Why haven't you guys ripped on this kid yet? When I heard about the Balloon Boy from Colorado in the news, It totally reminded me of something I'd expect to see on South Park. Why haven't you guys ripped on this kid yet?: Breathe easy, Falcon aficionado. There actually is a little easter egg in "W.T.F." referencing the Balloon Boy. Look at the newspaper headlines in these two clips -- here and here.
Thursday, November 5, 2009 The website seems slightly different, more clean, i like it! The website seems slightly different, more clean, i like it!: Thanks! We actually just relaunched the site interface today (Damn, you've got a good eye!). The search bar is bigger, the menu is cleaner, and hopefully it should be a lot easier to navigate. It's all for you...
Thursday, November 5, 2009 I just watched the episode "The F Word" (f*cking hilarious by the way)...anyway to my question: Why does one of the bikers chant "chicken spears" when the bikers make their bikes noiser? What does "Chicken Spears" mean? I just watched the episode "The F Word" (f*cking hilarious by the way)...anyway to my question: Why does one of the bikers chant "chicken spears" when the bikers make their bikes noiser? What does "Chicken Spears" mean?: It is really loud, annoying and it certainly got your attention. I'm pretty sure that was the point. It may also be that bikers find these breaded strips of poultry to be irresistible...Just like Kayne loves his fishsticks.
Thursday, November 5, 2009 Hey, where can i watch South Park The Movie?? and did you guys have to ask Lady Gaga for "permission" so our Cartman could sing her song? Hey, where can i watch South Park The Movie?? and did you guys have to ask Lady Gaga for "permission" so our Cartman could sing her song?: DERP! We just had the SP Movie on our site for the last month for FREE, in HD. Looks like your lazy butt missed out, budday. I guess you're gonna have to go grab that bad boy.

And yes, we licenced the Lady Gaga song to use it in our episode. That's why there's so much legal mumbo-jumbo to go through with trying to get it to you fans as a download (we're still trying!).
Thursday, November 5, 2009 I know South Park has a back-story for everything it is making fun of. I was wondering what is the story behind Al Gore and Bear-man-pig. I'm serial I know South Park has a back-story for everything it is making fun of. I was wondering what is the story behind Al Gore and Bear-man-pig. I'm serial: Al Gore came out with a documentary called "An Inconvenient Truth" right around the time that episode came out. In it, he preaches about the super-cereal affect of global warming and how he's really serious, and no one is listening to him. In simpler words, Manbearpig is an allegory for Global Warming. Watch this clip, it might make a little more sense now. EXCELSIOR!!
Thursday, November 5, 2009 Does the meaning of word FAG realy changed in English/American dictionaries? Does the meaning of word FAG realy changed in English/American dictionaries?: I'm not sure if Websters is quite on that yet, but my guess is soon. Once it's changed in Scrabble, it's official.

But I noticed in the beginning that Mr. Slave and Big Gay Al were holding hands. When did they start dating?? WTF? Haha. What does Mr. (or Mrs.) Garrison think of this??: Homie, you're way behind on your Park. Big Gay Al and Mr. Slave got MARRIED in Season 9's "Follow That Egg" (910). As for Garrison's reaction, let's just say there was some drama.

In "Butter's Bottom Bitch," there's a kid named Scott Malkinson with diabetes...Can you tell me in what episode does Cartman make fun of his illness??: Scott was first introduced in last season's "Elementary School Musical" (1213).

