greetings and welcome to earthling
cinema i am your host garyx wormuloid
this week's artifact is Team America
world police from South Park creators
oliver stone and matt parkour who were
famously exiled from earth after
literally pissing off everyone the film
opens in France were some kindly
terrorists chaperone a beeping briefcase
that is until the US Olympic team
choppers in they win the interpretive
dance round but take home the silver in
not dying over on Broad Street an actor
named Gary sings about one of Earth's
best diseases attracting the attention
of Agent Coulson
I mean Morpheus I mean a balding horny
puppet he takes him to Rushmore Academy
where he asks him to do the plot of 21
Jump Street
but with terrorists although considering
how teens were in those days there
wasn't much of a difference in Koreatown
a nearsighted dictator has the
terrorists over for kimchi giving them
some bombs as party favors Gary gets his
eyebrows done at the spa so he can
infiltrate the cantina bar but soon Team
America shows up and sweeps the gold
medal in destroying a native culture
America's oldest pastime the team gets
drunk off friendship and Lisa and Gary
do the bippity-boppity-boo
[Music]
but Gary's not the only one getting
blown jack donaghy fears the Olympics
are stealing Liz Lemon's ratings and
partners with k-town for a peace
ceremony where Kim will secretly
detonate bombs
oh no no air quotes on that one
remembering that it's the end of act 2
gary quits and gets mild food poisoning
the fat guy suicide squads HQ just as
Kim blows the team's cover and captures
them but their covers not the only thing
getting blown that's a callback just for
you Gary trains with Spotswood
Trainspotting if you will and they go to
k-town to get the band back together
they kill most of the film Actors Guild
and no intelligent life is lost with the
stage empty Gary
attention [ __ ] it up and engages in
the time-honored tradition of oratory
the only thing that can get [ __ ] is a
dick Donaghey gets Al stood from NBC and
Kim falls on an alt right baseball cap
revealing his true form a horse team
America World Police can be viewed as a
response to the surge of nationalism the
USA experienced after 9/11 considered by
many to be just never forgettable the
film is a satire stylized after massive
Hollywood blockbusters and Netflix's
which commonly celebrated American power
and perseverance the film beats down
cliche after cliche like they owe it
money it mocks the emotional levers
these films try to pull just as it makes
fun of the overly sentimental country
ballots that make war seem great
and now there's a Hampton Bay
be here

beneath the big bangs and puppet bangs
lies a more subtle exploration of
America's role in the world
some scholars support the hegemonic
stability theory which supposes that the
world would be better off with a
superpower calling the shots Team
America believes in American
exceptionalism the idea that the United
States was better than all other seven
countries and therefore duty-bound to
shape the world to its obese standards
don't you understand every country in
the world is in danger how is it my
responsibility to do something because
like it or not you're the one with the
power to do something the film pokes fun
at this attitude by showing various ways
that Americans are poorly suited to boss
baby everyone around when the film
identifies a foreign location it notes
the distance from the USA exemplifying
the tendency Americans had to look down
on other countries as well as the metric
system cities such as Paris and Tatooine
are reduced to their most famous
landmarks which are portrayed
incorrectly as being right next to each
other instead of on top of each other
foreign languages are portrayed as
gibberish although it's all human to me
this ignorant and lack of respect for
other countries manifests as Team
America demolishes world landmarks to
make room for a Whole Foods
ironically this self-centered attitude
is similar to the terrorist psychology
according to smoking hot Lisa usually a
case of malignant narcissism brought on
during childhood damn you're tearing me
apart Lisa the film asks whether this
careless destructiveness in the name of
American ideals is any better than the
terrorists intentional attacks because
it's the thought that counts
but the film is far from a one-sided hit
piece on American jingoism unchained it
criticizes ignorance on the other side
of the aisle to the actors standing in
for alcoholic grad students or liberals
think they're better than Team America
the film Actors Guild believes that what
the world needs is compassion not
violence all the team America does is
create new enemies but their position is
based on the same blinding elitism as
Team Americas what the world needs is an
International Advisory Committee who
truly understands global politics namely
us and their ignorance causes them to
bumble their way into the wrong side of
a global crisis ultimately the film
concludes that despite the occasional
terrorist attack someone's got a deal
with purely destructive entities
especially if those entities can sing in
the end the film endorses our more
cautious America yeah yeah yeah but in
America yeah nonetheless it was the
state motto of Florida after all before
it flooded and the sharks ate everybody
until they were dead for earthling
cinema i'm garyx wormuloid
