SOUTH PARK SOUTH PARK "P.E.N.I.S Challenge" BY Tino Gonzalez-Kakouris ACT I INT. LOCAL BAR. The South Park men are crowding around Stephen Stotch watching a video of Butters on his phone. BUTTERS WELL, HELLO EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS BUTTERS AND I HAVE BEEN NOMINATED BY MY DAD TO TAKE THE ALS ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE. ALS IS A JUST A, WELL IT’S A JUST TERRIBLE DISEASE AND I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES. Cut to the men at the bar. JIMBO Wow, that’s great your son is such an activist Stephen. STEPHEN Well that’s my Butters. He’s really taken an interest in this charity. Back to video on youtube. BUTTERS And I’d like to nominate my very best friends for the challenge: Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski and Eric Cartman. You have 24 hours to take the challenge. Butters lifts up a bucket of ice water and raises it over his head. A little water splashes on his head. BUTTERS Oh my! That water is really, really cold! Does the water need to have this much ice? STEPHEN Butters, quit being a little bitch and dump the bucket of ice water over your head. Randy walks over to the men watching the video. 2. RANDY Hey, what are you guys watching? GERALD Little Butters is doing the Ice Bucket challenge. RANDY Ice bucket challenge? Wh-what is that? STEPHEN It’s an internet challenge to raise awareness and donations for ALS. RANDY (under his breath) What the fuck is ALS? Back to video. BUTTERS But I don’t wanna. It’s too cold and will make my head hurt. STEPHEN Oh real nice Butters. So you don’t want to save thousands of lives because you’re afraid to get your head cold? BUTTERS I want to help, but can’t I just donate money to the charity instead? STEPHEN Butters! You pour that bucket of ice water over your head right now, or you are grounded Mister. BUTTERS Oh hamburgers. (Pours bucket of ice) Owee! Ouch it hurts! My head is frozen. Ahhhh the pain! (sobs) I can’t feel my head! I’m numb, numb all over! Back to bar. GERALD Wow, good for him! 3. STEPHEN That’s my Butters! MR. TESTABURGER That’s some inspiring stuff. RANDY (Confused) So how does pouring a bucket of ice water over your head cure a disease? MR. MACKEY It’s not about curing the disease, but spreading awareness m’kay? ALS is um, bad. M’kay? STEPHEN The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was started by using YouTube to get celebrities and people everywhere spreading the message of ALS to get people to donate. GERALD If someone accepts and completes the challenge they can then nominate others to dump ice water on their own head and donate to the ALS foundation. RANDY Oh, is that right? INT. SCHOOL CAFETERIA. CARTMAN Oh my God, you guys. The VMA’s were so lame! It was just a bunch of nobodies trying to be famous by wearing the least amount of clothing. CRAIG Did you see that Kanye West announced he’s running for president? CARTMAN Ugh, that is so stupid. First of all, why did the pussy say he’s waiting to run for office in 2020? He obviously knows Donald Trump would beat his ass. 4. KYLE Donald Trump is... CARTMAN (Interrupting) And secondly, Kyle, Kanye would never win because the U.S. will never allow a black man to be president. TOKEN Then what do you call President Obama? CARTMAN Jesus, Token. We’ve been through this before: Barack Obama is only half black, so he’s not as intimidating as a full on black. You think they’d allow a full black guy in the white house? KYLE What? CARTMAN It’s true. His mother is some white chick from Kansas. So, sorry to break your balls Token, but whites win again. KYLE That is the most racist thing I’ve ever heard. CARTMAN Oh, what Kyle? You want butthole Kanye West to be our president? KYLE No. I think he is an arrogant idiot who’s only trying to gain more fame by being a retard. Neither him nor Donald Trump should be considered. Trump is just a washed up racist billionaire who’s bored and wants to take a shot at winning the election. CARTMAN Donald Trump is an American icon and legend. His white Christian values are something to be inspired by and best of all he wants to send (MORE) 5. CARTMAN (cont’d) all those no good dirty Mexicans back across the border. KYLE God damnit Cartman! Butters walks up to the table with his lunch. BUTTERS Well, hey there fellas. You guys ready for the challenge? CARTMAN What are you talking about gaywad? BUTTERS The Ice Bucket Challenge. I nominated you, Kyle and Stan. CARTMAN The Ice what challenge? STAN Oh, no. I’m not getting into that crap. BUTTERS It’s this thing you do where you pour a bucket of ice water over your head to save people from ALS. STAN Pouring a bucket of ice over your head doesn’t save lives, Butters. It just makes you an asshole. CRAIG If someone nominates you, you have to do the challenge. STAN Shut up Craig! CARTMAN Yeah, shut your fucking mouth Craig. So let me get this straight: people are doing stupid things on the internet to make themselves look like idiots AND giving money away to charities? 6. KYLE It’s supposed to raise awareness and get people to donate, fat ass. CARTMAN Don’t lecture me on donating, Kyle. We all know jews are money hungry selfish thieves who hoard their money like greedy little squirrels. Jews don’t give their money away to charity because they have no hearts and don’t care about anyone else but themselves. STAN Lay off of him dude. CARTMAN No? Don’t think I’m right? Then why haven’t you donated to this ASL charity yet, Kyle? KYLE Because I think it’s stupid to dump ice over my head. CARTMAN Because you’re a greedy little jew squirrel with no heart! KYLE God damnit Cartman! BUTTERS ALS is a great charity to donate to fellas. You should consider the challenge. CARTMAN Well since I’m not a thieving jew I’ll accept your challenge Butters and happily donate, but you have to help me with something first. BUTTERS Sure, what is it Eric? CARTMAN No time to explain now. Meet me at my house after school. Gentlemen, jew. EXT SCHOOL YARD 7. Everyone around South Park is catching word of the Ice Bucket challenge and nominating others to partake in the trend. MR. MACKEY This is going to be pretty cold, M’kay, but I’d like to nominate Mr. Garrison to do the Ice Bucket Challenge to eliminate ALS, M’kay. (Pours bucket) Oh boy! That’s cold. M’kay, someone get me a towel. Mr. Mackey dumps the ice water over his head and the scenes to follow repeat the steps. MR. GARRISON My name is Herbert Garrison and I’d like to nominate Mr. Slave to complete the Ice Bucket Challenge. MR. SLAVE Oh Jesus, I’ve been nominated to take the Ice Bucket challenge and I’m nominating Towelie. (Pours bucket) Oh Jesus, Jesus Christ! TOWELIE Hi I’m Towelie and, and I’m super high. There’s a bucket of water here and I think I’m supposed to do something with it. Hey, maybe if I get more high I can remember! (smokes weed) Hey, I have an idea! What if we pour this water on a cute little gremlin? GREMLIN (Here we see a gremlin from the 80s movie talking cute gibberish. The gremlin then pours a bucket of water on itself to take the ALS challenge but turns into an evil Gremlin and attacks the person videotaping the challenge, kills him and runs away). EXT SOUTH PARK POND Kyle, Kenny and Stan are walking to the pond to test out their new remote control speedboats, but are caught by a surprise. 8. KYLE Dude, I can’t believe you got the new Speed Ripper 3000! They’re sold out everywhere. STAN Yeah, apparently my parents ordered it off Amazon the day it came out to arrive for my birthday. KENNY (muffled speech) I heard these things kick ass. KYLE Yeah, I heard it gets up to 30 miles per hour. STAN Dude... What the hell? The boys arrive to the pond to see that it is drained and bare of all water leaving dead fish as a result. KYLE What happened? Where’s all the water? KENNY (Muffled speech) When did this happen? STAN I don’t know dude, I came here a few weeks ago to go fishing with my dad. KYLE The poor animals, they’re dying. UNKNOWN "Hukaaaaah, hukaaaaaah!" The boys hear a strange sound in the distance. KENNY (Muffled speech) What the fuck is that? KYLE It’s coming from over there. 9. UNKNOWN "Hukaaaaaaaaah!Huk-aaaaaaaaaahh!" STAN Oh, no. AL GORE "Hukaaaaaah!" Boys! Be careful, he might be lurking around. KENNY (Muffled speech) Who’s lurking around? AL GORE (Scoffs) Manbearpig, of course! Why do you think the pond here is all dried up? Who do you think is responsible for causing such destruction to the environment? I’ll tell you who: Manbearpig. KYLE What? AL GORE I’m super cereal. Manbearpig is trying to destroy all the humans by causing global warming and he’s only getting stronger! STAN Nope.

