00:00If you don't get it, you don't get it.
00:01What do you mean I don't get it, House?
00:03I'm a genius.
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo.
00:06And today we're counting down our picks for the best and worst reactions to having been
00:10on the receiving end of some pot shots from South Park.
00:14How'd it go, baby?
00:15Terrible, Ben.
00:16Some girl in Colorado's trying to become the new Jennifer Lopez.
00:22Number 30.
00:23James Cameron.
00:24In season 16, South Park decided to tackle the perceived dwindling of human decency.
00:30Much of the episode poked fun at Mama June and Honey Boo Boo, but also included a humorous
00:35bit featuring Titanic director James Cameron.
00:38Mr. Cameron, you don't have to do this.
00:40Why don't you just go back to your house in Malibu?
00:42Go work on another movie.
00:44I have to do this.
00:45I have to try and raise it.
00:47The bar isn't something that actually lowers Mr. Cameron.
00:49Cameron's real-life interest in deep-sea exploration was depicted as a means to literally
00:55raise the bar on human morality.
00:58Between his obsession with his mission and the sea shanty his crew belted out, it's an
01:03entertaining poke at the Terminator director's oceanic hobby.
01:07His name is James Cameron.
01:09The bravest pioneer.
01:11No budget too steep, no sea too deep.
01:13Who's that?
01:13It's him, James Cameron.
01:15During a Reddit AMA, he was asked about the episode and responded only with,
01:20It's funny.
01:21It's like they were actually on the expedition.
01:23Except I didn't actually make the crew sing a song about me.
01:27Number 29.
01:29Ed Sheeran.
01:30Although not a direct parody of Sheeran himself, he certainly had a reaction to its release.
01:36During Season 9's Ginger Kids episode, Cartman does a presentation about red-haired children.
01:41We've all seen them, on the playground, at the store, walking on the streets.
01:45They creep us out and make us feel sick to our stomachs.
01:48I'm talking, of course, about Ginger Kids.
01:50Eric proceeds to describe them as disgusting creatures who have no souls and cannot survive
01:56in sunlight.
01:57While asleep, Kyle and Stan turn Cartman into a ginger, hoping for him to see the realities
02:02of his hate speech.
02:04Wow, Cartman, you look different.
02:06Yes, well, it's interesting you should point that out, Kyle.
02:08According to Sheeran, despite having been mocked for his red locks back in England, no
02:14one in the United States ever said a word.
02:16That is, until Ginger Kids came along.
02:19In an interview, he implied the episode had ruined his life in America after it aired.
02:25Number 28.
02:26Richard Dawkins.
02:28This two-part story arc of South Park took an extreme look at how the evolutionary process
02:33works.
02:34All right, kids, it is now my job to teach you the theory of evolution.
02:39Oh, boy.
02:40Now, I, for one, think that evolution is a bunch of bullcrap, but I've been told I have
02:46to teach it anyway.
02:47Garrison is heavily opposed to teaching evolution until convinced otherwise by notable evolutionary
02:53biologist Richard Dawkins.
02:55Their new romance spawns an alternate future where religion doesn't exist.
03:00You lived in the time when a great event happened, a glorious event that finally made all religion
03:05obsolete.
03:07Now, the entire world is atheist.
03:10The real-life Dawkins' reaction to his South Park counterpart was a mixed bag.
03:15He loved the satirical take on a future founded on evolutionary facts, but took issue with the
03:20relationship between his fictional self and Garrison, saying he found it to be not satire.
03:2527. Rob Schneider
03:28Once a staple of Saturday Night Live, Rob Schneider left the comedy show to pursue a
03:33career in film acting.
03:34For a while, it seemed like Schneider's choices for roles all shared a common theme.
03:39From an animal to a jugolo and even a woman, he seemed to steer towards characters that fell
03:44into the fish-out-of-water trope.
03:46Rob Schneider was an animal.
03:49Then he was a woman.
03:52And now, Rob Schneider is a stapler.
03:55South Park extended this even further by turning him into a stapler and a carrot.
04:01While appearing on the Club Random podcast with Bill Maher, Schneider discussed the episode
04:05and how he thought it was very funny.
04:07And knowing how brutal the show can be on celebrities, his depiction could have been far worse.
04:12I just remember, like, how people wanted that to hurt you.
04:16You know, they just like, I did that, you see, you know, you know what I mean?
04:18They wanted that.
