I love the story of executives thinking that Matt and Trey's love of Les Miserables was a joke. It's so great that this movie doesn't sacrifice it's musical identity just to be more appealing to a wider audience; it's a full blown quality musical with song amazing songs, and it remains one of my favorite animated movies of all time

I love how in Mountain Town when Sheila sings, it changes to a minor key, emphasizing the negativity that surrounds her.

[@MegumiMary]

one of my favorite details in the beggining of the movie is the kids asking "Why" they just want to know why they shouldn't say these words but they aren't told why- they are just told "it is bad" without being told why it is bad and I think that detail alone is one of my favorite commentaries Stan keeps asking about the cl*toris because no one explains what he is even talking about- Eric even asks "what is the big f*cking deal" and is just told "that is enough- go to the office!" A straight-froward conversation about why these words are not polite would keep this problem from escalating when I was young and I did something wrong that I didn't understand my parents tried their best to explain why what I did was wrong. I may not have fully understood at the time but I still appreciate that they took the time to explain to me what was so wrong instead of just saying it was "because I said so"

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Yeah, when i was young, askin why or for clarity about anythin for that matter, was a surefire way to get one of my guardians to either chastise me or just ask me ableist shite like "are you stupid?" It took me way too long to unlearn that idea that its wrong to ask for clarity or an explanation on smth if i dont understand it; and still i struggle with it havin now lived almost as long away from that toxicity as i lived in it There were some adults in my life growin up who did help pushback on that a bit even as a kid, but it was still so constant from most other adults that i just learned to be quiet, keep to myself, and figure things out on my own; and then only sometimes get yelled at when i did smth wrong, instd of yelled at for wantin to clarify things so i dont do the thing wrong 9,9 This attitude shown in the movie of the parents, esp Sheila, was all too common among the adults in the rural towns i grew up in... Like, that is exactly what many a rural town in the late 90s was like at its most basic

[@bowmaj8666]

Well said. I agree. It reminds me of a story that happened when I was probably about the boy's age at my school. There was a girl who had diabetes and was allowed to have a packet of sweets that she was allowed to eat during class if her blood sugar changed. Now back then, the other kids didn't understand this and started to get jealous because they literally just thought that she was getting special treatment. "Oh why is she allowed sweets and we're not? That's not fair!" Etc. One day, another kid manages to steal the sweets from her without her knowing, and eats them all. Later, her blood sugar changes, she can't find her sweets, none of the teachers have anything to give her that would help her, and her condition got so bad that they had to call an ambulance and Rush her to the hospital. Now, instead of just sitting the rest of us down and explaining to us what had happened, why it was so important that she needed those sweets, and why it was wrong to steal them, the teachers instead were just apoplectic with rage at us. "WHO DID IT! COME ON, CONFESS! WHO STOLE THOSE SWEETS! IF NO ONE OWNS UP, YOU'RE ALL GOING TO BE IN TROUBLE!" They even threatened us by telling us that they'd called the police because stealing was that big of a deal. It was almost like they thought that they could teach us a lesson on why stealing is wrong because it was easier than explaining how diabetes worked to us. It all completely backfired though, because even though we all knew who it was, nobody grassed him up because we were now all terrified that he'd go to jail! I even remember us all talking to that kid afterwards and saying things like "Why did you do that? Now we're all going to get in trouble! We're all going to go to jail thanks to you!" The poor kid went utterly pale and looked like he was about to puke (possibly because of all the sweets that he'd scoffed!) I still remember that to this day, because looking back I feel like the teachers could've dealt with it in a much better way. They just ended up making a mountain out of a molehill, and seemed more interested in scaring us and wanting to punish us instead of teaching us to not to do things like that again.

[@rainbowdragonflies1134]

Valid point, even my mom who was one of the most decent of decent human beings didn't really want to take the time to explain why kids shouldn't swear. I think part of it is because the more knowledge a child has about anything, the more mature they have the chance to become, and some innocent parents don't want their kids growing up before they (the parents) can make formative memories with them.

[@bowmaj8666]

@@rainbowdragonflies1134 Agreed. I used to swear when I was a kid because I thought "that's what grown ups do!" I totally thought that swearing made me look older and mature. No one ever told me why I shouldn't swear, they just got angry whenever I did. Nowadays, ironically I find swearing to be a tad childish.

