According to Trey Parker and Matt Stone it was apparently excruciatingly difficult making this movie. A simple shot of a puppet turning and walking through a door would take them a dozen takes because of how hard they were to control. I think they said making this movie was the most miserable they'd ever been but it was definitely worth it because the final product is incredible.
The South Park creators said it was so difficult dealing with all the puppets and voice overs in this film, that they would never ever ever make another film with puppets again. Apparantly Matt Damon was quoted in a interview stating-"I thought it was brilliant! I mean, I never understood it, and then I heard an interview with them and they said the puppet came in looking kind of mentally deficient and they didn’t have time to change it, so they just made me someone who could really only say his own name."
Samantha said in a reaction video a long time ago that she couldn't handle vomit, needless to say I've been looking forward to this reaction ever since 😂
Funniest vomit scene ever! It just keeps coming!!! The first time I saw it in theaters I laughed to tears when it started sputtering and his body shakes.
I couldn't either, until I became a mum. When your baby girl gets old enough to vomit for real Samantha, you'll learn to get over it. Well, kinda, lol. 😁 I wish you both love and best wishes for the birth. X
I love how the puppeteers said they could make the fight scenes look super awesome, but Trey and Matt basically went ‘Nah, it’s way funnier if it looks crappy’.
Alec Baldwin loved it. He had a great sense of humour about it. Said when he dropped his kid off at school other kids would shout “you’re useress Arec Baldwin at him” 😂
P.S - Sean Penn complained and tried to have his character removed. Trey Parker read out his formal letter of complaint publicly at some event to further mock him 😂😂 Trey Parker and Matt Stone are heroes
The soundtrack to this film is beyond amazing. I know Trey and Matt are musically talented due to all their other works but I still sing “America, Fuck Yeah!” in my daily life 😂
I literally just had my kid listen to Montage a couple days ago. He said about something we (or maybe just him) had seen with a montage, and he said it was the perfect montage song. I was like, "Nah, Montage is the greatest montage song." I caught him singing "were gonna need a montaaaage" yesterday lol.
There was some controversy surrounding the sex scene. The ratings board wanted it to be cut or else face an X rating. The producers had to explain to them that little dolls, that have no genitalia, bumping into each other is not pornographic. They got their R rating.
I saw this in 2004 while on Operation Iraqi Freedom II in a US Army theater located in the combat zone. The audience was around 60 other soldiers, and the audience was enthused.
@@Lethgar_Smith I can imagine. I first saw First Blood (Rambo) in the Bad Tolz theater. I was at the NCO academy and most of the audience were Special Forces.
You have to remember, first and foremost, this was a satire of the era just after 9/11 where America wanted to attack everyone, and Hollywood vocally opposed them.
the reason Matt Damon's puppet was talking like he was "special" was because Matt and Trey thought the puppet looked stupid and not like Matt at all, so they made it "special". Sam's reactions are priceless. She makes me laugh so much when she laughs uncontrollably, LOL.
Sams response to the vomit scene is so brilliant and hilarious,she is such a sweetheart and was caught totally off guard.Great reaction you two even though TB had seen it before,looking forward to your next movie reaction.Stay safe and well.
I watched Thunderbirds as a kid and this movie delivered both nostalgia with fantastic adult humor. I think this movie has made you both laugh the hardest in any comedy reaction you've done so far.
I was about to mention Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet. I actually loved Captain Scarlet a lot. I didn't notice how much murder was in it until I watched them as an adult.
I always loved how they are obviously putting so much effort in to the puppetry then intentionally do rudimentary bad puppetry when they walk or fight. Whenever it's funnier to make it obvious they're puppets they'll do that. I wasn't taken off guard by I'm So Lonely because SP: Bigger, Longer and Uncut had Satan's Up There at basically the same point of the movie. As soon as those notes hit it was like "oh, okay, here comes the villain song."
Trey and Matt are great. Just a couple dudes from a Denver suburb making great topical humor at current events as they arise:) this time they really spoof blockbuster action films of the Michael Bay Jerry Bruckheimer variety. They literally put everything they had into this:) Great stuff:)
I have to say. Sam's face when they start talking fake Arabic was simply PRICELESS!!! ------- I cant stop laughing. What a riot. I Love this reaction so much!!
