and I would not make another puppet movie." -- Trey Parker
Both have said that making this almost killed them and that there is nothing in the world that would ever get them to make another movie with puppets ever again.
We seriously need another movie even if its a new concept made by Matt and trey
If they were gonna do it I was sure they'd do it during the Trump presidency.
For 15 years I've been saying that. To make better Kim Jong Un would make a better character than his dad was.
I saw this in a theatre with like 12 other people. We were all laughing hysterically. Only odd silence was when Gary blew his boss.
And with that creepy puppet look in the eyes...yike.
One of those endlessly rewatchable movies, it'll never get old.
Saw this in the theater with my best friends. Non stop laughter. Best moment was when my friend called my other friend a "butt f*****g quitter" right after it was said on screen.
"MATT DAMON!"
- Matt Damon
I liked the bit where he said that.
@@MandleRoss I liked it too... But I think he didnt keep up the intensity the other times
@@Rhythmattica I felt he was going for a more nuanced performance with that.
@@MandleRoss Yes... Yes... Incredibly and emotionally delivered .Totally Shunned by the Oscars board... Despicable.
@@Rhythmattica who really gives a f*k about the "academy awards" in real life anyway? Oscars show is viewed as an overblown shitshow by anyone with any brains.
This was made when people had a good sense of humor back then compare to the type of audience today. Do people also recognize how great of a musical talent Trey and Matt are?
Never before has such great compositional power been abused so heavily.
Fuck yeah.
Well they got an Oscar nod for The Movie, and Book of Mormon won 9 Tonys and a Grammy. I’d say it’s recognized.
Matt and Trey did, and still do, the one thing that today's "entertainment" is too afraid to do: make you laugh and think.
It's a miracle this movie exists I have seen it countless times over the years, it could never be made today, me and everyone I know still quote it even nowadays.
"I've got 5 terrorists going south east on Bakalakadaka Street!"
I was in the theater opening weekend. There were probably 20 other people at the show aside from my friend and I. Half the audience walked out either muttering about puppets or the movie being un-American. Never forgot that
Wow! Do you think it would be different today?
@@thomaskuklinski-rhee2275 I think these guys would get death threats if they tried to release a movie like this in the modern climate we call 'Murica. There's still people I know who find Freedom isn't Free to be 100% anti-American. Sad.
@@natecw4164 Except.... most conservatives actually love the movie. But believe what you want :)
@@Noplayster13 Believe what I want? I saw 10 people walk out angry about puppets and/or feeling like it was in bad taste. I don't *believe* that, I *saw* that.
Nobody brought up conservatives either. Calm down.
@@natecw4164 I don’t recall being upset, but thanks :)
You probably aren’t aware of this, but the use of “‘Murica” is typically used as criticism of conservative culture. FYI, most people are going to assume that’s who you’re mocking when you use the term. I’m actually pretty surprised that you didn’t know this.
People likely walked out because a puppet throws up actual vomit for 3 minutes straight and then gets told to suck another’s dick within the first five minutes (also, lots of jokes about AIDS). That seems to be a more likely reason than some good natured hyperbole of US foreign policy and culture.
Well Joblo (Dave Davis), I'm glad that you have gotten back on track since the WTF HAPPENED TO Ghostbusters (2016) debacle.
And when he heard about TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE? Gerry Anderson started laughing, and Laughing, and LAUGHING....
I knew nothing about this movie when I saw it in the theater. I just about had a freakin' stroke laughing, just couldn't get over how funny it was.
The minute he started talking about Matt Damon, I started laughing out loud. When he got to the part about how pissed off Sean Penn was, I started crying laughing.
Spotswood's chair sliding past was priceless. My favorite part of the movie is how he'd just randomly move around in a chair. The clarvouyant lady and the cat scene also got me so good. I remember seeing the house cat when I was sitting in the theater and being so surprised.
That’s actually a reference to the film “Thunderbirds Are Go” where you never see them walk and they frequently move around unnecessarily on chairs so they don’t have to film them walking which always looks goofy with marionettes.
I finally got to see the uncut version years after the theatrical cut.......OMG, It's awesome
“You are werthwess, Areck Barwin!!!!!!”
This is one of my favorite comedies of all time. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are geniuses and have the biggest balls in entertainment
That being said... I stopped watching South Park 10 years ago because the show just isn’t as funny as it once was
Watch the Pandemic Special and you'll be back
Newer seasons are actually pretty incredible. Highly recommend. Definitely different than it was a decade or longer ago though.
We will be very very angry with you...and we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are! 😂😂
But the inclusion of story continuity has made it all the better. The story ark of Tweak and Craig alone is worth watching.
@@flip7081 What season should I start on... I remember rarely laughing through Season 13 - 15 so I just stopped watching. What season should I pick back up on?
I had almost forgotten about "That's My Bush"! The best sitcom parody ever devised!!!
Roger Ebert was a snob who didn't get any jokes that weren't explained to him.
Fcuk that fcuking Snobby Snooty Film Critic Roger Bastarding Ebert..
And the Arsehole wouldn't know about delightfully raunchy 100% gut--busting hysterically laugh out aloud Deliciously funny comedy films similar to Team America World Police Rated 15 certificate..
you mean the same guy that said The Terminator would have been a better movie if the love angle was explored more in-depth?
