Prior Film Experience2: South Park.. Laszlo

One of my favorite shows to watch is South Park. For those who don't know, South Park is a cartoon-ish show, primarily about four fourth-grade boys named Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny who live in a small town named South Park in Colorado where strange, ridiculous things always happen to the four kids. These things include a magical Christmas poo called Mr. Hanky, an accidental trip to Afghanistan, and Barbra Streisand collecting ancient medals to create Mecha-Streisand.I love watching South Park not entirely for its satirical content, but the thought of what's going on behind the scenes as they're recording the sounds and voices and the thoughts or chill they must have to create each episode. For example the episode "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" is a play on Scooby - Doo. At the end of the episode when the mystery is solved, Fieldy states that the ghost images were created using a candle and q tips, and their ship was an illusion caused by two squirrels and a flashlight. Now, scooby doo was a pretty funny show but at least it made sense. Where's the sense in that? But I still think it's great because of how little sense it makes and the lack of given insult.If you've ever seen South Park, you will also notice that the graphics aren't quite the best but if you ever have a chance to watch the pilot episode "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" you'll have a blast picking apart the episode for the construction paper cutouts that it was made of. Trey Parker and Matt Stone used construction paper for the first episode of South Park because they were asked to create an episode but were not yet funded with the animation program. Another fun fact about South Park is that there was a sort of pre - episode to even the pilot. Matt Stone and Trey Parker have been working together even before the production of South Park and one day they decided to make a gag episode of sorts that they called "Jesus vs. Santa". The video was one of the very first viral internet videos and a producer at Comedy Central saw it, and gave Trey and Matt a call. BAM. South Park :)
