*TEAM AMERICA* eff ya!🔥MOVIE REACTION FIRST TIME WATCHING!♡ 

Taking bets on how long til this video gets demonetized lol 😆😆 COMEDY Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLQHhQlj8i5dom33r48W9VdQjINncfXrLh

EVERYTHING about this movie is hilarious. Trey and Matt said that making this was so difficult, that another will never be made. And that makes me sad because I love this film SO much. There are so many levels to comedy here. There's the low-brow comedy on the surface, and then there's the subtle humor that they don't always address, or shine the light on. It's a brilliant commentary on "American Patriotism" and "'Murica" as well.

Two of the biggest laughs I've ever had watching a movie, the hammer joke and the vomit scene.

I absolutely love that I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. has the voice of a stoned, apathetic teenager.

Oh man, my wife burst out laughing when Jen got all excited for ''puppet love'' at the start. Yup, there's definitely going to be puppet love.😂

“We’ve lost Intelligence!!!! I repeat, We Have No Intelligence!!!!”😂 I love this movie so much.

Oh man, the trivia for this movie is almost as hilarious as the movie itself! The very first fight, the puppeteers were making it look too good, Trey and Matt wanted it to look dumb, they were like "just bang them together." They ended up doing it themselves and broke the puppets :) Also Matt Damon's puppet baked wrong, and at first they were like "we can't use this, it looks brain damaged!" which is why they just have him saying his name over and over again.

The best part of the ending speech is that it actually makes perfect sense…. It’s presented in the most crude terms I can think of, but it’s freaking hilarious and accurate.

"Cyanide pill?! No, just a hammer..." The suicide hammer is one of the best little gags in Team America, along with the croissant plaza in Paris.

This was such a difficult thing to make that they ( the southpark lads) said they would absolutely NEVER do something like this again.

I think Gary's heartfelt speech at the end is even funnier when watching it on Jen's channel because of the way literally about every third word had to be deleted.

Yes Jen, Matt Stone and Trey Parker did this movie! How have more reactors NOT reacted to South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut?!

Team America's general style (including puppetry style) was based on the early series by Gerry Anderson, who relied on a technique called "supermarionation." He's best known for Thunderbirds. I discovered him during the 2000's through my public library's videotape collection of Captain Scarlet. My kids and I loved watching it together for the irony value. I'm pretty sure, though, that Anderson took it seriously as an art form.

OH MY GOD - you're actually watching this???? One of the greatest satires/comedies of ALL TIME. You cannot comprehend how happy I am you're watching this!!!

As if South Park wasn't enough evidence that Parker & Stone are comedy geniuses, projects like this, Baseketball, and Orgazmo (which is probably un-reactable on RU-vid) really prove their credentials. Another great pick, Jen. Cheers from the East Coast. 🥃👍✌❤

Quapla, pronounced Kapla, is the Klingon word for Success. When all the actors said it I was the only one who laughed in the theatre.

The puppeteers were apparently so good that the walking and hand-to-hand combat actually looked decent originally so Stone and Parker told them to make it more silly.

Seeing this movie in theatres was one of the funniest experiences I’ve ever had, what a classic also America Fuck yeah!!!!

"Are there more movies with puppets I should check out?" *THE DARK CRYSTAL* (1982) *LABYRINTH* (1986)

"America, F**k Yeah!" is a great song to play when you're doing a speed run through an first person shooter game.

YESSSS! You are not the only one that's been waiting for this Jen! I was really hoping you would react to this, because it is unique, and I was dying to see the expression on your face 😆 thanks again Jen, this one is hilarious! Made my day...Eric 😊

The funniest part of the ludicrously bombastic 'America, Fuck Yeah' song is that they also use it in the sad parts of the film, so they sing the same lines like they are crying. Absolutely hilarious.

My spouse and I watched the uncensored version of this (yes, there is one). We laughed so hard, our sides ached for a week . . .