04:20Absolutely.
04:20Did it make it, did it bleed, did it cut you?
04:2326. Ghost Hunters
04:26Seeing notable acts lose their cool over a parody can be entertaining, but often it's
04:30steering into the satire that endears them even more to us fans.
04:35During one episode, Kyle's brother Ike keeps seeing dead celebrities.
04:39Hi, Billy Mays here for Mega Scrub Cleanser.
04:43Ah!
04:44Are you tired of your kitchen counters getting those nasty stains?
04:48Don't just rub them, Mega Scrub them!
04:50Billy Mays, don't!
04:52This leads the folks over at Ghost Hunters to the Broflowski residence to see if they can
04:57solve this supernatural mystery.
04:59What follows is a brutal takedown on how the most mild sounds and smells can be spun to be
05:05the acts of the dead.
05:06During a Ghost Hunters live session in Milwaukee, the real Ghost Hunters played the clips from
05:11the show and jokingly called it a very accurate depiction of them, even going as far as to
05:16say…
05:17Great craps itself all the time.
05:2025.
05:21Danica Patrick
05:22Cartman has a dream of becoming a NASCAR driver, but is convinced he's not poor and stupid
05:27enough to do so.
05:28With the help of his gullible buddy, Butters, Eric eventually finds his way into the world
05:33of NASCAR, alongside the likes of drivers like Danica Patrick.
05:37Bring it on, Eric Hart!
05:38You scared of the competition?
05:40I'm just as poor and stupid as you!
05:42I'm gonna drive, and I'm gonna go fast, and I'm gonna turn to the left sometimes!
05:47Can we just get back to the subject of racing, please?
05:49Oh, bring it on, Danica!
05:51Patrick, by far and large, comes off a lot easier in this episode than many others on
05:56this list.
05:57Shown to be more irritated by Cartman's behavior than anything, the real Danica Patrick took
06:02her portrayal in stride.
06:03Oh, son of a b----!
06:05During a press conference, she chuckled at the depiction of racers in general, and took
06:10it as a compliment to be featured in such an episode.
06:1324.
06:15Carlos Mencia
06:16Any fan of this show knows how much the writers love to poke fun at Kanye West, but
06:21during the infamous Fish Sticks episode, Carlos Mencia takes both a literal and figurative
06:27beating.
06:28It wasn't me!
06:29I didn't really start the fish stick thing, alright?
06:31You're just saying that now because you're scared.
06:34No, man, it's true!
06:35I stole it, man!
06:37I took credit for it because I'm not actually funny!
06:39While West takes his frustrations out physically on the comedian, the show also takes a swipe at
06:45the accusations of Mencia having stolen jokes from other comics.
06:49When asked about this appearance on the episode, Mencia took it all in stride and seemed to
06:55enjoy being mocked.
06:56He did, however, comment on how he was more surprised at the emotional blowback from the
07:01people in general regarding his joke theft fiasco.
07:04What I didn't realize was the emotional, visceral reaction to all this from people.
07:12I didn't see that coming.
07:15Number 23, Slash.
07:18If you're old enough to be watching this, then The Secret of Santa Claus is probably
07:22out of the bag by now.
07:24But according to South Park, it's not as clear cut when it comes to the Guns N' Roses
07:28guitar player, Slash.
07:30Come on!
07:31Kids write to Slash every day, but it all just goes into this big pile over here.
07:36The reason I can't tell you where Slash lives is because he don't live nowhere.
07:40Don't you ever wonder how Slash can be all those places at the same time?
07:45It's because he's made up!
07:46One season 15 episode puts a spin on the Santa Claus narrative by portraying Slash as a magical
07:52figure who every kid thought was fake but might actually be real.
07:56Kyle, Kyle, look.
08:03You don't think that he isn't real?
08:07Maybe.
08:08Or maybe we haven't been told such a big fib after all.
08:11In our world, Saul Hudson, a.k.a. Slash, is indeed a real guitar player.
08:17But when asked by a fan in a Reddit AMA if he was real or made up by their parents, Slash
08:23said he was real but couldn't be 100% positive of it.
08:27Number 22.
08:28Chris Hansen
08:29Chris Hansen came into the public eye through his To Catch a Predator TV series.
08:34At the height of his popularity, South Park ran an episode where Hansen's signature style
08:39was used to help shine a light on Tourette's Syndrome.
