SOUTH PARK - An Elephant and A Pig? [REACTION!] Mephesto Is Insane!

[@Jar0fMay0]

From what I remember, the character Shelly was inspired from Trey's actual sister who would bully him as a kid and his parents always took his sister's side. Of course she wouldn't be that bad.

[@johnhart8856]

Also apparently wherever she goes treys sister nowadays always gets "oh, you're the Shelly Parker from south park!" And she can't stand it. So good to know trey eventually got hos payback on her 🤣

[@grovsnus112]

i think randy is based on treys father aswell. mr mackey too

[@johnhart8856]

@@grovsnus112 Randy is based on Trey's real life father Randy Parker. Mr Mackey is based on Trey's real life school counsellor Mr Lackey, of whom Trey and all of his friends would greet him by doing an imitation of his voice right back to him

[@PercydeRoloFangirl]

I wonder if irl Shelley also had Headgear

[@psychedelicpunk5031]

​@@PercydeRoloFangirl Probably, that's likely where they got idea for it

[@zacharywelsh6131]

In the original cut of the episode, Shelly repeatedly sets Stan on fire and puts him out and that’s why there’s a pool of water under him in one scene. The clip is uploaded on KZbin.

[@pmalone4]

Fun fact: the scene with Pip in the cafeteria is actually a deleted scene from the original pilot episode. That's why the animation is slightly cruder until Terrance and his friends show up. It was one of a few scenes with Pip that was cut from the pilot.

[@Sam-Sung.]

Elton John actually voices himself in S2E14 "Chef Aid".

Meatloaf voiced himself as well in the same episode.

Mephesto is probably my favorite side character in the show. Love the lunacy

[@JoshuaGreen918]

Loved this episode. Mephesto had me laughing so hard dude really gave animals 4 asses. The original name of the episode was changed by the network. The name was named ( a elephant f@cks a pig.) On the DVD Trey Parker and Matt Stone talk about how they came up with the idea for the episode right before the start of the episode.

[@Ursaring_Fan]

The person playing Elton John was actually Elton John himself. This was his first episode he was in for South Park

[@SageMann92]

No, that's clearly Trey Parker singing. They got the real Elton for "Chef Aid".

[@FurbyPurrson]

no man it was not real elton john it was clearly trey parker. if you listen carefully you can somewhat hear Mr.Garrison's voice when elton sings first two lines..

I remember rewatching this episode over and over when we only had one or two seasons, and me and friends would constantly make the monkey noise "Mmmemph". Also didn't know a lot of the references you picked up on, again found myself pausing for your little quick fire notes. Great video man

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

this isn't a bad thing at all... but... I'm sure he reads over the Wikipedia articles for these episodes before watching them to make sure he catches some of these things. Everything he notices in this episode, including the fact that Sharon and Shelly and Mephisto all make their debut appearances (how else would he know that?), is mentioned in the Wikipedia article on the episode.

[@John_Locke_108]

Sorry if I'm repeating myself but thanks for reacting to this show. These early epsodes take me back to college when they first aired and South Park got huge due to word of mouth. Once you saw it you immediately told everyone you knew to watch it. Lots of watching parties in the dorms.

[@fuzzballzz36]

The Mephesto character is based on Marlon Brando as the title character from the 1980s version of "The Island Of Dr. Moreau." In a way the entire episode is about that.

[@ethanfoster692]

Love the editing of these videos showing references and asking questions, you really know how to keep an audience engaged

[@bigw725]

this was the first episode i ever saw. my mom and i took a long road trip in 97 or 98 and when we got to the destination in the middle of the night she was sleepy but i wasn’t, so she found a cartoon and put it on for me to watch while she slept. this was funny because she was the type of parent that didn’t let me watch wrestling, read harry potter, etc.

[@user-ec9yo3ff4h]

[@bejita7831]

honestly the best South Park reactions - I consider myself a huge fan, but there's loads of references I don't get that you do, like The Island of Dr. Moreau makes Mephesto's creepy little human-monkey-friend-thing make so much more sense. Also really appreciating just the "_____'s first line!" inserts - just great stuff =D

[@hackaboom]

you have the best reacts. i really like when you point out the hidden gems in southpark.

[@jamesparker1127]

Fun fact: At 7:43, there used to be water under Stan after getting beat up because the original scene before its original broadcast was where Shelly set Stan on fire with matches before tossing water on him but Comedy Central cut it before broadcast because they feared children would imitate it like the Beavis and Butthead controversy of 1993 where a five year old boy set his house in Ohio on fire.

Even with common sense, that was a handful of the adults (Chef and Sharon especially though Jimbo and Ned had their moments outside of their obsessive hunting, and even Big Gay Al and Mr. Slave (yes, for real, like how he advised Wendy through everyone dressing up like "little wh*res" and being the one to tell the girls' parents they shouldn't let their kids dress or act like that) being reliable adults the kids could turn to for advice) and while the kids were kids in their behaviours, they still found themselves being the more mature ones when faced with anything.

Damien, Cartman Gets an Anal Probe, Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut, Starvin' Marvin, Pinkeye, Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo... y'know what... I was going to pick out some and call them definite classics but it's basically the entire first season. Not a single weak episode among them.