BASEketball has to be added to the list, from the team behind Airplane and staring Matt Stone and Trey Parker (The creators of South Park)

The puppeteers were able to make the walking realistic but they were told to make it looks like this so it would be more funny. Also the Matt Damon puppet was supposed to be nirmal but the puppet came out looking funny so they changed the story around him to what it is now with him only saying his own name.

I grew up with the Supermarionettes shows like The Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, etc(syndication of course)., and when I saw the South Park guys were making a movie using marionettes, I knew it would be comedy gold. As part of the fun of watching those shows was how the marionettes would move and interact with one another. The walking alone always brought a smile to my face, sadly due to cost, time and effort, this is a lost artform, but you can see here what is possible and how great the final product can be. F**K Yeah!

I enjoyed this movie a lot. You are absolutely correct that the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, also created this movie. I actually personally met one of the real-life individuals that the creators loosely based one member of Team America on, specifically Joe Smith (the blond jock), who was described by Trey and Matt as being "a former starting quarterback at the University of Nebraska". The only former (as of 2004) starting quarterback at the University of Nebraska who matched Joe's appearance was one Scott Frost, who started at the position in 1996-1997, and later returned for an unsuccessful stint as head coach at Nebraska. I happened to meet him at a youth event a few years before the movie was made. Other fun trivia related to the movie includes that the actors who were parodied in the film had a wide range of reactions to it. Sean Penn was extremely butthurt about the parody, and actually wrote a letter to Trey and Matt about how angry he was, ending with "F--- You!" At the other end of the spectrum, Alec Baldwin thought the idea was funny and even offered to voice the parody version of himself for the film (an offer Trey and Matt turned down). In a "making of" feature that was included with the original DVD release, Trey and Matt said that their dream for the movie was for the song "I'm So Ronery" to win an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" and for the real Kim Jong Il to perform the song at the awards ceremony, a dream that sadly never came true...

(in the beginning) "oh, puppet love!!" (She had no idea what's coming 🤣🤣🤣)

This film has followed me around for years. My cousins regularly greet me using Spotswood's voice and *that* line! 😂

All the celebrities that have been asked about this movie said they liked it except for Sean Penn; he wrote an angry letter where he accidentally quoted the movie saying anyone "Who's been to Iraq" would hate the movie too.

Seeing this in a movie theatre in the US whilst on vacation from the UK meant I saw it before all my buddies. Never been part of a theatre crowd that lost their sh!t like that before or since. People were losing their minds at the sex scene and the vomit scene. As someone old enough to have watched the original Gerry Anderson shows like Thunderbirds, Stingray etc when I was a kid, this movie was simply awesome...

Legend has it that when this was first screened for studio executives one of them yelled “OMG, they fucked us!” when he saw the tiny puppets that were being puppeteered by a regular-size puppet. He thought that the whole movie was going to look like that.

You should definitely watch South Park! The movie, South Park Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is a GREAT place to start. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have written all of their movies together they are hysterical as a writing pair. Trey Parker is arguably the true powerhouse of the two though as he has directed all of the movies they have written and he also does ALL of the music and lyrics for their movies including this one and South Park. He was big theatre nerd growing up, LOVES Broadway musicals with Les Miserables being his favorite. If you pay attention their are references to it in almost all of their work.

Trey and Matt and their crew really went all out for this. It really has that epic Hollywood Michael Bay feel that it’s parodying, and the songs are just glorious and hilarious:) Excellent pick:)

OMG I flipped when I saw you were doing this. This movie is hilarious. When you try and explain to people that it's puppets they immediately react like "what are you nuts" and don't give it a try.The production value is incredible.The sex scene cracks me up, especially the unrated version.Since you loved the Mount Rushmore lair, you should watch the "National Treasure" movies. The second one kind of goes there. Both fun watches.And yes "Black Hawk Down" is intense.

During the puppet fight scenes, the puppeteers said that they could have done more elaborate fights but the writers were like no this is funnier this way.

"Blame Canada! Blame Canada! It seems that everything's gone wrong, since Canada came along!" 😂 Oops! Wrong Matt Stone and Trey Parker film. But still, you would probably like "South Park: The Movie... Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" as well, Jen.