My first experience with the South Park Movie is pretty similar to yours in that I first watched it uncensored and in its entirety on Comedy Central late at night. It was Thanksgiving 2003. It had been a strange, sad holiday for my family. My grandfather was in the hospital, essentially comatose after a massive stroke. He would pass away 3 days later. My dad was working overnight and my mom had gone to bed early, preparing for at least two visits to the hospital the next day. While my brother watched the James Bond marathon on the upstairs TV, I snuck down to the basement at 1 AM to catch the South Park movie that had been advertised during the show the night before. And my mind was blown. It was one of the few happy memories from what would be one of the most difficult periods in my life up to that point. Thanks for the nostalgia trip, and for all you do.

[@maybe8985]

Y’all don’t understand how GOOD the songs are in this movie. I know Blame Canada and La Résistance are the most popular, but Mountain Town stays on repeat, the reprise as well, the instrumental is MAGICAL, and is a perfect introduction and closing song. And as a society we need to understand that Parker and Stone are wayyy too harsh on themselves we don’t need to take everything they say so seriously how do you mean you cringe at some of your best work to date 😭

[@briankennedy5885]

I'm from South Mexico, I remember in 2004 on English class we had to make a music recital for Christmas and felt so rebellious choosing Mr Hanky a Christmas Poo. It wasn't on the movie but damn South Park really reached all the way down to downtown Mexico. Extra funny it was a chatolic private school and we just wanted to f°ck with the nuns and their whole Christmas event. The teacher said it was a no go and gave us another song (the one from mean girls), but the group was small and we made our routine after school. And damn did we fckng poo all the Christmas that night

This movie has so much nostalgia for me. I was 12 when it came out, and my parents were typically the type who would protest a movie like this but I told them I wanted to go see it. My mom took me and I was the only kid in the theater, and she had this little notebook with her and wrote down the adult jokes and themes during the whole movie and afterwards, made sure that she explained them all to me. I will always remember her trying to start a conversation about it after for me with "most kids don't act like the children in that movie. A lot of adults do act like the adults in that movie" 😂😂 the woman was honest at least 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

South Park was first announced when I was in Primary School, and all my friends were super excited to watch it and urging me to watch it too. I watched the first episode and afterwards my mother said "I don't want you to watch that show". I promised I wouldn't, and never watched another episode until I was an adult. No war on Canada required. But if there's one thing some people REALLY want to avoid, it's personal responsibility. The movie did a brilliant job of skewering that attitude to hell and back. Literally.

So I got to feel cool because I got to see the South Park movie and the folks being jerks to me weren't allowed because their parents said no. I remember having no idea it was gonna be a musical. But since I was a kid in the 90s, I just saw it as a disney movie. So learning with this video that they were going for a disney parody makes me giggle. Because yup.

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Ooofs, a five yr old shudnt know what that word means... I feel that pain tho, knowin that i knew what several anti-gay slurs were when i was far too young bcuz they were shouted at me by bullies very early on, before i can even remember (tho my memory only goes back to around age 10, so that doesnt count for much heh) One of my earliest memories that rly sticks out was when i was 11 and ridin my bike to the library, and some teen in a truck swerved lanes to shout the F slur in my ear; the reason i remember it so vividly isnt bcuz its the first time i was called that, but bcuz i nearly died after that as he did that when i was next to a cliff drop and i started to slip down before managin to catch myself only barely Nowadays i happily call myself queer and sissy, the two slurs i was called the most growin up, tho i still cant stand the F slur for myself; i dont mind when my polycule members call each other such out of love I nvr rly knew how they knew i was queer back then bcuz i didnt even know such, i had no idea i was even remotely such until well into my 20s bcuz of how much i was taught it was wrong to be such and that i must be otherwise; so i was tryin my best to be the model of a man they expected... Only to always be recognised as queer, somehow, as if these bigots cud see smth in me i cudnt even see Which it turned out they had, bcuz the whole time i was intersex and didnt know it. There were subtle signs tho, my body was simply too effeminate and i stuck out like a sore thumb even if i didnt know why. They knew i wasnt like them, even if i thowt i was like them; but ofc nowadays i know im not like them and they now think i am like them 9,9 Bcuz ofc we cant ever see things the same way here, theyll always hate those of us they recognise as queer... Even if we try to not be queer

[@SylviaRustyFae]

Also, on 5 yrs old and feelin immense pain of bein queer in a world that doesnt love such, that reminds me of a fave song of mine writ by a nonbinary artist, Stufy, and titled "The most personal song Ive ever wrote" and in it, they talk first about bein five yrs old and the pain they felt at knowin they didnt fit in; and spec mention how they didnt want to die but they didnt want to live, and thats not how any five yr old shud feel Its so infuriatin the ways theyve made us feel so alone and so unwanted and so unlovable bcuz we dont fit their model; but im livin a life my past self cudnt even dream of bein possible bcuz of the hate i grew up in.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

