Trey Parker Movies
As co-creator of South Park, one of the most highly-rated original series ever to grace Comedy Central, Trey Parker is responsible for one of the most entertaining and gleefully disgusting shows in television history, a cultural phenomenon that has successfully polarized its equally fervent fans and detractors.Born October 19, 1969 in Conifer, Colorado (the town that would later inspire South Park's setting), Parker attended the University of Colorado at Boulder. There he met fellow student Matt Stone, with whom he started making a series of crudely animated cartoons. In 1996, Parker and Stone collaborated on their first film, Cannibal! The Musical, which caught the attention of FoxLab executive Brian Graden. Graden commissioned them to make a Christmas video card, The Spirit of Christmas, a 5-minute cartoon that featured the debut of the four foul-mouthed third graders who would become South Park's stars: fairly normal Stan Marsh, neurotic Kyle Broslofski, perpetually doomed Kenny McCormick, and fat and nasty Eric Cartman. The video--its language uncensored--quickly became the talk of Hollywood, and the guilty pleasure of watching four cartoon kids say bad words soon became the privilege of anyone with the cable channel Comedy Central. Debuting August 13, 1997, South Park became both hit and subject of controversy, as it was often invoked as yet another example of the popular-culture depravity corrupting America's children.
However, controversy did not stop the show's rapid ascent to a place of honor in America's pop culture lexicon. Following Parker's acting, directing, and screenwriting turn in Orgazmo (1997) and his starring role in the David Zucker project BASEketball (1998), South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut hit movie screens across the country during the summer of 1999. The film became a modest hit even as its television counterpart continued to gather acclaim -- winning three consecutive Emmy's for Outstanding Animated Program starting in 2007. Later moving from animation to puppetry as the director of 2004's Team America: World Police, an outrageous satire of American foreign policy, Parker and longtime partner Stone made an even bigger leap -- this time to Broadway -- with the Tony Award-winning musical Book of Mormon in 2001. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

For anyone who has ever felt genuine fear while pondering what's really in that oddly shaped chicken nugget they're about to consume, director Lloyd Kaufman offers a simultaneously horrific and hilarious parody of the zombie genre that takes on the one thing scarier than the flesh-eating legions of the undead -- America's love affair with fast food. Arbie (Jason Yachanin) is a nostalgic romantic with little luck in romance and a bad case of puppy love. When Arbie's high-school sweetheart, Wendy (Kate Graham), returns home after her first year of college, the lovelorn teen attempts to win the object of his affections back by taking her to the site of their first romantic encounter. Unfortunately for Arbie, the ancient Tromahawk Tribe Indian burial grounds have been bulldozed to make way for an American Chicken Bunker restaurant, and Wendy has turned into a left-wing lesbian with a penchant for protesting.
Subsequently beaten to a pulp by Wendy's rough-and-tumble girlfriend, Micki (Allyson Sereboff), and in desperate need of a steady job, disgruntled Arbie applies at the Chicken Bunker despite the fact that Wendy and Micki have launched a tireless campaign against the restaurant. But something supernatural is stirring in this poultry paradise; the spirits of the dead are not pleased that their eternal slumber has been interrupted. As the employees of the American Chicken Bunker begin dying a series of increasingly gruesome deaths, restaurant owner General Lee Roy (Robin L. Watkins) does his best to cover up the scandal and keep his customers in the dark. Meanwhile, the restless demons of the Tromahawk tribe vow to take revenge on the fast-food-loving masses by infecting every last piece of genetically modified poultry that is served at the Chicken Bunker. Perhaps if Arbie can prevent their curse from reaching beyond the drive-through window, he can save the world from a fate worse than trans fat and finally win back the girl of his dreams. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