22:27 Matt and Trey said that their dream would be for "I'm So Ronery" to be nominated for an Academy Award and to have the real Kim Jong Il to perform it at the Oscars.

Matt and Trey wanted a good action cinematographer, and Bill Pope (best known for "The Matrix") is a big "South Park" and stepped up to do it. When Matt and Trey were informed who Bill Pope was, they told him "You don't have to sully your career with our little film," and he told them "No, I want to sully, my career."

I watched this when it first came out, and it's still hilarious all these years later. I even have the montage song on my workout playlist!

"Qapla!" is a Star trek reference. The Klingons cry it out before they go into battle. It means something like, "success."

"MERICA f**k yeah!" Couldn't believe the South Parkers got this done. Yes, dear Jen, there are behind the scenes videos out there. Several on RU-vid, and I'm guessing on the DVD. I haven't watched a dang one. There are some puppetry wizardry things around. The ones I remember most were Rankin and Bass stop motion. RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER, LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN. Can you see a pattern here? There must be a bazillion Holliday related things. One of my favorites is MAD MONSTER PARTY? But I think either Rankin or Bass didn't participate. It's a mad scientist thing with Boris Karloff and Phyllis Diller in the cast. Puppet movies? Gremlins, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Small Soldiers, Child's Play, loads of Muppet things. Then there's the Marionettes. My favorites wre the Fireball xl5 and Thunderbirds. They, like most string related puppetry, were tv series. But it seems every few years someone or something tries to hook us with 'splosions 'n sh*t. Great watching. Hug the beasties.

GIven how heavy the censorship had to be, I'm glad that the one moment to slip through the cracks was 21:16 cause I just love the delivery of that line. Great reaction!

I was surprisingly "thrilled "that you were going to watch this movie. I knew all your reaction were going to be as much fun as the movie is. THX.........

Watching by myself. 😂 💜 I so rorenry. 😭

It's good to see your reaction to this cinematic masterpiece. 😂😂😂

My favorite film by these guys is called "Cannibal: The Musical". It has easily some of the catchiest showtunes I've heard.

love this movie - i have it on DVD the extras on the DVD is all about the behind the scenes of this movie - they talk about the puppets, weapons, scenery, even the explosions ... defiantly worth a watch if you can find it somewhere

"Awww... Puppet Love..." LOL! Little did she know of what awaited...

America, Eff-yeah ! Matt Damon.

“Oh puppet love”!!! 😂😂😂😂 You have no idea…. Yet.😬

They said that with Matt Damon, they were not really planning on having him only say his name. But when they did it once they just thought it was really funny. The actor was asked recently in a Reddit AMA what he thought about his 'appearance' in the movie, and it seems he was a bit confused by it. "I was always kind of bewildered by Team America, I think because it’s hard for us to understand what our images are in public, I think we’re not good judges of that, and when I saw myself on screen just only able to say my own name and not really that well, I kind of wondered “Wow, is that how people perceive me?" "At that point I just kind of was like, I’m a screenwriter and an actor, and like really? I can barely say my own name? So I was always bewildered by that, and I never talked to Trey and Matt about that. And Incidentally, I believe those two are geniuses, and I don’t use that word lightly. I think they are absolute geniuses, and what they’ve done is awesome and I’m a big fan of theirs, but I never quite understood that one. But I will say this. Those of us who were parodied in that video were parodied because we were against the Iraq war, and we went on the record against that war, and so history is on my side not theirs." He was a lot more upbeat about the cameo a couple years ago however when he said the following. "I thought it was brilliant! I mean, I never understood it, and then I heard an interview with them and they said the puppet came in looking kind of mentally deficient and they didn’t have time to change it, so they just made me someone who could really only say his own name. All the comedy they’re doing is really next-level stuff. Also, I liked being included as a person who was against the Iraq war." Hmm..."

A true modern classic. Still slaps after 20 years.

I love seeing someone just so excited for this movie and loving each insane joke.

