[@LSMark]

Have you seen any of these movies, if so what'd ya think 🤔

[@ALF3000]

Team America did not live up to the hype that surrounded it, after seeing bigger, longer and uncut I thought it would be similar, it wasn't

[@smartistepicness]

I haven’t seen any of them yet but they seem cool so I’ll check them out.

[@chillgiver]

Yes

[@samv.3217]

12:47 What is the name of the song played there?

[@S713N]

You should review that Butch Hartman crossover episode with BTR

[@LukeTheNotSoFunnyCheetoMan]

Heres an extra fun fact about Trey Parker: Trey Parker voiced the villain in Despicable me 3 so his daughter could watch something appropriate with him in it

[@SonofTuscon99]

That's adorable!

[@MonsterTaming420]

I remember my aunty asking me if I wanted to go, I only liked the first movie so I was unsure until I saw who played the villain.

[@themoocow7718]

thought his voice sounded familiar.

[@AutisticGee]

That’s the cutest shit ever even tho I knew I remembered now.

[@SouthernGothicYT]

that's extra funny considering she voiced Ike in South Park

[@Nerdtendo6366]

Still crazy how “American, Fuck Yeah” went from a parody of American Pride to be known as an American Classic

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

It's the "Born in the USA" phenomenon, people hear what they want to hear.

[@williamhardee8863]

I don’t know a single person who uses, “America, Fuck Yeah” unironically. I don’t know if you know this, but here in America it’s cool and hip to be anti American, and someone who actually has even just a little pride in their country is demonized because people can’t tell the difference between patriotism and nationalism.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

For me, the "Everyone Has Aids" song still stuck in my head since 2017 and it's still funny.

[@powerist209]

Yet at the same time, the movie seems to be somewhat apologetic to American militarism. Like the villains are anti war activists and celebrities can be seen as “bad faith” representation. Like Team America was shown to be “good guy who needs to learn” than criticism of it. By contrast, anti war side wasn’t shown with any positive sides or provide lessons that heroes need to learn. Keep in mind, it was written in 2003 and Matt and Trey had libertarian bias. Then again, it was more well written enough to be assumed as parody.

[@heiress.]

“what would yew dew if you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom?” 😔🍔🦅🇺🇸

[@TheDigitalApple]

Team America is probably the closest to making a South Park product featuring the same satire, comedy and celebrity ribbin’ while at the same not being a South Park product.

[@usmaanilyas8639]

True. I feel like the main difference between Team America and South Park is that Team America is missing the emotional depth that makes South Park great. Idk I just couldn’t get connected to the main dude in Team America. But maybe that was intentional since a lot of the humor in that movie is just laughing at how ridiculous everything is lol

[@jamesbaxterfromax]

I think book of Mormon was also very successful obviously not a movie tho

[@kitestar]

I can see that

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

​@usmaanilyas8639 But, at least America F*** Yeah is very relatable now....😅

[@classicnatNY]

@@usmaanilyas8639Yeah that was the whole point lmao you weren’t supposed to connect to the main character in Team America. He’s literally the cookie-cutter action hero you see in every war film. The whole thing is a parody of war movies I love it sm

[@papifuego1581]

Baseketball is such a guilty pleasure. Its so stupid. That line “i swear if you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more time’s im out of here” gets me every single time

[@bineytheactionman7174]

One of their best

[@jamstonjulian6947]

It's like 20 years since I've seen that film and still remember that joke. Weird.

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

​@@jamstonjulian6947 I do remember it well for the fact that Bob Uecker and Dale Earnhardt Sr both appeared as guests. Bob called the games, and Dale was the taxi driver.

[@Adog00]

Can’t wait for the one with Kendrick Lamar 😂😂

[@tylerhackner9731]

That should be great 😂

[@mrpenisnose6666]

The creator of Xavier: Renegade Angel is also involved

[@EliLong-sg3jg]

They’ll likely take more jabs at Drake

Thank God Mark made it first

[@calebredman2219]

If you make it, I'll still watch yours

[@spy.mp4773]

You snost you lost

[@Harrymation-productions]

Fun fact: the plot point of Gerald being a troll in South Park season 20 originated from an idea trey and Matt had for a movie or musical about a normal man being a troll in secret. I’d honestly like to see the idea revisited someday, has a lot of potential as a movie.

[@DantesGrill]

I'm still surprised they're the only people I've seen who has been able to depict a realistic representation of a internet troll

[@ratchetxtreme6591]

I love the fact that Team America came out the same year as the live action thunderbirds, and feels more like a more faithful adaptation to the series than movie ever was.

[@chrisrockett5897]

Only thing I remember about the live action Thunderbirds was how much I was tweaking over Vanessa Hudgens.

