What's fascinating about this show, is that it's the only show to feature Bush pre-9/11. So none of the plots center around war, terrorism, etc, like every other caricature and parody of Bush that came after it.
@@Leon-zu1wpThe show was canceled because it was too expensive to produce. Each episode cost approximately $1 million and Comedy Central did not want to pay that much for it. The show ended before the 9/11 terrorist attacks even happened.
Really! The "Midas touch" notion ignores such flashes in the pan as Time Warped, Princess and especially Sassy Justice. I mean, what was even up with that last one?
My favorite episode was the finale, where Dick Cheney takes over, and George is out on his ass trying a bunch of different jobs that turn into their OWN sitcom parodies, like he gets hired as a teacher and his life becomes like "Welcome Back Kotter", a bartender and his life becomes "Cheers", etc
I remember there was a plot where Bush was holding a rave at the white house, and Dick Cheney tried to seize control of the US, but George Bush took it back in a wrestling match. Politics were something else pre 9/11.
I definitely thought that the September of that year had something to do with the show ending. I'm proud of Matt and Trey for getting cancelled on their own merits.
It wasnt risky to make fun of republicans back then. They were the jokes of the world and everyone mercilessly made fun of them. It was until republicans started resorting to terrorist tactics like threatening anyone who talked bad about them did it stop because show runners wimped out and didnt stand up to them.
I loved this show, at least partially because I grew up in Kennebunkport where the Bushes spend their summers. Barbara used to come into the video store where I worked to rent movies for the grandkids lol
as a lifelong fan of matt and trey, i unironically think "that's my bush!" might be the best thing they've ever done. it's so good and it is so unfair that no one watched it and died a quiet, unceremonious death. i would give ANYTHING for them to make a reunion show in the vein of typical sitcom reunion shows, it would be such an unbelievably funny move and all 20 of us who love this show would be in heaven
They should do a one-off sketch called "That's My Trump", with Donald in the White House. Larry bursts in, as usual, only Donald has him arrested for trespassing.
@@ExplorerDS6789 Why not one about Biden where everyone barges in because the door is unlocked and there is a big threat to the White House from all the people inhabiting the White House, so they send them all off on buses across the country and then use our tax dollars to give them free healthcare and housing? Wouldn't that be hilarious?
This show is a perfect time capsule of the South Park Republican edginess that I definitely participated in as a millennial teenager in the 2000s. We thought we were so cool and politically with it because we watched stuff like this or The Daily Show. What a simpler time!
The era of the nihilist/centrist. The era of Gen X politics. The edgy opinion of making fun of both sides and saying “I’m not racist. I hate everybody!” It was the era of Norm McDonald, Southpark, Attitude era WWF, and Jackass. Definitely fun at the time.
To this day, when driving through a bad neighborhood, I still think of the Jefferson's parody they did on this show. "Well we movin' on down! To the crappy side of town!"
I think it was a bit ahead of its time, nobody got the joke. I think the inspiration may have come from the infamous "Heil Honey I'm Home!" sitcom in the UK, which had a similar premise... although Hitler in a sitcom was probably a bridge too far.
Kurt Fuller is always awesome, his casting as "MC Rove" was inspired. He's the best part of the Hulk Hogan movie: No Holds Barred, he basically plays Vince McMahon and he's INCREDIBLE.
It wouldn’t be the last time John D’Aquino would have a role in a 2000s sitcom about the President of the United States, as he would lend his talents to star in one of the greatest anime of all time: Cory in the House. (I’m being silly of course, but I’m very sure any Gen Z viewers of this channel would likely recognize John D’Aquino right away.)
I was in a stage show once with John about saving Christmas from the devil (played by Dom Deluise's son) by bringing literally Burt Reynolds to our home town. Our community theater director had some weird connections, man. Anyway, John was awesome. Just the chilliest, most down to earth guy. This was after Corey in the House. I wish I would have known this existed then. I would have asked him about Matt and Trey.
I never saw that film, but It’s trailer lives in my memory for being featured on the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II” VHS, under its original title “Stepkids.”