Friday, October 30, 2009 Oh my god! The Whale War episode was hilarious, and I laughed me head off when Cartman sang "Poker Face"!! Is that going to be available for download? Oh my god! The Whale War episode was hilarious, and I laughed me head off when Cartman sang "Poker Face"!! Is that going to be available for download?: Mamama ma... We've gotten a TON of requests for a downloadable version of this song. Obviously, there are a ton of copyright issues were trying to work around, since it's a cover of Lady Gaga's song. We're working on it, you're just gonna have to wait and see.
Friday, October 30, 2009 Why couldn't Butters keep his gold chain in later episodes? I was really looking forward to seeing that as a staple of his character design from now on. He'll always be a pimp to me. Why couldn't Butters keep his gold chain in later episodes? I was really looking forward to seeing that as a staple of his character design from now on. He'll always be a pimp to me.: He gave up the pimping game, homie. Kisses are a tough business.
Friday, October 30, 2009 Is there really a TV show about that pirates stopping Japanese whale and dolphin killers??? Anyways that episode is OWNING. REALLY ENJOYED IT. Is there really a TV show about that pirates stopping Japanese whale and dolphin killers??? Anyways that episode is OWNING. REALLY ENJOYED IT.: Oh boy, is there. Whale Wars is a real show on Animal Planet and they really have pirate symbols on all their gear and they really try to stop the Japanese (and others) from killing whales. And they also really throw stinky butter. So bad ass, right? Oh, and Deadliest Catch is also a real show on the Discovery Channel. They catch crabs.
Friday, October 30, 2009 In the 1st episode, how come you sort of make the same thing 7 years later? In the 1st episode, how come you sort of make the same thing 7 years later?: I'm guessing you're talking about "Cancelled" (704), where the boys relive what happened in "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe." This was originally supposed to be South Park's 100th episode -- a big landmark for any television series because it means that you can officially syndicate your show (for those that don't know, that basically means you can sell it to other networks so that they can show it whenever, as much as they want. You know the two-hour South Park block starting at 11pm on your local, independent channel). Shows tend to get repetitive and stale after 100 episodes...So the joke was that it seemed like the boys were in a stale repeat. Turns out, Cartman just needed his ass probe tweaked.
Friday, October 30, 2009 In "Scott Tenorman Must Die," Scott's mom was taking off her bra and his dad came out and said something and bunch of people wearing masks run away. Exactly who was running away ? In "Scott Tenorman Must Die," Scott's mom was taking off her bra and his dad came out and said something and bunch of people wearing masks run away. Exactly who was running away ?: Well, whenever anyone lets the twins out in South Park, there's always gonna be a crowd. Besides Jimbo and Ned, there's Stan’s dad (in a fake eyeglass/mustache combo), Kyle’s dad (in a rainbow afro and clown nose), and Kenny’s dad (with a paper bag over his head). There's also two random townspeople.
Friday, October 30, 2009 On the episode Whale Whores, Cartman, Kyle and Kenny were playing a music game when Stan came in. What game was that and what console were they playing it on?? On the episode Whale Whores, Cartman, Kyle and Kenny were playing a music game when Stan came in. What game was that and what console were they playing it on??: They're jamming out to some Rock Band. The system isn't shown here, but Cartman probably owns all the game consoles. His mom gets him anything his little heart desires.
Thursday, October 29, 2009 In the episode named "Up The Down Steroid," the boys are playing a board game at the beginning. Who is the bust on the game supposed to represent, and what, if any is the name of the game? In the episode named "Up The Down Steroid," the boys are playing a board game at the beginning. Who is the bust on the game supposed to represent, and what, if any is the name of the game?: The boys are playing the "Investigative Reports With Bill Kurtis Board Game" – and the bust on the game is Kurtis' head. He's a journalist, news anchor and TV personality of sorts, and one of the shows he hosts is called Investigative Reports. It was so exciting they needed to make a home version! You can also see the boys playing it in Season Four’s “Cartman Joins NAMBLA” (408).
Thursday, October 22, 2009 I've been in Spain recently, and I guess Kenny's wrestling name "El Pollo Loco" means "The Crazy Chicken". Am I right? I've been in Spain recently, and I guess Kenny's wrestling name "El Pollo Loco" means "The Crazy Chicken". Am I right?: It took a trip to Spain to figure that out?? Damn dude, you're dedicated to your research. And yes, you're right -- it means "crazy chicken."
Thursday, October 22, 2009 In the new episode "W.T.F." what is it those mexicans in the crowd say when Kenny gets blown up by the rocket? In the new episode "W.T.F." what is it those mexicans in the crowd say when Kenny gets blown up by the rocket?: They say "Oh Dios Mio! Matron El Pollo Loco!" / "BASTARDOS!" -- which roughly translates to "Oh my God! They Killed Kenny!" / "You bastards!" in Spanish. I'm feeling extra saucy today, so here's a little behind-the-scenes action. Right from the script:

Kenny picks up the rocket. It starts to spark again in his hand and then SHOOTS OFF AGAIN carrying Kenny up into the sky.

