One of those rare interviews where Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park) gets a little bit different questions then usual. The interview was made in 2005 in Sweden on TV4.
@@jesusnthedaisychain it was actually one saying the first half, and the other saying the second. But your assessment still applies to at least one of them.
We have a lot of common interests and Willow is one of my pseudonyms. Add me on steam, lets make hip hop or some shit. "Willow Sidewise Gerrard" on steam
When trey answered to "what's the nicest thing you can can about matt?" Saying "Matt's my friend... :)" Made the interview babyish but so fuckin hilarious lol
That could mean the world to him though. When I can call somebody my friend it means a lot because I'm.. weird and hard to like so it takes guts to stay with me.
@@jessehenderson2967 It’s a valid point, though. SP is my favorite show ever and nothing will change that, but you’re lying to yourself if you think the show is just as good as it was in the prime years (seasons 1-18). Their shift to focus almost ONLY on political/social stances is what really did them in IMO. The episodes simply aren’t funny anymore, especially the “season 24” abomination
@@dementiajoesmokesnewports6633 Hey, if it sells it sells. I ain't played a CoD game in ten years but i cant sit here and say its complete garbage and should end if people still buy it it in droves.
@@jessehenderson2967 I get your point, but CoD, unlike SP, learned from their mistakes (think of ghosts/infinity years) and actually made a respectable product again. If SP somehow made their show even WORSE, people will still watch because of the reputation it has. Like I said, it’s still the best show ever and I’ll continue to watch every single one, even the woke PC garbage of seasons 19 and beyond. I still have hope that Matt and Trey get tired of pushing their world view onto everyone through the show and just make it an entertaining product once again.
Watched quite a few interviews with these guys and they seem like genuinely nice guys. I find it hilarious that there are people who don't like them. If you end up in their sights you almost certainly deserve it.
YOU sir are a fucking god. oh my god. YES. THIS was the interview I specifically asked you about. holy shit. I don't know how you do it. I've been looking for this interview forever.
Trey is the creative visionary chef of the show, Matt handles the more boring (but still important) business and PR side of the show. And does a few voices like Kyle, Kenny, Gerald and Jesus.
@@matthewattaway2675 That's a HELL OF A LOT more pressure on Trey than Matt. All the writing, musical numbers, and directing are on his shoulders. And he has to get it all out there within 6 days. I'm sure Trey has some valuable creative input and inspiration from his team, but he is the nucleus. Matt is happy to sit and enjoy the ride on Trey's wagon, lol.
@@CheerfullyCynical829 From your comments I'm guessing in your mind Trey does everything and Matt's a freeloader. Do you honestly respect Trey's intelligence so little you think he'd work with someone like that for over 20 years or is it possible you're not seeing the whole picture here?
I think South Park is one of the most important shows ever made. And Team America is honestly one of my favourite films. I hope they do another film at some point in the future, even if it's another original work, I have total confidence they could pull it off again.
There's very very few people who continue to remain fascinating and keep your attention in and throughout every single interview/public appearance they have...Trey and Matt are most definitely two of those people.
Interesting. It seems this interview takes place in between the break of Season 9. As many of us know, Trey almost quit the series in the beginning of the 9th season due to being so overwhelmed with all the work they’d been doing. Might explain why he’s so quiet and laid back here haha.
Yeah. This interview reveals that they obviously overexerted themselves with Team America, so it's perfectly understandable that they'd feel tapped out (especially Trey as the director). Luckily for all of us though, they kept going, and still are going strong even today, more than 15 years later.
Treys been almost quoting South Park for over a decade lol.. it’s really only the last few years that he’s seemed to enjoy his time with the show, lol.
I really love their honesty, in such a business where you get in trouble and get tons of shit for saying anything. They don't give a damn and I love it.
It’s so heartwarming seeing the two of them just hanging out and making each other laugh. They’ve worked together so long. They are both amazing and talented
They will never have any shortage of material, since they satirize *current events.* South Park will end when Trey Parker becomes an invalid. So it still has many, many years.
I thought I might be the biggest Trey & Matt/South Park fan until I came across TheGOODSon’s channel. You’re a god among men, sir, for uploading this kind of rare gold 🙇♂️
In an interview with Lloyd Kaufman, Matt said something to the extent of “Most people can either look smart or be smart but its really hard to do both”
Best friendships mate. As long as the jokes are without malice and everyone in your friend circle gets it. My friends are of different religion and ethnicity but we rip on each other for shits and giggles. A jew, a muslim, a Roman Catholic, a born again christian, a mormon, a disabled boy, and the most hated asshole in all of town. If you are able to make friends out of people who seem so different from you, it means that these people are your soulmates
I'm glad that Matt Damon liked the movie. I remember thinking how 'out of nowhere' that shot at him was... Lol, "MAAATTTTTT DAAAAAAMMMMMMMOOOOOONNNNN" I still don't get what they are trying to imply, but it's still funny.
It’s because when the puppet was made they thought it looked retarded so they just decided to make the character retarded. I forget where they said it. Pretty funny tho
People try so hard to be edgy and different with their personas but these guys are the epitome of edgy, and there will likely be no one to come near how anti-lame Trey Parker and Matt Stone are
@@41xTEN The interview was in 2005. They were on season 9 at this point. At the time I posted the comment season 25 was not out yet it was on season 24. So it is 15 seasons later. It would 25 if the interview was done when they are on their first season. Which was in 1997.
2:44 I shit you not, I literally said Eddie Murphy. Took a sip of water, heard him say it, and I unleashed all of it on the floor. That shit scared surprised me like crazy.
As opposed to Sean Penn, George Clooney thought his portrayal in Team America was hilarious: “I must say I would've been offended if I wasn't in it. "Those guys, they're friends of mine. I helped them get their show on the air and was Sparky the gay dog and was in their South Park movie. Part of the fun about being up here is that we get to be objects of that."
The absolute gold in this interview is when Trey says he will not be doing a sequel I believe him more than anything else he says and I heard about the shoot so this just makes it hilariously definitive mic drop PUPPETS "it will never fucking happen Again...." 2024 I could do it in several hours with Ai😂
Regarding the final comments, and someone who's enjoyed the last few specials, I wonder if the pandemic has been a bit of a blessing for them, creativity-wise.
It always interests me that Trey is usually the backseat guy in interviews when he's obviously got the stones (no pun intended) to be the outspoken director that he's proven to be.
Didn't know they had been to Stockholm where I live now, and straight after they finished their best work too. Would have been so cool to be walking around in Gamla Stan and bumped into them.
