Now that they’ve taken down everyone from the Scientologists to Paris Hilton, have South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker run out of targets? (Hey, Rob Reiner: Watch your back!) Interview by Mickey Rapkin
You did an episode about Paris Hilton, in which she opens up a retail store called Stupid Spoiled Whore. Why pick on Paris?
Trey Parker: Okay, for me, she’s a whore. Whatever. She’s a dumb, ugly whore. But then I walked into a Guess? store, and she was all over the place. I’m like, Wait a minute, they’re treating her like a glamorous model now? Does anyone notice how dangerous this could be to little girls?
On-screen she eventually competes with Mr. Slave in a “whore-off.” How do you come up with an idea like that?
TP: I think she came up with that idea, actually. We just made a cartoon out of it.
How does the show manage to be so topical? Do you really write and produce every episode in six days?
TP: Yes. The hours are absolutely brutal, and they have been for nine years now. We show up on Thursday morning at nine o’clock, and usually we don’t have even an idea for what the show is gonna be about. And we go into the writers room and we’re in there freaking out, and every week I’m like, Why do we do this? Why do we do this? There are a lot of ways we come at show ideas. But we’ll look at things happening in the news. Maybe we say, Let’s do a Paris Hilton episode. Let’s rip on her for being such a whore. And let’s rip on America for embracing her for being such a whore. Now we think, What could be one funny scene? An example is, We should have the Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset, and do a little commercial. Immediately, I have to go out of the room and go write just that scene because we’ve gotta get animators going on something. Then I’ll run back to the writers room and go, Okay, now what could come after that scene? Why does that scene exist? We really get to sculpt the show.
Of course, it was all an evil plot, by the dreaded.....CRAB PEOPLE!!
TP: I think she came up with that idea, actually. We just made a cartoon out of it.
Thats hilarious!
There were some funny moments, like The Horse Whisperer, and Reggie Jackson wanting that last
home run ball back. and, well, that's about all I can remember.
Hippies . . . hippies . . . hippies everywhere . . . they say they want to save the world, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad . . .
OHHH just wait I think new season going beginning very soon so maybe they probably working on skit on Cindy Sheehan tha be so cool LOL!
Ping....
I hadn't seen the whole thing before - that's great!
Great Interview, thanks for posting it. I'm glad they got their sellout money without selling out. :-)
Sorry - I pinged you .. but you were already here!
My bad!
Did you ever see Orgazmo? It's their stuff - pre-Southpark!
It's about the funniest movie... watch it while drinking - with friends who are equally insane.
From the movie...
Joe Young was a simple young man trying to spread the word of the Book of Mormon when he picked the wrong house to preach at! The owner, a porn director named Maxxx Orbison, tells his henchmen to kill the guy at the door who interrupted their scene, but Joe fights off the guards with great skill, which impresses Maxxx so much that he offers Joe the lead role in the movie he's making at the moment: Orgazmo, which is about a sex superhero who fights crime with his Orgazmorator and ChodaBoy, his sidekick. Joe, against his beliefs, takes the job so that he can pay for the wedding he plans for he and his fiancee, who he doesn't tell about his risque new acting job. However, when the movie becomes an amazing hit just about everywhere and he finds out that Ben (ChodaBoy) has created a real Orgazmorator, which emits a light beam that causes the most intense orgasm in whoever it hits.
Yeah, I've seen it, a classic. They have one earlier movie out that I haven't seen but I can't recall the title.
what an awesome job they have
Im surprised they have not skewered Cindy Sheehan yet, but im sure its coming
Canibal the Musical.
It's on my Netflix list.
Ah, right. I'll have to add it to mine. Thanks for the idea, I'll sit there staring at the netflix site for what seems like forever trying to think of things to put in the que.