[@mikitz]

They even tried to hire the puppeteer from the original Thunderbirds, but he declined the offer for some obvious reason.

[@SportPhilosophies]

The whole plot of Orgazmo falls apart when you learn Mormon Temple weddings are free and the guy wouldn’t have needed money for it in the first place. I thought Matt and Trey knew their Mormons? Sheesh!

[@SpunkMcKullins]

Mark mentioned that he wonders what a South Park fan stumbling across these films would think, and I found them all about 15 years ago and loved all of them. Also fun fact: In Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, Kenny's heart is accidentally replaced with a baked potato. This is another reference to Cannibal, where the song mentioned with the ending jingle has the lyrics "my heart's as full as a baked potato."

[@ombranox]

He uses the baked potato analogy several times over the course of that song; the charm of Shpadoinkle (the song in question) is the amateur "first draft/placeholder" vibe.

[@bullahboi3064]

From Mormon musicals to owing a restaurant to a weed company to Kendrick Lamar what a career. Also I like how Matt Stone's character in Cannibal has the same hat as Kyle his most prominent role in South Park.

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

Plus, Cannibal is a Troma film, as a New Jerseyan, Lloyd Kaufman's Troma put out some great B-movies. Plus, they were the 1st to do an English dub of "My Neighbor Totoro" in 1994... (Fox Video, now 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment, released the dub exclusively on VHS here in America, until Disney re-dubbed it in 2003 for a limited edition DVD release.)

[@graphicremoved2539]

the ghibli movie? the one that was digitally animated? the one that came out in 2001? what what whaaaaaat?

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

@@graphicremoved2539 I misspoke. It's My Neighbor Totoro.

[@FolkloreSupremacy]

Kendrick Lamar is now apart of the LSMark canon. Let that sink in, pun intended

[@BQuanchi]

One thing I took away from Team America is that it took me the longest time to realize that the musical "Lease" was a parody of the real-life musical "Rent", which explains all the AIDS...

[@TDUShelby]

Additional fact, in case anyone wanted to know. Team America's score was produced by Harry Gregson Williams. While he's produced a lot of music for a lot of films, he also produced the music for Metal Gear Solid 2 through Ground Zeroes. So, yes. the Snake Eater theme was scored by the same guy as Team America.

[@JorgeGomez-hx5uu]

I’m finding out so much shit from this video, and your comment was the icing on the cake. I would have never connected the dots. I love mgs2, so that blew my mind

[@TrashQueenAndKing]

It's Team America's 20th birthday. Geez.

[@dylanwright625]

I'm one of the very few (only?) that have Team America as my favorite movie of all time. My top 3 will always be TA, Holy Grail, and Anchorman... it's weird even to me TA beats the Southpark movie by a hair even tho that's 5th alltime to me. Yes I'm basic af to comedy. F&ck you Kyle, my childhood kicked a$$.

[@CaptainCat101]

I remember when I first watched Team America with my dad. When My dad told me that it was made by the creators of South Park, it just made sense.

[@wstine79]

Of their non-South Park movies, BASEKET-BALL and TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE were my favorites.

[@kingbash6466]

Team America is one of my favorite comedy films of all time. I love how unfiltered and unhinged the jokes are, and I don't even need to mention how iconic "America, Fuck Yeah" is as a theme song.

[@katiemorison7969]

It is very interesting to try and review politically too, even if it does make the threads pretty visible at places

[@GrossGoblin]

Orgazmo is one of the greatest movies ever made and I refuse to be told differently. Cannibal is fantastic too. Troma is general is great!

[@Hachiae]

Baseketball is unironically one of my favorite movies

[@AutisticGee]

Same and I don’t even like sports or sport movies, but I loved that one and also I loved Team America a little.

[@p0pii.]

baseketball is unironically one of my fav movie

[@Moviemakers05]

Fun fact the opening shot with the fake smaller puppets legit had a executive pissed saying they fucked us only to reveal the budget was spent and not wasted

[@nickrustyson8124]

The Unsolved Mysteries bit in Baseket Ball is probably my favorite bit, "I don't care if he fucking hung himself" cuts to some fat middle age man hanging in a closet and then he took a puff from a cigarette

[@usmaanilyas8639]

I love the interview where Trey and Matt talk about how Sean Penn sent them a letter but it was addressed to the public instead of them. The irony of that is insane considering the way he is portrayed in Team America

[@aw3s0mo400]

Sean Penn actually wrote that letter because he heard that he was in Team America, he didn't actually watch the movie tho lmao

[@Ubritoons96]

To answer your question on the airplane “Braniff” company logo, I believe that stopped showing up on the show by mid-season 10 (aside from its first two episodes). Braniff was eventually folded into SP’s current day production studio South Park Studios.