They put so much comedy in this in every scene. In the bar scene, the hammer that Spotsworth gave him earlier in the film is on the bar while hes at a lowpoint. LOL
Dude, the icing on the cake was Sam's reaction to the timeless ballad for the ages, "I'm so lonely" as only Kim Jong iL can sing it. ------ Just when I didn't think this reaction could get any funnier. ----- A musical interlude by the man himself sends me rolling off the sofa. ----- I think I got enough laughs for a month with this reaction. ------ Thank you Sam and Daniel, you both never fail to bring the goods.
Because of the immense size of the sets they built, the puppeteers had to be well out of camera range and were often controlling the puppets from scaffolding 30 feet off the ground. The technical achievement here is amazing.
😂😂😂 watching you guys laugh at the throw up scene made me laugh harder than I have in a while, my ribs hurt. This movie always reminds me of being 12 years old when it came out and how ungodly hard I laughed then, what a ridiculous specific piece of American history 😂😂😂
One of the funnest things to do with tis film is to re watch it and pick out all the things they used for props, like Chinese take out boxes for buildings in North Korea or in Egypt a woman was walking with a basket of Goldfish Crackers on her head. Tons o fun! Never seen Daniel laugh so hard, I almost passed out watching him almost pass out.
A funny easter egg that I love is in the scene where Kim Jong Il is singing. The statue is a real person painted gold lol you can see him swaying a bit
Sean Penn says 'K'Plah' which is Klingon for 'Success / good luck/ good hunting'. The whole movie is a tribute to the works of Gerry Anderson, in particular 'Thunderbirds'. Parker and Stone have sworn to never make another marionette movie now that they know how hard it is to achieve.
Sean Penn notoriously went full Karen in response to this movie. The funniest part was he sent a letter to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, which, no joke, contained the sentence, "I'VE BEEN TO IRAQ!!" You can't make this up. 😂
A shame the best line of the movie didn't make the YT edit: "We've lost Intelligence! We have no Intelligence!" Hope you give other Trey Parker & Matt Stone movies a chance: South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut(1999), BASEketball(1998), and my favorite, Orgazmo(1997)
This was specifically done in the style of ‘supermation’ perfected by the creator of The Thunderbirds, where they’re marionettes with ventriloquist style heads. The puppeteers were some of the best in the world and while they could do all the intricate movements of real people Matt Stone and Trey Parker had them purposely play up the joke of the characters being puppets having limited mobility. The opening kung fu was done for real during rehearsal.
I was waiting for Samantha's reaction to the vomit scene. Knowing how she feels about that, I felt sorry for her but at the same time I was laughing so hard that I almost passed out too! Thank you Samantha for taking one for the fans! If you haven't seen them... Any chance of getting a reaction for either "Orgazmo" or "Cannibal the Musical" (both by Trey Parker and Matt Stone)? Your reactions are consistently among my favorites on RUclips, so I just wanted to say thanks for doing Team America!
I remember reading an article when the USMC took Fallujah in Iraq. As the Marines were getting in position, a psy-ops vehicle with loudspeakers was outside of town, broadcasting insults in Arabic to the town. Then, when they moved out to assault the town, they started playing "America, Fuck Yeah".
C'mon everybody we've got quilting to do!" Still one of my all time favorite movies lines. That and "He's the best martial arts master Detroit has to offer!", As well as all the "No me gusta!" lines during the Panama Canal scene always gets me. Note: I lived in the metro Detroit area for 25 years and didn't realize we were where all the martial arts masters lived.
Me and my friend got stoned and went to the theatre to see this. It was just us and this group of like 7 elderly people who walked out within 3 minutes (I’m not kidding). Me and him stayed and laughed till we cried.
