Wednesday, May 16, 2012 The actors who portrayed the boys in the live-action sequence of the ziplining episode...are they part of the South Park crew or did you guys really find actors to play the boys? Haha.: As much as we like to do everything in-house here, those guys were actors. Stan was played by Michael Zazarino, Kyle by Eli Bildner, Cartman by Brandon Hardesty, and Kenny by Josh Beren. Kudos to all four of them, they did a pretty epic job of bringing the boys to life...with herpes. You can download a real-life picture of Trey, Matt and the actors taken after filming the sequence right here!
Monday, May 14, 2012 I have three questions that I'm sure you can answer and they all come from "Cartmanland"! First, is Cartman's hired security at Cartmanland the same Mall Cop that pepper sprayed him in "Something You Can Do With Your Finger"? Second, why is Gerald holding a Bible when he visits Kyle in the hospital? AND third, one of Cartman's rollercoasters is called Chupacabra. Coincidence?: Happy to take on that trifecta of "Cartmanland" trivia! Let's tackle these in order:

Firstly, yes Cartman's Security guard is absolutely the same Mall Cop from "Something You Can Do With Your Finger". (He also makes another cameo with the group of Security Guards trying to stop Garrison in "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina", 901.) Second, I hate to point out the obvious on this one, but the Bible also contains scriptures for the Jewish faith. It's called the Old Testament, and it's very important to Judaism. Later in the episode, they also go into a pretty vivid reenactment from the Book of Job, which again is in the Old Testament.

And lastly, big props for that find, dude!! I actually never noticed the rollercoaster was named "The Chupacabra" until you pointed that out. That's a pretty awesome easter egg, and perhaps that's what got Cartman thinking about the elusive ""Jewpacabra"....
Monday, May 14, 2012 Hey, I have a question. In the episode about Stan and bullying, when they are filming the video, is that Kip holding the video camera?: Oh hell yeah it is! That's Kip taking the lead as the cameraman, and Dougie rocking the boom mic. Didn't you see Kip's Facebook status?

"Shot bullying video. Then had strawberries as a snack."

Sadly... It got no "likes."
Monday, May 14, 2012 Why is live action Kenny brunette in "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining"? I thought he was supposed to be blonde.: A lot of people asked this, and the answer is pretty simple. The live-action bit from "Ziplining" is a parody of how crappy and un-detailed reality show re-enactments are. Watch any of those shows with dramatisations or event recreations -- they are horrible. You will probably also notice that Kyle's hair AND Cartman's shirt are the wrong colours as well.
Monday, May 14, 2012 Hi! Yesterday, when I was watching TV, the "Men In Black 3" add appeared. Suddenly I saw Will Smith riding the "IT" from the episode "The Entity" and I was like WTF??! My question is: Did they copy it from South Park or was it an older invention? I'm so shocked right now...: Haha. You noticed that, huh? Yes, the official trailer for "Men In Black 3" definitely shows a clip of a very IT-like mode of transportation -- you can spot it towards the end of the trailer.

We're not sure if they got the idea. We also don't know if it operates on the 4 flexi-grip mouth-and-anus system invented by Garrison. But one thing's for sure, it does look surprisingly similar!
Monday, May 14, 2012 So my brother got some gross Peeps candy this Easter, and somehow, it got us talking about South Park. He remembered an episode where they scream "PEEEEEPS!", but we couldn't remember the episode title or what season it was from. Could you help us with that? Please and thank you! :D (Please kill Kenny this season!): I can certainly help you out with that one. It's from the bunny-filled episode "Fantastic Easter Special" in Season 11. When the rogue, Catholic ninjas attack and try to capture Snowball, Professor Teabag is forced to jam some marshmallow birds into the microwave and set it to self-destruct...
Monday, May 14, 2012 In the new "Butterballs" episode, what was the "Jackin' It In San Diego" referring to?: Can't believe how many people asked this question and totally missed this reference. "Jackin' It In San Diego" is a parody on the very public, and very naked meltdown the creator of the KONY 2012 video. Don't wanna give any big spoilers, but you should look it up -- it will definitely make this song more enjoyable.
Monday, May 14, 2012 Was the "Butterballs" episode based off of Cypress Ranch's "Who Do U Think U R" Lip-Dub??: Ahhh yes, nice catch! The WHOLE episode wasn't based on that one video, it was written more about the big "bullying" and "social activism" trends in film, social media, and the news. But yes, definitely, Stan's anti-bullying video is a really awesome parody of that Cypress Ranch lip-dub. If you haven't seen it, look it up.
Monday, May 14, 2012 In "Butterballs", while the kids are making the movie, is that the Vamp Kids?!: Dude, that anti-bullying video probably is the most complete display of South Park Elementary kids ever. In addition to the Vamp Kids hanging out in the gym, look for cameos by: Mooey the Cow, Dog Poo, the Ginger Kids, Casey Miller (the smooth-voiced announcer kid from "Dances With Smurfs", 1313), the 6th Graders, the Goth Kids, Thad (from "Guitar Queer-o", 1113), Bridon (from "Elementary School Musical", 1213), Tweek, the Raisins Girls, Timmy, Filmore, and all the Kindergartners.

And believe me, there's more. Watch it a few times -- I guarantee you'll spot some classic characters you haven't seen in a long time!
Wednesday, May 2, 2012 In what episode does Butters sing Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now"? I've had the song stuck in my head for a week now and I keep thinking of the Butters version. Please help!: Butters actually sings that Chicago ditty in TWO separate episodes, so prepare for it to be stuck in your head double time. You can find it in "AWESOM-O" (802) and "Casa Bonita" (711), but I've saved you the trouble and included them both below. Just slide it up in your anus there...
Wednesday, May 2, 2012 What song was Kyle's cell phone melody on "Jewpacabra"?: That's Michael Sembello's 80s jam "Maniac", best known for it's foot-stompin' role in the movie "Flashdance". It's also a very appropriate ringtone for Cartman...
Wednesday, May 2, 2012 I know there was a squirrel wearing a top hat in "Cash for Gold," but was there another one at the end of "Jewpacabra"?: That little squirrel is really making his rounds through South Park this season! Yes indeed, that's the same squirrel from "Cash 4 Gold" hopping around in "Jewpacabra", complete with top hat and bow-tie.
Wednesday, May 2, 2012 In the "Jewpacabra" episode, when Kyle gets Cartman out of the forest and brings him home -- was that an homage to the end of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"? You know, where Lucy rescues Linus from the pumpkin patch on Halloween and puts him to bed?? I could tell right away, but nobody else I talked to picked up on it.: Dude, you have a great eye! And you are absolutely correct. That scene with Kyle putting Cartman to bed is a pretty awesome parody of that classic Charlie Brown Halloween special from the 60s. A lot of people missed that reference -- you definitely deserve a gold star for your fandom!
Wednesday, May 2, 2012 WAIT, SO IS CARTMAN JEWISH NOW?!: This has been the question of the week -- hell, this is probably the question of the decade. After 16 seasons of ripping on Kyle for being a Jew, Cartman survived the night of the Jewpacabra in what he called a "Passover Miracle." Apparently Cartman is now is a believer in Judiasm.

As for all the questions we've gotten: Is this permanent? Will he still rip on Kyle?? Is this for cereal?!?! We're all gonna have to just watch and see...