  • Imaginationland," Terrorism, and the Difference Between Real And
    Christopher C. Kirby, PhD. Eastern Washington University Cheney, WA. 99004 “IMAGINATIONLAND,” TERRORISM, AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REAL AND IMAGINARY CHRISTOPHER C. KIRBY Eastern Washington University “Ladies and gentlemen, I have dire news. Yesterday, at approximately 18:00 hours, terrorists successfully attacked... our imagination”1 “Imaginationland” was an Emmy winning, three-part story which aired as the tenth, eleventh and twelfth episodes of South Park’s eleventh season and was later re-issued as a movie with all of the deleted scenes included. The story begins with the boys waiting in the woods for a leprechaun that Cartman claims to have seen. Kyle, ever the skeptic, has bet ten dollars against sucking Cartman’s balls that leprechauns aren’t real. When the boys finally trap one, to Kyle’s shock and dismay, it cryptically warns of a terrorist attack and disappears. That night at the dinner table Kyle asks his parents where leprechauns come from and why one would visit South Park to warn of a terrorist attack. They chide him for not knowing the difference between real and imaginary and he mutters, “I thought I did.” What ensues is pure South Park genius as we discover that, in fact, nobody seems to know what the difference is. As the story unfolds it’s obvious that no one will be safe, as the episode lampoons the U.S. “war on terror,” the American legal system, Hollywood directors, the media, Christianity, the military, Kurt Russell, and Al Gore’s campaign against climate change [ManBearPig is real… I’m super cereal!] all the while reminding us that imagination is an essential feature of human life.

