precious
let me see my pressures
please
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 20
south park movie parodies tell me the
toilet paper was it quilted yes single
sheet no two ply
what what does that tell you for this
list we'll be looking at episodes of
this famous animated comedy that
satirize some of the most popular films
of all time do you have a favorite south
park parody let us know in the comments
number 20 tron
facebook is a train everyone else seems
to have jumped on board but stan doesn't
want any part of it so when he finally
does cave in he's inundated with all
aspects of the social platform that
annoy most participants stan grandma
said she poked you and you haven't sent
a poke back
dad i didn't even want to do dan poke
your grandma but when he tries to leave
for good we get arguably the greatest
nod to disney's tron ever made
in the same way flynn was sucked into
his game stan is deconstructed and
pulled inside facebook from there it's a
dark world filled with the same splashes
of vibrant color instead of throwing
disc games dwellers are subjected to
yahtzee matches against facebook itself
it's a beautiful take on such a classic
movie
what
yahtzee number 19. cloverfield this
two-part episode makes fun of the
original cloverfield movie in two very
particular ways it starts with randy's
new obsession with his video camera
forever filming even the most mundane of
events when the disasters begin to
strike most of what we see is from his
camera's perspective okay
this is randy marsh
i'm shooting this video of myself
20 minutes ago some huge creatures
attacked our town
yet even though cloverfield uses the
same pov style filming it's south park's
version of the monster that makes these
episodes great instead of an oversized
lizard the show uses live action guinea
pigs superimposed into the animation as
a viewer it's hilarious to see the
townsfolk so terrified of something that
would otherwise be so adorable what do
you think about the guinea source rex
ellie
[Music]
oh that's good there's shelley with the
guinness horse rex in the background
number 18 braveheart intended to feed
the poor dr mephisto's genetically
engineered turkeys have gone rogue and
now the town is in danger it's here we
get a great parody of mel gibson's film
braveheart instead of william wallace
rallying his warriors we get chef
reciting a similar speech to the
townsfolk all while dressed in a kilt
and makeup on his face these fuzzed up
turkeys from the crustaceans era can
take our lives
but they can never take
our freedom that alone is cute but the
show takes it a step further by showing
the turkeys themselves being given a
gobbley speech by their leader also
donning the famous braveheart leader's
look
[Applause]
come on who doesn't love an
inspirational speech from a turkey
number 17. pet cemetery stephen king's
pet cemetery has been the subject of
countless jabs and odes from this show
over the years the old farmer inspired
by cemeteries judd crandall has appeared
multiple times on the show always
warning the locals about one thing or
another season two also gave us the
halloween themed episode spooky fish
which takes a few shots at the horror
film most notably stan's evil fish is
from a pet store that was built on an
ancient burial ground just as the pet
cemetery is on the mikmaq burial site
it's silly and funny and pays homage to
a memorable movie from this classic
horror writer i wanna return a fish damn
it what that's the ninth return i've had
this week what's wrong with it let me
guess it killed a bunch of people right
yeah dude number sixteen the sixth sense
much like how cole seer could see those
who had passed on butters comes to
believe the same thing after having
irritated his friends for the last time
all the boys in town decide to simply
ignore cartman entirely hey i hate
carpet too can i ignore him with you
yeah yeah screw him yeah i never
realized ignoring him was an option
since no one will acknowledge him he now
thinks he's dead butters unaware of what
the other boys are doing interacts with
eric making both of them believe he can
now see and talk to dead people
i'm like the kid in that movie i'm
seeing dead people dead people
who's seeing dead people me it's clearly
poking fun at the supernatural ability
depicted in the bruce willis film
butters can't see the dead and cartman
certainly isn't a ghost but that doesn't
make it any less funny i'm supposed to
help him find out why his spirit is
wandering the earth even though i know
that i'm most likely just completely
insane number 15. rocky in the losing
edge randy becomes one of those parents
who picks fights with others in the
crowd of a little league team except in
his case he's actually fighting people
randy's entire journey to be the best is
a hysterical take on the entire rocky
franchise he's consistently dressed in a
grey hoodie much like balboa's character
and we even catch glimpses of mickey
gold mill while randy takes on the bat
dad you better shut your mouth before i
shut it for you
what do you want to do but our favorite
has to be when randy cracks eggs into a
glass presumably about to drink them as
rocky did only to fry them up for his
breakfast that's comedic gold
number 14 the silence of the lambs it's
a classic prank take a few rolls of
toilet paper and toss them around
someone's home but when the boys decide
to use it in retaliation against a
teacher the police get involved and it's
here we meet josh myers tell me
something officer why is it that you
play such a small town you must have had
larger inspirations what happened to
those big city dreams in every way that
matters josh is essentially the south
park version of hannibal lecter all of
officer barbrady's scenes with him play
out much like they did with clarice in
the silence of the lambs you're so
ambitious aren't you
you know what you look like to me with
your good bag and your cheap shoes he's
a kid in a cell for tping too many
people the entire idea is ludicrous but
when played for laughs like this we
can't help but smile he was too fast for
me he ran out the door
couldn't you have gone after him
well
i'm covered in toilet paper i look silly
number 13
300. say what you want about the
historical accuracy of the movie 300.
