Wow ok, i didn't really see the broadway of the mormon yet, but i might check it out. I mean, i'm not really interested on watching these kinds of plays, but i'll probably give it a go for once.
not for long, get ready to issue refunds for shows after Sept.
Is this on dvd yet?
I'm so glad that all religion is fake. Our primitive civilizations were just trying to make sense of the natural world, and it just spawned into controlling people through nonsense.
South Park Season 24 Episode 3 Please!!!😃
I grew up Mormon and this episode is scary accurate. EVERYTHING IS TRUE, the rice krispy squares, the family home evenings, the obnoxious niceness... ALL OF IT
Obnoxious niceness? I can understand gullible niceness but obnoxious?
@@d.j.cassidy1642 yeah I love being around nice people.

@@KingKogaDragonBossChampion - prostitution is just as real a job as an actor, song artist, or professional athlete. They all provide an entertainment service in exchange for money.
What I like most about this episode is how respectful it is about Mormons as people. Sure, it makes fun of the religion, but it never portrays Mormons themselves in a bad light.
Just a little bit dim and sanctimonious and annoying as hell.
So far all the Mormons I've met are great people. I don't care what they believe even if it is dumb. Nicest people on the planet man
We had some Mormons recently, coming from out of the neighborhood, attaching a pamphlet of Jesus Christ to everyone's doors. Im honestly not sure how to feel about it
@@diamondynamite Just bin it.
@@tardactual8791 maybe you haven't met Utah Mormon's then
I love how this didn’t turn into that tired old trope of “behind the curtains of a religious family” where they just turn mean and unhappy after the character “debunks” their beliefs, in the end they are a genuinely happy family who doesn’t hold any prejudice against other religions.
I had a mormon friend in high school. He was the nicest guy I had ever met. I had been abandoned at 13yo. I never knew families could be as nice as his was. I'm a little envious of Mormons. I respect any religion that teaches strong family values.
Sure, I can say they are crazy, but I'm the cynical person, while they're happily living their lives.
Yeah, having a firm grasp on reality isn't a requirement for being a nice, happy person. We could all take a leaf out of the Mormons' book, and maybe just toss out all the logic defying nonsense.
@@davespringer777 You should really look into what it means to be disfellowshipped by Mormons given your history of being abandoned as a child.
@@actually5004 That sure is a fancy word for "kicked out".
@@davespringer777 he's right though. Mormon families that have children who become disfellowshipped will shun their kids until the day they are old enough to be legally kicked out of the home. there's a few youtube channels that talk about it and have interviews with those who were disfellowshipped at a young age. It's quite brutal

Yeah... They couldn't even spell their name correctly . They put an " M " in the middle of the name by mistake
The way the mormon family sort of... DETONATED into the house is the most accurate thing of all.
Divide and conquer in their own home where they feel safe, classic trope of religion spreaders. That's why they come to your house. You feel safe.
“DETONATED into the house”?! 🤣👍🏼😜😂 Hilarious. Thank you!
Lol my childhood best friend was Mormon, we had his family over for dinner many times, and they always busted in together like a damn SWAT team.
Why do they do that
The gospel is that Jesus Christ (The Eternally Existing Son of God, God The Son, Savior, Christ) promises eternal life ONCE you believe on Jesus Christ alone, who died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the 3rd day! Once Saved Always Saved! Salvation can never be lost, you can't lose salvation!
I was raised LDS and this is one of the most accurate portrayals of Mormon people I've seen. The extreme niceness, the tolerance, and even the fact that they all kind of storm into your house at once is pretty accurate.
" extreme niceness, the tolerance," All to compensate for the dark history of their group. Read The Enchanter, available from Chick Publications. It's quite the eye-opening read into Joseph Smith's history.
@@rickoshay5525 if you read Chick Publications, you're just as dumb as the Mormons are bud
LSD church more like it
I live in Jackson County Missouri. There is a church in independence mo that has a chair on top of what looks like a ice cream twist and that’s where they say he will return and sit lol.
@@rickoshay5525 You can say any history of any people or group is "Dark" because most people alive today are descendants of warriors who genuinely did not care about weak people. Just look at Modern Europeans today who all come from the indo European people and literally wiped out the original farming people of Europe using war chariots, how you view that is an easy way to judge what racial caste you are from. If you think that's awesome you are probably (Bhramin, Kshatryia, Vaishya) but if you think thats dark and terrible then you are obviously (Sudra, untouchable).
I love how South Park mocks everyone equally.

