I watched with great fascination the Comedy Central broadcast on Sunday night of how an episode of South Park was put together. What got to me was how they were able to write and create an episode right up until almost deadline time. As was pointed out in the show, when South Park first began in the 1990s, the technology didn't exist for producing an episode so quickly. Also what got to me was the struggle to come up with ideas. Well, GOOD NEWS for South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. They now have a potential South Park episode that practically writes itself. I will now put together a few possible scenes for an episode based on the OWS protests.
One hilarious incident occurred a few days ago at Occupy Atlanta when a bizarre cultlike groupchant ritual as you can see in this VIDEO was used to keep Congressman John Lewis from speaking to the group. With that video in mind, here is how I see the opening of the OSP episode:
The boys, Stan, Kyle, Butters, and Eric Cartman enter a fast food restaurant. They begin to walk up to the counter when they are cut off by a skinny guy with a red shirt who looks like the chant guy in the Occupy Atlanta video. The fast worker asks the guy for his order and the guy speaks into his megaphone:
"We believe..."
(A crowd of hippie types behind them repeat...)
"We believe..."
RED SHIRT GUY: That the eating of meat...
HIPPIE CROWD: That the eating of meat...
RED SHIRT GUY: May be morally reprehensible...
HIPPIE CROWD: May be morally reprehensible...
RED SHIRT GUY: Therefore we propose...
HIPPIE CROWD: Therefore we propose...
RED SHIRT GUY: That we put this item on our agenda for a vote...
HIPPIE CROWD: That we put this item on our agenda for a vote...
RED SHIRT GUY: Please signal our approval by wiggling our fingers...
HIPPIE CROWD (wiggling fingers): Please signal our approval by wiggling our fingers...
(The boys are watching this in stunned disbelief.)
STAN: What the hell...?!
KYLE: These people are cuckoo!
ERIC: Hurry up you idiots! I'm hungry!
RED SHIRT GUY: Should we place this item on the agenda now...
HIPPIE CROWD: Should we place this item on the agenda now...
RED SHIRT GUY: For a vote...
HIPPIE CROWD: For a vote...
RED SHIRT GUY: Or later after we have more input...
HIPPIE CROWD: Or later after we have more input...
(They all wiggle their fingers.)
STAN: Let's get the hell out of here!
KYLE: These idiots will be here forever trying to make up their minds.
(The boys leave the restaurant and later we see them walking by a park where there is a large crowd of demonstrators. The same Red Shirt Guy is on the megaphone again.)
RED SHIRT GUY: Please signal with wiggling fingers...
HIPPIE CROWD: Please signal with wiggling fingers...
RED SHIRT: Our approval of the occupation of South Park...
HIPPIE CROWD (wiggles fingers): Our approval of the occupation of South Park...
STAN: It's the same idiots that kept us from ordering at the restaurant.
KYLE: Who the hell are those people?
HIPPIE: We are here to occupy South Park.
STAN: Occupy South Park? Why?
HIPPIE: To like show our dislike of the system?
STAN: What system and what do you dislike about it?
HIPPIE: Well, like you know. Things just aren't fair.
KYLE: What isn't fair?
HIPPIE: It's not fair that some people have more stuff than others.
STAN: That's it? Is this why you want to Occupy South Park?
HIPPIE: Yeah, and we're not leaving until things are fair.
KYLE: How do you make things fair?
HIPPIE: I dunno but we're not leaving South Park.
ERIC: Oh crap! A bunch of weirdo hippies want to take over South Park!
(We see the inside of Stan's house. His father, Randy Marsh, is yelling at his wife, Sharon.)
RANDY: I'm really excited by Occupy South Park. Finally something is being done to make the system more fair.
SHARON: Oh Randy! Grow up! That group is nothing but a bunch of cultlike hippies who don't know what they want.
RANDY: Oh yeah? Well, I'm thinking about joining them.
(Randy looks out the window and gets a look of shock on his face.)
RANDY: Oh my God!!!
(Randy runs outside to a man with his pants down taking a dump on his car.)
RANDY: You're taking a crap on my car.
FECES MAN: Yup!
RANDY: Why?
FECES MAN: To show my disgust with the system.
(Suddenly we see the Red Shirt Guy on the megaphone and the Hippie Crowd.)
RED SHIRT GUY: We propose that the right to take a sh*t...
HIPPIE CROWD: We propose that the right to take a sh*t...
RED SHIRT GUY: On a car built by corporations...
HIPPIE CROWD: On a car built by corporations...
RED SHIRT GUY: Is an inalienable right.
HIPPIE CROWD: Is an inalienable right.
RED SHIRT GUY: Please signal our approval by wiggling our fingers...