What began as a construction-paper film short evolved into a veritable pop-culture phenomenon for Trey Parker and Matt Stone's outrageous animated comedy series, SOUTH PARK. Centered on the hilarious misadventures of four potty-mouthed grade-schoolers in the perpetually wintry environs of South Park, Colorado, the series skewers the vagaries of the modern American cultural landscape with politically incorrect humor and satirical plotlines ranging from homophobia and terrorism to boy bands and talking poo. This collection presents 10 episodes chosen by Parker and Stone as the series' best: "AWESOM-O," "Best Friends Forever," "Casa Bonita," "Good Times with Weapons," "Red Hot Catholic Love," "The Return of the Fellowship of the Rings to the Two Towers," "Scott Tenorman Must Die," "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset," "Towelie," and "Trapped in the Closet."
Season eight of South Park yields 14 new episodes with Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and "Oh, My God, They Don't Kill Him" Kenny. This year's exercises in uproarious raunchiness include "Good Times With Weapons" (homegrown "anime," complete with ninjas and supernatural powers); "Up the Down Steroid" (Cartman enters the Special Olympics -- and loses); "The Passion of the Jew" (Mel Gibson demands to be flogged good and hard when he comes to town); "You Got F*cked in the Ass" (a tender tale of tragic tap dancing); "AWESOM-O" (the story of a boy and his killer robot); "The Jeffersons" (reverse racism for fun and profit); "Goobacks" (South Park meets The O'Reilly Factor); "Douche and Turd" (don't ask); "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes" (the revenge of the chain-store consumers); "Pre-School" (how to drench a firestarter); "Quest for Ratings" (in which "Super School News" peps things up with panda bears and gratuitous sex); "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" (Paris Hilton buys Butters -- or is it "Mr. Biggles?"); "Cartman's Incredible Gift" (don't ever screw with a psychic detective); and "Woodland Critter Christmas" (mountain lions vs. messiahs). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Directed by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Team America: World Police is a tongue-in-cheek but nonetheless politically biting send-up of the CGI-laden, big-budget action movies that have taken an almost exclusive hold over mainstream box offices, particularly during the summer months. Inspired by the Thunderbirds, a popular 1960s children's series, Team America: World Police uses similarly styled, but significantly more crass, marionette puppets in lieu of computer-generated images to breath life into an elite group of adventurers known as Team America. Their mission: to travel the world, root out its terrorists, and keep evil at bay. Aside from intentionally employing all of the hallmarks of standard action-adventure blockbuster formulas, from a prototypical hero to his communist arch-rival, the film also boasts the occasional musical number. The puppets were created by Norman Tempia along with Charles and Stephen Chiodo, the brothers behind the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Team America: World Police is not based on Team America, a 1980s series from Marvel Comics, which followed a patriotic team of racecar drivers. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Kenny's back, and the producers are sick of killing him off, so they don't, so there. Otherwise, it's business as usual for the South Park kids as the series enters its seventh season. This year's batch of episodes includes "Cancelled" (Earth's ratings are in trouble, what with flashbacks and alien wrecking crews); "Krazy Kripples" (the one with the handicapped street gangs, and Christopher Reeve on a flagpole); "Toilet Paper" (conscience makes cowards of us all, but Kyle doesn't need any help); "I'm a Little Bit Country" (celebrating the series' 100th episode with Cartman upsetting the time-space continuum in 1776); "Fatt Butt and Pancake Head" (J-Lo and Ben Affleck invade South Park); "Lil' Crime Stoppers" (the "junior detectives" break up a meth lab); "Red Man's Greed" (beware of SARS-contaminated blankets and the noble Indian brave "Premise Running Thin"); "South Park Is Gay" (actually, it's infested with Crab People and Metro-Phobics); "Christian Rock Hard" (Cartman's band 'Faith + 1' plays "Christ-Fest"); "Grey Dawn" (the revenge of the Senior Motorists, as AARP declares martial law); "Casa Bonita" (meteors and the Mexican Disneyland are involved when Butters disappears); "All About the Mormons?" ("Dum dum dum dum" vs. "Smart smart smart smart"); "Butt Out" (Rob Reiner stops eating long enough to help the kids take on Big Tobacco); "Raisins" (a broken-hearted Stan goes goth, and Butters goes to a pre-pube "Hooters"); and "It's Christmas in Canada" (with Mounties, Newfies, and Saddam's hand-picked hand puppet). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Kenny may (finally) be dead, but there's still four obnoxious South Park kids on hand as the series enters its sixth season of outrageous hilarity.