When I was in college last year, a couple of Mormon kids were hanging out on the street in front of my dorm, and they started walking with me and my roommate as we were headed home, telling us about the wonders of Mormonism. We tried politely to tell them we weren’t interested, but they were persistent, telling us to check out some website, so we shook them off by telling them we were Amish transfer students and had no access to technology.

I've actually had them show up at my house. I invited them in, said something to the effect of "So let me make sure I have this right..." and then gave them all of the information I learned from this episode.
Come to find out that it's actually spot on...so much so that they seem shocked that I knew as much as I did. It really is exactly what they think happened. My brain hurts just knowing that's possible.

I've met alot of Mormons. Almost everyone of them was incredibly competent, intelligent, hard working, helpful and nice, but their religion makes no sense. I even tried going to their services and reading the book of Norman.

Seminary is like modern day brainwashing. Fuck that shit

And I can say, nothing here is exaggerated
You know the scary thing I always fear of a Mormon they become Joshua Graham the burn man that would be the scariest Mormon I would ever meet in my life even Caesar's afraid of him honest hearts was probably the second okay DLC for New Vegas.

My ex friend is a Mormon. We fell out over a year ago. But her family are really like the family in this episode. They are so kind and generous. The first time I met the parents. They made me dinner when I unexpectedly turned up to surprisemy mate(sort of dating at the time). I remember about a week earlier. I was with another friend and he asked if I go round for dinner would I prey with them at meal time. I said no f**King way as I was an atheist back then. But they spoke to me and said if I could just bell my head while they say grace they would really appreciate it. I was so taking back and surprised. There kindness even got me to say amen at the end. As I really liked these people from the first second I met them and wanted to respect them. This one Christmas they put all there money they was saving for christmas shopping in a pot. And they gave it to charity. And volunteered feeding the homeless on Christmas day. They are strange people to me. But that's not a bad thing. I think there strange as most people in the world are ugly and hateful. But i never felt like that with the mormons. I like to think I learned stuff from them and I am a better human being for it.
Agree re most of us :(
They are Christ like then? Something not mentioned here is how Jesus loving Mormons are, they are extremely devout and smart or maybe socially desperate enough to tone it down and hide it, idk but I know a lot of exmormons who just had more punk rock in them then their families wanted to admit and religious trappings can hide some ugly skeletons like all the Mormons accused of cheating or incest
Overall normal Mormons are some of the most kind people you will ever meet, my gf is exmormon and her family doesn't really talk too much religion besides grace for a big supper but they are all great people and my gf is incredible with heart of iron and roses 🌹

What are you now
This is actually my experience with mormons. I don’t agree with mormonism/religion in general, but they are 99% of the time very kind and helpful, and are extremely tolerant of every other lifestyle/religion. I don’t think they are true, but I don’t think they are bad either.
there's are billions of people who are "nice" and helpful without believing in a nonexistent person
@@sterlingmarshel6299 ok? My point is that my experience with mormons has been almost entirely positive in comparison to other religions. From what I have seen, Mormons are a lot more chill than other religions and are a lot less judgmental.

Love how Randy just agreed to being called "Stupid".
What I love about this episode is the fact Gary had the perfect counter to Stans points later on.
"Maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely make no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life and a great family and I have the book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people."
"You're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back."
People who attack religion should really pay attention to that.
You're exactly what this episode is describing.
Didn't he say "suck my balls" after that speech
You don't need religion to live like that though. Monotheistic religions do far more damage than good. Greed is by far the most damaging human tendency. Monotheistic religion is the social lever most often used by those in power to justify greed and its resulting violence. If you closely examine any conflict over "religion", what you'll see is the conflict is *really* about tangible things like land, minerals, water, etc.. In this context, monotheistic religion is simply a way to rationalize taking what isn't yours.

i think the most insane part of all of this is that the south park writers aren’t really exaggerating anything. this is real shit that they really believe, and the whole thing about being weirdly nice is also true. i’d know, i was raised mormon
This isn’t the only time they spelled out a Religious organization’s beliefs word for word in an episode.