Title: Speaking of South Park Author: Christina Slade Response to this paper by: Susan Drake (c)2000 Christina Slade South Park is, at first blush, an unlikely vehicle for the teaching of argumentation and of reasoning skills. Yet the cool of the program, and its ability to tap into the concerns of youth, make it an obvious site. This paper analyses the argumentation of one of the programs which deals with genetic engineering. Entitled 'An Elephant makes love to a Pig', the episode begins with the elephant being presented to the school bus driver as 'the new disabled kid'; and opens a debate on the virtues of genetic engineering with the teacher saying: 'We could have avoided terrible mistakes, like German people'. The show both offends and ridicules received moral values. However a fine grained analysis of the transcript of 'An Elephant makes love to a Pig' shows how superficially absurd situations conceal sophisticated argumentation strategies.

South Park is a popular culture artifact that deals with numerous contemporary social and political issues. A narrative analysis of nine episodes of the show finds multiple themes. First, South Park is successful in creating a polysemous political message that allows audiences with varying political ideologies to relate to the program. Second, South Park ’s universal appeal is in recurring populist themes that are anti-hypocrisy, anti-elitism, and anti- authority. Third, the narrative functions to develop these themes and characters, setting, and other elements of the plot are representative of different ideologies. Finally, this study concludes

  • Configuring a Scatological Gaze in Trash Filmmaking Zoe Gross
    Excremental Ecstasy, Divine Defecation and Revolting Reception: Configuring a Scatological Gaze in Trash Filmmaking Zoe Gross Scatology, for all the sordid formidability the term evokes, is not an es- pecially novel or unusual theme, stylistic technique or descriptor in film or filmic reception. Shit happens – to emphasise both the banality and perva- siveness of the cliché itself – on multiple levels of textuality, manifesting it- self in both the content and aesthetic of cinematic texts, and the ways we respond to them. We often refer to “shit films,” using an excremental vo- cabulary redolent of detritus, malaise and uncleanliness to denote their otherness and “badness”. That is, films of questionable taste, aesthetics, or value, are frequently delineated and defined by the defecatory: we describe them as “trash”, “crap”, “filth”, “sewerage”, “shithouse”. When considering cinematic purviews such as the b-film, exploitation, and shock or trash filmmaking, whose narratives are so often played out on the site of the gro- tesque body, a screenscape spectacularly splattered with bodily excess and waste is de rigeur. Here, the scatological is both often on blatant dis- play – shit is ejected, consumed, smeared, slung – and underpining or tinc- turing form and style, imbuing the text with a “shitty” aesthetic. In these kinds of films – which, as their various appellations tend to suggest, are de- fined themselves by their association with marginality, excess and trash, the underground, and the illicit – the abject body and its excretia not only act as a dominant visual landscape, but provide a kind of somatic, faecal COLLOQUY text theory critique 18 (2009).