"Look how junky the animation is." But... that's the point. It's supposed to look amateurish. This is actually something I dislike about modern South Park. The art style has an identity crisis. It mixes the simple old designs of the established characters and backgrounds with new stuff, which is way too detailed to be part of the same universe. It genuinely bothers me. It's like Matt & Trey don't like the style anymore, but the show has become too iconic to get a complete redesign, but as a result, everything just clashes constantly. I mean, look at Randy's default clothes and then compare them to his Tegrity Farms clothes. On the old one, both of his shoes were just a long oval shape. But in the new ones his shoes are weirdly detailed in comparison. But his face is still the same. And the weirdest part is that both the new and old styles of shoes are used at the same time. So you might see Gerald Broflovski next to Tegrity Randy and they look like they're from two different shows. It's like these designs have been there for so long that they forgot why they look the way they do. Or they just don't care. That's probably it.

[@berrtusmaximus5212]

Man…it’s awesome to see everyone’s memories of how they first saw this amazing movie. I have a fond tale to tell as well; We didn’t have cable so I never got to watch South Park at home, but my uncle (who is only 10 years older than me) would let me watch it at his house when he’d babysit me when my parents were out of town. I, naturally, heard of the movie and was DYING to see it but every time I tried to rent it at Blockbuster or Video Country they’d deny me because I was too young. My grandmother worked at a tiny, country convenience store that just so happened to rent a small number of movies out. My best friend and I convinced her to order it to the store and let us rent it. When it came in we saved up money for snacks, a pizza and our first taste of stolen wine coolers. Naturally, we had to hide while watching it so we hooked up about 11 extension cords to setup the tv and vcr in the barn so his grandma wouldn’t lose her mind…. We cried laughing the entire film. I still remember that entire day like it happened yesterday instead of decades ago…. Thank you Matt and Trey.

[@tiablue9106]

Someone else raised the point that “it’s easy m’kay” does advance the plot showing the adults did try a softer method of getting the kids to stop swearing before resorting to the v-chip. In a moral sense it also adds to your point abt how the adults needed to communicate w/ the kids instead of just “don’t do that, that’s bad”. Mr. Mackey thought that song would “cure” them but they immediately went to watch the movie and start swearing again bc of how ineffectively he communicated, and just how generally incorrigible kids are. Also it’s just a good comedic beat that the kids all joined in w/ his song and dance then ignored what he was tryna teach them

[@beauregardheer]

Dude Up There by Satan should have won best song that shit is great

The first time I saw Bigger, Longer and Uncut was on HBO. I was 12. But, luckily, I had a blank tape and a vcr haha.

I've only seen this film as a kid which is quite funny considering it's premise but I barely remember the film so I'm making it a mision to re watch it now and see all the details I missed. Probably the best way to experience this movie in my opinion.

[@kirswords8587]

GREAT video man. As a South Park fan from day 1, I have to say this was an EXCELLENT break down of why this film is so incredible, even today. I love how you had the first experience of seeing it on Secret Stash, because I remember being JUST as shocked that F words were just flying around left and right on regular cable TV. Good times. God bless South Park.

[@stev6963]

This video makes me so happy. This movie came out when I was 8 and me and my cousins all loved South Park (we are all from and live in CO so the show has been extra special to us because of that) and watched the movie together when it was released on VHS for rental. Yes, I absolutely should not have seen this movie at such a young age but damn it I don’t care. I loved it and I loved the music so much, it still holds up phenomenally today and the songs are truly A-1.

[@TonyLeonhardt]

When this movie was released to home video, I rented it from the local video rental store. At that point in my life, I was temporarily living with my grandparents. So my grandfather walked into the back den shortly after I had started the movie. Once the Terrance and Phillip movie began, he gawked at the TV, looked at me, and without a word got up and left the room. One of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever experienced with my grandfather. Gosh, I miss him. But I'll always have that South Park memory to cherish, among the many, many others I have of him.

[@berrtusmaximus5212]

The music in this film is TRULY genius.

[@eggstrodinary1355]

me and my sister watched this movie for the first time yesterday, and i’m still singing Blame Canada. I woke up to it playing in my head. Matt and Trey’s musicality is amazing

[@TheWinstonSlip]

Johnny I have one question for you, what would Brian Boitano do?

