6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park Page #4

background design department,

and they'll all get a couple

of days or three days or so

to at least do their job.

Everybody in here does all that,

and in 1/10 of the time

of a normal studio.

Usually, Simpsons and Family Guy,

those shows take,

like eight to ten months,

and we're doing it,

you know, six days.

No one does an animated

show like this.

On Thursday, we get one scene.

We jam it through the

storyboard departments.

We get the boards drawn.

We get editorial to build

that initial animatic.

The guys will go in

and record that scene.

Trey's the quarterback.

We're kind of like

the offensive line.

If Trey all of a sudden wants

to do an homage to Heavy Metal,

the animated movie...

Appease the gods by lathering

her b*obs with soapy suds.

Okay.

We have to figure out how to do that.

If he wants to do guys

bouncing on their nut sack...

I'm stoned off my balls.

It's our job to figure

out how it works.

But it all starts and

ends with Trey and Matt.

So sorry, Kyle, but I am starving.

Which would you rather I eat?

Should I eat cuttlefish and asparagus

or the vanilla paste?

Cuttlefish and asparagus?

Very well. I will eat the cuttlefish.

- You gonna do eating sounds?

- Oh, yeah.

That cuttlefish and...

It's so funny. It's so stupid.

That cuttlefish and asparagus

is not sitting well.

Oh, no!

Cuttlefish...

Cuttlefish is about to

come out of my a**hole!

Oh, here it comes.

Oh, it's going to be a lot.

Hold on, Kyle. I believe in you!

It's just so funny that Matt and I

are in our 40s now,

and we're still...

Like, when that Japanese

guy shits in Kyle's mouth

and Kyle shits in the lady's mouth,

it makes us laugh so goddamn hard,

and I know it doesn't...

There's, like,

a lot of people out there

that don't laugh at that

sh*t as hard as we do.

But it's just so satisfying for me,

especially after going

from Book of Mormon

and all the...

You know, the Broadway and the accolades

and all this, like... you know,

and it was great.

I'm super proud of that,

but it's just so funny

to come back here and

just do a Japanese guy

shitting in Kyle's mouth,

'cause it just...

it's just back to our roots,

you know?

Hold on, Kyle! I believe in you!

Yeah, just keep him kind

of moving and shaking.

So he's like, "Oh, God.

It's gonna be a lot.

Here it comes! Hold on, Kyle!

I believe in you!"

Even though we're a partnership...

And I really do feel that way,

that we each bring kind of,

like, something different

to the table, and it's why it's

made us survive and stuff...

The way that the stories,

either in South Park or the movies,

are expressed is

completely through Trey.

Like, Trey's the chef.