To my great shame, I didn't see this when it came out because I thought a puppet movie seemed stupid even though I was a big South Park fan. That to this day the Matt Damon portrayal is so accurate never ceases to amaze me. Put a mustache on the puppet and I'd think I was watching Oppenheimer. I do worry now that baby Schmitt's first word will be "durka durka durka". 🤭
Hi Daniel & Samantha!🙂Finally a film worthy of Academy Awards!😄The Chiodo Brothers created all 270 puppets. You should check out there film "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" (1988) sometime. Trey Parker & Matt Stone said they would never make another puppet film again. Great reactions to the very well made Team America: World Police, Kids!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
From the year 2000 until today - my three favorites comedies 1. Team America 2. Super Troopers 3. Tropic Thunder The thing about Team America - it came out just a few years after 9/11… some friends and I went to see this in the theater during its release and we all died laughing. I’m glad you reviewed this - you two have a great day. 👍
I just recently saw an interview with Matt Damon where he said the "maaatt daaamon" line was one that people say to him when they see him. Hearing him actually say it was soooo funny.
Semi-related, but Stargate SG1 did a 200th episode that came out around the same time as this movie. They hired the same production company to do a scene with the same sort of puppets and it's hilarious (but mostly in the context of the show).
trey and matt , stated that this movie was hard as fuck to work with the puppets , if 1 thing went wrong 10 more would pop up , although the creativity was amazing !
Alec Baldwin actually did not have a problem with it, he actually offered to do his own voice, but it was done by voice actor Maurice LaMarche from Animaniacs. You might see comments saying it was Alec Baldwin, it wasn't. Everyone for the most part liked it, except Michael Moore (somewhat), they just don't like him.
I saw this in theaters when it came out. My friend my brother and I were laughing so hard our stomachs were hurting. What made it even funnier was an older lady brought two little kids and they left in a huff about 20 minutes into the movie. What did she expect the movie was rated R and it was by the guys who do South Park!!! The soundtrack is so awesome as well. One of the few movie soundtracks that I went out and bought after seeing the movie. I so needed this today Love you guys and love your channel. ❤❤❤
I remember being so excited to see this movie when my buddy told me about it. It was right around 2004 my junior year of high school and my buddy and I both decided at the same time that we were just going to get our GED and go to college a year early so we were hanging out everyday once we stopped going to school so we could study for our classes and register and his dad bought him this DVD burner for his birthday and Blockbuster was on its last legs so they were doing a $20 a month membership where you could rent two DVDs at a time all included in the monthly price. So allegedly he would rent to and burn them over a few hours and then take them back and rent to more and burn them and so on so forth and 04-05 we watch so many amazing movies. Shaun of the Dead team America wedding Crashers yadda yadda. I was just so disappointed by this movie when I first saw it but then I watched it a couple more times and realized that it's fucking brilliant. They film it just like a real Hollywood action movie with crazy exaggerated explosions and personalities and the political shit is just brilliant they make fun of everyone. And one of my favorite parts of this movie and it's so basic and most people don't even react to it in these videos is when the guy is in the Jeep and he says this cheapest filled with explosives were going to take their lives and our own. We're... we're gonna wut... It's so just dry basic humor but I was crying when he said that. This is one of my favorite movies to watch people react to
3:49 Matt Stone and Trey Parker said that the puppeteers they were working with were so talented that they could’ve done an intricate fight scene but they decided it was funnier to just have them wiggle around.
I guess the puppeteers said that the amount of effort required to achieve this movie was so difficult that they would never, never, ever do something like this ever again. OMG
Listen y'all. My then husband wanted to see this, so we went to the theater to watch it. I didn't think it was funny, he was cracking up right from the beginning...because, ya know, puppets. Then the Team America song came on, and it struck me funny. I probably felt it was funnier than it actually was due to me not enjoying it up to that point. So, I got the giggles, and...well, I have a distinct laugh and gets worse the less I can control it. I couldn't stop. My husband was 'shushing' me, my cheeks hurt, and I know everyone could hear me. I just couldn't stop.
If you thought THIS was the most graphic sex scene in this movie, then you have not seen the unrated version where some "nuggets" were involved as well. LOL
Hilarious reaction guys Sam's face was priceless throughout although the ronry scene was my personal favourite haha😂 and i think i speak for everyone when i say "Matt Damonnn"! Haha
The puppets were 22 inches tall and took 4 people to puppet one at once. The short on Matt Damon's character in the movie is that the puppet came back looking mentally slow, so they just made Matt Damon in the movie appear to have brain damage or not all there by making him say his own name.