08:43It all started when I received this touching letter from a brave little boy in Colorado.
08:48Dear Mr. Hansen, I have Tourette's and I want the world to understand what it's like.
08:52Won't you do a special report on me so that the world can learn to accept us instead of just
08:56laugh?
08:57Cartman has been faking the condition to justify spouting hate speech without any consequences.
09:02Hoping to do his worst, Cartman gets Hansen to showcase him in a television special, which
09:07takes Hansen's real-life work and inflates it to a preposterous extent.
09:12When asked about it on the Law & Crime Network, the real Hansen praised the show's portrayal
09:17of him, even commenting on how his kids thought he was cool for being on that show.
09:22When Chris Hansen was parodied on South Park, that was a big deal.
09:26Suddenly, I was cool.
09:27Number 21.
09:28Meghan and Harry
09:29The marriage of Meghan Markle to Prince Harry brought an enormous amount of attention to
09:34the royal family, particularly when the duo chose to step away from their official duties
09:38to pursue a seemingly more normal life.
09:41However, it seems their contradicting reasons for their departure is what South Park took
09:46aim at.
09:47We want privacy!
09:49We want privacy!
09:50The episode eviscerated the duo's seeming frustration with a constant bombardment from the media and
09:57a lack of privacy, all while finding any way they can to draw attention to themselves.
10:02After the episode aired, Markle was allegedly very upset and overwhelmed with how they were
10:07portrayed.
10:08There were even reports of a possible lawsuit against the show, and that insiders claimed
10:12future episodes would be monitored for further mockery.
10:16He's right.
10:17Trying to make ourselves into a brand just turned us into products.
10:20We don't need to be a brand, do we?
10:23If it's truly what we want, then we really can get away from it all.
10:27No more magazines and Netflix shows.
10:29We really can live a normal life.
10:31Number 20.
10:32Nicole Snooki Laval
10:34When Jersey Shore first hit the airwaves, fans couldn't get enough of the antics, the
10:39catfights, and promiscuous behavior of the show's star, Nicole Snooki Polizzi.
10:44They're like so rude sometimes, like the way they say things.
10:48I'm not used to like people being so rude like that.
10:51It's kind of offensive.
10:52It didn't take long before South Park dedicated an entire episode to poking fun at the ever-expanding
10:58world that was the Jersey Shore.
11:00One notable gag was their portrayal of Snooki as some type of carnal animal that attacked anyone
11:05who came near her.
11:07What is it?
11:08It's called a Snooki.
11:09It's very famous.
11:10The day after the episode aired, the real Snooki took to Twitter and quoted her South
11:18Park counterpart in saying, Snooki wants smush smush.
11:21We've officially made it.
11:23Clearly laughing at herself, it's a far better reaction than some of the others on this list.
11:29Why are you people doing this?
11:30But I told you, it's just a Jersey thing.
11:32Number 19.
11:34Robert Smith
11:35So this one is less parody, as it's just a rare appearance.
11:40But come on, it's Robert Smith of the Cure.
11:43Going all the way back to the first season of the show, Smith appeared as himself to help
11:48the boys fight Barbra Streisand.
11:50We'll get to her later.
11:52Am I too late?
11:53Who are you?
11:54Dude, it's Robert Smith of the Cure.
11:56Here, you boys, hold this walkie.
11:58You can help me fight her.
11:59Transforming into a Mothra-like creature, he defeats her, and even as Jesus, call him
12:06their savior.
12:06Wow, Robert Smith is the greatest person that ever lived.
12:09Our savior.
12:11When asked about his appearance and portrayal years later, Smith was surprised by what he
12:16saw, but loved how Kyle gave huge props to the Cure's Disintegration album.
12:21Disintegration is the best album ever.
12:23Number 18.
12:25Brian Boitano
12:26In the second Spirit of Christmas shorts, the boys can't decide whether to help Jesus
12:31or Santa.
12:32So when Stan asks, audiences are wondering why they'd ask for help from a figure skater.
12:38Now we've got to think here.
12:40Now let's see, what would Brian Boitano do?
12:43Yeah, what would Brian Boitano do?
12:47Did someone say my name?
12:48The same rang true in the South Park movie, but with a fantastic musical number that followed.
12:54What would Brian Boitano do if he was here right now?
12:57He'd make a plan and he'd follow through.
12:59That's what Brian Boitano do.