Now I respect Mormons and what they believe, but I still laughed so damn hard at the family because I had a friend who's entire family was Mormon and that's exactly how they all looked like and acted like lmfao
But was is all an act?
@@saffrxn.999 it was, later when my friend and her family moved away I figured out that her dad secretly had drug and alcohol issues and her parents would fight and she would be too embarrassed to tell me about it because she had it in her head that she needed to keep up "a perfect image". Everyone isn't perfect and everyone has their struggles so I would of understood, I too come from a religious background and people sometimes don't see what goes on behind the scenes. I know not all Mormons are like that, what my friends family was like, so I don't judge. But it was for sure an act.
The fact that Garry is the only one that isn't smiling in the end really tells something
This episode makes more sense than all the years I lived in Utah.
I left that state far behind me yesterday. No one really cared in my family, but I knew that was going to happen.

@@naaapologist4789 Lol that hasn’t been a factor in more than a decade. It’s not an accident that Utah is one of the fastest growing states and that it also has the number one economy.

South Park isn’t my cup of tea, but it has its moments. This is one of them.

3:40 the lackluster way he rebukes Stan is just hilarious!
as a Mormon with 4 other siblings, yes, this is accurate.
joseph smith moment
I saw this episode when I was a kid, I'd never heard of Mormonism before then. This episode left young me with the message I think Matt and Trey intended: Yeah, Mormonism doesn't really make sense, but neither does alienating people over having different beliefs.
I had a good experience with Mormons. When talking to some of them for a college project I asked what they thought about sp and the musical and they were delighted and commented that it doesn't paint them in a bad light overall and that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
Ive seen some people like that in uni, they r always so positive to a point where it became creepy.
Being negative is frowned upon by plenty of Mormon families. Because bad feelings = feelings by Satan.

I love that the song syncs up with the mouths.
In my town we have a decent Mormon population and let me tell you they are unsettilingly friendly. I've never met anyone so upbeat and "Let's go!" attitude about everything as the Mormons. They're fun to hang around with but it still gives off that eerie feeling.

Stan's rant starts off pretty good, questioning and poking holes into a story. The problem is when he directly attacks the family for their personality. That's why the ending of the episode is so satisfying
People not caring whether their beliefs are true are dangerous. We don't need to apologise for finding that troubling or alarming. What _won't_ they believe based entirely on it feeling good? Meth makes people feel good. Some people are much nicer when they're drunk. Reality exists. And people who don't care about it don't live in it.
@@TagSpamCop That meth example isn't a very good one. Meth makes people feel good but is dangerous in the long run. Believing in a religion that doesn't always make sense isn't remotely like that. People being nicer when they're drunk doesn't make it any less harmful for their health. The point of the religious feeling good shit was that it helps guide them into living a healthier life. The actual specifics of the religion don't matter so long as it's able to help people live better lives and be better people
@@TagSpamCopWhile you're right that we shouldn't apologize for wanting our beliefs to be accurate, it's both possible and good to separate a person's beliefs from the quality of their character. Two good, well-meaning people can disagree on anything just for having different information, or even different ways of interpreting the same information (be it for better or for worse, no two people think exactly the same way). What Stan was doing in this episode is that he was allowing his genuine criticism of the Mormon family's beliefs to spill over into an unjust criticism of their character
@@TagSpamCopyou’re absolutely right. Blind faith is dangerous and scary no matter whether the outcome appears blissful or not. Ignorance is where manipulation grows

I wish you included the ending. I don't know much about Mormonism, but as someone who does not take any religion literally but accepts it as stories to make one a better person, I think Matt and Trey did more to help it than hurt it with this episode.
You have no idea how right you are.
I think that was the message of the episode, it was calling the religion and its stories stupid while respecting the beliefs. If they wanted to trash they would do what they did with scientology which is an actual fucking scam. They even respect Judaism and christianity despite a lot of jokes being made at their expense, like jesus using guns and the devil being gay.
Matt and Trey have gone on record to say how much they love Mormons many times. I am Mormon and love this episode. The ending of the episode was their collective thoughts on the religion. Also jokes and humor are the highest form of flattery!!!

