I always wondered why Matt Damon was a target in the movie Team America World Police, and even Damon himself questioned the unusual portrayal... "MATT DAMON!"
@MyHarrietHarper What concerned Matt Damon about his portrayal in the film is that it made him think, "Is that how people in the industry perceive me?" That's why it was so baffling to him (and pretty much everyone who saw the movie).
@@rustincohle2135 Everyone laughed at the joke because the PUPPET looked regarded. Everyone respects Matt Damon the actor and why wouldn’t they. You are being retarded.
When I was playing Sea of Thieves and they finally added the ability to name your ship, I named mine the Matt Damon, and we all exclusively just yelled "Matt Damon!" at other ships / players and it made for some of the funniest encounters I had in that game. We played to just silly troll people (and hunt actual toxic assholes, because nothing makes those idiots more enraged than a bunch of fuckin totally non-serious hooligans running circles around them) so the Matt Damon thing just elevated it. At one point I'd hidden on another ship with an exploding barrel they couldn't find, and they couldn't find me because there's an emote where you can turn into a plain wood barrel, so I turned my mic on, and would periodically say "Matt Damon!" and they were getting SO FRUSTRATED trying to figure out where I was. Went quiet for long enough for them to think I was gone, then I grabbed the gunpowder barrel, walked up behind one of them, lit the barrel, and whispered "Matt Damon." Dude screamed "NO!!" right before I blew him and their boat up. Later when we were about to hop off the server, we saw their boat again so we went hauling ass over to them, set our ship on fire as we approached, shot off a bunch of fireworks (basically a "friendly" + "we are hopping off" sign), yelling "Matt Damon!" through the megaphone, and all played instruments together on their boat while we watched my giant fucking sparkly gay ass rainbow unicorn boat sink (not joking, it had a unicorn mast that glowed with a rainbow). Left them some good loot because they were good sports about everything. Good times. Thanks, Matt.
This is my favourite part about the movie, specifically BECAUSE of the reason they made him handicapped. It's the funniest shit, and the croissant cobblestones in Paris arey #2. The movie is just a concentrated blast of such high desnisty fuckery it's a gift that keeps on giving.
I was in Iraq in '04-'05 -- those peak post-9/11 Team America years when the wheels were starting to fall off the "WMD+Liberation" wagon. It is an amazing and hilarious commentary on the early 21st century. (This is one of my kids logins, ha).
I really love the puppet they designed for him and the voice is just the icing of the cake, yet I also can admit I also don't understand why the joke of him saying his name like that. Yet my favorite scene is the endless 🤮 scene while the increidbly dramatic music plays on the background.
@@PAKallman actually that’s not how it works BRO. Its a computer algorithm that suggests something you’ll probably watch/enjoy. That’s why the same people tend to watch the same shorts and be in the same comment section on videos.
Ive met Matt Damon twice. Once he hated me .. red carpet in melbourne. I was yelling MATT DAMON the team america way. He gave me the worst look. I felt so bad.... Then a few years later.... 2020 i met him in a clothing store in Byron Bay -- told him how much of a legend Actor he was. I felt so bad the first interaction. The second one was lovely. He was so nice
Trey and Matt always had a thing against actors. They made it perfectly clear on one of their "mini commentaries". And for the record they really should have used "Mark Wahlberg" if they were going after one note performers.
I have just seen a video where they said that Mat Damon’s script was originally very charming, witty and attractive, but they decided to change it because the puppet was not in harmony with those characteristics. Instead of remaking the puppet, they decided to change Mat Damon’s script. Lol
I think celebrities are well served when they don’t take themselves too seriously. If they get insulted are satirized, the best thing they can do is laugh it off, at least to the public. Back when Team America was made, Matt was in a lot of films, perhaps the only reason they went after him was he was a ripe target.
thats funny for the reason behind that decision and great how he has a great sense of humor about it. something some celebrates should handily when being made fun of.
Matt and Trey weren't making fun of these actors and their stance against the war in Iraq. What they were mocking was the arrogance and egotism (as well as the hypocrisy and ignorance) many celebrities (including the actors lampooned in the movie) oftentimes display. The "we know better than you, because we are better than you" crowd is what they, and the audience, were laughing at. Something that seems to have gone over these people's heads including Maaaaaatt Daaaaaaamon...
There was actually an interview Or when he just simply stated his name instead of answering a question Matt Damon came out of his face that’s where they got it from I think
Friends of mine decided to get this movie thinking it was for kids the mother was out doing the dishes and the kids absolutely were killing themselves laughing before she got to remove it as quick as you could
More a dig on Affleck than Damon. I mean when they got nothing to make fun of you for this is an easy attack. But ignoring Affleck and knowing how mad it makes him makes the entire joke for me
I think people should stop getting so worked up over *South Park & Family Guy & Robot Chicken* ESPECIALLY over political debates. U gotta understand the enjoyment side and the fact that there all animated meaning U can defy ANY natural laws as much as you like including people's emotions where U need to learn how to laugh at yourself anyway I think Matt Damon should try laughing at himself when it comes to the team America puppet version of himself
Nope. I thought it was because around the time the movie came out Matt Damon had made a public statement that he was classically trained thespian whereas most actors just got there by their looks and DSL.
Matt:"they are geniuses, they must have a great reason"
The real reason:"the puppet looked retarded"
After fortune favors the brave Matt Knows why they made him retarded
No. Because the sculpted puppet head looked "retarded". That's it. I was there. Trey said it. Done.
@@whatsursourceNo. Because the sculpted puppet head looked "retarded". That's it. I was there. Trey said it. Done.