[@Johnny2Cellos]

he'd make a plan and he'd FOLLOW through

[@Bweeeeej]

I bought Stick of Truth a few weeks ago after stumbling across Johnny's vids on the games and, despite never having really watched South Park, besides an occasional episode, I got totally hooked LMAO. I went to watch all the other South Park vids (which maybe I should have waited til AFTER I watched the show myself but I can't turn down a good video analysis) and I'm so excited to experience the show and movie myself for the first time ever now. So thank you Johnny 2 Cellos!

[@evanmak7837]

I wanna add - coming from a country where south park was only released on DVD, and the only way for kids to watch it was DVD rental, this movie was the only way we could watch anything related to it, and my personal introduction to the franchise. What you said that prior knowledge to the show wasn't needed to be enjoyed cannot be less truthful.

[@Jen7867]

Great video, Johnny. Well done.

[@XKenny77]

Honestly, you could make a whole video just about the opening number. It has this very conventional, sweet, almost twee tone at first, but then it's undercut with silly gags like the deer peeing on the "snow pure and white." Once you get beyond Stan's first verse though, the song rapidly introduces almost every key character and sets up their personality, their motivation, their conflicts, and a whole lot of critical plot points. It's an absolutely phenomenal piece of storytelling economy. In less than five minutes, you understand everything you need to know about every major character except Satan and Saddam Hussein, but they're the villains. In comedies, you don't traditionally introduce the villain until you're a scene or two into your show. That's been true since Shakespeare's time. Mountain Town is incredible. When you add the one-two punch of following Mountain Town up with Uncle Fucker, you have an absolutely exquisite opening to a movie. I have a friend who's a great comic mind (he's been a professional writer, director and comedian for years) and he was on his back doing the dying beetle from that point on until the end of the film.

[@TheDogeman]

No way i just saw this movie again last week then you make a video about it!! Crazyy!!!

[@Evilfairy04]

Cannibal the musical still lives rent free in my head, so many goofy songs that are just so good

[@Evilfairy04]

Let's make a snowman, we'll make him our best friend ... We can make him tall, or we can make him not so tall, a snowman!

[@SneaktheWolf]

South Park is the only show where a 9 year old is the true evil and Satan is a sympathetic character

[@altrimnell]

Awesome video, damn you for contextualizing how friggin old I am. South Park came out when I was in High School, this movie came out shortly after I graduated. Trey & Matt are genius, this movie is iconic, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE MOCKED!!!

[@laughyourashevilleoff2546]

My mom took me to the theater to see this for my birthday, the summer before 8th grade. I had bought the soundtrack the month before and already knew all the songs before I went, so I had a pretty good idea of the plot going in. We still had a blast. I think I only knew one other kid who's parents were cool enough to take him. Then in 9th grade after it had come out on home video, all the other kids started quoting it, lol.

[@That1Gam3r]

to my mothers dismay, my father got me this movie for my 6th birthday

[@kazza6078]

Had to rewind and rewatch the part about "Up There" because i immediately started singing "i wanna live... i wanna live up HIIIIIGH" and missed everything you said

[@Nerdtendo6366]

I still remember my friend watching this movie on his phone during Silent Reading time in 10th grade. He got to the “suck my balls, Me. Garrison” and just couldn’t stop chuckling. His giggling plus me trying to quietly shush him started to make me giggle. Still makes me chuckle thinking about it

[@Robby_C]

It's amazing how well the movie still holds up.

[@ashleigh1216]

I have listened to the soundtrack an absurd number of times in the past couple months alone.

[@sydberetta4649]

I had taped that over and wore out the videotape rewatching it over and over again. Secret Stash was amazing

[@TerryB01]

I can still watch this movie today and laugh like it first came out.

[@JungleJuliaDP]

Secret Stash was my first time seeing the movie too. Everyone at school was talking about it for weeks after.

[@seanstinchfield-mp2xm]

I was in 5th grade when this came out. One kid in my class got sent to the principals office for telling everyone what a rim job was! The irony!

[@booyakuhsha24]

Thank you so much for this video! I saw this when it came out as a 6th grader lol, and LOVED IT! Watching it again now is so special, thank you so much for your insight

[@Coophack6584]

I start the New Year off every year watching bigger, longer, and uncut....its been a tradition for 10+ years now

[@huxleyginsberg13]

Great video! I feel lucky I got to see it in theaters. I’ll never forget the older couple who got up and left right as Uncle Fucker started playing!