And die); "Here Comes the Neighborhood" (the new oppressed class has millions, do you hear?); the pivotal "Kenny Dies" (not "what again" but "finally" -- and can Cartman really be crying?); and "Butters' Very Own Episode" (those little white lies may save your life, so keep on lying!). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Video artist and counselor to Camp Jabberwocky -- the country's oldest camp for mentally and physically disabled adults -- Arthur Bradford spins this documentary about an unusual news production team. Since 1993, the camp has produced a series of man-on-the-street videos that are funny, sad, and at times extremely awkward. Those they produced primarily for friends and family have slowly gained a cult following including South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and indie producer John Pierson. The three gathered the funds for the camp video team -- consisting of five reporters with disabilities from Down's syndrome to severe cerebral palsy -- to go on a cross-country trip. Along the way, they interview Vegas showgirls, alligator wranglers, homeless people, cowboys, and truckers. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
More outrageous behavior from the South Park kids distinguishes the series' third season. Only one thing is sure in this year's crop of 18 episodes: Kenny won't survive till fadeout time...ever. Episodes include "Rainforest Shmainforest" (the horrible consequences of pro-environmentalism); "Spontaneous Combustion" (don't hold in those farts!); "The Succubus" (Cartman gets glasses, Chef gets a good woman); "Jackovasaurus" (some prehistoric beasts just shouldn't raise families); "Tweek vs. Craig" (the manly art of dirty boxings, and Kenny goes to Home Ec); "Sexual Harassment Panda" (Kyle's dad gets rich by suing everyone -- and we mean everyone); "Cat Orgy" (cats just wanna have fun -- at Cartman's house); "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub" (Charlie's Angels meet the "Melvins"); "Jewbilee" (summer camp with that spoilsport Moses); "Korn's Groovy Pirate Coast Mystery" (rock music, defiled graves, and an Antonio Banderas blow-up doll); "Chinpokomon" (looks like Pearl Harbor is under siege again -- this time from a gigantic, er, member); "Hooked on Monkey Phonics" (dirty duct-tape doings at the big dance); "Starvin' Marvin in Space" (the planet Marklar is a great place for the undernourished -- but watch out for "Sally the Hutt"); "The Red Badge of Gayness" (the Civil War we never fought); "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" (all your favorite vocalists, from Satan to Hitler); "Are You There God?

The most tasteless third graders on television graduate to the big screen, as Trey Parker and Matt Stone expand their animated series with foul-mouthed humor that might breach the boundaries of basic cable. In the small Colorado town of South Park, good-natured Stan Marsh, slightly neurotic Kyle Broflovski, fat and petulant Eric Cartman, and perpetually doomed Kenny McCormick are psyched for the premiere of the first feature film from flatulent Canadian TV performers Terrance and Phillip, entitled "Asses of Fire." The movie is rated R, but that's not about to stop the boys from sneaking into the theater. However, when the boys' language gets bluer by the minute after seeing the film, their parents and school administrators decide that something must be done. Kyle's mother comes up with the ideal solution: blame Canada. Terrance and Phillip end up in jail for corrupting America's youth, while the Canadian Air Force retaliates with an air strike targeting the Baldwin brothers. The boys soon organize a children's underground resistance force to free Terrance and Phillip before they can be executed; meanwhile, in a sensitive subplot exploring relationship issues, we're permitted an inside look at the domestic problems of Satan and his lover, Saddam Hussein. As on the TV show, Parker and Stone perform the voices of most of the characters, and they also wrote several songs for the film; George Clooney, Minnie Driver, Eric Idle, Dave Foley, and Mike Judge contribute voices. Not to spoil the plot, but rumor has it that Kenny dies. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The history of one Monty Python's Flying Circus is examined in this release featuring interviews with the Pythons and friends, new sketches, "The Lost Python Mayday Special," and much more. An animated tribute from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone offers testament to Monty Python's enduring influence in the world of comedy, and pop singer Meat Loaf takes the stage to introduce a series of the troupe's most memorable musical numbers including "The Lumberjack Song," "The Spam Song," and "Every Sperm Is Sacred." ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
Season two of South Park offers 18 raunchy misadventures with Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and (he should live so long!) Kenny.

David Zucker directed this slapstick sports comedy starring South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Competing two-on-two against some basketball jocks, goofballs Joe Cooper (Parker) and Doug Remer (Stone) attempt to win by devising new rules while they play. Thus is born the bizarre game of "BASEketball." Rules: Court position decides whether a sunk basket counts as a single, a home run, or whatever; the opposing team can retrieve missed shots. Verbal abuse is allowed. Ditto for gross-outs -- or anything to annoy the shooter. The game becomes popular in driveways, so sports promoter Ted Denslow (Ernest Borgnine) proposes a deal to form a pro league. Dallas Felons owner Baxter Cain (Robert Vaughn), hopes to increase revenues with product placements and pro endorsements, but he needs the okay of team owners. Ted dies during the season finals, leaving Cain to deal with his widow Yvette (Jenny McCarthy). However, Ted willed the team to Cooper, who must win the upcoming season or ownership goes to Yvette. Cameos by Bob Costas and Al Michaels. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