MATT DAMON!

Matt..........Damon🤤
His finest work
Damn, I was gonna post this. 😢
Lol that sounds very Southpark, no need to waste a perfectly good puppet, just adapt the script to him.
They’re the creators of south park as well
The minature weapons cost more than real life guns, they had to limit the budget somewhere.
I don't know why but the back of the DVD case saying sex involving puppets just made me laugh
😂
"Tell me your movie was directed by Trey Parker without telling me your movie was directed by Trey Parker"
They should have got Matt to go to the opening night but only say nothing but "Matt Damon" as he walked down the carpet.
Oscar acceptance speech: "Matt Damon."
The crowd goes wild.
He could have really seized on this and come out as funny and down to earth
Matt Damon sounds really hurt by this. It’s a puppet, man! It’s not actually you! A puppet!!

@@DefconDelta88 LOL 😆 That's awesome.
My mom has de seen the movie. Even she says "matt Damon" the way the puppet says it XD
Its literally like when kyles dad becomes an internet troll, everyone thinks theres some malicious plan behind it, but he says " its just funny" 😂
The puppet came out looking off…the rest is history.
And it’s made even funnier by the fact that the real Matt Damon was so confused by it. Lmfao
The neck snap at the end 😂😂😂
Fucking kills me everytime 😂

Never go full Matt Damon

Matt Damon was like Timmy Timmy
TIMMY!
😂😂😂
Livin' a lie!
Nah,Timmy n Jimmy are pure Genius for comedy!!💯👍
I revisit this movie at least 5 times a year since 2004

It came out looking weird so they did his voice dumb?! These guys are truly the best 😂

Well sht dude i think anyone would act like a dick if they shouted their name in a rtarded way at them. Glad to see he's a good sport about it though
Hollywood has become the SODASOPA of the old Hollywood
Matt Damon looked like Willem Dafoe... 😂😂😂😅😅😅
Best not to take anything too seriously.
The pain in his voice though ........
He’s very insecure😢
I swear I always knew it was done random ass reason 😂😂😂
I’m hoping to have a movie in theaters with Matt soon so I can just say Matt Damon like that when he appears on screen.
Best movie ever. Im so rornery
How do you like THEM APPLES, Matt Damon!?!?!?
Matt Damon should've got an Oscar
Matt.....Stone
MAH DAYMUNN
Fighter of the Nitemunn.
South Park🫡 always legendary 😂🤣😂💯🔥🔥🔥
I missed 5 minutes of the movie after that happened because i was fuckin crying laughing.
I’m so glad to have grown up with this. Once they put out an article explaining this I almost died 😂
If only they used the concept of a post credit scene and showed the puppet one last time with its neck snapped to give off one more “Matt… Damon.”
Haha it's so mean. Pretty funny though.
Matt Damon self owned himself.
I always loved that. It was in fact genius.
Trey and Matt always had a thing against actors. They made it perfectly clear on one of their "mini commentaries". And for the record they really should have used "Mark Wahlberg" if they were going after one note performers.
👍 Mr. "If I had been on that plane on 9/11 . . ."
That’s very clear with the “Film Actors Guild”
I don't think going after Mark Wahlberg in 2004 would've made as much sense
Is there anyone who doesn't IMMEDIATELY think of this movie whenever Matt Damon's name is mentioned??!
“Fortune favors the brave” Matt Damon
I thought they were taking a subtle shot at good will hunting.
Matt Damon
Matt......Damon.
My favourite Matt Damon quotes was MATT DAAMOON!
Such a funny movie one of my favorite 😭😭
How do you like them apples. Matt daaaayyymon!!!
I was JUST talking about this at work yesterday and now this pops up 🤣

I don’t know what the reason is. I just feel it😂
I didn’t realize you were British until you said “Damon”.
MATT DAMON!
They saw Matt as a special ed person. 😉👍🤣
Guys, this is crazy interesting. Every time I hear him affirm “I am Deimos” I hear “Matt Damon” (ala South Park)….I Am Not Afraid.
When films weren't pc great times
Matt Damon's a great actor tbh
omg that's so funny I always wondered this lol
You couldn’t get away with this nowadays in 1984, I mean 2024…
Loooved this movie!! Loved Matt Damon too 😂
Can't believe one of the greatest jokes in this movie is the result of a manufacturing error 😂

Matt Damon's best role. I think Matt is closer to this character than he is to a math genious janitor.

the answer is literally in the video you're commenting on.
This might be the best thing ever ...
aged like fine wine
I'm sure Matt is a smart guy, for the most part. Until he said fortune favors the brave.
The whole reason why they did that is because they pipe came out messed up 😂😂😂 I’d have loved to drink beer and play Nintendo with them in high school
Mett day-mihn!!
It was because the puppet looked a little “slow”
Friends of mine decided to get this movie thinking it was for kids the mother was out doing the dishes and the kids absolutely were killing themselves laughing before she got to remove it as quick as you could
Jimmy Kimmel approves of Team America!
And now, they've made Matt Damon consume piss. Matt Damon is in, are Urine?
Myaaattttt!!!.....Dyaaaayymin!!!! Lol !!!....

Me too 😂😂 "ah, derka derka derka"
@@pauliewalnuts5241 top gun actor
I like you hairy man, you have balls I like balls 😂😂

shut it you bot