I think you meant Stepkids. lol jk Sorry, this was imo the better title and made more since. The name change was so dumb. I spent years trying to find that movie because of the TMNT 90’a live action movie trailer. Lol I’ll never forgive.
It’s fascinating just how this show came to be and how they originally intended to make the show about Al Gore since they thought he’d win, but once George W. Bush won, they changed it to a show about Bush. Great video Joe, I hope you’re doing well. Keep up the great work and take care!
The South Park 25th anniversary concert was an experience I wish more shows got. The Simpsons took the Hollywood Bowl…but it wasn’t proshot AND the show lasted another decade.
_That's My Bush!_ was brilliant in the respect that it mainly parodied sitcom tropes instead of mocking George W. Bush (as everyone else was doing) - but the novelty lasted about an episode. The premise was better suited to a sketch or a special than it was to a series.
Might have worked as a limited series but I don't think was an easy sell to networks at the time. I still remember the final episode with all the other characters being terrified of Dick Cheney,
I think i was one of the few people who liked this when it first aired. I remember trying to talk to people about it and no one had seen it or could hardly believe it was a real thing. Lol
This show's existence really did show Trey and Matt's colossal misjudgement of who'd win a presidential election wasn't just a one time fluke. History Repeating Itself, and Like Poetry It Rhymes & Hwatnot; I guess.
One plotline I remember 23 years later was Princess trying to become less dingy by taking memory enhancers, but she accidentally orders "mammory enhancers" and her tits comically get bigger and bigger throughout the episode. 😂 Shame this show only got 8 episodes.
Honestly “lesser known Matt & Trey pieces” are often my favorite things to watch. Even if they’re cheesy and bad, they have that unavoidable Parker & Stone flavor that I do adore so much. Haven’t watched this (yet) but I have seen all their movies many, many times. I wouldn’t say everything of theirs becomes a success by any means, but I don’t think many things of theirs are anything less than spot on their style. Very very few of their things ever got derailed by studio notes or a drive for commercialization (although South Park of current day is definitely on that edge lol)
Matt Stone had one of the greatest jewfros of all time. If one thing fell short, it was the use of this beautiful jewfro more in the visual medium. The cameo in "Cannibal" just wasn't enough for its glorious froness.
This show was great, decades later and the theme song still pops into my head. Also the classic line. “We have the right to bear arms, but not to arm bears”
I fondly remember this show coming out when I was 16/17 (right before things got completely derailed by 9/11) and it was definitely an acquired taste leaning hard on the viewer knowing sitcom history. I still quote the "youth in Asia" joke to this day so was thrilled to see it used here. Not sure how much steam the concept as a whole held but am glad we got what we did.
I bet I would have really enjoyed the show if I knew about it at the time. I would have turned 13 years old around the time that the show ended. I think it would simply be awesome if this show just happened to be available on a streaming site today so I can easily find it
This show was pretty funny back in the day. That episode around the cat euthanasia still gets quotes from me. 'Push the button Punkin' and in Kevorkian dead pan 'I am Laura Bush' Just a show too good for the time it came out.
I don't know if that one would even qualify as Almost a Cult film. There's nothing special about it but I always thought Candy and Levi worked well together and I was entertained. Meg Ryan was a cutie as usual.
Thought about this show a few months ago and managed to get a DVD copy of it. Seen this when I was like 12-13 late at night and loved the hoaky sitcom stuff. Way better than what was on Nick @ Nite
It was SO funny! I bought the entire series on ITunes many years ago. It actually holds up far beyond the Bush years… It just comes off as a really funny campy sitcom
Hilariously, That's My Bush was also the first appearance of Carolyn Minnott, who would, a couple years after, go on to play Lisa's mother Claudette in The Room.
