What do the fans think of the South Park parody?

[Skilgannon]

I posted this question in the "Ask Bay" section but I thought I would ask you guys.

Here is the video: http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/155700/

I thought it was amazing.

[TIMtationX]

I found it funny, as i'm a huge South Park fan.. But it's well known that the South Park creators aren't too fond of Bay's movies.


Oh and by the way: 100th POST!!

I thought it was cute at the time, but they've since made an enemy of me. (Anal rape jokes about my childhood heroes on Yom Kippur? Yeah, you're done. )

Awwwww

Its called Imagination Land. Its a 3 part episode thats also available as a whole film. You can get it on torrents.

Isn't that their point?
If they can make fun of Blacks, Gays, Christians, French, and Muslims etc then why is it not ok to joke about Jews.

I know a lot of people dont like it, but its still funny.

EDIT:
I just googled the holiday. I assumed they had made Jew jokes as they always do and had insulted a jewish holiday.

But they didnt even do that. The Lucas/Spielberg rape joke just so happened to be on a jewish holiday. I dont think this was aimed at the jews. Its just a bad joke.

The two creators often miss the mark on some of their jokes and I thought this one was especially lacking in taste and did not like it. I still found the idea entertaining though (I just didnt like to see it being shown). I think this joke was in bad taste but was not racist.

I agree..One of the funniest shows on TV.

My biggest problem was the graphic and repeated use of rape. Rape is something I will never ever ever consider a source of comedy. But the whole thing, including the timing, displayed a horrifying insensitivity. And it was like swatting a fly with a nuclear bomb. Indiana Jones is JUST a film character. It is JUST a movie. Get a damned life, people.

[Skilgannon]

Yes, and South Park is JUST a tv show.

There is nothing significant about the timing. Why isnt "The Accused" and "Deliverance" anti semitic when those are the films that the two scenes were taken from?

Dont read too much into the minds of Matt Stone and Trey Parker. I dont think they are quite what most people would consider normal.

I just had to vent, since SP was brought up.

[Skilgannon]

I really want to put together an animation sketch taking the piss out of them. Since they enjoy doin it with everyone else so much.

I hope someone can throw one together about them.

[Mobe1969]

Matt Stone is Jewish. At least as Jewish as Jerry Seinfeld I guess (eg, probably doesn't go to Synagogue every week, but his mother is Jewish hence by Jewish "rules" he is Jewish.

They don't find anything sacred.

[Mech_1000]

I thought it was funny. I just wonder if Michael Bay had to approve of it before it aired because it used him & his name.

[speaks316]

I dont think so cause if they had to get permission from everyone they spoofed on they would never get a show on the air

Isn't that an invasion of privacy? Or is there some unspoken rule where if people already know of your existence you can be used..?

I think they use the disclaimer at the beginning of the show as a way to wash there hands of this problem

[alexsm]

I don't find it funny as long as i don't find South Park funny.

[Trigger Mike]

It's hilarious.

Who wouldn't get a kick out of being parodied on South Park? Well, besides Spielberg and Lucas.

God for one. They parody a story from the bible which displays a sinister message of God while avoiding the true message... that entire episode portrayed the bible completely inappropriately and offensively.

(Cartman inherits 1 million dollars & buys theme park)

Though of course, many people should by now understand TV is not to teach but to amuse... no mater what they may be watching.

[Trailbreaker]

Even the History Channel?

What are facts but sometimes misconstrued theory with no current doubt. The world was flat once. Some stuff might be true :P

I thought it was funny. I thought it was funnier when they did M. Nights parody, but it was still cool. I hope Mr. Bays not angry some of us found it hilarious.

He probably found it funnier than we did.
