the first 15 seconds of this clip had me laughing out loud, litterally:
i wonder how many english-speaking viewers heard “australians” the first time they saw it…
tag archives: south park
my friend armin mentioned yesterday that the german terrorists in the latest south park episode, “super fun time”, reminded him a lot of the ones from the 1988 movie “die hard”.
turns out he was right:
for comparison, here’s an image from “die hard”:
in “die hard”, the name of the villains’ leader is hans gruber (played by alan rickman) – in this southpark episode, his name is franz. i guess that’s about as close as they could get without risking a lawsuit?
by the way: in the german version of “die hard” (titled “stirb langsam”), the names of the terrorists had to be changed into english ones – hans, karl, heinrich, were changed to jack, charlie and henry.
update: note how the woman’s face is obscured by hans gruber in both images.
have you ever wondered what the internet looks like?
have you heard other people say things like “the internet doesn’t work” or “we now have the internet at home”?
imho, the funniest part of this scene from south park is the reference to “close encounter of the third kind”:

i think, as an austrian i find these references to german-speaking folk especially funny…

this is just too funny!
here’s a short part of an interview by msnbc:
- AP: Cartman once described independent movies as “gay cowboys eating pudding.” Now we have “Brokeback Mountain”, an upcoming movie by Ang Lee about gay cowboys.
Stone: If they have pudding in that movie, I’m going to lose my mind.
Parker: No, if there’s pudding eating in there, we’re going to sue.
the quote is from southpark, episode 02×09, which aired more than 5,5 years ago!!!
and now, brokeback mountain is nominated for 8 oscars and so far has received 51 awards!
i even found a short sound clip – listen to it here.
(since i’m on that topic now, be sure to listen to this one as well; and here‘s the complete listing of sound clips…)
