Creator Commentary: Make Love, Not Warcraft - SOUTH PARK

Co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone joke about the crew spending more time at work playing Warcraft than animating, all the support from Blizzard and the episode's dialogue being inspired by a random hack into the World of Warcraft game servers.

South Park season 24 Stan and Wendy back together please

[@flippyxflaxyandwuilfredoxi8726]

Did you create south park

[@AWBepi]

I know Matt and Trey are not much for public suggestions but I think they should consider producing the first remake of the film "Metropolis" but with the South park characters starring with all the fun that entails. You guys have enough connections now that you could have a composer write a score that would also be able to be used to accompany the original film whose score is lost. The 16 tons Amazon scenes are so similar to scenes in Metropolis. Imagine...a modern silent film...ala Matt and Trey. think Dr. Mephesto as the crazy inventor, Wendy as the angel of the people/evil robot. Stan as the idealist son of the man who runs it all, his dad Randy, Cartmen as the head engineer and on and on. All I ask for your use of the idea is .01% of the gross. Also if you need a gondola and gondolier for the canals I am your man.

[@dannyneelz2447]

Yes I agree

[@juded1708]

You should make a part 2 make love not Warcraft that would be amazing

Changed my life forever since I impulse bought WOW while shopping for Xmas gifts a few hours after watching that episode. I’m actually very thankful because I loved that 3-4 year window and being a part of that community. I still worked just tail off 12-14 hours a day building a company but when I got home , read to the kids , pleasantries with the wife, then it was raiding 2-4 days a week after everyone in my house went to bed. I loved it and have zero regrets.

But many did later - and the Sword of a Thousand Truths was bestowed to l33t and power leveled noobs alike! I miss playing Wow, was fun for a long time, having been a casual that would play for a few months then take off a while. It's just so... different. Back near launch of vanilla, certain character classes couldn't really solo things after leaving their start zine. Not impossible - a warrior could just push through, but a priest not likely without at least another person in a group. Now, it's easy - hell a priest could do it better at range before a warrior in melee!

[@diediedice]

This really is the most iconic south park episode ever. I still remember being in school when it first aired, never forgot about it since then. Thank you so much for giving us so many inconic, funny and entertaining episodes!

A foggy, dew-covered morning reminiscent of Spring but toward the beginning of the school year. I was 8 and somehow convinced my grandpop to watch this before school started one day. Then we played together for like 6 years, but on the same account so we'd fight over who's turn lol.

[@hishamhilal8332]

That is fucking genius man. I'm taking a media course about television and at one point we are learning about crossovers, just last week actually, crossovers between shows and crossovers between platforms etc. So I bring up this particular south park episode as an example of a crossover between a show and a videogame. My professor says that no this parody becuase the guys at wow did not know about it. But look at that apparently this episode was made in direct collaboration with Blizzard. Ha

I may be bias as a WoW fan and player when this episode came out, but it has to be my favorite of all time. Bravo.

[@Panikdemet]

I loved it too, even though I was playing another MMO.

[@davesmith4839]

Yeah, you are biased, Butter’s Bottom Bitch was the best episode hands down. Too many nerds love Warcraft, and still only vote for this episode, because of Nostalgia. I didn’t know one person that played WoW for more than 6th months, before they said. “WoW, this is fucking stupid,” and Scott Tenorman is also better, as was Medicinal Fried Chicken. Nerds and people that see Emmy winning episode over the top of that just assumed it must be the best episode when it isn’t even in the top ten, does anyone that has their own life, or didn’t know someone, so stupid, they played a dumbass computer game for years, actually vote on this poll? Nope it was all Millennials, who think WoW is awesome, or really dumb, and it brings back the nostalgic feeling of making fun of those people. All the trilogies and the two Go, God, Go episodes are better than this episode, as is Dances With Smurfs, Casa Bonita, Cancelled, Woodland Critter’s Christmas, I could go on for hours. But hey, live long and prosper you nostalgic nerds that ruined the South Park greatest episode bracket, Matt and Trey’s opinion doesn’t matter, it’s which episode is funniest, not which one they liked making the most.

[@joco8290]

@@davesmith4839 You do realise that 90% of WoW players hate the game right? And also millenials play WoW? I would argue that WoW has one of the oldest player base out of all the games in history. I have raided with alot of people and half of them was 30+.

[@jamalwashium5387]

Your virginity is safe

[@davesmith4839]

@@joco8290 I said Nostalgia, not because they love the game, and unless you were born before 1986, or after 1997, you are a millennial, whether you love or hate the game now. They vote for the nostalgic feelings they have for this episode, either because of the 2 or 3 ppl they knew that were big losers, and never left their home so they could play this game. Because, they realize, “holy shit” I actually did spend that much time on WoW, It was real cool back in the day though. Or because, they tagged “Emmy-Winning episode” on top of it. Nostalgia doesn’t make a good episode. Great character development, a good story, and an ending that ties everything together perfectly, makes a great episode. mlnw has one of those things, a good story. Top 25 definitely, best ever??? What a joke.

[@ben_dover97]

My cousin was like this in WOW before he got Permanently banned. Me and him were in a really powerful guild and would always play together. I was the "weaker one" and we would challenge people to fights. My cousin would then process wreck them. Those who survived or handled themselves pretty well were added into the ranks of our guild. Then one day he called a kid the n word in the guild chat and he got IP banned. Which for some reason resulted in me getting banned as well. The bad thing here is that my cousin is a person without a censor he doesn't censor himself and will always be bluntly honest. He wasn't the leader of the guild but he was pretty high up there. And for some reason even though we were all adults there was a no cursing rule allowed in the guild. My cousin held his tongue until a guild raid or something like that went south and my cousin started going off on the only one person of color in our guild who was online. My cousin is not a racist he is just someone who if you piss him off enough, he'll make you second guess how your parents raised you and convince you to turn them in for child abuse. Being his cousin I defended him without using colorful language but still defended him. This back and forth lead to the two of us being IP banned and that kid apparently going to live with Amish uncle. (We knew the guild leader irl and that was the story that floated around). In short I know someone who was like this and doesn't play much MMO RPGs since.