[@Gauntlet2021]

Legend has it, the 'Indian' chief actually is the owner of a sushi restaurant Trey liked. Trey asked him if he wanted to be in the movies because he figured they'd get free food out of it.

[@LucyLioness100]

He did own a sushi restaurant in Colorado & also appeared in “Orgazmo”

[@BugsyFoga]

Like said with the Seth Mcfarlane movies vid, It’s always fascinating to see creators who you mainly associate with animation branch out to live action projects, whether it be from Brad Bird or Mike Judge.

[@jadenbryant9283]

Either that or seing Voice actors be in something that isn't aniamted like David hayter in the guyver movies or Eric buaza in the banana spilts movie if that counts

[@Jonathanest90s]

Remember Trey and Matt made a short film at Universal Studios Hollywood? Yeah look it up. It’s called “Your Studio and You” and they are a lot of cameos no one would expect.

[@ombranox]

"Old... and stupid." (Cue footage of the shark prop from Jaws)

[@tobydandelion]

Some of the humor in Cannibal the Musical really hits for me, the silly song lyrics are just so... silly. Love Shpadoinkle Day and the Snowman song.

[@basketballfan23]

the sky is blue and all the leaves are green

[@LucyLioness100]

Those songs are so silly, but pretty damn funny

[@nekkotine8535]

Casa Bonita is already opened and they did great with it. It's almost exactly the same way i remember it from when i was a kid

Saaaaayyy “Geddy Lee!” “Who’s Geddy Lee?” “Geddy Lee! Best bass player! Ever! Come on!”

[@CatWithAScarf]

I just finished watching the Cannibal! segment and since it's honestly one of my favorite movies, I wanna say some things in its defense: I don't mind many of its "low-budget" aspects because 1) I personally have a fondness for things like that as I find it can really add charm and fun when used in the right ways/circumstances, and 2) as you noted, Trey and his friends made this movie while they were still in college. In COLLEGE. That blows my friggin' mind. For what's basically a student film, Cannibal! is really impressive. It still has flaws (sound issues, costume issues, etc.), but I think this aspect highlights all the things that the film succeeds at. And it succeeds at a lot! I was surprised to hear that you didn't like most of the songs. I find Cannibal!'s soundtrack to be fun and catchy all throughout (While I don't dislike any of the songs, the only one I think is a little slow or "drags" a bit is Polly's love song: one of the ones that you liked the most). And as for your comment about the film taking place in "nondescript fields"? That reminds me of something else I appreciate: its location shooting. This is a story about a group of people who tried to travel through Utah and Colorado. Because Trey and his friends were going to school in Colorado, they were able to film in environments similar to what the characters would have traveled through! AND they actually filmed in a location where Alferd Packer had 100% been: the courthouse where Packer was tried. I admire that dedication to detail! Finally, there are all the little things about the movie that make it so charming in my eyes, like the fact that Trey Parker's dad plays the judge at Packer's trial, or the opening credits that play during a medley of the soundtrack (referencing a tradition of other movie musicals). There's really a lot to love about Cannibal!, and while I respect that it's not your cup of tea, I hope that other people aren't deterred from checking it out for themselves.

[@LucyLioness100]

That movie cracks me up so hard. I don’t care how amateur the production value is, their heart is in it and their trademarks were being set up

[@smartistepicness]

I was going to comment about Book of Mormon being missing but then I realized it’s a musical.

[@mileven3ggo3njoyer]

Fun Fact: The Mormon church has been incredibly positive about the Book of Mormon musical, and has openly promoted it in the past.

[@nateeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

"You've seen the musical now read the book" lmao

[@isaaccuevas1717]

Trey Parker and Matt stones film career is better then Seth McFartland

[@MightyMurloc]

I'm not going to lie, I kinda hoped you WOULD mention Despicable Me 3, not because I'm a diehard fan, but because I don't plan on watching it anytime soon, and I enjoy your commentary.

[@pajamapantsjack5874]

I remember game grumps making light of how many good gags are in baseketball especially the radio scene. Still one of the best I’ve ever seen

[@RawbeeVee]

Alright mark it’s time. Review every episode of Greys anatomy

[@LinkTheRipper77]

I watched BASEketball for the first time like a month ago. It's fantasticly bad but amazingly great. It has so many visual gags that aren't acknowledged its great. Like when they start getting paid note that fro boy starts wearing more and more jewelry every scene it's great.

[@josiahtheawkward6008]

I love how most of these are “It’s so bad, that it’s great”

[@frankclark2208]

Cannibal: The Musical is positively Schpadoinkle.

[@johnhart8856]

7:55 Not true, Dian didn't just do a "single voice" in South Park. Along with Satan's boyfriend Chris, he also played a game show announcer (not to be confused with the gameshow host) in the season 2 episode "Cow Days" and he played a shopping mall Mr Hankey in the season 2 episode "Merry Christmas, Charlie Manson!"

