Supposedly, this is part one (part two after the jump) of a 1995 corporate training video made by pre-South Park Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Universal comissioned the video, so the story goes, after the studio was bought by Seagram’s and wanted to reassure people that, despite their new ownership, they would remain artist friendly.
The story sounds fishy to me, because in 1995, I don’t know what the studio would’ve had to go on besides Cannibal the Musical and an animated short Parker and Stone made in college – both of which would’ve been clues that Universal would get what they supposedly got: a really funny video they couldn’t use. Then again, movie studio execs are notoriously stupid.
Anyway, regardless of the real story behind it, it has cameos from Sly Stallone, Michael J. Fox, Brian Grazer, Demi Moore, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Angela Lansbury and your mom. Ha, just kidding about that last one. Unless your mom is Angela Lansbury.

I fucking loved Baseketball, Team America, and South Park is great. That being said, Speilberg’s Jewhi Curl made me stop watching this. Some people just aren’t funny. Like me.
I can’t even spell Spielberhg’s name right when it’s given to me in the text. Shit! Did it again….
Yeah, ummm . . . I second the shenanigans call. Why the fuck would they have hired these two fucks back in ’95? They probably wouldn’t even hire them now.
Corporate America!
Fuck yeah!
Regardless of when it was made, that was pretty good.
You know, it’s always nice to see Hollywood types poke fun at themselves, but I can’t help thinking about how as soon as they yell cut, the star in question will be attended by a NASCAR-like pit crew of sycophants with platters of coelacanth cavier, mink-sperm hair conditioner, and bottled water made from Icelandic baby tears.
Rot-you reminded Him of two separate conversations He had with Byron from the Subway Story.
Convo #1-Byron: "I hear semen makes good hair conditioner!"
Convo #2-Byron: "I like to use shampoo instead of soap when I jack off in the shower."
Dor sho gha!
No shenanigans. It’s a real deal. Cannibal was finished around ’93. Unkie Lloyd at Troma didn’t acquire and release it until ’95 after it made a buzz for getting turned down for showing at Sundance – which gave birth to Slamdance where it made major buzz – or so the story goes. The Spirit of Christmas we know (with Jesus and Santa) was a Christmas card made for a studio exec to send around and was actually a remake sequel to a student film made in ’92/’93 by Trey and Matt that had Jesus and Frosty going at it. At the time they had a pilot pitch set up at Fox and we’re known around town for crashing Hollywood parties and farting on celebrities (no, not kidding), so their skewed sense of humor was known amongst several circles before the masses even heard of them thanks to SoC/South Park and the Internets. Anyway, this has been floating around for a while and it’s real.
Chimp, I hope you just looked all that up. I don’t think it’s healthy to have that much knowledge about Parker and Stone just free-running around inside your head all the time.
Alrighty then, thanks for killing all of my fun for the day. Fucker. You and your facts and your knowledge.
I once had to be committed for a week because I couldn’t stop talking about the writers from Step By Step.
Luch, what’s your obsession with William Bickley and Michael Warren?
I’m a child of the 90′s ERSWI. Thomas L. Miller, Robert L. Boyett, William Bickley and Michael Warren, Michael Jacobs etc. Oh, the good ol’ days.
Can’t watch it right now – does Spielberg say ‘Pig Fucker’ in front of Jesus?
Traci Lords: "I feel uncomfortable and unwelcome….oops, sorry, I forgot to remove my vintage Pear of Anguish from my scene in the A&E series on the middle ages. My bad."
Not directly Stone, but I can see it in his eyes, and in my heart.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Parker and Stone, but sometimes they’re like a vegetarian friend. They may be right about what they’re calling stupid, but sometimes you just want to eat a goddamned buffalo burger without all the fucking hassle.
By the way Fek, I agree with Byron about the hair conditioner thing. I emphatically make the same point every time the police forcibly remove me from Jonathan’s Beverly Hills Salon.
I agree Donkey, but this week’s episode gave us the world’s greatest way to explain away random deposits of sperm: ectoplasm. I can’t believe I never thought of that.
Stone, somehow you put
"Pig Fucker….robots in disguise"
in my head. How on earth did you do that? Teach me.
DON’T TALK SHIT ABOUT
TOTALTRACI LORDS!Rot I bet Jonathan would love some of your bitchin’ sperm for his truly bitchin’ hair.
New up, forshak-hut dwellers!
My neighbor used to have ceramic deer in his front yard until he found me trying to fuck one. now he has a wheelbarrow.
Sadly it’s running around in my head. I’m just a big cartoon geek with a connection to Troma back at that time, so I know way too many things about way too little items of real importance.
space monkey
Yeah, this is real. I saw this about 5 years or more ago. I don’t think it was made in 1995 though.
"We’ve also acquired Director, John Singleton."
I’m assuming slavery is back, yes?
"Say, what does that mean, ‘Parkisons’?"
PEOPLE OF FARK: They just switched over the servers here yesterday, so if the site’s a little slow or glitchy and the banner ads really suck today and that bothers you, well . . . HAHDEN THE FUCK UP!
Hey isn’t that actually them at 6:08 in the second video?
Wait a second. This looks familiar. Can’t quite put my finger on it. Oh! Thats right! I saw this thread when I came home for lunch! New Up Y’ingtags!
Yep. It rocks to be a Lansbury!
I call shenanigans. It was definitely not made in 1995. There’s a shot of the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios. According to the source of all knowledge in the universe (Wikipedia), that ride didn’t open until June 1996.
For those shenanigan callers:
I don’t know but I’m convinced, only due to the fact that Demi Moore still looks kinda young and Michael J. Fox is just barley starting to shake.
Upon split second reflection, the Jurassic Park ride is under constrution, placing the footage firmly in the right time frame. I’m convinced it’s legit.
Totally real. I used to work on the backlot of Universal in Orlando and got a copy on VHS back in ’96.
Damn, this ended up on gorillamask too? Ignore the question mark. Nothing to see here. Except for what I tipped. Which was a measely 2% of a $20. My bill was $46.32, so figure out what percent I actually paid.
I just watched this for the second time. I noticed that Ben Stiller is actually in the scene with speilberg at the jaws ride. Hardly recognized him. Barely featured. He was still Jerry Stillers Kid back then.
C’mon Nom. ’92, The Ben Stiller show? I was 10 and I still recall.
Yeah, II didn’t even hear aboot that show til I was alot older, so I never saw it. Also, I just enjoy demeaning anybody’s accomplishments who aren’t me. I mean, lets face it, you suck if you aren’t me.
