I'm so sick of RUclips having "naughty" words censored like it's network television.
@Logan Waltz doesn't make me any less sick of it. I find it ironic though that a channel that seems to want to buck against the system and status quo, atleast that's what I take away from their analysis of things, is self censoring themselves to appease the corporate over lords. We need some "tegridy" on youtube
@@MrCornWolf I agree, but I also respect them getting paid.
@@MrCornWolf Then you pay for it. Something tells me that you aren't one of this channel's patrons but, you want them to risk their living to fulfil your aesthetic requirements? Pay up or shut up. Google and their like exist to make profits and advertisers call the tune. They don't want their products associated with potty mouthed youtubers. Fact. So either, we the audience have to live with that. So, our only choice is to accept that, or patronise channels that want to go down that route because what we want costs money. You want high fidelity sound and pictures, you want clips, and you want content that doesn't sound or look like a Tik Toc film, fine. But that costs money.
Come the revolution, the board of directors of RUclips will be the first up against the wall.
Bring up with the sponsors. Their RUclips’s real customers and can get picky with what they advertise on.
"As actors, it is our responsibility to read the newspapers, and then say what we read on television like it's our own opinion."
That was one of the best and most scathing criticisms of the movie. Celebrities using their celebrity status to waste or time with their worthless beliefs on topics and take away airtime from actual experts on those topics is one of my biggest pet peeves at least.

Like the current celeb in COVID 19
Badly singing about getting through the harsh and tuff life inside their 100 mil mansion without donating not even 1/10 of their network to healthcare and hospital
They were so far ahead of the time making fun of celebrities.
@@medexamtoolsdotcom Is that their fault, or the fault of the stupid people who elevate them and don't want to listen to actual experts, sending people like Dr. Andrew Fauci death threats?
It cuts both ways too, George Clooney is married to a human rights lawyer and donates his own money to actual human rights issues, like paying satellite companies to take pictures of mass gravesites in war zones. Ronald Regan was an actor before he got into politics and became President.
This movie is essentially Spongebob saying, "We did it Patrick, we saved the city!"

indeed. but i wouldnt give it a "kinda" deep. they din't got in that deep, because the movie is very complex.
they totally ignored the singing kim jong, for example. that was heartbreaking :<
it's a fantastic south park episode imo. and i wouldn't tell south park "kinda".
but a very nice reflextion and refreshing of the topic.

I think it was pretty relevant when it was release. People forget, but that was a fucked up era
Glad to see this. My friend was lead puppeteer on the movie, did the sex scene puppets etc. A lot of the visual was done after dealing with reality of operating puppets or were happy mistakes (shark scene). The puppets, sadly, are rotting in a warehouse
Not really, Trump is anti world police.
The special effects in this movie really hold up. Kim Jong Il's panthers look so real.
Michael Freed are you trying to tell me thats not how terrorists speak?? 😧😰
@Michael Freed highly accurate depictions of Islamic terrorists. Missed opportunity to show them gangbanging a donkey...for increased realism.

I never noticed the street croissants and I’ve seen that movie like 8-10 times. That’s hilarious.
Same with the Chinese takeaway boxes being buildings in North Korea. This movie somehow keeps getting funnier
I think I'm the only person who's ever notice that the North Korean musical theme has ping pong balls bouncing.
Palms made from dollar bills...
A Korean friend of mine told me the only accurate Korean line in the movie was when they yelled "Kill the American swine!" A line used in the last Brosnan James Bond film.

Ow man, the puking scene that doesn't end is hilarious in this movie
It's one of the greatest political satires ever made, especially in the context of 2001-04 post 9/11 hyper-patriotism. It makes fun of that in a way that's so intelligent.
Yea.. it would be like someone made a blockbuster 2021 both crititic against vaccines and handling of the pandemic...
Two words: Four Lions.
I wouldn’t say in an intelligent way. It’s arguably the dumbest most blatantly obvious form of satirizing Stone and Parker could’ve done, and I think that was intentional.
Team America are the d*cks we don't want but we need.
I saw this in theater high off my ass and its still the funniest thing I’ve EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. I cried 3 times I was laughing so hard. When I first heard “America F- Yeah!” I seized with laughter. Life changing
The extended version of the America song always gets me. Sportsmanship! *scattered cheers* Books! *silence*
I went and saw it in the theatres with my then 50 year old father, who I didn't know that well because he worked 70 hour weeks, and as a result, I viewed him as a total square or a stiff.
We were both dying when the "America, Fuck Yeah" song came on and it was the first time I actually felt like I had bonded with my dad. Thanks Trey and Matt :)
That happened to me when I saw “Machete” in theaters. I couldn’t see through my tears for hours
To this day, I have never laughed so hard at a movie. And the part that pushed me over into hysterics to the point that my brother asked if I needed help wasn't even the funniest part. It was just where I broke because it was too much. When there was a serious conversation happening in the helicopter and the lead puppet was staring in a dramatic pause with pubes hanging off his chin, I just got to the point where I could hardly breathe from laughter.
When it came out on DVD we didn't realize it had bonus scenes. So my brother got his turn to laugh until his face turned purple during the scat section of the sex scene. Our mother came to investigate why he sounded like he was dying and we had to try to explain. Which, you know, made us laugh harder.
83gemm For me, Borat is on par. That hotel scene never fails to make me laugh cry