KENNY
WHAHGHGHGHGHGH!!!!!!

BOOM! It explodes with Kenny but very safely way up in the sky. Cut to the group of nine Mexicans in the audience.

RANDOM MEXICAN
(standing, pointing)
Oh Dios Mio! Matron El Pollo Loco!

ANOTHER RANDOM MEXICAN
(standing with fist)
BASTARDOS!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!! Back to the sky where explosion after explosion goes off. The lights light up the crowd. They all CHEER-
Thursday, October 22, 2009 in W.T.F, what is the name of the guy who has gay porn? in W.T.F, what is the name of the guy who has gay porn?: I don't think there was any gay porn in that episode, but if you are referring to the wrastling coach, his name is Mr. Conners.
Thursday, October 22, 2009 I know you've probably gotten this email like a 1000 times, but Butters kissed a girl in episode 313 "Hooked on Monkey Phonics." By the home schooled girl turned slut lol. But still an awesome show!!! My new favorite SP =D I know you've probably gotten this email like a 1000 times, but Butters kissed a girl in episode 313 "Hooked on Monkey Phonics." By the home schooled girl turned slut lol. But still an awesome show!!! My new favorite SP =D: You're right on both accounts. Butters was indeed kissed by the newly-slutified home-school girl Rebecca in "Hooked on Monkey Phonics" (313), and we've gotten a bajillion emails about it. No, it's not a mistake, we're aware of it. And the explanation is simple -- What happens in the Bay of Pigs Memorial Dance stays in the Bay of Pigs Memorial Dance.

Besides if you really look at the clip Butters is the one being kissed in "Hooked on Monkey Phonics", but he stepped up to the plate in "Butters' Bottom Bitch" and became a man!
Thursday, October 22, 2009 Butters' Bottom Bitch was a great episode. But what did Butters do with all the motherfucking money he made pimping? Butters' Bottom Bitch was a great episode. But what did Butters do with all the motherfucking money he made pimping?: That's a question for his bottom bitch, Sally Darson. I appreciate you asking that question, but seriously, you should be putting that mouth to work. Don't you want a new lunchbox?
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 Hey! I was just wondering what the name of the song is in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe"? The one which Cartman and Barbrady sing when they're under alien control?? Hey! I was just wondering what the name of the song is in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe"? The one which Cartman and Barbrady sing when they're under alien control??: Great old-school question. It's called "I Love to Singa" and it's lifted from a 1936 Tex Avery cartoon. Google it, it's pretty cool.
Thursday, October 15, 2009 I just watched Butters' Bottom Bitch and I was wondering: what is the name of the song playing when the undercover cop dances for the frat boys? I just watched Butters' Bottom Bitch and I was wondering: what is the name of the song playing when the undercover cop dances for the frat boys?: That is delicately-titled tune called "F**k the Pain Away" by Peaches. Great for weddings and bar mitzvahs.
Thursday, October 15, 2009 Hi, I love the show and I've been waiting ages for the new episodes! And when I saw there was a contest to be South Park'd, I re-watched "Dead Celebrities" 3 times. But i never found the alien! Can you please tell me where he was hidden? Thanks! Hi, I love the show and I've been waiting ages for the new episodes! And when I saw there was a contest to be South Park'd, I re-watched "Dead Celebrities" 3 times. But i never found the alien! Can you please tell me where he was hidden? Thanks!: Did you watch it on TV or on the website? Because the alien is hidden ONLY on the broadcast version on TV, not on the version you see on the website. As for where it's hidden, I can't tell you because that would defeat the point of the contest. But I will say the alien in "Dead Celebrities" was relatively easy to spot. The one in "Butters' Bottom Bitch" is a bit trickier.
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 In the Fatbeard episode, where did you get the Somali language, and who provided the voice? Not to mention the French. Also blow me for never answering my FAQ emails, which I'm sure you won't this time either. In the Fatbeard episode, where did you get the Somali language, and who provided the voice? Not to mention the French. Also blow me for never answering my FAQ emails, which I'm sure you won't this time either.: Whoa, sailor! You kiss your mother with that mouth?? Both the Somali and French languages in "Fatbeard" were spoken by voice actors fluent in their respective languages. Trey wrote the episode in English and then the voice actors were brought in to read the translation.
