South Park is an
American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy
Central television network. Intended for mature audiences, the show has become
famous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that lampoons a wide
range of topics. The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh,
Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures
in and around the titular Colorado town.
Parker and Stone
developed the show from two animated shorts they created in 1992 and 1995. The
latter became one of the first Internet viral videos, which ultimately led to
its production as a series. South Park debuted in August 1997 with great
success, consistently earning the highest ratings of any basic cable program.
Subsequent ratings have varied but it remains one of Comedy Central's highest
rated shows, and is slated to air through at least 2016.[3]
The pilot episode
was produced using cutout animation. All subsequent episodes are created with
software that emulates the cutout technique. Parker and Stone perform most of
the voice acting. Since 2000, each episode is typically written and produced
during the week preceding its broadcast, with Parker serving as the primary
writer and director.
The series has
received numerous accolades, including four Primetime Emmy Awards, a Peabody
Award, and numerous inclusions in various publications' lists of greatest
television shows. The show's popularity resulted in a feature-length theatrical
film, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut which was released in June 1999,
less than two years after the show's premiere, and became a commercial and
critical success.
Celebrities who
appear on the show are usually impersonated, though some celebrities lend their
voice to their characters. Celebrities who have voiced themselves include
Michael Buffer,[89][90] Brent Musburger,[91] Jay Leno,[92] Robert Smith,[93]
and the bands Radiohead and Korn.[94][95] Comedy team Cheech & Chong voiced
characters representing their likenesses for the season four (2000) episode
"Cherokee Hair Tampons", which was the duo's first collaborative
effort in 20 years.[96] Malcolm McDowell appears in live-action sequences as
the narrator of the season four episode "Pip".[97]
Jennifer
Aniston,[98] Richard Belzer,[99] Natasha Henstridge,[93] Norman Lear,[100] and
Peter Serafinowicz[101] have guest starred as other speaking characters. During
South Park's earliest seasons, several high-profile celebrities inquired about
guest-starring on the show. As a joke, Parker and Stone responded by offering
low-profile, non-speaking roles, most of which were accepted; George Clooney
provided the barks for Stan's dog Sparky in the season one (1997) episode
"Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride",[102] Leno provided the meows for
Cartman's cat in the season one finale "Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty
Slut",[102] and Henry Winkler voiced the various growls and grunts of a
kid-eating monster in the season two (1998) episode "City on the Edge of
Forever".[103] Jerry Seinfeld offered to lend his voice for the
Thanksgiving episode "Starvin' Marvin", but declined to appear when
he was only offered a role as "Turkey #2" -Wikipedia