The barfing scene is my favorite as well. I had already laughed hard through most of the rest of the movie but during that scene I was laughing so hard that I was literally wheezing, crying, coughing, and had to stop the movie to catch my breath. The laughs were coming out like uncontrollable high-pitch giggling of a little girl. It was wonderful.
The hardest I have ever laughed in my life was when I saw the South Park movie in theaters. I had never seen the tv show and was completely unfamiliar with it. I was so sore from heavy laughter at the end I had to legit call in sick the next day. And while Matt and Trey have never won an Oscar, the South Park movie was a nominee for best musical number.
Fun Fact: Trey & Matt originally wanted to make this movie a shot for shot remake of Armageddon, because they say every movie Michael Bay makes is a comedy to them 😂
I remember Matt Stone saying in the documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated something to the effect that they left in as much of the puppet sex as they did in order to have screen time to easily cut to assuage the MPAA ratings board as the integrity of that board was suspect since, at that time at least, they answered more to the studios than truly to the public.
So glad those 2 decided to watch this. Its a perfrct parody of Thunderbirds and americas war in the middle east. I remember Trey & Matt saying they thought the classification would be a problem so they went balls to the wall x-rated with stuff they knew was so extreme that the board would reject it. So when they cut that stuff out their original desired edit would get submitted and get accepted. It worked 👍🏻
This movie is more and more correct in it's portrayal of holier-than-thou actors every day. By now the outrageous behaviour of the caricatures in the movie is probably less egregious than the real deal. I swear to you, Gary's 'heroic cleansing' moment in the alley almost killed me the first time I saw it. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.
the whole movie is amazing, and the shot I still like most is them going "We stopped the terrorists" while being surrounded by the destruction they made far worse
This is by far my favorite reaction to one of my favorite movies. You two had me laughing even harder than when I first saw it 😂... you're my people, lol!
Well, I guess I'm watching two different reactions to this movie today. Shout-out to Caped Informer. So many classic quotes from this film. At least to my generation. With the current strikes in Hollywood, it's funny seeing people refer to the SAG, as the Film Actors Guild....lol
You guys have to watch the behind the scenes stuff. There were parts where Matt and Trey literally took the puppets from the puppeteers and made it look intentionally terrible. Lol
"There's so much!" "It's, like, spraying!" Easily the funniest vomit scene ever (Family Guy ipecac is 2nd place). It just keeps going, and when Gary starts sputtering and shaking I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Daniel waiting for the vomit scene the whole movie.... Me too man! My favorite scene. God I can't even remember how hard I laughed when I first saw it.
I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen this since theaters. I was crying laughing so hard rewatching it on here. Usually comedies don’t hold up to repeat viewings. But, this one was great.
I feel like my humor taste changes dramatically with time. A lot of comedies I thought were hysterical 10 years ago. Are ok, regardless. No comedy is going to pack the same punch as the first time you see and hear the jokes.
In the puppet/marionette series that I grew up with, the most difficult part was them walking so they had hoverbikes and other ways of travelling so they hardly ever had to show them walking.
According to Trey Parker and Matt Stone it was apparently excruciatingly difficult making this movie. A simple shot of a puppet turning and walking through a door would take them a dozen takes because of how hard they were to control. I think they said making this movie was the most miserable they'd ever been but it was definitely worth it because the final product is incredible.
We'll never see a movie like this again, not just because it's difficult to make, but because the snowflakes would never tolerate this humor.
I heard they were team players. Are you a team player?
@@LeMaqnifique "Barbie" is toxic brainwashing garbage. It's anti-woman, anti-men, anti-child. If you can't see that, you're already brainwashed.
@@miller-joel Ah yes, the snowflakes. The same one's throwing a bitch fit about Barbie and One single can of Bud Light.
Honestly they probably should have hired better puppet masters. Seems like a skill/talent issue. I've seen puppeteers move puppets amazingly.
The South Park creators said it was so difficult dealing with all the puppets and voice overs in this film, that they would never ever ever make another film with puppets again.
Apparantly Matt Damon was quoted in a interview stating-"I thought it was brilliant! I mean, I never understood it, and then I heard an interview with them and they said the puppet came in looking kind of mentally deficient and they didn’t have time to change it, so they just made me someone who could really only say his own name."
What about those willing to go through the hxll for making a sequel? 🧐
He and George Clooney were good sport. Sean Penn on the other hand was not.
