at around 8:30 when they're ripping into the Paramount executives I remembered they literally made them into characters in season 6 Asspen, the timeshare guys have one who explains everything, and another who goes "you mean to tell me that a time share is both affordable and easy to maintain?"
Gotta respect how positive those two are "Damn, Columbine happened, this is awful! Truly awful.... but on the other hand, we can make our movie with a little more time" Is so morbid, but so funny
"And then we lost to Phil Collins and wished we weren't nominated." These guys are merciless. Yeah... Phil had his "Two Hearts" phase, but he does have the most iconic drum fill of all time, plus rock without hair. Equal opportunity sarcasm. I secretly wonder how much Cartman is in Trey and Matt. Of course, there's Stan and Kyle and Randy, too.
28:49 I always loved the Saddam and Satan parts. The real hard part to sell was Cristophe. Those scenes weren't that funny and the movie grinds to a halt during that act imo
16:15 i really wanna know is how a movie with a $20 million ish budget could be $45 million in debt 😭 i feel so bad for matt and trey this is my favorite movie ever
I think "40-50mil" is more of a tongue and cheek joke but 20mil budget doesn't account for marketing which was probably another 10 or 15mil. And total box office does not include tax fees, cinema shares, distribution shares etc.. Cinemas keep around 60% of every ticket sold. In order for a movie to break even it would have to make atleast 3 times its budget.
Man, it’s hard to hear Trey and Matt talk shit about early South Park. I just watched the first three seasons and the movie. The first 6 episodes are very, very raw. Basically unwatchable. But after that, it’s all awesome. It’s a shame they can’t see it. In many ways I’ll take early South Park over some of the newer stuff which while it looks “better”, the stories can be slow and weak. This movie was a hit for a reason: It’s awesome. And the early seasons from this era were a hit for the same reason.
It seems like a lot of long running shows always have these stigmas surrounding them. It's always something like "The first season is absolute garbage, but by the second season it hit it's stride, and everything after that is a bazillion times better than that crappy first run!" I think that's a bit unfair! The Simpsons seems to get that a lot too, but I can't really agree. I can understand that people's attitudes and opinions can change about stuff that they watched years ago, but I always say "If that first season was truly as bad as everyone says it is nowadays, then the entire show would never have caught on in the first place!" South Park is an example where, in my opinion, the first season is still good, but things started going a bit pear shaped by the second season. But I think that's because Trey and Matt were still kind of figuring South Park out, and it's possible they weren't as involved in that run as much as they were the rest of the show. That being said, I personally don't hate the second season. I've always had a soft spot for it since that was when I first started getting into South Park. I mean, it introduced us to Cartman dressed as a cop shouting "RESPECT MY AUTHORI-TAAH!" Who doesn't love that?
@@bowmaj8666 I think in the case of The Simpsons, the show took such an astronomical leap from seasons 3 up though 7 (that era was truly non-stop brilliance) that the first two seasons are nowhere near it in comparison. On top of that, after their golden combination of writers left around season 8, the show was never the same again. Having said that, you make a valid point: If it weren’t for the first two seasons, there never would have been a third and beyond. The show was successful for a reason. South Park’s evolution is similar, but with some crucial differences. The main one being Trey and Matt were always there (though slightly less-so on season two). But still, after the first handful of episodes, I think the foundation was in place. And season two is great. I know many people don’t think so, including Trey and Matt, but I think it’s awesome. So many smart, classic moments (including Cartman as a cop!). Funny enough, even T&M say in the one of the commentaries that Season 2 is actually pretty good! I suspect the fact that it’s the only season where they gave up some creative control plays a role in their view. Either way, it’s freaking great. So is three, four and the movie. All awesome. I’ll say it again; Early South Park is often better, smarter; and faster than some of the more recent stuff. Definitely more consistent, too. Thee are far fewer episodes that are pretty much duds. Maybe it’s an age thing? That they had nothing to lose back then? Or they always expected their show to be canceled at any moment? Bottom line: I sincerely hope T&M realize that just because the animation was so much less developed (they mention this often), it doesn’t take a thing away from how brilliant much of that early stuff is. I just hope that one day they can learn to see it from the fan’s eyes.
@@Labyrinth1010 It was a success because there were no other alternatives that pushed the boundaries, so it was accepted. It wasn't exactly good to begin with, and that was proven by time itself. I have a lot of nostalgia for Season 1, but it's not a good season in retrospect, and Season 2 was a disaster with so much uninspired tat and poor writing. It wasn't until Season 3 that they got their shit together and started delivering decent content that didn't rely on basic cussing and gross bits.
Yeah this came out around the time where Butters was little more than a background character that was primarily used to fill crowd and classroom scenes, it wasn't until Season 3's two guys naked in a hot tub where he actually got a role and a personality which came out a few weeks after the movie's release
@@oaschloch-reuploads4423 the first half was really good, but they (as almost everyone serious) thought Hillary was going to win. So their whole Men VS. Women narrative in the first half went no where.
Awwww about 42 minutes in they brought in Anne. She was promoted to executive producer and did all the female voices. She killed herself. An that sucks ass.
I LOVE how Anne Garefino is in this commentary like a mother helping her two teenage sons with their homework 😂
and that she can't bring herself to say "fuck", she must've come up with a system to use "funk" in her day to day job haha.
Best lines in any movie ever:
"Haven't you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"
". . . I DON'T LISTEN TO HIP HOP!"
That and "I don't trust anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die."
@@kind-hearted-thievesjoe1512Didn’t ask + don’t care
"How would you like to go to the principal's office"
"How would you like to suck my balls"
The story of the kid going "whoa" in the theatre when Kenny took off his hood. Exactly how 13 year old me reacted when I saw that shot lmao
People don’t understand just how impactful that moment was to our generation
Dude seriously, it was more to us than they will believe.
I literally watched this 1000 times when i was a kid it knew the whole movie by heart. Not just the songs. Ive wasted my life 😂😂😂
Ahhhh. So you were a virgin after 13...thats kind of bummer, but whatever works for my guy.

