Happiness never lays its finger on its pulse.
You start animating it and you get to Friday and you get to Saturday and you go.This is not funny, like we haven't figured something out, scrap it.
You know, and it really doesn't have a lot to do with the movie. That's the trick to doing a good musical is that, if you take that music number out, there's less to the movie there. You would miss...
We made this really dumb decision to put on the cover nothing from South Park but just a real life photo of a piece of pooh dressed up like Mr. Hankey, and a lot of people didn't, they didn't even...
We got into it, we created all these other characters, it was going to be an Easter episode actually, a year ago.
There is nothing we can't do, so it's just the fact that we're doing topics like that that other people, especially network TV, won't touch, that we're satirists.
Then we went out to the animators, the lead animators like, we're going to do the battle between heaven and hell, and they're like, what.
Talk about it, talk about it, and then I physically go write it and come up with the dialogue, and come up with the structure of the scene.
Sometimes what's right isn't as important as what's profitable.
Saying goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it.
No, writing musicals is the hardest thing in the world. And it was really funny, because I remember when the South Park movie came out, there were some critics that said, well it's obvious that in...
My favorite musical. I don't. It changes all the time. I'm just a diehard, I'm totally old school, like I'll sit and watch, if they are re-doing Oklahoma in New York, I will be the first one there.
It's this simple law, which every writer knows, of taking two opposites and putting them in a room together. I love anything with Cartman and Butters at the same time, it's great.
It's funny because I think a lot of it is simply... We've never considered ourselves satirists, but because we're on Comedy Central and because we're South Park on Comedy Central, we can do any...
It's been a fascinating thing because we didn't really know how to write when we started South Park at all. It's been like, we've just sort of grown up a bit and it's amazing to just see how, if...
It was exactly the same on the South Park movie really too. There's lots of violence in that too, but it always came down to anything sexual. They don't care about anything else.
In terms of the creative side of it, it's really been a thing where you come up with the funny stuff is usually at a bar or out talking to people or whatever.
If we have a great idea, we'll go, oh, this could be a cool movie. Or really for us, it's more like, oh, this is a really bad idea. Let's do this. This seems really stupid.
I would let my kids watch this stuff way before I'd let them watch something like Full House that I think would make them stupid.
I almost bumped into Alec Baldwin and then turned around and Paris Hilton was standing there. And I was like, look, it's stupid spoiled whore.
Careful, was my mother careful when she stabbed me in the heart with a coat hanger while I was still in womb.