I remember the vomit scene being the first time I had to ask the host to pause the damned movie for fear of choking laughing.

This movie is the whole reason my friends and I would randomly say "Dirka dirka" to each other lol

That extended vomit scene was actually an accident. There was a malfunction but it makes it that much funnier the way it ended up coming out after all.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is a must if you want to watch a South Park movie. There's behind the scenes videos of how this was made, too. It's too bad they'll never make a movie like this ever again since it was such a nightmare to make.

I wanted to ask when we can expect your reactions to the original Star Trek episodes here on RU-vid? THANKS! 🖖😊

My favorite reactor to one of my favorite comedy, and on my birthday. Thank you Jen! What a living present you are. ❤️

I saw this movie when it came out back in the day. My friend my brother and I were laughing so hard our stomachs were hurting. Tho this movie was advertised as not being for children and made by the guys who did South Park an older woman brought her grandchildren to see it. They lasted only 20 mins into the movie before they left in a huff. It was hilarious. This soundtrack is amazing and one of the few movie soundtracks that I went right out and bought after seeing the movie. Love your reactions Jen ❤❤❤

The scene in Paris had paving in the shape of croissants. A detail so tiny that almost everyone missed it but it made me smile.

When asked for an autograph on the DVD, Matt Damon signs "MATT DAMON". He's a good sport.

In answer to your question about how the celebrities parodied in the film responded to it, most of them actually took it in stride. Alec Baldwin used to fondly recount how his daughter's friends you actually tell him "you are useress to me Arec Bardwin", George Clooney said he'd be offended if he _hadn't_ been parodied, and Matt Damon has said he wished he could've voiced his own puppet. As far as I can tell, the only person who responded badly to it was Sean Penn, who wrote a very angry letter to Parker and Stone telling them how very angry he was

AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!!!

This was given an NC17 rating for the strong graphic language, but they cut down some swears for an R Rating.

One of the best comedies ever. Not only funny as hell, there's a lot of truth (more or less) hidden underneath the jokes an silliness. Plus no matter what country, what political, social, religious (...) opinions, everybody get's roasted equally. Brilliant.

Qa'pla! (the rallying cry the actors used) is the Klingon word for success. It is a Star Trek reference.

I'm sure someone already mentioned it but the dvd has behind the scenes shirts. Buy the unrated version. Some actors laugh and are cool with being mocked while some get bent out of shape over it, just like with South Park.

Omg that was hilarious! No reaction channel could better appreciate the satire and humor of this movie better than you, Jen! Love this movie and your channel. Keep up the quality content! I'd pull the trigger on your Patreon the second there's South Park content on there 😁 just sayin

If you're curious as to why Matt Damon only says his name is because the two creators originally had dialog for the character. But, when Matt Stone and Trey Parker saw the puppet, they said that the puppet looked mentally deficient, so they instead replaced all the dialog and for him to say "Matt Damon".

if you didn't get it, the Play where Gary is introduced is called LEASE, which is a play on the play RENT but without the metaphors.

You probably didn't notice that the paving stones in Paris were little croissants or that the buildings in North Korea were Chinese take away containers, or that the palm trees in Panama were marijuana leaves. It's the little details that add another level to the humour. And yes, the movie was made by Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park... F**K Yeah!! Dirka dirks jihad Mohammed,🤣🤣

For the past 20 years, every time I hear “freedom isn’t free” I have to respond “it cost a buck o five”

Trey and Matt said that since Kim Jong Il watched a lot of movies, they hoped that he would watch Team America, and they thought he might cry during the "I'm So Ronery" song. I saw a deleted scene where Ben Affleck was present during the Film Actors Guild. Instead of a puppet, he was just somebody's hand. The way the hand opened and closed to talk was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Jen Murray - Fuck Yeah

Matttt Damonnnn. Apparently, out of all the dolls they had made Damon's came in looking a little extra special. And the guys just rolled with it 🤣 PS. You should do the South Park movie. But have fun with the censors. They went ham with the vulgar speech.