but both the look and feel and iconic
dialogue have made an impression on pop
culture having been parodied multiple
times it didn't take long for south park
to do their own version no
this isn't crazy
this is lesbos when a group of persians
buy up a local lesbian bar garrison
isn't having any of it from walking to
dialing a phone everything gets sped
down a notch all while intense theme
music plays in the background throw in
some gloriously cheesy voice over
dialogue and a bad guy named xerxes and
it's a recipe for a perfect parody the
hours passed quickly and the lesbians
boldly stood out in front of their bar
to stop the persians from entering
number 12. the da vinci code the movie
the da vinci code is filled with
conspiracies and secrets that have been
held away from the public for centuries
with material like that it's no wonder
south park had a field day taking those
ingredients and baking us an easter
treat we are all part of a secret
society stan
a very ancient very important society of
men who follow the way of the rabbit and
protect the secret of the easter bunny
the episode goes far beyond poking fun
at secret societies it takes the most
ridiculous conspiracy theory and spins
it in such a hilarious way you can't
help but laugh all the way through the
episode connections to religion
freemasonry and countless other nods all
poke fun at the film and all things
related to it
[Music]
the day after tomorrow
long before the show made fun of al gore
and his take on climate change south
park went after it when they parodied
the day after tomorrow much like the
movie the episode tries to use climate
change which happens slowly over time as
the cause of a massive flood in
beaverton we do not have any reports of
fatalities yet but we believe that the
death toll may be in the hundreds of
millions as usual the show uses randy as
the one inciting panic blaming climate
change and preparing for what they feel
is the end of the world what makes this
one notable is how not only it mocks the
movie's premise itself but the entire
idea that climate change is something
that happens overnight global warming
didn't cause the beaverton flood
we know now whose fault it is
it was
crab people
number 10 scarface in a world where kfc
restaurants have been replaced by
marijuana dispensaries cartman becomes
the kingpin of an underground fried
chicken ring i think you and me can work
this thing out eric
do business together a long time in much
the same way that tony montana becomes
addicted to his own illegal substances
cartman 2 can't help himself to his own
product although the episode is heavily
focused on randy many of the cartman
scenes play out much like the movie
scarface mr cartman come on we're
supposed to be handling the business
you're eating too much of the stuff
shut up kevin from death by helicopter
to a shootout at the compound it's a
fantastic play on a classic movie and
although randy's antics don't play into
the parody we'd be remiss if we didn't
mention his hilarious bouncing around
town
number nine inception
sometimes this show pokes fun at modern
media in subtle ways but in the case of
in sheepshin the show goes full on
parody and leaves us in stitches the
entire time is this the dream or the
dream within the dream i think it's the
dream inside the matrix inside the dream
oh well just keep shooting stan randy
and mr mackey all end up sharing a dream
which of course reminds us of inception
we're then treated to a group of
gun-wielding experts who look strikingly
similar to cobb and his crew from the
movie what follows is essentially the
show's creators criticizing how the
movie's complicated plot does not
necessarily make it cool plus we can't
help but laugh at both the sheep
hoarding jokes and the doctor's
inception like background humming it's
very simple you see
when the dream experts go in they
attempt to take the subject to a dream
within a dream number eight world war z
one of the biggest strengths of this
show is its ability to both parody pop
culture while simultaneously finding
ways to comment on the world around us
this season 17 episode chose to replace
the zombie infestation from world war z
with those who were protesting the
verdict of the george zimmerman trial
cnn has just received word that a
verdict in the george zimmerman trial is
expected to come at any moment with
cartman acting as brad pitt the entire
episode plays with the idea of an
infection and countless scenes are
clearly ripped from the movie although
it serves up plenty of nods to the
zombie flick it's probably one of the
more controversial uses of satire on
this list given the subject matter
although he survived the shooting his
wishes are to remain anonymous giving
the hospital only the nickname
brad pitt
but cooler number seven heavy metal
known for its over-the-top depiction of
explicit themes heavy metals seems like
a perfect pairing for a show like south
park
[Music]
through a series of hallucinations kenny
and gerald both get a glimpse into that
world but with a far more comedic touch
every vision is animated in the same
style as the film but with our