@@htrumanPenn not enjoying the joke doesn't surprise me.
Always loved how Matt Damon and George Clooney loved their portrayals in this movie, while Sean Penn was outspokenly mad about it
Not true, I saw that same mentally deficient Matt Damon marionette selling crypto a few years back
Samantha said in a reaction video a long time ago that she couldn't handle vomit, needless to say I've been looking forward to this reaction ever since 😂
Same 😈
Lmao, SAME! .. best throw up on film, imo.. close second, sixth sense tent girl..
Funniest vomit scene ever! It just keeps coming!!! The first time I saw it in theaters I laughed to tears when it started sputtering and his body shakes.
I couldn't either, until I became a mum. When your baby girl gets old enough to vomit for real Samantha, you'll learn to get over it. Well, kinda, lol. 😁 I wish you both love and best wishes for the birth. X
@@StayFractalesqueThe Exorcist?!🤔
I love how the puppeteers said they could make the fight scenes look super awesome, but Trey and Matt basically went ‘Nah, it’s way funnier if it looks crappy’.
Which I think is crap, if they were so good they wouldn’t be so hard to handle and take a hours to shoot a scene
We can see what they can do with fight scenes by watching the fights at the end of the movie vs the actors
Comedic genius
Alec Baldwin loved it. He had a great sense of humour about it. Said when he dropped his kid off at school other kids would shout “you’re useress Arec Baldwin at him” 😂
alec baldwin plays alec baldwin in this movie
He was happy with the Film.
@@martinolsen4443 he doesn’t. I’m sure he asked to be in it but Parker and Stone said it would defeat the purpose.
@@kjek1 look up team america cast.
Sean Penn was mad but that guy seems triggered 24/7 over something.
P.S - Sean Penn complained and tried to have his character removed. Trey Parker read out his formal letter of complaint publicly at some event to further mock him 😂😂
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are heroes
Reminiscing about how cool Sean Penn was once upon a time versus the douche he is now. . .
What a shame.
Sean Penn is a perpetual knob head.
Yes, yes they are and Penn is a full blown aids fairy
covid taught me that all celebrities are scumbag loser grifters.
Sean Penn is a god tier idiot lol.
The soundtrack to this film is beyond amazing. I know Trey and Matt are musically talented due to all their other works but I still sing “America, Fuck Yeah!” in my daily life 😂
I literally just had my kid listen to Montage a couple days ago. He said about something we (or maybe just him) had seen with a montage, and he said it was the perfect montage song. I was like, "Nah, Montage is the greatest montage song." I caught him singing "were gonna need a montaaaage" yesterday lol.
@@inarar5334 The song was first used in the South Park episode Asspen.

There was some controversy surrounding the sex scene. The ratings board wanted it to be cut or else face an X rating. The producers had to explain to them that little dolls, that have no genitalia, bumping into each other is not pornographic. They got their R rating.
They filmed the girl puppet squatting over the guy puppet's face and pooping. They took that part out. 😅
@AliceBowie
Yeah, she gave him the classic 'Cleveland Steamer'.
Of the theatrical version, it’s on the 📀
Wow so it's like 2 trans going at it..
I saw this in 2004 while on Operation Iraqi Freedom II in a US Army theater located in the combat zone. The audience was around 60 other soldiers, and the audience was enthused.
I'll bet they were. I saw Stripes at the base theater when I was in the Air Force on our first free day following Basic. What a riot that was.
@@Lethgar_Smith I can imagine. I first saw First Blood (Rambo) in the Bad Tolz theater. I was at the NCO academy and most of the audience were Special Forces.
We named one of our roads on base bakalakadaka street
@@Spurkadurka That was appropriate--and very funny.
I was based just outside Basra on a British base and every time one of our convoys based a US convey we deploy the “secret signal.”😏
Samantha's personality is too pure for a movie like this. That's going to make this reaction all the funnier!
You have to remember, first and foremost, this was a satire of the era just after 9/11 where America wanted to attack everyone, and Hollywood vocally opposed them.
Exactly what I was thinking
Imagine if she saw the Unrated version.
A video of Samantha's reactions would be a best seller😎
By far one of the most hysterical movies ever made AND best F scene ever!!!
