The South Park Guide to Life

Product Information

Parker and Stone are on no one's side. In the 15 years South Park has been on cable TV, it has been accused of being too conservative, too liberal, too amoral, too moral, too sophisticated and too crude. It is also, repeatedly, cited as one of the greatest television shows of all time and has won a prestigious Peabody award. It has been criticised by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation ( Glaad) for its use of the word "fag" ("They missed the point," Stone grumbles), and nominated for a Glaad award for outstanding TV for its episode titled Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride. Despite being wealthy enough to delegate, or to stop working altogether, they are as hands-on with South Park as when they started – writing, voicing and directing it. They will be personally involved with The Book Of Mormon for as long as it runs, moving their families from LA to England for the London opening at the end of next month. a b c d e f O'Neal, Sean (March 24, 2010).

Stories abounded in the past two decades of Parker and Stone's frattish, brattish behaviour, from farting on colleagues' food to infamously attending the 2000 Oscars dressed as Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez while tripping on acid (their song, Blame Canada, from South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut, was nominated; it lost and they walked out). But today, Parker, 43, and Stone, 41, are a delight: friendly, warm, with none of the bullying or confrontational attitude that colleagues of old had reported.

Butters later writes his own book, The Poop That Took a Pee, which consists solely of simple descriptions of coprophilia juxtaposed with toilet humor. The four boys are convinced that the book will be a failure and publicly expose Butters as a fraud over the first book. Much to their annoyance, however, while readers are not as disgusted by the new book, they nonetheless perceive it as even more profound and continue making their own interpretations. After finishing the book, one crazed reader crashes a taping of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and murders the entire Kardashian family in a mass shooting. It's weird, because in many ways what we do now is the same as what we did when we were 21. We're just trying to make each other laugh." a b c "Kim Kardashian "Honored" to Be Killed on South Park".

I said to Isaac when he came in to see me, 'Look, my mother's Jewish and we've gone there, so come on, man.' It's all got to be OK or none of it is OK," Stone says with a shrug.

Welcome to South Park!

Given their impatience with simplistic absolutes, it is unsurprising that the pair are no fans of certain prominent fellow atheists. "I'm counter-influenced by the neo-atheists, Richard Dawkins and those guys," Stone says. "I'm not convinced that truth is the most important thing in the world. Humans tell stories – that's what happens. I don't get [Dawkins'] trip." This is something of an understatement: when Dawkins made an appearance in South Park he was portrayed as an intolerant snob who was so unobservant he didn't notice the person he was sleeping with was a man. (Dawkins, to his credit, merely complained they got his English accent wrong.) Trey Parker and Matt Stone talk at The Amazing Meeting 5, in January 2007. JREF (August 4, 2010).

Perhaps the strangest thing that's happened to Stone and Parker is that, after years of being much beloved cult favourites, they are at risk of being taken in by the mainstream, all thanks to a musical about Mormons. "When people say, 'Will middle-aged people from middle America like this?' we're like, 'Middle-aged people from middle America made this,'" Parker says. Seidman, Robert (March 25, 2010).

Smart, crude, and hilarious. With one episode, there is a renewed sense of hope that season fourteen will live up to the expectations set before it. ... It's pure gold, South Park style. They have been described as both nihilists and libertarians, suggesting that to make fun of everything is to believe in nothing (or everything). Yet, beneath the simplistic animation and jokes about Hillary Clinton hiding a nuclear device in her vagina (Parker still sniggers at the memory of that episode), South Park is a deeply moral show. Parker and Stone almost never vote, "because we're not allied to one particular side, so it feels painful", Stone says, but it's safe to assume that they veer more towards the left in their attitudes (in one South Park episode, Satan muses how he can win over the people on a particular issue. "I'll do what we always do," one of his assistants replies. "Use the Republicans.") Yet of all the demographics they've teased in their time, the one that has given them the most grief is liberals. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if a British journalist turns up in a future South Park episode, asking annoying questions and ending up getting mangled in some terrible accident. As one of their colleagues said in a 2011 New York magazine profile of the pair, "They're not snotty until you leave the room."But Parker still sounds forlorn: "We just felt sad for him, because he was caught in the middle of two things he loved, and he was a friend. He really loved South Park and he really loved Scientology, and I think he felt he had to quit." Chris Quinn (September 5, 2007).

They're glad that America's most famous Mormon, Mitt Romney, didn't win the election, but only because they think he wouldn't have made a good president, not because of his religion. When I ask if they saw the widely circulated five-minute clip of Romney appearing to flip out about his religion on a radio show, Stone admonishes me for having watched only the shortened version as opposed to the full 20-minute one. "In the original clip, it's the other guy who's really pushing him. Someone cut it to make Romney look bad, which I thought was really shitty."

Whether they're taking on American healthcare or religious tolerance, Parker and Stone overturn expectations hilariously but thoughtfully, and often with a sweeter aftertaste than you expect.