I remember when I was about 14, one year I got enrolled into a class were we got to learn how to start a business and work on repairing bikes and stuff. It was a class filled with the "bad students", the troublemakers with poor grades etc and yeah, I happened to end up in there (I was average tho gradewise even if I didn't care much). It was chaotic if anything but it worked, chill but motivated teachers helps a lot. One friday it was the last class for the day, the teachers rolled in a tv and brought candy, chips and soda to us because we've done quite well the last weeks and we watched Team America together. It was pretty awesome and we had a great laugh. I remember it being such a funny movie.

"American foreign policy since the Bush era." Uh huh, sure. Go ahead and go back several few decades there, sport. And it kept on going after Bush.
Honestly it's been that way since World War II. The Korean War, Vietnam, Panama, Desert Storm, Kosovo. Not to mention all the proxy wars we fought against the Russians in South America, Africa and the Middle East.
@@num1shinfan Actually you have to keep going back further. All the way back to it's founding. But it began ramping up under Teddy and Woodrow. The USA has always violently engaged with the rest of the world in order to promote the interests of its wealthy elite.

K A your argument is so cliched and overused that I’m almost positive you could find any number of articles debunking it with a simply google search.
Team America is one of the funniest movies of all time and South Park is the absolute best and funniest TV show of all time. To say Matt and Trey are geniuses still feels like an understatement. I've been obsessed with South Park since I was 12, I'm 36 now and it's still as fresh and hilarious as its ever been. If anything has changed, its gotten better and smarter.

2. The Ladbroke Grove rail crash (Brink of Disaster)

5. ISIS and al qaeda (the entire Captain Scarlet series)

deep or not, we can't deny how epic the songs in this movie are.
The last time I heard this many bleeps, I was trying to watch a Katt Williams Comedy show on basic cable.
I feel like at 11:46 you're missing the key difference between D's and A's. They appear functionally the exact same, abrasive abusive and not backing down. The key difference is in the motivation - D's want something. They are motivated by their own selfishness. If the thing they want is destroyed, they experience loss. A's on the other hand don't care. They may want a thing, but more important than them getting what they may want is denying anyone else from having it or degrading it until no-one else wants it (eg: shitting all over everything).
The difference between A and D is that A attacks P, D attacks A.
Some Americans made up this analogy, so they could pretend the evil things their nation does is not evil. But the truth is, the USA is an A.
@@yasminc7827 Agreed it is pure self justification : look we may look as A but in fact we are D because we make it seems like we listen to P. But in the end the USA are A and they like it.
@@shuaguin5446 Question is, will a D f the USA?!
Doesn’t seem like it will be necessary though. You can’t get away with being an A if you’re not THE world superpower, and that’s coming to an end for the USA.
True poetry
@RionTwist: It doesn't really work like that. Everybody has their own agenda, and they want something. Even terrorists and dictators aren't in it for the sake of destruction itself, they usually want either money or power or both. The difference between Ds and As is, well, I don't really think there's any. It's more of a justification: "We f**k things up and we f**k you, but we also sometimes f**k people who want to f**k you, which makes us the good guys." It's more a matter of persepctive than anything else - every A is D in their own story.
Yeah but in fairness to Kim, Hans Brix was breakin his barrs :)
Sometimes I think this movie is the ultimate example of not shooting the messenger. Those celebrities protesting the war were right in the end, even if you don't like them.
"looks at thumbnail"

