A perfect pairing of sound & vision - Southpark The Movie


"That's U-N-C-L-E FUCK YOU uncle fucker!!!"

Without a doubt one of the most profane moments of musical brilliance ever seen in a cinema.

The Terrence and Phillip film has come to South Park, Colorado. Our heroes have hired a hobo to get them into an R-rated film and they're buzzing with excitement.

Their little minds are blown.

 

Everyone gags at Southpark's toilet humour and it's tasteless jokes but Southpark: The Movie was a subversive little joy that took aim at the multitude of hypocrisies America is built on. The scene above has school children swearing up a storm and instantly America becomes so offended by profanity that it declares war on Canada, the country the film is from because apparently, swearing is evil. But war is good. It's just one of many, many digs at the country that has somehow become the vanguard of the free world. A place where you can watch America drone bomb a wedding on the news but if someone says fuck on the same news channel they face a massive fine. 

There's something broken there. And the fact that a 2 minute song can brilliantly lampoon this bizarre stance on offensiveness is just stunning. The fact that the song is a genuinely well put together musical creation is the icing on the cake.