I remember seeing this at the movies with the boys and I was still crying laughing like 20 mins after the scene happened, when he leaves the bar, ugly old lady in the window sees him, and was like "Get off the street you foking bum!"
classic.
Omg could you imagine Team America vs Xi, they could just use winnie the pooh 🤣.
Yesssss!
@Dirk Diggler you mean Putin riding a bear while one handed shooting a mosin nagant....
You just know that Xi would have the same caricature look that Il did, but he would be pantless and in a red t-shirt the whole time.
I have only one thing to say about all this:
Matt Damon.
Matt Damon approves.
I agree
Great timing "UA-cam"! I too have been wondering just wtf happened to something I never even knew existed.😜
I was the same as the exec during that opening scene. Genuinely thought "I won't be able to watch this"
Turned out to be rib cage strainingly funny
I still bust up laughing every time I see Gary get handed the hammer
I genuinely cracked up just reading this simple description of that moment
The first time I saw this I almost coughed up a lung. It's genius.
I just wanna thank Matt and Trey for their hard work and getting this movie made. It’s a sure 1hr plus of laughs. Matt Damon
This is the funniest film I have ever watched at the cinema.
The scene when the music played and Team America shot out of Mount Rushmore to America F..k Yeah...The whole cinema erupted.. popcorn and drinks everywhere...will never forget it. I laughed that much I thought I would have to my seat because my ribs hurt...
Absolute masterpiece!!!!
Hope this experience gave Parker and Stone a greater appreciation of Gerry Anderson and his work; which included pioneering the 'Supermarionation' process. Weekly series Thunderbirds, Fireball XL-5, Stingray, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet, Supercar, among others, as well as two Thunderbirds movies were done successfully, over 50 years ago.
Amazing film, one of the greatest acts of parody, full stop.
More than anything I want a sequel. The modern SJW offence industry needs a take down.
For the very fact that Matt and Trey vowed they would never make another puppet movie, they should absolutely make another! :D
@@angelarch5352
Slip some acid in their drinks and just ask them... ;)
I now agree, there really ARE 3 kinds of people in this world... ;)
I'm all for equality and change. But as usual, too many take it too far and get offended cause they want to. That's why I love comedians and satire, can't take life too damn serious.
Yaaaaaaasss!!
I was laughing all thru this movie. They captured the Zeitgeist of that time with humor and creative genius.
Man, these two are so funny in every aspect of the stuff they do and say.
Alec Baldwin's puppet getting shot to pieces has a weird feel to it now
“There are three kinds of people...” - all of human history and todays global political climate explained so a child can understand it 😂
Arguably one of the best monologues in movie history
Dicks, Pussies and Assholes!
They are words to live by.
They ended up making "the day after, the day after tomorrow" an episode of South Park in the end
It was the day before the day after tomorrow in South park
@@samtagg8754 it was 2 days before the day after tommorow. Aka the same day :D
That's right not seen it in a while!
BEST DVD THAT I EVER ADDED TO MY COLLECTION !!!
I remember watching this in the cinema and laughing so hard I was in physical pain.
At 500k plus subs you are still underated. Thank you for ypur hard work Mr. Jo
These guys are LEGENDS
We're making fun of you.
Penn: WAAAAAAAAH!!
Clooney: Awesome.
Tim Robbins: Can i have my Puppet?
Matt Damon:
Sean Penn was always one of dick heads who likes to dish it out but can't take it in return.
I wished I was American so I could sing
'America, fuck yeah'
authentically.
make your voice really deep and then say it.
Anyone can be American. Hitch a plane there and get on a program and take the pledge of allegiance. Or, apply for dual citizenship. Then, technically you may utter so but really though lol.
@@Hammi4Real America! Fuck, yeah!
As an American I can honestly say the authenticity of uttering “America, Fuck Yeah” is vastly overrated.
@@flip7081 That's why I say it in a mocking tone. A lot of Americans no longer take any pride in being American.
The first scene with the crappy marionette, just for trolling the execs (and perhaps the audience too) is pure genius
absolute quality,me and my mates still come out with some of this stuff at least 5 or 6 times a year.amazing
Team America we miss you....... more than Michael Bay missed the mark..... when he made Pearl Harbor!
"Matt Damon!!" - Matt Damon
Greatest love scene ever brought tears to my eyes
Ever watched that puke scene in reverse? Pretty intense comic gold 🤣
Much an amazing movie and not one you ever forget. I had seen Matt and Trey talk about this before and how difficult it all was but I sure do appreciate the finished product.
"You gave up on life didn't ya" I lost it when I heard that part
I would love to see a Team America 2 ,especially with all the political stuff going on today. But the guys would rather see their family be threatened than do a sequel.
Maybe they would consider an CG animated sequel but I doubt it
Matt Stone and Trey Parker said that a sequel wouldn't be made, because working with puppets during the production was harder than they imagined.
“Magnificently raunchy” is not how I would describe being shit on.
I never got the "Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" until now.
It was hysterical. I actually fell off my couch laughing so hard a couple times. Ebert was thick headed.