HIPPIE CROWD (wiggling fingers): Please signal our approval by wiggling our fingers...
RED SHIRT GUY: ...and sh*tting on this car.
HIPPIE CROWD: ...and sh*tting on this car.
(They all pull down their pants and crap on Randy's car.)
(The scene is a meeting with the South Park mayor at a town hall. Randy is at the front yelling.)
RANDY: DAMMIT! We have to get rid of that group. They're crapping all over the place.
SCIENTIST: I've done some calculations and if the Occupy South Park crowd continues crapping in public at the current rate then South Park will be completely covered by sh*t in less than two weeks.
MAYOR: We have to get them out of town but we don't have any legal way to throw them out.
ERIC CARTMAN: Ahem! I think I have a way to drive them away from South Park.
MAYOR: How?
ERIC: I propose we fight sh*t with sh*t.
(The Red Shirt Guy is on his megaphone talking to a hippie crowd at a park. Suddenly we hear another voice on a megaphone. The Red Shirt Guy turns around and sees Eric Cartman on a ladder towering above him.)
ERIC (on megaphone): We propose...
SOUTH PARK CROWD: We propose...
ERIC: That we drive these spoiled hippies out of South Park forever...
SOUTH PARK CROWD: That we drive these spoiled hippies out of South Park forever...
ERIC: Please signal our approval by wiggling our fingers...
SOUTH PARK CROWD (wriggling our fingers): Please signal our approval by wiggling our fingers...
ERIC: ...And sh*tting on them...
SOUTH PARK CROWD: ...And sh*tting on them...
(Cartman drops his pants and takes a dump on the Red Shirt Guy who screams and runs away. The rest of the South Park crowd are also dumping on the hippies who run away in terror.)
(correction)
Mr Hankey! Of course!
“Mister HANKEY, the PROTEST POO,
He loves me and I love you,
Therefore by extension he loves youuuu....”
I'm open to suggestions. How?
I DVR’d it for later consumption.
LOL, this is great! I recently watched the hippy episode of South Park, and thought about the OWS numbnuts. You are right, this would be PERFECT for South Park, and I would be shocked if they are not now busy writing and creating. They could do a 2 or even 3 part story from all this.
It was like that Red Shirt guy at Occupy Atlanta was born solely in order to be satirized. He even looks like a cartoon caricature of himself. If South Park does do an episode like this I sure hope they keep the Red Shirt Guy looking like the real version.
Hey, you currently live in Georgia. Atlanta? Do you know anything about that Red Shirt Guy?
I do live in Hotlanta. I know zip about the friggin’ scarecrow, though.....
When I saw that whole thing, with the "kids" repeating every phrase like automotons, I really, totally believed for a moment that the video was a hoax, a farce by some Conservative film makers, it was that creepy/funny.

You’re saying he’s real???? OMG - thought he WAS a cartoon...
I second the comment of my ITP (Inside the Perimeter) FRiend Laz from my location just OTP. I really need to start lurking on atlanta indymedia and their IRC channel to do opposition research on these knuckleheads.
For general information, the GA 4th and 5th Congressional Districts, which are basically most of in-town ITP Atlanta, are heavily Dem, with a strong sprinkling of the seriously deranged far Leftist of the type exemplified by Mr. Redshirt. To the point where I’m a little surprised it wasn’t a Che shirt.
The OTP suburbs are generally heavily Republican. Think Larry McDonald, Newt Gingrich, John Linder, Tom Price, etc.
Anyway, I don’t mean to threadjack; you have a killer idea going here, I really hope Parker and Stone run with it this season.
“RED SHIRT GUY: On a car built by corporations...”
While they’re all wearing Nikes and Levis, talking and surfing the net on their iPhones, using their bank cards to get cash for lunch, etc.
There was a great comment on one of the YouTube videos that summed things up nicely:
“Over there”
“Over there”
“is a table”
“is a table”
“with cups on it”
“with cups on it”
“Please get in line”
“Please get in line”
“and take a cup”
“and take a cup”
“of kool-aid”
“of kool-aid”
“Please drink the kool-aid”
“Please drink the kool-aid”
Hey, there is an idea for one of the scenes in the episode to be made!
Ha-ha. It’s perfect, except your lines are too long. I don’t think the guy said anymore than five words at a time. Excruciating!
I flashed on the idea too - never seen anything that creepy that was real. Guess there has to be a first.
Odd how the 'press' misses liberals being hypocrites... I wonder how that happens. /s
Nice!
They did something like this when Mr. Hankey in a wizard costume summoned the poo from the sewers to drive the film festival people out of town....
I wonder if they have a Facebook etc.
