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

---

No, it just started happening

where we would do it in two weeks.

And then we would do it in...

"Oh, my God.

"We just did a show in ten days.

I can't believe... that was crazy."

And then it was like,

"oh, my God, seven days."

And then it was like, "oh,

my God, we just did it."

And then it just turned into,

like, we just do a show a week,

and it just kind of got there.

Technology got to the place

so we could do that too.

15 years ago,

we were using $30,000 desktop boxes

that were really specialized,

and even they were, like,

creeping slow compared to now.

We just have Macs off the shelf.

So basically,

the show can keep up with

as fast as we can go.

Time to kick off the road

to the 2011 Tony Awards,

Broadway's biggest

and brightest night.

The Book of Mormon leads

all shows this year

with 14 nominations.

- So happy for you, Trey.

- Yeah, it's good.

- Congratulations.

- It's good.

Celebrate by working all day.

Yay, fun.

I was thinking the chick

on the back could be Lady Gaga,

'cause then you could put her in,

like, a sweet costume.

She's the one to agreed

to it on purpose,

'cause this is her new...

It's her new lipstick.

Kirstie Alley.

That's pretty funny, right?

We're gonna make it

an actress, right?

Yeah, I was thinking of making

it some actress, like...

They've said " f*** you" to

every celebrity pretty much,

which they were doing

before the show too.

They would fart

on celebrities at parties,

and now they do it on the air,

and the celebrity smells it.

Mr. Cruise, you can't just

stay in the closet, all right?

You need to come out.

What's going on?

Tom Cruise won't come

out of the closet.

Paris Hilton is making an

appearance at the mall.

You know, at SNL, it's like,

"well, we might want

that person to host.

Do we want to pick on that person?"

Or, "that person is already

mad at us because of"...

You know what I mean?

There's all political reasons.

Get in there and see if

you can disarm the snuke

in Ms. Clinton's snatch.

All right, I'm nearing her snizz now.

What they want to do

in being funny is just,

like, that's it, you know.

Like, that's the priority.

That's like...They don't

worry about anything else.

Ah, my nipples, they hurt!

They hurt when I twist them.

Oprah's vagina has

killed a police officer

and taken several people hostage.

Ms. Lopez,

we're dropping you from the label.

Oh, no, you didn't.

Mostly, it's just 'cause

that's their personalities,

to be like,

"f*** everybody," 360 degrees.

Trey got nominated for Blame Canada,

and so I think I went

as your date, right?

So it was like, "well,

you can go with Trey's as a plus one,"

and he didn't have a

girlfriend at the time,

and he was like,

"you can go as my date."

And I was like, "oh, that's funny."

So then it was like,

"well, wouldn't it be funny

"if I shaved my legs and

dressed up in a fancy dress

"and tried to pass myself

off as some weird-looking,

"tall, European...

Eastern European model or something?"

We talked about, like,

big duck outfits,

and we're like, "well, if we go in

"with big duck costumes,

they're not gonna...

"Then they have a

reason to not let us in,

"but if we're wearing what

other people are wearing,

then they really can't say,

'you can't come in.'"

friend of ours had

sugar cubes with LSD.

That's so crazy now to think, like...

That's so nuts.

The whole idea...I mean,

even to just go,

"okay, you're gonna

go to the Oscars...

Take acid and go to the Oscars."

I'd be like, "no, dude,

I'm not doing that,

'cause I don't know what

I'm gonna end up doing."

That'd even be too scary.

They have all these

streets blocked off,

'cause you have to go

through the biggest limo line

in the world to get dropped off.

And it was like,

we finally got up to the front,

and we were both, I think,

going, "oh, sh*t."

If you've taken acid,

you know that one of

the trippiest parts

of when you're on any

psychedelics is transitioning,

when you go inside to

outside or outside to inside.

You know, like, that,

"oh, we're in a different space."

I will never forget the moment

getting out of the limo,

and there was, like,

and every camera in the

Western Hemisphere there,

and it was like, "let's go!"

Right now,

we're gonna go downstairs to...

Kind of simple and kind of elegant?

- I don't know.

- Doubt it.

Tell us.

Okay, talk about a fashion statement.

Now, two of you are nominated

for best song, Blame Canada.

- Matt's not.

- I'm not.

We said,

"we can't say anything about them."

- Nothing about the dresses.

- No matter what they ask us.

So everyone would go, "guys,

what about the dresses?

Why the dresses?"

And we'd go, "magical night tonight.

Just all the stars are out."

Is that why you're in the dress?

It's just such a magical evening,

and everyone...

It's just,

everyone looks so spectacular.

You know,

we just wanted to be a part of it all.

It's a night of magic.

Come on.

Only thing we could have

done a little bit better is,

we could have put powdered

sugar all over our noses.

Just to have been totally like,

"f*** you."

I also remember, actually,

then having to sit there

in the actual Oscars,

and you're coming down off the acid.

So you're simultaneously coming down,

and you're having to now

sit through the Oscars,

which suck.

There were people

there that were like,

"dude, this is my big night.

f*** you."

That was the funniest thing to us.

We're like, "really?

"Like, this is f***ing bullshit.

It's Hollywood.

Like, let's rock, you know?"

But we don't have

any friends anymore.

I wonder why.

I think that maybe

now what we should do

is fill in all of the blanks

we need...We have to fill in.

We are in danger of doing

our typical first show thing

where we've just got way

too many ingredients.

We haven't introduced the idea

of apps at all or anything,

and that's why whatever

this thing is at the end

is gonna have to be so fast.

I'm just worried about time.

You know what I mean?

And not one of our whole other ideas,

but, like,

one of the other character's storylines.

We just feel like the

Cartman being pissed off

about not getting his thing...

Like, him going home and

screaming at his mom, saying,

"you f*** me, 'cause now all the

kids think I have an iPad,

and I've got to show up

tomorrow with nothing."

"Because everyone

thinks I have an iPad.

"'Cause I told them

'cause I don't have one.

That's how f***ed you me."

"Cause you didn't get me one!"

She's like, "well,

we can get you something,

"but it's gonna be

your birthday present,

you know, for next month."

And he's like, "that's... okay."

Then they're at Best Buy,

and he's all happy.

And he goes over...

Okay, Wi-Fi Plus 3G, 64-gig.

This one! This one!

Oh, sweetie, $900?

And she's like, "well, no, Cartman.

Let's get these, 'cause"...

"Toshiba Handibook? F*** you, mom."

And he gets all...

"It's $200,

and I'm willing to get you one."
