5 Reasons Why Trey Parker And Matt Stone Are Awesome

The South Park creators are an interesting pair.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I really, really love 'South Park'. To a somewhat unhealthy extent.

But in my defense, the duo that created it, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are super cool. Here are a few of their shining moments.

1. They Wore Dresses to The Oscars

In 2000, the song 'Blame Canada' from the South Park movie was nominated for an Oscar. At the time, Parker didn't have a girlfriend, so he brought Stone as his plus-one. Stone joked that he should shave his legs and wear a dress and pretend to be an Eastern European model. This resulted in him and Parker dressing up like J-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow, respectively, as a middle finger to the Academy.

If that wasn't irreverent enough, they also went high on LSD, which somehow makes the whole event even more hilarious.

2. The Book of Mormon

Before there was Hamilton, there was 'The Book of Mormon'. Irreverent and hilarious, Parker and Stone's musical definitely contributes to their cool factor.

3. The South Park episode Britney's New Look

When Britney Spears went through her crisis in the mid 2000s, everyone and their mother was jumping on the opportunity to mock her. Except, oddly enough, Parker and Stone: deeming Spears herself too easy a target, the episode 'Britney's New Look' mocks society, pointing out that they're just as bad for wanting this girl to be a train-wreck, while simultaneously saying 'um, why the hell do you care?'

4. They're Still Really Involved in the Production of 'South Park'

In 2011, Comedy Central aired a documentary about the making of South Park. Unlike most other shows, the episodes are produced on a weekly basis-that is, they're made in the week leading up to their release. Not much has changed, and unlike other creators who lead their shows in the hands of new writing staffs when they hit the big time, Parker and Stone are still the head honchos of South Park.

5. They Don't Care What You Think

From SJWs to conservative moral guardians, Mormons to Scientologists, Michael Jackson to Barbra Streisand, Parker and Stone have mocked everyone. And they have no plans of stopping, so long as Comedy Central will allow them. Because the point of satire is to make people uncomfortable and to get them to think, and no one understands that better than them.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