13:01Boitano himself saw the movie and worried about his portrayal, but came out loving what
13:06they had done.
13:06He's since worked with the creators to design t-shirts with a slogan and sell them for charity.
13:11On top of that, it introduced him to the likes of younger fans who now only know him
13:16through the show.
13:17Hi guys, Brian Boitano here.
13:19I just wanted to wish you a huge congratulations.
13:23I think your story is so incredible.
13:25Number 17, Paris Hilton.
13:28Near the end of season 8, South Park took aim at Paris Hilton and her status as a role model
13:34for the young girls in town.
13:36I'm pleased to be here in Gouthdark to announce the opening of my brand new store, a store where
13:41girls can buy everything they need to be just like me.
13:44It's hard to tell which part is more brutal, the video playset at the mall or her competition
13:49with Mr. Slave that ends the episode.
13:52Either way, there's no mistaking how savage the show's takedown is.
13:57Oh no, she didn't.
13:59When asked what she thought, she responded by saying she had never seen the episode, but
14:03thought anytime someone makes fun of you, it should be taken as a compliment.
14:08Given how she's tweeted about watching the show at home, we're guessing she's still
14:12a fan.
14:13It's adorable.
14:14Number 16, Terry Irwin.
14:17How long after someone passes away are you allowed to tell jokes about them?
14:21Oh, there's a king croc right there.
14:23He must be 4 meters, 12, 13 feet long at least.
14:27This croc has enough power in his jars to rip my head right off.
14:30In the case of South Park, it's seven weeks.
14:33You know, the whole crocodile hunter thing, it's just a little soon, you know?
14:36I mean, he just died a few weeks ago, and it's just not super cool.
14:41You gotta leave.
14:42Famed crocodile hunter Steve Irwin had been fatally injured in September of 2006.
14:47In late October of the same year, South Park aired an episode that featured him with a stingray
14:52sticking out of his chest.
14:54Terry Irwin, Steve's wife, was incredibly offended by the portrayal, citing concerns
14:59about how her children would feel if they saw it.
15:01She found support in her friend Mark Amy, who suggested Irwin fans sick their dangerous
15:06pets on the creators of the show in protest.
15:09Hey, Satan, you got a little problem.
15:12What?
15:12Somebody showed up in a crocodile hunter costume.
15:15It's really offending some of the other guests.
15:17Oh, jeez.
15:18Number 15.
15:20Sarah Jessica Parker
15:21One thing the creators of South Park have always stood by is their idea that anything
15:27and everything is fair game when it comes to comedy.
15:29No writer would take the time to make fun of Sarah Jessica Parker just because they think
15:34she's ugly.
15:35Yes, they would!
15:36So when female writers called them out for being mean about tearing into Sarah Jessica
15:41Parker over her looks, the two, once again, didn't hold back.
15:45The book is full of disgusting words and acts, including Sarah Jessica Parker, who is mentioned
15:50465 times.
15:52Despite what anyone else thought, Parker herself never addressed the episode directly.
15:58Instead, in an interview with Stylist Magazine, she commented on how people seem to think being
16:04mean is funny.
16:05She went on to add that personal versus professional criticism was uncivilized and vulgar.
16:11Well, obviously I just think it's wrong to make fun of anybody's physical appearance.
16:16My wife is a beautiful woman and I know that most people agree with me.
16:20Number 14.
16:21Mama June Shannon
16:22Shows like Toddlers and Tiaras and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo have received all kinds of criticisms
16:28regarding the depictions of their stars.
16:31Her favorite foods are skeddy and butter, and she likes drinking Red Bull and Mountain Dew.
16:36The latter has been the subject of countless commentary about the family's diet and lifestyle
16:41choices over the course of its four seasons.
16:44Come on!
16:44Come on now, boo-boo!
16:46Now get up and wave to them judges!
16:49Given the type of language often used to describe the popular TLC program, there's a lot of irony
16:55in June Shannon's reaction to being satirized on South Park.
16:58During a TMZ appearance, she was asked what she thought of the parodies of her show.
17:03Taking some in stride, she wasn't a fan of how South Park took her on, saying,
17:08But just the way they portrayed the show, it was just, it was kind of trashy.
17:13Number 13.
17:14Bob Saget
17:15As the original host of America's Funniest Videos, Bob Saget's quips were subtle, and
17:21often bordered on some of the worst dad jokes out there.
17:24Now these next clips are all about coincidence.
