South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are no strangers to taking the piss out of celebrities. In fact, they’ve done it at least once in almost every one of their 21 seasons, so they’ve certainly built up a hefty catalogue of hilarity there.
While there’s far too many to cover off in one article, some are just so fucking perfect it hurts. Here’s their celebrity dunkings we reckon rule the hardest.
Rob Schneider
Let’s be real, Rob Schneider has done a lot of very average movies over the years, particularly the ones targeted at a teen audience. The Hot Chick, The Animal, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, yeesh. You get the idea.
Throughout the episode The Biggest Douche in the Universe, a number of film trailers starring the actor are shown and holy shit, they absolutely roast him. Check them out below.
Tom Cruise
One of the celebrities they’ve nailed the most throughout the series, Cruise has appeared in a number of episodes. Most notably, the episode Trapped in the Closet is all about his refusal to come out of an actual closet after being told by Stan – who Cruise believes is the reincarnation of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard – that he’s not a very good actor.
The episode also includes John Travolta, Nicole Kidman and R. Kelly, all of whom plead with Tom to come out of the closet. Check out a clip starring Travolta below, oh mah gahd.
Cruise also appeared in episode 200 and 201 as the main celebrity suing the entire town for calling him a fudge packer whilst he was physically packing fudge into boxes at a factory.
Morgan Freeman
One of the few celebrities to be parodied in a positive way, Morgan Freeman appeared in the episode The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs to narrate a horrific book written by the kids of South Park when it becomes a world-wide hit.
He also shows up to explain convoluted plot twists in the episode Obama Wins. When asked why, he says that each time he explains something he gains a new freckle.
I got to play the upcoming game, South Park: The Fractured But Whole recently and was delighted when Freeman showed up to teach me how to craft items under the guise of making Mexican food at his restaurant, Freeman’s Tacos.
Kudos to Trey Parker for voicing him, because his impression is fucking spot on.
Al Gore
Portrayed as an unstable weirdo, Gore is obsessed with protecting humanity from ManBearPig; a half-man, half-bear, half-pig. Work that one out. He also wears a cape and pretends to fly around like a lunatic.
The obvious gag here is Gore’s high profile push to fight global warming thinly veiled as his search for a mythical beast. “I’m trying to warn everybody but no one’s taking me serial,” he says.
Sure, it’s not exactly true to his IRL persona, but it’s fucking hilarious regardless. Check him out in the series below.
He also shows up in the video game, South Park: The Stick of Truth as a boss you must fight, which is great if you’ve ever felt like kicking the shit out of him for whatever reason.
Kanye West
Hooo boy, Yeezy sure does cop it good. Appearing in two episodes, West is shown as an egotistical maniac who can’t seem to work out why people are laughing at him. Just like real life.
In the episode Fishsticks, the boys come up with a hilarious joke about fish dicks that sweeps the world and poor old Kanye is the only one who doesn’t get it. After going on a murderous rampage to have it explained to him, he simply accepts that he’s a gay fish and goes to live in the ocean with other gay fish.
West also popped up in a recent trailer the The Fractured But Whole. Check it out below.
Bono
Last but absolutely not least, South Park take the ever-loving piss out of U2 singer Bono. Or should I say, shit?
In the episode More Crap, Randy takes a gigantic shit that’s so impressive he attempts to break the world record which is held by the Irish singer. We later find out that Bono doesn’t actually hold the record, he is the record. He is the largest piece shit in human form. Amazing.
I challenge you to not laugh at the impressions of his ‘YEAH’s in the video below.