If you guys enjoyed this I would definitely check out BASEket Ball from the same guys
Different guys. They just starred in Baseketball.
and Cannibal The Musical
Orgazmo as well
@@ohbejuankenobi663 definitely my favorite they ever did
i'd love to see them react to BASEketball. There aren't really many good reactions of it
the reason Matt Damon's puppet was talking like he was "special" was because Matt and Trey thought the puppet looked stupid and not like Matt at all, so they made it "special". Sam's reactions are priceless. She makes me laugh so much when she laughs uncontrollably, LOL.
Unfortunately the puppet looks just like Matt Damon
Sams response to the vomit scene is so brilliant and hilarious,she is such a sweetheart and was caught totally off guard.Great reaction you two even though TB had seen it before,looking forward to your next movie reaction.Stay safe and well.
I thought it was actually a FUNNIER reaction BECAUSE he had seen it before..I got a kick out of watching his face waiting for her to see the scenes.
It's priceless. Parker & Stone should have gotten a special Oscar for this.
I like how I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. sounds like a chronic weed smoker.
Sound like Buffalo Bill, from Silence of the Lambs.
I thought they were going for a President Bush voice
I thought it was supposed to sound like Garfield
I watched Thunderbirds as a kid and this movie delivered both nostalgia with fantastic adult humor. I think this movie has made you both laugh the hardest in any comedy reaction you've done so far.

🤣
I have to say. Sam's face when they start talking fake Arabic was simply PRICELESS!!! ------- I cant stop laughing. What a riot. I Love this reaction so much!!
They put so much comedy in this in every scene.
In the bar scene, the hammer that Spotsworth gave him earlier in the film is on the bar while hes at a lowpoint. LOL
Yes so true. The layers of comedy is unreal. Absolutely every line is perfect and funny.
it's not just pretty close to Rent; the set is practically identical! The puppets are wearing almost identical costumes! It's brilliant!
Dude, the icing on the cake was Sam's reaction to the timeless ballad for the ages, "I'm so lonely" as only Kim Jong iL can sing it. ------ Just when I didn't think this reaction could get any funnier. ----- A musical interlude by the man himself sends me rolling off the sofa. ----- I think I got enough laughs for a month with this reaction. ------ Thank you Sam and Daniel, you both never fail to bring the goods.

Are they going to make a sequel about Zelinsky, where an actor is picked by by the U.S. government to fight the Russians?

1. Team America
2. Super Troopers
3. Tropic Thunder
The thing about Team America - it came out just a few years after 9/11… some friends and I went to see this in the theater during its release and we all died laughing. I’m glad you reviewed this - you two have a great day. 👍
I just recently saw an interview with Matt Damon where he said the "maaatt daaamon" line was one that people say to him when they see him. Hearing him actually say it was soooo funny.
Semi-related, but Stargate SG1 did a 200th episode that came out around the same time as this movie. They hired the same production company to do a scene with the same sort of puppets and it's hilarious (but mostly in the context of the show).
I love how they didn't try to be perfect with the puppets. Their awkwardness and the strings made it even more funny. Such a great memorable movie!
As an English person, Team America is exactly how i see America, but in the best way
trey and matt , stated that this movie was hard as fuck to work with the puppets , if 1 thing went wrong 10 more would pop up , although the creativity was amazing !
Alec Baldwin actually did not have a problem with it, he actually offered to do his own voice, but it was done by voice actor Maurice LaMarche from Animaniacs. You might see comments saying it was Alec Baldwin, it wasn't. Everyone for the most part liked it, except Michael Moore (somewhat), they just don't like him.
Unsurprisingly, Sean Penn hated it and wrote a lengthy letter of complaint to Trey & Matt. Sums him up, really.
it's not so much that they don't like Michael Moore as this was payback for the cartoon part in Bowling for Columbine.
To be fair, Michael Moore is an incredibly unlikable guy
@@Henrik_Holstno, they've repeatedly stated that Michael Moore is on the list of celebrities they genuinely dislike.
@@passingrando6457 which they only do due to the cartoon part of Bowling for Columbine. Up to that incident they had zero disagreements.
I haven't seen this in years. I am crying laughing. What a great movie.
one of the best moments that reoccurs in this movie is when Matt Damon says "Matt Damon" in that flat tone!