17:26Now suppose at the moment that I opened my mouth, from somewhere in the background you heard
17:30like a rooster crow.
17:31That would be coincidence.
17:32Unless I worked on a poultry farm.
17:34Yet week after week, people would tune in to see what videos were coming next.
17:38Back in season one of South Park, Bob's gig as a host was parodied as Stan's grandfather
17:44watched America's Stupidest Home Videos.
17:46Grandpa Marsh loved the jokes, but the boys found them incredibly lame.
17:51Knock knock.
17:52Bob.
17:53Bob Saget.
17:55Meh.
17:56Meh.
17:57Meh.
17:58Meh.
17:59This guy sucks!
18:01During a Reddit AMA, Bob Saget was asked about his portrayal on South Park.
18:05He responded by saying he loved how Grandpa laughed at his jokes.
18:09Comparing it to relationships, he said the parody felt good and hurt all at the same time.
18:14I come out and I look like, you know, Beavis and the Butthead meet Frankenstein.
18:18Number 12.
18:20Martha Stewart
18:21Martha Stewart and her various shows have been depicted several times over the years on South
18:26Park.
18:27With more on Martha Stewart Living.
18:29Her first appearance saw us learn about an unusual way to consume a Thanksgiving Day
18:33turkey, whereas a season 13 episode gave us one of the most creative ways to make use
18:38of paper and glitter crafts.
18:40Either way, much like Bob Saget, she also addressed her appearances on South Park during a Reddit
18:45AMA.
18:46Mrs. Stewart, we have some questions.
18:48Not right now, I just want to focus on my turkey.
18:50Her answer was quick and simple.
18:52I thought it was really cute.
18:53We're not sure if she saw both of these episodes, but we're guessing she thought they were a
18:58good thing.
18:59So now we're ready to go.
19:00Looks delicious.
19:01Let's try it out.
19:02Number 11.
19:03Sally Struthers
19:04Sally Struthers may have got her start on All in the Family, but she went on to become
19:09a spokesperson for ChildFund, a charity focused on helping children in third world countries.
19:15Her commercials would often air on television showing her amongst the kids.
19:19Hunger is an enemy that we all must fight.
19:23These children desperately need your support.
19:24South Park did their own story about children in Africa and featured an oversized Struthers
19:29who had been hoarding all of the donated food.
19:31Yes!
19:32Sally Struthers is holding food from us!
19:35Uh oh.
19:37According to the season 1 DVD commentary, Struthers was a big fan of the show until this episode
19:45aired.
19:46It continues by saying she was so bothered by what she saw in the episode that she was
19:51emotionally distressed for days.
19:53People thought it was really mean to Sally Struthers and apparently Sally Struthers was
19:58a fan of South Park up until she saw this episode and it really bummed her out and what we heard
20:02is that she cried for days.
20:04Number 10.
20:05Nick Jonas
20:06To kick off season 13 of South Park, Kenny and his new girlfriend go off to see the Jonas
20:11Brothers in concert.
20:18The episode takes shots at the brothers by mentioning how they wear purity rings and are essentially
20:24servants to a maniacal Mickey Mouse.
20:26Well, well, maybe we'll just refuse to go on stage.
20:31Woof!
20:32During a 2016 Reddit Ask Me Anything, Nick Jonas admitted he wasn't a big fan of the episode
20:37when it originally came out.
20:38He said that he had so much going on when he was parodied that it was hard to find the
20:42humor in it.
20:43However, the episode has since grown on him.
20:45Bye bye!
20:46Bye bye!
20:47Bye bye!
20:48Bye bye!
20:49He finds it funny and has watched it several times since then.
20:54It's nice to see Nick Jonas being able to laugh at his younger self.
20:58Number 9.
20:59Caesar Milan
21:01In season 10's Tssst episode, Cartman's mom hires Caesar Milan as a trainer to try and
21:07get Cartman in line.
21:08Mom, this is degrading!
21:09Tssst!
21:10Ah, goddammit!
21:11By treating him much like a dog, it doesn't take long for the celeb to make Cartman listen
21:16and behave.
21:17Oh, Eric.
21:18I'm very proud of you.
21:20Th-thank you?
21:21I love you, sweetie.
21:22Okay, mom, you're embarrassing me.
21:23Jeez!
21:24This entry is unique in that it's the only one on the list where the person being featured
21:30made their own YouTube reaction video for their episode.