  • Walmart Faces Class Action Over Inhaling of Dust Spray
    CASE 0:20-cv-01473-NEB-TNL Document 1 Filed 06/26/20 Page 1 of 75 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA Natalie A. Chairez and Samantha G. Chairez, Case No. ______________ Plaintiffs, COMPLAINT AND DEMAND vs. FOR JURY TRIAL AW Distributing, Inc., Walmart Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores East, LP, Wal- Mart Stores East, LLC, and John Doe Company Defendants #1–10, Defendants. COME NOW, Plaintiffs, who for their causes of action against Defendants, state and allege: INTRODUCTION 1. Inhalant abuse has been known and prevalent in the United States for decades. Many common household products are used to get high because they are cheap and easily accessible, such as aerosols, glue, cleaning fluids, and gasoline, as examples. 2. One type of inhalant that people commonly abuse to get high is computer dust remover sprays. These products are compressed gas in a can that are used to spray off dust and debris from whatever surface is being cleaned. However, they contain a gas—difluoroethane—that, if inhaled, causes the person to lose consciousness and control of the bodily movements nearly immediately. CASE 0:20-cv-01473-NEB-TNL Document 1 Filed 06/26/20 Page 2 of 75 3. These dust removers are cheap and available at retail locations throughout the United States, meaning anyone with a few dollars can purchase the product to get high. Dust removers are popular among inhalant abusers, so much so that the companies who design, manufacture, distribute, and sell these products profit greatly as a result. Manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of dust removers— such as AW Distributing, Inc., Walmart Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores East, LP, and Wal-Mart Stores East, LLC (collectively “Defendants”)—know that people inhale their dust removers to get high.

  • Boondocks Vs. South Park
    Satire, Race, and Modern Cartoons: Boondocks vs. South Park Stanford University Communication Department June 4, 2011 Melanie J Murphy Satire is primarily seen in literary form where irony, sarcasm and ridicule are used in order to expose, or denounce vice or folly with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. In addition to satire as a literary genre, we have seen an increase in the use of satire in American television as well. Popular cartoons such as the Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, and the Boondocks are known to have created controversy through episodes that feature satire on political, social, and racial issues. While all four of these cartoons have satirical content, the Boondocks and South Park dedicate the majority of their satire each episode toward one main issue. It would be interesting to see if (1) there are racial differences between how whites and blacks view both shows and (2) if the satire featured in these two shows actually exposes society’s foolishness, possibly leading to improvement. It is our hypothesis that through social identification theory, groups will be made through the similarity of race (Tajfel, 1982). This will allow for those who identify with either race, to feel more positively toward the show of their own race. Comedy Central’s South Park is a satirical, animated show, made for mature audiences created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Although the show is thought by some to be incredibly offensive, the creators explain that there is an underlying moral lesson. The show follows four characters that live in the fictional predominantly white town of South Park, Colorado.

Sisällönanalyyttinen ja kuvatutkimuksellinen tulkinta fiktiivisen ohjelman sisältämistä poliittisista representaatioista Pro gradu -tutkielma, 115 s., 4 liites. Valtio-oppi Maaliskuu 2012 ___________________________________________________________ Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastelen yhdysvaltalaisen South Park -tv-sarjan tapaa esittää poliittisia aiheita ja politiikan toimijoita. Tulkitsen kahdeksaa sarjan jaksoa sisällönanalyyttisin ja kuvatutkimuksellisin keinoin. Muodostan yksittäisissä jaksoissa esitetyistä kuvista ja tekstisisällöstä induktiivisen päätelmän, johon kokoan yhtenäisen näkemyksen sarjan tavasta esittää ja kehystää politiikkoja, poliittista toimintaa sekä asiakysymyksiä jaksoissa. Tutkimuksen pääaineiston jaksoissa esiintyy useita erilaisia aiheita ja teemoja, joita on mahdoton asettaa yhden kokoavan temaattisen tulkinnan alle. Työni kannalta on johdonmukaisempaa analysoida ja tulkita kulloinkin käsiteltävänä olevan jakson sisällössä esitettävää kokonaisnäkemystä etenkin liberaali–konservatiiviasettelun ja toisaalta puoluepoliittisen demokraatti–republikaani-dikotomian kautta. Analyysistäni selvisi, että South Park kritisoi niin demokraatteja kuin republikaanejakin.