That’s my Al? Funny, they thought Hillary would won too. They’re not always right like the Simpsons. I have been a South Park fan when it came out. Being Matt’s age, I totally relate to their humor
A show like this is SORELY needed, nowadays!! Anyways, i remember seeing ads for that's my bush, but never saw any episodes. Looks like a brilliant piece of satire, & i love brilliant satire. I do, however, remember watching Lil Bush, though. You forgot to mention that John D'Aquino later went on to portray a fictitious U.S. president, on Cory in the house.
I remember being a dumb teenager and totally not appreciating how great this show was. It went right over my head. Now I can't understand why it failed.
I remember watching the whole series as it came out after the election... I loved this show just as much as I loved Base-ketball... I even bought the whole series because it was so difficult to find and I knew it would one day be gone...

I swear Comedy Central did reruns of this when Bush got re-elected in 2004. I was 8 when I started watching South Park so there’s no way I ever saw this prior.
The problem with shows like is they will always be terribly dated after a certain point. No matter how funny they might be, these shows always have a premise that only works if you were around at the time to understand what they were satirizing. And of course, it also only works if this can be looked back on a moment in time that was "weird," as opposed to feeling like a quant time period compared to future chaos.
That's my Bush is a fantastic parody of the tired 90s sitcom format. So many possibilities with that premise and they did the same crap that every other sitcom has done before. Just brilliant. Me and some friends from school reference it at least on a monthly basis. The final episode where George has to find a new job is my favourite.
It's amazing how the creators of South Park could create a comedy where not a single joke lands. Just watching this review was painful I can't imagine watching the entire series.
i like when they did the reverse jeffersons episode and had the theme song in the middle ," movin on down, movin on down to the crappy side of townnnn"
Crazy timing, I just finished watching this show a couple of days ago. I've heard about it here and there for years. It's an even more interesting watch (and palate cleanser) after seeing Timothy Bottoms' portrayal in "Johnny Got His Gun."
What's fascinating about this show, is that it's the only show to feature Bush pre-9/11. So none of the plots center around war, terrorism, etc, like every other caricature and parody of Bush that came after it.
And the fact that the show was canceled because Bush was TOO popular to be hated on after 9/11. Truly a very tumultuous Presidency.
@@Leon-zu1wpThe show was canceled because it was too expensive to produce. Each episode cost approximately $1 million and Comedy Central did not want to pay that much for it. The show ended before the 9/11 terrorist attacks even happened.
Thanks for pointing that out! Fascinating
Sh*t, you're right!
It wasnt just making fun of bush though. it was making fun of the presidency, elections, even us.....
Trey and Matt’s weirder and more forgotten projects are always fascinating to me
Really! The "Midas touch" notion ignores such flashes in the pan as Time Warped, Princess and especially Sassy Justice. I mean, what was even up with that last one?
Thanx for giving me shit to track down and check out
@@KenLieck the mormon pornstar movie is pretty funny
"Orgazmo" is definitely worth viewing for the term 'stunt-cock' alone.
@@KenLieckSassy Justice was mainly an excuse to have fun with deepfake 😂 I loved it
My favorite episode was the finale, where Dick Cheney takes over, and George is out on his ass trying a bunch of different jobs that turn into their OWN sitcom parodies, like he gets hired as a teacher and his life becomes like "Welcome Back Kotter", a bartender and his life becomes "Cheers", etc
Of course, there's also "Witty Banter", where his life becomes every NBC sitcom set at a magazine in the late 90's.
Love how they had a theme song for each transition. "White House Wrestler" being one of the funniest to me.
@@Unquestionablei wonder if Trey and Matt had fun making all those different themes.
RIP Marcia Wallace
I got this show on DVD! Literally got it free from a pawn lol. I think it's pretty good
Oh hey, I didn't hallucinate this show after all.
0:11 I swear, these two went through a phase where they just refused to fix their hair before interviews 🤣
I remember there was a plot where Bush was holding a rave at the white house, and Dick Cheney tried to seize control of the US, but George Bush took it back in a wrestling match. Politics were something else pre 9/11.
If you want another extremely short lived Matt and Trey show, check out the animated series, "Princess". It was cancelled after only two episodes!!!