21:33For the better part of almost 20 minutes, Caesar breaks down the different things the
21:37show did and said.
21:38The clothes that I'm wearing is exactly what I used to wear.
21:43He's more than complimentary to the creators and shows a genuine love for what they do.
21:48They did an incredible job of representing exactly, exactly what I do.
21:56Now, that is how you react to being on South Park.
22:01Number 8.
22:02Al Gore
22:03When Season 10's Man-Bear-Pig episode aired, it was intended to poke fun at how frequently
22:08Al Gore wanted to talk about climate change.
22:12Man-Bear-Pig?
22:13It is a creature which roams the earth alone.
22:17It is half man, half bear, and half pig.
22:21The creators had no problem roasting how intense the politician got about his beliefs.
22:26Yet more than 10 years later, they'd changed their minds and made an in-episode apology to
22:32Gore.
22:33Not all.
22:36During an appearance on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Gore was asked about what he thought
22:41of his portrayal.
22:42Not only did he think his original episode was funny, but he praised the show for later
22:46acknowledging how real Man-Bear-Pig turned out to be.
22:49It was great to see Gore take everything in stride and appreciate what the show had done.
22:54I thought it was a hell of a statement by South Park, and I appreciated it a lot.
22:59Number 7.
23:00Russell Crowe
23:01You walked right through my shot, mate!
23:03Do you know who I am?
23:04Oh, excuse me, I was just…
23:07Never afraid to go after whomever was causing a stir in the real world, the folks at South
23:12Park took aim at gladiator star Russell Crowe.
23:15He loves to act, but he loves one thing more, fighting around the world.
23:19He'd been in the news several times due to his aggressive behavior.
23:23The writers took this to the nth degree and devoted an entire storyline, where they showed
23:27him as a person who just picks fights around the world.
23:30Hey, you wanna fight, huh?
23:31Think you can take me, you little buggers?
23:35When Crowe appeared on 60 Minutes, he was asked about his portrayal on the show.
23:39He was quick to compliment Parker and Stone for their work.
23:42Crowe also admitted that seeing himself in such an exaggerated manner actually got him
23:46to reflect on his own life.
23:47For me, a lot of it, if there was something for me to learn from it, is the analogous thing.
23:55Because I did think the whole thing was a fight.
23:57I did think my whole career was a struggle.
23:59Judging from his statements, it seems as though seeing his depiction on South Park may
24:04have actually been therapeutic for the actor.
24:076.
24:08George R.R.
24:10Martin
24:11It's the Red Wedding, isn't it?
24:12You hate how I killed everyone off!
24:14South Park once opted to do a three-part episode devoted to HBO's Game of Thrones.
24:19The epic comedy is set in and around Black Friday.
24:22During the story, the boys fight each other over access to the two new game consoles coming
24:27out that weekend.
24:28Part way, though, George R.R.
24:30Martin, the author of the books which inspired Game of Thrones, appears.
24:34He tries to help the boys with dragon knowledge, but keeps talking about one particular part
24:39of human anatomy.
24:40Stop, please!
24:41I can't take anymore!
24:43But this is the best part!
24:44The real Martin is a fan of the show and largely likes his South Park portrayal, but
24:49he did have a hilarious and not exactly safe for work response indicating that he's actually
24:54obsessed with another physical feature of human beings.
24:585.
24:59Lorde
25:00No matter how many times we talk about Randy Marsh as Lorde, it still makes us laugh.
25:05Lorde, we're all big fans of your music and we thank the world of you for staying and
25:10working here even after your music career took off.
25:12Well, my music and fluvial geomorphology are intertwined.
25:15But knowing what the singer herself thinks about it makes the plotline even better.
25:20At the start of season 18, we get a glimpse of Randy Marsh dressed up as Lorde singing.
25:25This turns into a story later on where we find out he's the real singer and is struggling
25:35to maintain his dual identities.
25:37My girls are big fans of your music, Lorde, but the women here aren't comfortable sharing
25:42a bathroom with…
25:43With what?
25:45During an interview and on her own social media outlets, Lorde gave praise for the show's
25:50portrayal of her.
25:51She even went as far as to do an impression of Randy doing his impression of her.
25:55Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm Lorde, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:58Lorde's meta compliment is a huge sign of her approval.
26:014.
26:02Barbara Streisand
26:04Way back, during the first season of South Park, the show decided to take aim at Barbara
26:09Streisand.