I saw this in theaters when it came out. My friend my brother and I were laughing so hard our stomachs were hurting. What made it even funnier was an older lady brought two little kids and they left in a huff about 20 minutes into the movie. What did she expect the movie was rated R and it was by the guys who do South Park!!! The soundtrack is so awesome as well. One of the few movie soundtracks that I went out and bought after seeing the movie. I so needed this today Love you guys and love your channel. ❤❤❤
Oh man this movie.....!
The creators of South Park are incredible. No filter, non-apologetic, but very smart in their satire.
I remember being so excited to see this movie when my buddy told me about it. It was right around 2004 my junior year of high school and my buddy and I both decided at the same time that we were just going to get our GED and go to college a year early so we were hanging out everyday once we stopped going to school so we could study for our classes and register and his dad bought him this DVD burner for his birthday and Blockbuster was on its last legs so they were doing a $20 a month membership where you could rent two DVDs at a time all included in the monthly price. So allegedly he would rent to and burn them over a few hours and then take them back and rent to more and burn them and so on so forth and 04-05 we watch so many amazing movies. Shaun of the Dead team America wedding Crashers yadda yadda. I was just so disappointed by this movie when I first saw it but then I watched it a couple more times and realized that it's fucking brilliant. They film it just like a real Hollywood action movie with crazy exaggerated explosions and personalities and the political shit is just brilliant they make fun of everyone. And one of my favorite parts of this movie and it's so basic and most people don't even react to it in these videos is when the guy is in the Jeep and he says this cheapest filled with explosives were going to take their lives and our own. We're... we're gonna wut...
It's so just dry basic humor but I was crying when he said that. This is one of my favorite movies to watch people react to
3:49 Matt Stone and Trey Parker said that the puppeteers they were working with were so talented that they could’ve done an intricate fight scene but they decided it was funnier to just have them wiggle around.
I guess the puppeteers said that the amount of effort required to achieve this movie was so difficult that they would never, never, ever do something like this ever again. OMG
I hope you guys kept the end credits going and enjoyed the other kim jong il classic, "You are worthress Arec Barwin"!
Most accurate depiction of Hollywood ever put to film.
Listen y'all. My then husband wanted to see this, so we went to the theater to watch it. I didn't think it was funny, he was cracking up right from the beginning...because, ya know, puppets. Then the Team America song came on, and it struck me funny. I probably felt it was funnier than it actually was due to me not enjoying it up to that point. So, I got the giggles, and...well, I have a distinct laugh and gets worse the less I can control it. I couldn't stop. My husband was 'shushing' me, my cheeks hurt, and I know everyone could hear me. I just couldn't stop.
You should watch the uncut version of the sex scene. It's way more graphic lol
Absolutely 😈
Notice the scene in the bar? Gary has the hammer still with him.... implying he's thinking of killing himself with the damn hammer
Am I the only one who watched this video to see if Samantha was going to laugh so hard that she went into labor? Great work, guys.
Poor Sam, but she made it through that scene without vomiting, hats off to you :)
This is the world you are bringing your child into. :D
If you thought THIS was the most graphic sex scene in this movie, then you have not seen the unrated version where some "nuggets" were involved as well. LOL
Hilarious reaction guys Sam's face was priceless throughout although the ronry scene was my personal favourite haha😂 and i think i speak for everyone when i say "Matt Damonnn"! Haha
The puppets were 22 inches tall and took 4 people to puppet one at once. The short on Matt Damon's character in the movie is that the puppet came back looking mentally slow, so they just made Matt Damon in the movie appear to have brain damage or not all there by making him say his own name.
The barfing scene is my favorite as well. I had already laughed hard through most of the rest of the movie but during that scene I was laughing so hard that I was literally wheezing, crying, coughing, and had to stop the movie to catch my breath. The laughs were coming out like uncontrollable high-pitch giggling of a little girl. It was wonderful.
You are correct. I've seen "Rent" and this movie's rendition, "Lease" is basically the exact same.
The hardest I have ever laughed in my life was when I saw the South Park movie in theaters. I had never seen the tv show and was completely unfamiliar with it. I was so sore from heavy laughter at the end I had to legit call in sick the next day.