Here in Britain film posters have certificates on them to say what age they are appropriate for. The certificate it shows will also say why it is such. This was a fifteen, which means absolutely nobody under fifteen allowed. And the explanation was 'contains *** nudity strong language violence and gore. All involving puppets.' I laughed my head off when I read that. I recall seeing a tv ad for it also, which went out before 9pm. We can only have adult stuff on tv after then. So the line 'Team America has once again ******d off the entire world' somehow became 'hacked off...'. Which reminds me of seeing an ad for a certain Tarantino movie in 2009, which just said the title was 'INglorious.'.

The Fantastic Mr Fox is a pretty great puppet/stop motion animation movie! I didn't think I would enjoy it going into it but it's pretty fun! Plus 90 minutes of George Clooneys sensual voice. Hello!

Love that the puppeteers were asked to dumb it down and make the movement less realistic. A puppet movie well worth watching is Strings.

You mentioned celebrity reaction, Matt Damon said he was confused but later thought it was great, Hans Blix (the UN guy eaten by sharks) thought it was hilarious, George Clooney said he would have been offended NOT to have been in there (he was actually a voice in the South Park movie, playing a surgeon, in reference to his part in ER), and even Alec Baldwin said he found it funny. On the other hand, Sean Penn was absolutely furious (to the point that he sent an angry letter to Matt and Trey).

Freedom isn't free, it costs a BUCK O FIVE ✌🇺🇸

Jen, as others have mentioned, this is a homage/ parody of the '60's British series Thunderbirds. They also did two films, Thunderbirds Are Go, and Thunderbird 6, They both are a fun watch, On a completely different note. A great stop-motion that is a drama us called Anomalisa. Highly rated but underappreciated,

'Nothin' like lookin' through a rainy window when you're sad'... Man; well said

This came out when I was stationed at Oasn Air Base, South Korea. It was freaking FANTASTIC! 😂😂😂

I love thst joke is you see the strange moment of the puppets, like steps here and there not touching the ground, walkung on air, etc. Because o ne controlling the moments actually had to dumb it down and make those moments show. They are good enough to actually make the moment real life like with no jerky moments. Love this film , ut great satire on over the top action movies

"i'm ronery" is such a well written song lol... i frequently sing it in the shower for some reason....

You should absolutely watch some behind the scenes docs. There's so many incredible details in the sets and props that you just don't notice at first

Hi Jen!🙂Trey Parker & Matt Stone from South Park said they would never make another puppet film again. There is an unrated version of this film, that contains like 30 seconds more of puppet sex.😄 That is not a joke. I don't think there are any behind the scenes stuff on the bluray. They make fun of Matt Damon on South Park too, where he just says his name. There is no particular reason, other than being funny. The 270 puppets for the film were made by the Chiodo Bros. They also made "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" (1988). While it is a silly 80s movie, the clown designs a very impressive. Great reactions to this well made puppet film, Jen!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Jen: "Puppet kiss!" Me: Oh just wait.......lol

I sense JenMurray is loving this movie.

“That’s my face” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 😘

Was gonna put the bins out but it can wait 😊

This movie is a sub-genre of comedy unto itself. A class above, in a league of its own. I’ve had the America! theme song as my alarm clock for the past ten years. I wake up to freedom every day. 🇺🇸 🫡 🍻

In the commentary to this movie, the South Park guys talk about one of the options for making this film was to get the script of the Day.After Tomorrow make it in puppet form. And then release it on the day after the day after tomorrow was released and call the movie "The Day After The Day After Tomorrow" They ultimately made this movie which is an excellent movie

IVE GOT 5 TERRORISTS GOING SOUTHEAST DOWN BAKKA LAKKA DAKKA STREET

Fun Fact: If you look at the palm trees in the Egypt scene, the fronds are woven out of money...because money grows on trees in the middle east.

apparently the real puppeteers were too good, so they had to say make it more look as good, the cobblestones were croissants

03:15 i never noticed that 😂 the ground is made out of Croissants 😂😂😂

that hammer made me laugh for way longer than it shouldve