Rizki Ananda. D.P.A we need balance
This was a great episode! I liked how you presented the many nuances of Team Americas messages and were critical of them as well. The fact that you tied your analysis to current events was very convincing, too.
TapIntoTheEssence I’ve heard South Park be called “radical centrism” but never heard of a South Park Republican.
Honestly, I think both can be true. Trey Parker and Matt Stone do not care about your opinions. They got enough clout and money to do what they want and be happy. However, there commentary is still pretty good. I think it gives a different perspective that a more liberal person might not be exposed to. But Team America is literally radical centerism.
I love the movie, but it’s conclusion is “it’s a net good so STFU.”
CardsNHorns04 Eh I feel like the conclusion is more “yeah you’re right to complain about us (America) but you still need us”
The speech at the end about the “3 types of people” is actually very true and extremely poignant. And it relates to real-life foreign policy; sometimes we *do* overreach with our military, but on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got naive people who think dictators can be reasoned with.
Ultimately, Team America ends up lampooning the “anti-war” side more than it does neoconservatism-which I don’t think a lot of viewers expected. And I like that.
@@LOSTGAM3R Except by the movie's premiere "anti-war" side turned out to be right when Iraq turned to chaos after Iraq invasion but you can say that to poor timing and all. There are things that sitting on the fence making things worse; like Climate Change, government corruption, corporate domination, and LGBTQ rights (though I give South Park credit for the last one).
And the fact that Team America was portrayed in the right without any redemption (like actually trying to stop collateral damages) and the creators' tendency to not talk to intellectuals, especially South Park (or considering serious issues as "celebrity causes" rather than portraying actual people solving that issue chewing out said celebrities, ManBearPig being an example).
Though Kim Jong Il's part reminded me of Russia and actual assholes using actual criticism of America to justify their questionable policy (like giving Snowden asylum yet have no issues silencing critics themselves)
I still VIVIDLY remember the Dicks/Pussies/Assholes scene while seeing it in theaters, mainly because this elderly couple sitting in front of me looked *HORRIFIED* as it was going on!
They already were shaking their heads in disgust/disappointment through most of the movie (not even sure why they stayed), but during that scene, they looked like they were going to explode! They were at LEAST in their 80's, and the old man got up & left his wife before the scene even ended, walking out of the theater. He was waiting for outside once it was over, but my goodness, my friends & I were laughing more at their reactions than the movie itself.
Why did they go see it in the first place what else were they expecting form southpark creators 😂
If an Actor raises an issue about climate change, people laugh. But, when an Expert raises the same issue the same people dismiss it as fake news and believe that the reason an expert is saying it is because they only want to get paid.
No shit they’re getting paid, you think people bust their ass to get their PhD. and go into underwater basket weaving for the rest of their lives? They gotta eat like you and me!

3:39 um, didnt we (USA) sell WMDs (chemical nerve agents) to Iraq during the Iran-iraq war?
Yeah. That was a big goof on our part. But Iran seemed like a comparatively bigger threat than Saddam when the ayatollahs took over. So we backed Saddam against them, even though Saddam was not an ideal paragon to work with.
It came back to bite us in the ass after Operation Desert Storm. What do you think Gulf War Syndrome is? Over 1/3 of gulf war veterans were exposed to some toxic substance during the campaign. Most were US supplied.
So there were WMDs in Iraq, but Bush kept all hush-hush about where they came from to preserve integrity. And that’s why people today are still saying that he lied about them. Because we could not bare to make public our own mistake. A lot of grey morality.
Matt....Damon
MATTDAMON...
Matt Damon still being hurt by how he’s portrayed in this film just warms my heart. Watch the reddit AMA video where he answers a question about Team America and the pain is alive in his face.
Trey and Matt are actual comedic geniuses. And I love how most critics don’t just dismiss their comedy as “offensive for being offensive sake.” Most understand the satire and can appreciate the dumber jokes because they are simply elevated by the intelligent satire. Trey and Matt make us Coloradans proud.?
If Stone and Parker were the fearless iconoclasts they fancy themselves to be, they wouldn't just punch down all the time. They made a movie vilifying anti-war activists at a time when the country was in the grips of post-9/11 jingoism hysteria.
Agree. I think the film is hilarious, as are many SP episodes, but ultimately they've had very bad opinions on many issues throughout the years and this film added to an already toxic American culture (even if it also kinda satirized the American ultra-nationalism, it did so in a very forgiving way). I do disagree that they never punch up though, there are many SP episodes where they absolutely criticize the powerful.
Idk if it's deep or dumb but it's certainly hilarious. First film I watched as a 8 year old that really made me understand satiric/parodic humour
After that part with Zizek, this made me read his work even more.
The whole message from my eyes is "Just don't push it too far" Team America pushes it too far and destroys everything while the film actors guild pushes their anti-america message so far that they team up with a guy that's much worse
Your videos give me soooo so much to think about and research. Thank you for making these and thank you for the wonderful bibliography.
"Everyone's favorite movie with puppet sex..."
There... There are other movies with puppet sex? 🤢
"Happytime murders" which is freaking good! (its muppet sex, but I think it still counts)
Thrizzeat, first day on the Internet hmm?
Mr. Perfect Cell technically Team America are marionettes which are sub species of puppets.
Also muppets is puppets and marionettes together.