And while Matt and Trey have never won an Oscar, the South Park movie was a nominee for best musical number.
Fun Fact: Trey & Matt originally wanted to make this movie a shot for shot remake of Armageddon, because they say every movie Michael Bay makes is a comedy to them 😂
I remember Matt Stone saying in the documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated something to the effect that they left in as much of the puppet sex as they did in order to have screen time to easily cut to assuage the MPAA ratings board as the integrity of that board was suspect since, at that time at least, they answered more to the studios than truly to the public.
This movie is like one of the greatest "hidden gems" to have ever been put into film!
Just in case your normal fanbase hadn't mentioned,, the south park duo also did another movie called Baseketball, and it's amazing...
The first time I saw the Hans Brix shark tank scene I hadn’t laughed that hard in my entire life. I was on the floor.
So glad those 2 decided to watch this. Its a perfrct parody of Thunderbirds and americas war in the middle east. I remember Trey & Matt saying they thought the classification would be a problem so they went balls to the wall x-rated with stuff they knew was so extreme that the board would reject it. So when they cut that stuff out their original desired edit would get submitted and get accepted. It worked 👍🏻
This movie is more and more correct in it's portrayal of holier-than-thou actors every day. By now the outrageous behaviour of the caricatures in the movie is probably less egregious than the real deal.
I swear to you, Gary's 'heroic cleansing' moment in the alley almost killed me the first time I saw it. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.
I was dying from Sam's reaction and you laughing along with her 😂😂😂😂
I've seen this movie numerous times and it still kills me to this day!
I loved this reaction vid. Excellent editing and no flat spots. Nice work!
the whole movie is amazing, and the shot I still like most is them going "We stopped the terrorists" while being surrounded by the destruction they made far worse
Matt Damons most convincing role 🤣
His best performance since Euro Trip
😂😂
True fact- Matt Damon is MUCH smarter in this movie than in real life 😃
@@hughjorg4008great movie and so good Robin Williams won a Oscar for his role so great acting too
Get that man an Oscar!!!
*I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school*
This is by far my favorite reaction to one of my favorite movies. You two had me laughing even harder than when I first saw it 😂... you're my people, lol!
This was right after 9-11, so HELL YEA it was super patriotic!!
AMERICA FUK YEA!!!
Well, I guess I'm watching two different reactions to this movie today. Shout-out to Caped Informer. So many classic quotes from this film. At least to my generation. With the current strikes in Hollywood, it's funny seeing people refer to the SAG, as the Film Actors Guild....lol
You guys have to watch the behind the scenes stuff. There were parts where Matt and Trey literally took the puppets from the puppeteers and made it look intentionally terrible. Lol
"There's so much!"
"It's, like, spraying!"
Easily the funniest vomit scene ever (Family Guy ipecac is 2nd place). It just keeps going, and when Gary starts sputtering and shaking I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Shakes so hard that one of the strings breaks.
Daniel waiting for the vomit scene the whole movie....
Me too man! My favorite scene. God I can't even remember how hard I laughed when I first saw it.
I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen this since theaters. I was crying laughing so hard rewatching it on here. Usually comedies don’t hold up to repeat viewings. But, this one was great.
Hmm! Comedies are typically the most easily rewatchable and get funnier (of it's good).
@@SheaHarristhere's a lot of lesser comedies that are fun the first viewing because of relevance or shock, but TRULY great comedies never get old.
I feel like my humor taste changes dramatically with time. A lot of comedies I thought were hysterical 10 years ago. Are ok, regardless. No comedy is going to pack the same punch as the first time you see and hear the jokes.
@@rickyressel9263 Some get better with repeat viewings.
In the puppet/marionette series that I grew up with, the most difficult part was them walking so they had hoverbikes and other ways of travelling so they hardly ever had to show them walking.
I remember watching this in the theater and being blow away at how vile and hilarious it was hahahaahaa
This is going to be amazing to see Samantha reaction LoL 😈
This might be my favourite reaction of all time, on any channel. Soooo funny!
Omg I've never seen this before. This shit is wild.😂😂he gave my man a hammer to off himself. 😂😂😂😂
Hands down one of the funniest movies ever!
One of the most brilliant comedies ever.