17:20 Reminds me of “Rob Schneider is a CARROT” lol
The whole infomercial presentation had me dying of laughter “that’s right, Jim”
omfg haha
1:04:53 "And the winner is... Not you!... Phil Collins and Simpsons, goodbye!" 🤣
Gotta respect how positive those two are
"Damn, Columbine happened, this is awful! Truly awful.... but on the other hand, we can make our movie with a little more time"
Is so morbid, but so funny
omg - was not expecting bill hader to join this commentary! such a fun surprise. and this was so cool to listen to - thanks for uploading!!
Anne saving the day with making them talk about interesting bts.
My favorite part was the last 15 seconds where they lost their minds
Thanks for all the hard work on this channel!
17:12 Austin Powers 2 The Spy Who Shagged me South Park baby yeah.
I actually never realised that Butters wasn't in this movie, or that he had a background role !
He sighs when he goes past on ice skates, and says "Ooooh" after Cartman says "Who wants to touch me?!"
"And then we lost to Phil Collins and wished we weren't nominated." These guys are merciless. Yeah... Phil had his "Two Hearts" phase, but he does have the most iconic drum fill of all time, plus rock without hair. Equal opportunity sarcasm. I secretly wonder how much Cartman is in Trey and Matt.

The Beavis bit for Kenny's voice freakin sent me
28:49 I always loved the Saddam and Satan parts. The real hard part to sell was Cristophe. Those scenes weren't that funny and the movie grinds to a halt during that act imo
Are you talking about The Mole? He’s one of my favorite characters! Lol. From back then and still now. Love him.
I don't care what Matt and Trey say, season 2 was great
I love season 2! It depresses me they hate it so much.
How long exactly into the movie does the commentary start? I want to add this as an extra audio track onto my digital copy
The very beginning I believe
I think its right after the paramount logo
If Kenny did actually sound like Beavis at the end I would’ve lost my shit laughing.
I cant hear Anne Garefino talk without hearing Sister Anne
no matt you WERE rad
I cant fucking believe it, they are xavier renegade angel fans, just when u thought they couldn't get any radder.
When they called it the best show on TV, that’s when I knew Trey and Matt were real ones 👌

@@I_AM_BAYTOR they’re so good. There’s a reason it was a success pretty much immediately.

its kind of bad that they dont have much to say. I would have so many questions I'd like to ask them
I wonder if they still have the dresses
I wish Butters would have been more time there aaaa
Yeah this came out around the time where Butters was little more than a background character that was primarily used to fill crowd and classroom scenes, it wasn't until Season 3's two guys naked in a hot tub where he actually got a role and a personality which came out a few weeks after the movie's release
She must be the sober one 😆
Was that weird cycled laugh actually how the original commentary recording ended?
I always thought that was Trey - not Hetfield!
Anne is a gem, dudes.
I like the filler at the end
It's probably not a popular thought but I'd love to see the movie remade with their modern technology
an animated disaster of 1999!
1:14:45 lmaooo
Is it me or do they sound drunk during this?
Love the commentary. Such a shame south park faded and lost relevance after a few years 😂

You're confusing Anne Garefino with Mary Kay Bergman. Anne Garefino is still executive producer on South Park even today.