Hey! Hello you!
they also had that deep fake show which didn't last long but it was terrible

I watched it
It wasn't a show about Bush, it was a show about sitcoms.
Exactly!
The problem, if you liked Bush - he was portrayed as a buffoon. If you hated him, he was shown to be an okay guy and not evil at all. Lose-lose
Should have made it a show… about NOTHING!
Isn't that what he said?
That's what the video is about. It gets brought up many times. You don't have many original thoughts, do you?
Timothy Bottoms gave a dramatic portrayal of Bush in D.C. 9/11 Time of Crisis.
Imagine watching those back to back.

Ah, Kurt Fuller! I literally just finished watching the entirety of Psych for the first time.
Matt and Trey are legit friendship goals
I think it was a bit ahead of its time, nobody got the joke. I think the inspiration may have come from the infamous "Heil Honey I'm Home!" sitcom in the UK, which had a similar premise... although Hitler in a sitcom was probably a bridge too far.
Idk I'm still holding on hope for a full series of heil honey being out there
@@heggy_69 I hope, that show shouldn't stay partially found
Having a sitcom about him does not feel very different from having movies making fun of him to me.
Having watched it, I agree and am amazed how many people completely missed the point of the thing.
This show was like a "hanging chad"
Kurt Fuller is always awesome, his casting as "MC Rove" was inspired.
He's the best part of the Hulk Hogan movie: No Holds Barred, he basically plays Vince McMahon and he's INCREDIBLE.
Speaking of Hogan! Kurt was in Auto Focus, film on Hogans Heros!
@@OikPoinFive Kurt was born to play Klink in a Hogan's Heroes reboot

John D’Aquino will always be beloved by us sci fi nerds for his roles on seaQuest and Quantum Leap.
I LOVED this show. Just as much as a sitcom spoof as Get a Life. Completely unhinged yet so enjoyable.
Chris Elliott is such an underrated comedian
Get a life was great
I want to vist the alternate reality where we got Everybody Loves Al
You and me both, on so many levels. The 21st century story would be so vastly different…
The opening theme to "That's My Bush!" has lived in the back of my brain for 23 years.
It wouldn’t be the last time John D’Aquino would have a role in a 2000s sitcom about the President of the United States, as he would lend his talents to star in one of the greatest anime of all time: Cory in the House.

@@-dtuyhnjhggvjjjn South Park during the 2010s was an abysmal mess most of the time.
The Bush mockery will always be great. He was such a goof
I did liked this show. i just don't remember anything that happened in it. Lol
That's my Bush is a fantastic parody of the tired 90s sitcom format. So many possibilities with that premise and they did the same crap that every other sitcom has done before. Just brilliant.
Me and some friends from school reference it at least on a monthly basis. The final episode where George has to find a new job is my favourite.
90s sitcom format?That’s the format sitcoms had since I love Lucy
Probably. Can't say I'm familiar with comedy series from the 50s and 60s. I've seen a handful of episodes of I Dream Of Jeannie but that's about it.
It's amazing how the creators of South Park could create a comedy where not a single joke lands. Just watching this review was painful I can't imagine watching the entire series.
I cant imagine trying to make a season out of it
Season 20 of south park is an entire season of jokes not landing.
Must be nice to find things funny, don't remember the last time a TV show or movie made me genuinely laugh.
That’s my Trump!
90% of Trey and Matt’s career is built on pure spite
i like when they did the reverse jeffersons episode and had the theme song in the middle ," movin on down, movin on down to the crappy side of townnnn"
Crazy timing, I just finished watching this show a couple of days ago. I've heard about it here and there for years. It's an even more interesting watch (and palate cleanser) after seeing Timothy Bottoms' portrayal in "Johnny Got His Gun."
President Ramirez from Cory in the house playing Bush's neighbor makes this incredibly funny.
that's my bush was so good.
I love how they've ended up being wrong in their election predictions and keep having to switch their shows last minute.
I knew I recognized Bottoms from somewhere! Invaders From Mars!! I love that 80’s remake and the dad was so nice he played… that’s crazy..