26:10I'm going…
26:11Ah!
26:12Stop it!
26:13Where there's lucky clovers in the…
26:16Yeah, that sucks, dude!
26:17The show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, chose her mainly out of her distaste
26:22for their home state of Colorado, whom she had swore to never return to.
26:26After being portrayed in the episode, Mecca Streisand, the singer responded with a fairly
26:31serious answer.
26:33Instead of simply taking the jab with a grain of salt, she called out their particular brand
26:44of satire.
26:45Streisand claimed shows like South Park add cynicism and negativity in our culture, especially
26:50in children.
26:51Stone and Parker clearly didn't take her comments too much to heart because they continued
26:56to make fun of her.
26:57There she is, Tom!
26:58Barbara Streisand!
26:59My God, she's even more terrifying than I remembered.
27:12Number three, Jennifer Lopez.
27:15When 2003 rolled around and J-Lo made her first appearance on South Park, the singer-actress
27:21wasn't exactly a fan.
27:22But you don't have to ask me.
27:24You can ask my special guest, Ms. Jennifer Lopez.
27:27Jennifer Lopez?
27:28No way!
27:29Ms. Lopez, come on out here.
27:31Hello!
27:32Oh, Jesus Christ.
27:35My name is Jennifer Lopez.
27:37I eat tacos and burritos.
27:38Even prior to the episode's airing, it appeared that South Park co-creator Trey Parker had
27:43already gotten on her bad side after infamously wearing her dress to the 2000 Oscars.
27:49After season seven's Fat Butt and Pancake Head came along, the bad blood she had for the
27:53show and its creators seemed to intensify.
27:56That?
27:57That's what replaced me?
27:58I'm sure it was just a mistake.
28:00The only mistake was when this ghetto trash got signed in the first place.
28:03Shut your goddamn mouth.
28:04Parker and Stone had even heard that people were allegedly fired from the set of a J-Lo
28:09movie after repeating lines from the episode around her.
28:12We wouldn't recommend mentioning the show at all if you're ever around the pop star.
28:16Do you remember what I want to order?
28:18Three tacos, two tostadas, and a soda pop.
28:20Number two, Kanye West.
28:22Do you like fish dicks?
28:24Love them.
28:25You're a gay fish.
28:27No, I'm not!
28:30Ah!
28:31Do you like fish dicks?
28:33Well, apparently Kanye West doesn't.
28:36You really don't get it.
28:37Hey man, I'm a genius, alright?
28:39I'm the most talented musician in the world!
28:42During a season 13 episode, Cartman and Jimmy come up with a silly joke about fish dicks that
28:47sticks that serves as a double entendre. Although everyone on earth is laughing at the joke,
28:53the only one who doesn't get it is Kanye West. Things went slightly differently in the real
29:10world when West responded to his portrayal with an all caps post. During the post, he claimed he
29:16was working on some of the negative aspects of his personality and talked about the nature of
29:20celebrity. But West also complimented the show's creators and admitted to finding the show funny.
29:26It was weirdly inspiring to see the musician rolling with the punches. However, a lyric from
29:31his song, Gorgeous, may have indicated that he was still feeling bitter about the whole ordeal.
29:37We make them say, oh, cause the game's so pimpish. Choke a South Park writer with a fish stick.

29:58Number 1. Tom Cruise.
30:02Elrond, it really is you. Oh, this is the greatest day of my life.
30:07South Park has made itself known as being willing to go after anyone, regardless of who they are.
30:13One of the most well-known reactions to an episode of the show came after season 9's
30:18Trapped in the Closet episode. The story poked fun at both Scientology and Tom Cruise.
30:23Tom, don't you think this has gone on long enough? It's time for you to come out of the closet.
30:29I'm not in the closet.
30:30Rumor has it that the actor was so offended by the episode that he threatened to pull his
30:35Mission Impossible 3 press tour unless the network agreed to not rerun the episode in question.
30:41Don't trust me. Just don't.
30:44Whether or not Cruise actually made this threat was irrelevant because the original re-airing was
30:48pulled. It did make the air again, eventually, without issue, long after the heat of the actor
30:54controversy cooled down.
30:55So you're not the prophet, huh? You made me look stupid. I'm going to sue you, too.
31:00Well, fine. Go ahead and sue me.
31:02I will. I'll sue you in England.
