Her greatest weaknesses have been shown as her nose, and singing duets with singer Neil Diamond. When an archaeological dig resulted in Eric Cartman and Kyle Broflovski discovering the final triangle, she visited the town to retrieve it, eventually taking them hostage. After a devastating rampage across town, she was finally defeated with the help of the boys, Chef , Maltin, Sidney Poitier and Robert Smith , and she was blown apart, and the triangles again separated.
Her hatred for the town of South Park only grew. The incident, and the woman herself, have remained infamous. Her remains were eventually collected and rebuilt by Tom Cruise and Rob Reiner , who sought to attract her involvement in their class-action lawsuit against the town. After relocating the Diamond of Pantheos, Mel Gibson used it to reactivate her and release her upon the town.
Her appetite for destruction had only grown, and she destroyed Casa Bonita and even killed a brave Pip Pirrup as he boldly stood up to the four-hundred foot robot. The pair broke up a month before getting married, after Adamo allegedly cheated on Parker and dumped him for an acapella singer.
In order to enact some revenge, Parker named Cartman's mother after her, proceeding to paint her as one of the most promiscuous animated characters in television history. The moral of the story? Don't cheat and dump someone before they become super-rich and mega-successful. They might just shove that right back in your face forever, from the relative safety of their guarded mansion.
While South Park has always mocked celebrities, Barbara Streisand seems to earn a large share of their ire. Streisand gets this major dump-on, because Trey Parker and Matt Stone take issue with her knocking Colorado. Streisand had claimed that, while she owned a mansion in Aspen, she would boycott Colorado and never return if it passed Amendment 2, which would have prevented homosexuals from being recognized as a protected class by the state's government.
In a DVD commentary , the pair admitted they "had to do something to rip" Streisand, offended by her in general, but mostly her attempt to force-feed us her opinions on a political matter when she was just, "at best, an actor and singer. One can feel the bruises forming from here. Needless to say, Streisand, not happy with her portrayal as a giant mechanical dinosaur, told Mirabella , "I wonder if shows like South Park and Beavis and Butt-head don't add to the cynicism and negativity in our culture, especially in children.
These youngsters are formulating their attitudes and maybe they come away feeling that any woman who dares to accomplish something is the incarnation of self-centeredness and greed. In response, Parker and Stone had their next episode feature Spooky-Vision, with pictures of Babs in each corner of the screen. Later on, they would add her monstrous dinosaur to the opening of the show, so viewers were reminded of it every single time they watched.
Game, set, match. While Trey Parker and Matt Stone are known to turn around episodes in just six days , a remarkable amount of time, one episode nearly did the series in. In Make Love, Not Warcraft, the boys become obsessed with playing World of Warcraft , and then later on, Stan's dad, Randy, also joins in the addictive fun because he, like virtually every other adult in the show, is an bigger child than the children.
While the episode remains a popular one, featuring specially-created footage from the game featuring characters played by the cast, it also represents the breaking point for Trey Parker, who tried to prevent the episode from airing.
In an interview with The Independent , Parker admitted he begged Executive Producer Anne Garefino to prevent the episode from airing, feeling it was going to not just suck, but destroy the entire legacy of the series. With no real choice, as they had to go on the air, Parker finally relented and let it happen.
He resigned himself to the inevitable and went to bed depressed, only to learn the next day that the episode was well-received.
Years later, it's considered a classic. Warcraft remains a reminder of how far Parker pushed himself and his team to get it right, but didn't realize they actually did until the fans spoke up. Ain't no pressure like self-pressure, yo. For the first few seasons of S outh Park , one of the few assured elements of virtually every episode was the death of Kenny McCormick.
In fact, the ever-suffering Kenny became one of the aspects of the series that helped fuel its initial momentum. Fans all have their favorite Kenny death scenes, but what they may not know is Kenny was real. Yes, Kenny was based on a real person named Kenny. This kid also wore an orange coat, mumbled, and was the poorest kid in the neighborhood. No worries about lawsuits here. As Trey Parker explained in an appearance at the Payley Center in , the real-life Kenny was a friend from school who would often disappear for long periods of time.
This would cause rumors to spread that he had actually died, only to see Kenny return to school as if nothing had ever happened. So, somewhere out there is a long-lost friend so fondly remembered by Parker, that the man kills him over and over. It made me laugh. These youngsters are formulating their attitudes and maybe they come away feeling that any woman who dares to accomplish something is the incarnation of self-centeredness and greed.
And that would be very unfortunate, especially for young girls. So how did South Park respond to Streisand?
