South Park is an American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and developed by Brian Graden for the Comedy Centraltelevision network. The show revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town. Much like The Simpsons, South Park uses a very large ensemble cast of recurring characters and became infamous for its profanity and dark, surreal humor that satirizes a wide range of topics towards a mature audience.

The pilot episode was produced using cutout animation, leading to all subsequent episodes being produced with computer animation that emulated the cutout technique. Parker and Stone perform most of the voice acting for the show's male characters. Since 2000, each episode has typically been written and produced in the week preceding its broadcast, with Parker serving as the primary writer and director. There have been a total of 328 episodes over the course of the show's 26 seasons.

In June 1999, less than two years after the series first aired, a feature-length film was released domestically by Paramount Pictures, with Warner Bros. handling international distribution. The film, a musical comedy, was directed by Parker, who co-wrote the script with Stone and Pam Brady. The film was generally well receiv

Even if you’re only a casual South Park fan, it’s evident that Matt Stone and Trey Parker are total movie nerds. And the more you familiarize yourself with the series, you’ll begin to realize how many iconic movie references (as well as some obscure ones) are peppered throughout the show’s 26-season run. Conversely, if you’re a diehard South Park fan, but aren’t big on movies, you may be surprised how many movie references flew over your head.

Not only do Stone and Parker pay proper homage to some of their favorite films in South Park, they do so in a way that doesn’t require you to be familiar with the source material.

In other words, you don’t necessarily need to know every single movie reference that’s made in South Park to enjoy an episode, but when you are able to connect the dots, you’re able to enjoy it on a whole other level. And that’s the purpose of this list: to enhance your enjoyment of South Park by pointing out 25 movie references that you may have missed.

Season 2, Episode 15: “Spookyfish” (Pet Sematary)

“Spookyfish” is the first of many instances in which South Park lampoons the original cinematic adaptation of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary. Though we’re not introduced to the old farmer character based on Fred Gwynne’s portrayal of Jud Crandall that we see periodically throughout the entire run of South Park at this point in time, it’s clear that Matt Stone and Trey Parker utilize the concept of an ancient burial ground as inspiration.

In “Spookyfish,” Stan is being tormented by the titular goldfish that is somehow killing a number of people in his bedroom while he’s sleeping. Meanwhile, the boys learn that a wormhole to an alternate dimension can be accessed through the “Ancient Indian Burial Ground Pet Store,” after the owne

6th episode of the 18th season of South Park

"Freemium Isn't Free" is the sixth episode in the eighteenth season of the American animated television series South Park. The 253rd episode overall, it was written and directed by series co-creator and co-star Trey Parker. The episode premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on November 5, 2014. The episode lampoons the popularity of freemium mobile apps made by other adult animated series such as The Simpsons: Tapped Out and Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff. The episode links addiction to freemium games to other addictions, including alcoholism and gambling addiction, and their possible genetic predisposition. The episode was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Plot

Jimmy runs into Kyle at school and tells him about the newest game, a mobile app (which closely resembles games such as The Simpsons Tapped Out and Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff) based on Terrance and Phillip, and encourages Kyle to download it, since it is free. As Kyle plays, he discovers that the game offers freemium upgrades. In Canada, the Prince of Canada and the Minister of Mobile Gaming are amazed at the profits they are getting, when Terrance and Phillip enter, angry that their likenesses have been used to make a game without consulting them and how it is not free, since it charges premiums. The Prince and Minister disclose they have purposefully created a boring game based on the concept of mobile RPGs, and that everyone is doing it.

Randy and Sharon Marsh yell at Stan for spending $489 on the app. Randy worries that Stan may have inherited a gambling problem due to Grampa Marvin Marsh having compulsive gambling issues, as Sharon accuses Randy of having his own compulsive issues with alcohol. Terrance and Phillip begrudgingly accept that since everyone is making boring games and getting