Upstart: Let us turn your debt trap into another debt trap but with good feels.
Blaming Colin Powell for ISIS and not Obama & McCain takes some real mental gymnastics.
So, with two decades' hindsight, who had a better take on the Iraq War when it was being launched: celebrities like Sean Penn and Janeane Garofalo, or neocon "experts" like Bill Kristol and David Brooks? I'd love to see Stone and Parker asked this today.
I take it "deep or dumb" in the title pulls more clicks than "philosophy of" as you use it even when the result is positive and everyone already agrees.
I think it might be the premise that simply the idea of conflict drives clicks. Again probably true, but could just be human nature that we seek conflict.
"This video might be arguing that the thing I like is dumb. I need to have a look and tell them they're wrong if they think it is" Yeah, It's a pretty old trick.
Agree but I think “deep or dumb” fits better to a puppet movie.
It’d be pretty dumb to have a series called deep or dumb and never land on deep. Like half of them should be positive right?
@@huckthatdish Yes, but then just like dumb, I would expect it to be movies/shows where people either tend to miss stuff or there's a general split of people who think it's deep or dumb. I think people are pretty much on the same page of 'the South Park' guys stuff being reliably clever and juvenile. So it's a question without any surprise to the answer.

To ask, should we exploit people, both groups would say Yes (with Group A having the caveat that those people are rich and Group B having the caveat that those people are poor). To answer No would be to go against both Group A and Group B, not a middling ground - where you'd exploit the middle class. In that sense Group C (to give them a name) is not centrist (midpoint between two sides), but separate from that description.
@@alexdebstep3424 note that's 2 questions not one statement. Even if the 2 questions are reworded to no one should be exploited, is not pissing on and pissing off the 2 biggest sides in an argument.
It's centrist to think pissing on divergent sides inherently marks a success.
@@anthonynorman7545 the original statement does, in retrospective not agree with either of what we said. Pissed on - mocked by. Pissed off - annoyed. You know you've said a political statement when you are both mocked by and have annoyed both sides. That's neither centrist nor Third Way. That's just being an asshole
As the video points out, have you really done that, when one side is trying to be nuanced, and you end up contradicting parts of their nuanced argument to look 'centrist'?

The amount of sensor beeps in this video is so gold 👌🏻 I was LMFAO
Omfg Sean Penn really "blamed himself" are you joking
youtube: you gotta self-censor or you are not giving you what you deserve.
Loved that you use the terminology from the film in this deadpan way XD
Chappelle: “WHERE IS JA?”
This is a hilarious amount of bleeping. 😝
from the creators of South Park, you would expect that sort of thing
Yeah. I wonder if Jared kisses his mother with that mouth. 😄
Why do I feel that he's being a 🌮 bowing to youtube's thought and speech policing?
@@damaskosc dancing around the outer fringes of the new youtube algorithm can be tricky...indie producers are being pushed aside by major corporations and interest who do not like being made fun of or gleefully excoriated and their hypocrisy exposed by the light of truth
Nah it's really annoying
It’s deeply dumb and dumbly deep
Parker and Stone, comedic geniuses.💯

Congrats on 500 videos! May you have a good time making another 500.
Wow Wisecrack. I always thought the whole “d*cks f*ck p*ssies” rant was nonsense. Now I see what it meant. Good work.
The speech at the end about the “3 types of people” is actually very true and extremely poignant. And it relates to real-life foreign policy; sometimes we *do* overreach with our military, but on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got naive people (the p*ssies) who think dictators can be reasoned with.
@@LOSTGAM3R nah it was totally off base. that whole stick is what they want you to think, not how things work. war are waged for a single reason. profit motive.
If you think that fighting someone so exxon can make a few bucks is bad then you must be a pussy. That argument makes no sense.
Another thing you seem to be misunderstanding is that dictators need 'reasoning' with. There is no need whatsoever to interact with a nation we dont like. Also some of biggest allies are dictators, so theres that.

The Creature from Jekyll Island explains this all perfectly.
I had no idea "South Park Republican" was a thing, but it seems I fit right in.
I think the intro scene was absolute genius.How it makes you think its going to be a crappy puppet movie,then it zooms out to another puppet controlling that puppet.That blew my mind.
Hans did such a laughable job, considering we've now found literally tens of thousands of chemical warheads in Iraq.
What are you talking about?
Reminder that there was no evidence of WMDs

WMDs were irrelevant, just an excuse. The real goal was regime change. Mission accomplished