[@tacoforce5]

i remember when my dad worked as theatre security and absolutely loved the book of mormon, but he’d never tell me anything about it cuz i was too young lol

[@whomdunit2457]

Did he re-name the video to feature South Park in the title after making fun of this same strategy for these movies in this exact video multiple times

[@dingola_]

It had south park in the title before

[@whomdunit2457]

@dingola_ Yeah but it was still very obvious that the movies didn't have anything to do with South Park, just the creators. It was aaking a question. This new title is one step away from that "From the creators of South Park!" Shit.

[@dingola_]

@@whomdunit2457 thinking that way, yeah makes sense lol

[@professorsheppardful]

Baseketball needs a sequel

[@hubadubatron1045]

Did anyone else know about the opening song to Cannibal because of that one Kirby flash animation from like 2007

[@butter-oq6yz]

Team America is one of the funniest comedies ever. Sometimes I even misremember some of the songs as South Park musical numbers lol

[@Flickawho]

After a recent rewatch of both, I honestly like Cannibal: The Musical more than Orgasmo. I think it’s because Orgasmo had a decent budget and ultimately falls short. It could’ve been so much better. With Cannibal, you can tell they are young and working with intense limitations.

[@JackOfen]

I just want to say: Cannibal The Musical is great. Don't listen to the guy who thinks Family Guy is peak television.

Couple years back I watched the first episode of South Park and fell in love. I then proceeded to watch the entire show, the banned episodes and the movie. I then watched Baseketball and and Team America and loved both of them. South Park is now my favorite adult animated show of all time and I have a Towlie plush to prove it. Second is Futurama which I proceeded to watch after all that.

[@ombranox]

I remember being 9 when Team America came out; I knew of South Park, but hadn't seen more than a few episodes at that point. For some reason, when I saw the trailers, I thought the villain was Mr Garrison (they have the same glasses, and when you don't hear him speak long enough for the accent to show, it's the same voice). By the time it was out on DVD and I saw it I knew better.

[@HBarnill]

It's kinda insane how Trey Parker is the filmmaker Doug Walker desperately wants to be.

Oh Mark, you have no idea how happy this video makes me! As a huge fan of the channel and someone obsessed with Trey and Matt’s work, I am so happy to see you covering their other creations! I saw the Book of Mormon musical live on broadway about a month ago and it was one of the best days of my life, no joke.

[@princessscotchtape8931]

Cannibal the Musical is a masterpiece. You take that back! You're right, it's rough, but its so endearing. Every time that a group of friends and I watch it, it's a hit.

[@LucyLioness100]

It’s such a fun movie & so silly. I laugh my ass off & love seeing them in their start as filmmakers before they ever made the show that would propel their names to glory

[@MetaGammaOfficial]

excellent rebrand, milord

[@rastas_4221]

Crazy that Team America got made. Behind the scene is almost better than the movie

[@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770]

Interesting thing is that although I watched all of South Park twice, saw Book and Mormon live, watched Team America, and even checked out That’s My Bush a while back (it’s pretty underrated), I’ve still never seen Baseketball.

Cannibal the Musical is not worth watching? Hell no, it's amazing from the first to the last scene! Just like Orgazmo. 10/10

[@MattnessLP]

I only heard of BASEketball because I read the ska band Reel Big Fish was in there, and I used to be a huge fan of them. The movie itself is pretty insane, kinda like an even more goofy Naked Gun, but in that same vein I kinda like it. It's SO stupid and I watch it as kind of a parody to those sports movies that take themselves waayy too seriously. Now that you brought it back to my mind, I kinda wanna pop in the DVD and watch it again.

[@hermos3602]

I don't understand why KZbinrs tend to change the title and thumbnail of their videos.

[@CatsLilaSalem]

Seeing this made me realize i did see BASEketball at some point on tv, as an kid at an point i did not watch South Park yet, and i loved that movie I think South Park was also not running for long yet at that point, the movie is very old now

[@mjslack3073]

I’ve seen clips of Team America thinking they were Robot Chicken episodes 😅

[@MutaScale]

I know BaseKetball isn't loved much either, but I still enjoy the hell out of it since I first saw it... as a 7-8 year old around when it came out on VHS. XD Plus, gave us "Stevvveee.... PERRY!" along with the Reel Big Fish cover of "Take on Me".

[@Evflasky]

Cannibal the musical is something I have a soft spot in my heart for because you can tell just by watching it that it was a film made by buddies or giving a film school group a budget! Also I have since then incorporated Shpadoinkle into my vocabulary.

Grew up watching cannibal the musical, baseketball and orgasmo, quote them even now in my thirties and often sing the songs from cannibal