On the bright side several years ago two random Mormon guys came up to me in the middle of an Arizona summer and unpacked my moving truck ^_^
You can't believe everything school tells you - The best quote and it's so applicable these days.
"Well you can't believe everything school tells you"
So true.
yeah like when america teaches that there was peace between the native americans and the pilgrims
@@L4ck0Ski11 it lasted until the natives started dying a lot
Well thats because out of the entire world, American public school system is in the top 20s.
Well behind other nations even small city states like my country Singapore.
@@Fishmans sheep
@@Fishmans actually you're completely wrong. It satirized the opposite. People who blindly believe whatever state-run institutions tell them like a religion so much to a point they'll criticize and exile anyone who thinks differently. Following the scientific method is divine & good research methodology. Blindly following anything a guy in a white coat at the CDC says because it conforms to the beliefs you want to be true (like state-run education is infallible) turns science into a fanatical religion, no different than the Mormons. Matt & Trey are such satirical geniuses that that joke has a double pun -- for both parties. "Question EVERYTHING" -- George Carlin.
These Mormon folks are kind, thoughtful, and generous. As a family, they play games, play instruments with one another, sing to each other, and offer their resources to needy people. They are genuinely caring and empathic to the ills of the world. Just what the hell kind of psychopaths are we dealing with here???
Mormons are psychopaths. They are also stupid
Have u seen Under the Banner of Heaven yet? That will show u what lies beneath the surface
Just dont ask the older and more traditionalist ones what they think of african americans
@@ShitboxFlyer i know. I saw a clip once about how Mormons were taught to be racist bc people of color either sided against God or did nothing during The Great Angel War
Yeah well I don't know what you're getting at, if it's sarcasm or whatever. But you do know doing nice things in exchange to get into heaven does not come from a place of sincerity right? You dumb a**. That's their thing, they're disingenuously nice because they want something in return. F*cking morons get swindled by a con artist religion and believe in heaven. Wait till they find out they've been nice their whole lives and heaven doesn't exist 🤣 I love stupid people's misery.
i love how every time randy has a new interest he acts like he knows it all after 1 minute
"Dumb dumb dumb dumb!" 1:23
what i like is that at 3:47 the family was even fine with Stan believing in whatever he wants
“Dum dum dum dum dum dum”
A perfect song for Most people in society 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
South Park roasted everything what the Mormons do and everything.
And then next morning, Gary says:
"Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life. and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls."
Cartman: Dude, that kid is kewl.
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Very accurate & entertaining too.
Mormons are literal representation of "source : trust me bro"
"It proves he DID make it all up, are you BLIND?!" LOL
This makes me laugh all the time when Stans snaps at Gary's family and when they leave Stan's house, they get excited and want to have a water balloon fight. 🤣
I love how the Mormons reaction to this was positive, continuing the joke
4:08 Doing a Water Balloon Fight at Night is, Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb!
Unless its summer smart smart Smart smart smart
Fact that there will be Mormons watching this and still thinking that some man who just wanted to have 40 (sometimes underage) wives was still telling the truth - explains why humanity has not reached the stars yet.
They want their own Planet!😂

Wasn't normal back then nor today.
One of South Park's greatest clips ever 🥰
This is maybe the most scarily accurate portrayal of Mormon life on TV I've ever seen
They made the exact same point in the musical. Don't show anyone the plates, just copy the plates onto normal paper even if it makes people question whether the plates are real or not... sort of what we're going for.
Well I guess it is typical for a Mormon to write down an important message if they’ll only see it once. Very helpful and lovely people
“Native Americans came from Jerusalem” LOL
I grew up around a lot of Mormons and some of my best friends are Mormon. Even my buddy is coming back from his 2 year mission trip soon. They’re usually some of the most friendly and amazing families. They get shit on so hard but take it on the chin. They have no ego and are always open to conversation with anyone. Genuinely glad I’ve gotten to be around them. The Mormon families in texas I know weren’t so overly nice though. But yeah this is pretty accurate. Also they are amazing cooks
Randy agreeing with his son for calling him a moron is hilarious
The cutest part is the babys smilling❤
The Harrisons' daughter is so adorable! 🥰😍
Lucy Harris Smart Smart Smart
The mormon family were nice. We need more people like them.
As a ex Mormon this is great!
Oyea. South is my favorite show. I am ex Mormon South Park is. 😂😂😂😂😂
Lucy Harris smart smart smart 😂
As farfetched as Mormonism's origin story is (I mean, the guy translated a completely "undiscovered" language by staring into his hat and claimed that two groups of Hebrew people [the Nephites and Lamanites] sailed to the Americas before it was technologically possible), Joseph Smith Jr. really sought to consolidate and legitimize his power by claiming that God told him men were meant to have multiple wives and that God stated that if his current wife didn't accept that she would be damned to hell. Like, really? That isn't an obvious red flag?