characters essentially pasted into the
fantasy it also clearly takes aim at the
cult classic's use of animated nudity
this version of heavy metal is a world
filled with mammary delight you can't
help but chuckle at how many variations
of this theme are used across the
episode fans unfamiliar with the cult
classic film might find themselves
looking it up just to understand the
episode
number six the human centipede franchise
have you ever read any of the terms of
service agreements you've been presented
with we've all seen them and by far and
large no one ever reads them good let's
get the blood work hey you can't do that
you agreed we could take all the blood
we needed what are you talking about
when you downloaded the last itunes
update so what if a company puts
something really sinister in there in
south park apple apparently included a
clause that allowed them to make you a
part of a human centipede kyle ends up
quite literally in the middle of all of
this and viewers are left with one of
the most insane parodies to date it's
both hilarious and a little scary if you
spend a little too much time thinking
about what you might be agreeing to when
you click yes do you agree to let apple
track your location at all times
i agree number five kaiju films all the
way back in season one fans got a treat
when barbara streisand came to town and
turned into a mechanical godzilla-like
monster attacking the city
as huge fans of the kaiju genre the
creators held nothing back in adding
even more nods to these films in this
one episode robert smith appears as
mothra leonard moulton is ultraman and
even sidney poitier appears as gamera it
all comes together with just as much
massive destruction as the original
films and a ridiculous soundtrack with a
japanese man singing
mecca streisand would reappear again in
the show's 200th episode two-parter
number four the shining
poor randy ten thousand dollars for the
entire place it wasn't gonna last don't
worry we'll make the money back in a
week guaranteed
ever so clueless about the world around
him he opts to buy a blockbuster video
store thinking it'll be a good
investment it clearly isn't and after
the store doesn't attract any customers
randy goes slightly off the deep end
giving us a great nod to the shining
randy transforms into the show's own
version of jack torrance between the
creepy music and the faces he presents
us with it's like watching an animated
version of the classic horror film the
icing on the cake however is randy
frozen in the snow outside while stan
puts an ipad in his hand a great send-up
of a classic film
i'm coming
i'm coming soon number three superhero
movies in season 13 cartman dubs himself
the a batman-like superhero that no
one in town knows about is he a hero or
a menace while we can all admit that the
is obviously really cool we should
also be asking each other why does he
care so much for the people of this town
clearly poking fun at the comic book
film genre the show took this base idea
and expanded on it a year later all the
boys in town became superheroes sort of
why do we have to be called and
friends
what we all fight crime together how
come we're just your friends yeah we
want to be called the extreme avenger
league tool shed tupperware mosquito and
the human kite aren't exactly the
saviors we're used to seeing elsewhere
and that's the point with so many comic
book-themed properties out these days
the show is clearly making fun of the
fact that anything can be a superhero
now the show even went on to do an
entire video game around the same set of
characters
number 2 george a romero's zombie movies
knight of the living homeless instead of
knight of the living dead do we even
need to explain how these are related
from the man who practically invented
the zombie genre this episode of south
park replaces the undead with homeless
people over running the town residents
are forced to try and find ways to rid
themselves of what has become an
infestation of people begging for change
bear some change leave me alone i don't
have any change all right god bless you
sir oh now i feel bad here there's
plenty of nods to romero's other works
such as day of the dead and dawn of the
dead everything about this episode is
both hilarious and a fantastic send-up
of this classic horror director stop it
i really do need change me too jay

number 1. the lord of the rings trilogy
even after 25 years of being on air this
season 6 episode is still their best
movie parody to date you must retrieve
the tape but do not look at it for it
holds an evil power retrieve the tape
and return it to us at home the boys are
playing lord of the rings and
inadvertently end up in a real world
quest to retrieve an adult video from
butters from the moment the boys acquire
the tape the episode plays out much like
many parts of the famous movie trilogy
we're not sure what's funnier the fact
that the ting has been replaced by an
adult movie butter spot on impersonation
of gollum or poor jimmy trying to hold
back all the sixth graders in the same
vein as gandalf you shall not
you shall not good
