OT: For all the South Park fans

June 20th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Off topic

I think we need a palate cleanser.

So this is for all the South Park fans out there. This is a rare video that Matt and Trey made before they became famous. The back story is that in 1995, Seagrams (a company famous for its wine coolers) bought Universal Studios. The new CEO wanted a video that would reassure employees and actors that everything would be fine under the new management, and the South Park guys were hired to direct the video. :) Needless to say, Universal didn’t know what it was getting when it hired those two. The vid is literally filled with star cameos: Stallone, Spielberg, James Cameron, Demi Moore, and a whole bunch of other stars are in it; all essentially lampooning themselves in the most embarrassing ways. Stallone really gets it, especially at the very end.

I wonder what the CEO looked like after watching this. :)

    Dave, you STILL don’t write technical posts. ;- )

    Great clip. I love the self-parodying.

    Hehe…consider this as a further sign of rebellion. And on a blog….imagine that. :)
