I wonder if they changed the ending over the last couple days.
I thought that initially, but then I thought about the episode a little more and I think that they might have written it all along for Saadam to be behind the curtain.
Think about the things the Canadian PM bans: he makes the Mounties ride sheep (3rd most popular animal in Arab countries-- after camel and goat). He bans the French from drinking wine (Islamic prohibition on alcohol). He bans the Newfoundenler from sodomy (Islam HATES gays).
Or maybe the writers were on acid when they wrote it, and I'm just reading into it too deeply.

Does anyone have any idea how they turned this show around so quickly? Apparently the technology they use to make the show allows a turnaround time of something like 4 days per episode. I assume a rewrite of the ending would take considerably less.

Finally saw it out here in McDermott-land. This one was a masterpiece. I can hardly type - I'm still laughing. "Ding dong, they caught Saddam..." A month from now it'll still be funny but it won't be obvious that it was turned around in two days. Astounding.

It was one of the best episodes I've ever seen. Hilarious!
I wonder how they managed to include the reference in such a short time...

>And Scott WAS a d**k. ;-)
The exchange between Canadians and Scott I found hilarious. Scott would rant and rave about why he hates Americans. Their response: "You're a
d@#k, Scott." That was a the sum of the exchange on two occasions. No discussion of the merits of the arguments. Readers of this post may wonder why this was funny- I suppose you just have to watch it. Maybe it's because Scott was a such a random character.

This was the funniest South park I have ever seen, the funniest cartoon I have ever seen, better than any Simpson's or Family Guy, and one of the funniest shows I have ever seen!
Unbelievable!
"Don't hurt me! I'm willing to negotiate!
And at the end, they have a parade showing Saddam (using the picture of him, disheveled and unshaven)strapped to a chair on a Christmas float, as the choir sings, (to the tune of "Ding dong the witch is dead") "Ding dong, they caught Saddam, Merry Christmas to the world! Ding dong the Americans caught Saddam! And now Canada's free, free for you and for me, it's the best Christmas present we ever got!"
Trey should win an OSCAR for this one!

They used the footage of Saddam in the cave, inshaven and disheveled, so they hadn't done it before.

Puns within puns within puns.
Wonder if Scott the d**k was a riff on Scott Ritter?

"Don't shoot! I want to negotiate!" Sure, we'll negotiate. You b*st*rd! You killed Kenny!
To: LisaMalia
It was great! I just said"YES!" when they pulled the curtain and Bad Santa Sadam was behind the curtain. I also liked it when they had him strapped to the front of a float.
To: Billthedrill; CounterCounterCulture
This one was a masterpiece. "Canada's only got one road, eh."
Dang! I was laughing so hard that I missed the "Ding dong, they caught Saddam..." chant, though I saw them wheeling him by on the Christmas float.
To: an amused spectator
It absolutely amazes me that this animation can be produced so quickly.................
It was a great episode.

They really used recent current events for this one. Matt and Trey are geniuses in my book.

It's funny that they hate gays but secretly indulge in homosexual behavior.
