Modèle:Infobox Television Modèle:Infobox TV ratings South Park is an Emmy Award-winning, animated American television comedy series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for Comedy Central. The show is set in the town of South Park, Colorado. The series was created and is written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and has been distributed and aired by Comedy Central since 1997. The show is well-known for its pop-culture parody, scatological humour, and satirical handling of current events.

Origins

Main article: The Spirit of Christmas

South Park began around 1992 when Trey Parker and Matt Stone, at the time students at the University of Colorado, met in a film class and created an animated short called Jesus vs. Frosty. The low-budget crudely made film featured prototypes of the main characters of South Park, including a character resembling Cartman but named "Kenny", an unnamed character resembling what is today Kenny, and two near-identical unnamed characters who would resemble Stan and Kyle.<ref name="began">South Park Studios - Behind the Scenes - How It All Began</ref>

In 1995, FOX executive Brian Graden saw the film, and commissioned Parker and Stone to create a second short film that he could send to his friends as a video Christmas card. Titled Jesus vs. Santa, it resembled the style of the later series more closely, and featured a martial arts duel and subsequent truce between Jesus and Santa Claus over the true meaning of Christmas. This video was later featured in the episode "A Very Crappy Christmas" in which Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Mr. Hankey "save" Christmas for the town. The video was popular and was widely shared, both by duplication and over the Internet. This led to talks to create a series, first with FOX, then with Comedy Central, where the series debuted on August 13, 1997. During the first four seasons of South Park, clips of the shorts can be seen in the opening sequence within an old television and a billboard. South Park has been translated into many different languages.

History

South Park's early episodes tended to be shock value-oriented and featured more Pythonesque humor than later episodes. Although satire had been used on the show occasionally earlier on, it became more prevalent in later episodes. Episodes have parodied Michael Jackson ("The Jeffersons"), Paris Hilton ("Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset"), and The Passion of the Christ ("The Passion of the Jew"), as well as addressed serious political issues such as terrorism ("Cartoon Wars"), American immigration policy ("Goobacks"), Gay Marriage ("Follow that Egg"), and the Terri Schiavo case ("Best Friends Forever").

The pilot episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" (nearly identical to the first official episode, which has the same name), required three months to produce using construction paper and traditional cut-out animation techniques. However, the version that aired was different from the original version. Current episodes duplicate the original, amateurish look using modern computer animation tools — first PowerAnimator and then Maya, which Parker and Stone described as "building a sandcastle with a bulldozer". This allows for a shorter production schedule, enabling the creators to respond quickly to current events. The December 17, 2003 episode "It's Christmas in Canada" depicted the capture of Saddam Hussein a mere three days after the actual event, even referring to the "spider hole" in which he was found. In this instance - as with the Elián González episode ("Quintuplets 2000") - the creators changed the production of an episode at the last minute to focus on the new world event.

The disclaimer that begins every episode.

In 2002, the episode "Free Hat" aired. In this episode - inspired by Kyle's comment on Ted Koppel's Nightline that changing E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial would be like changing Raiders of the Lost Ark - a fictional George Lucas and Steven Spielberg decide to alter the first Indiana Jones film. Soon after the episode aired, Lucas and Spielberg announced that contrary to rumors they would not be altering Raiders of the Lost Ark for DVD release. Parker and Stone jokingly suggested that the episode prevented any alterations from happening.^{[citation needed]}

On August 26, 2007, Parker and Stone committed to three more seasons of South Park, so the show will run until at least 2011.<ref name=NYtimes>http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/27/business/media/27south.html?_r=1&oref=slogin</ref> They will continue to write, direct, and edit every episode of the show, bringing the series total to 223 episodes by the end of its fifteenth season. <ref>http://www.animationmagazine.net/article.php?article_id=4447</ref>

Edited versions of South Park episodes, with the TV-14 rating, began broadcasting in syndication on September 19, 2005 on various local channels around the U.S.<ref> Rudolph , Ileane

In late 2007 Comedy Central made the announcement that it will be providing full South Park episodes online for free. Commentators on a media website suggest it is an effort to fight back against pirated versions of the show that have been made available online, and also to increase advertising revenue. <ref>

Characters

The boys dressed for Halloween in the episode "Pinkeye". From left to right: Eric Cartman (as Adolf Hitler), Kyle Broflovski (as Chewbacca), Stan Marsh (as Raggedy Andy) and Kenny McCormick (literally a zombie).

Prior to season four, the main characters of the show were four third grade students (often called "the boys" when as a group for easier reference): Stanley "Stan" Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Theodore Cartman, and Kenneth "Kenny" McCormick. There are many recurring characters on the show, including the boys' families, school staff, and other students. These include Leopold "Butters" Stotch, Chef, Mr. Hankey, Towelie, Jesus, and Satan. There are also many other minor characters.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker voice most of the male South Park characters, while April Stewart and Mona Marshall (formerly Mary Kay Bergman and Eliza Schneider) voice most of the female characters such as Wendy Testaburger and Sheila Broflovski. Other voices are currently provided by Adrien Beard (Token Black), Vernon Chatman (Towelie), Jennifer Howell (Bebe Stevens), and John Hansen (Mr. Slave). Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski were initially designed to represent creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone respectively; however, both have admitted to ultimately identifying far more with Cartman.<ref> "Goin' Down to South Park" documentary featured on the South Park Season 2 Boxset</ref>

Animation

South Park’s success can be attributed in part to its crude, cutout animation style.Modèle:Who Construction paper cutouts were used in the original pilot animation and in the first episode made for Comedy Central. Subsequent episodes have been produced by computer animation providing the same look as the originals. The appearance of characters and scenes has become less crude over time, largely in order to enhance the comedic effect. Special effects, such as prepackaged explosions, have replaced cardboard-style fires. Light shading has been used to highlight "sappy," movie-like moments as well as some of Cartman’s dramatic poses. Some episodes, such as Tweek vs. Craig and Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina, have even incorporated sections of live action video. CorelDRAW is used to create the characters, which are animated using Maya, or in early episodes, PowerAnimator. The style of animation used for South Park was inspired by the paper cut-out cartoons made by Terry Gilliam for Monty Python's Flying Circus, of which Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been lifelong fans.<ref> South Park Studios FAQ, April 2001

Music

The show's original theme song was a musical score performed by the band Primus. The song has been remixed three times during the course of the series (as of season ten), and certain lines have been altered (see below). In the beginning of season 10 the title music was changed to the song "Whamola", performed by The Les Claypool Frog Brigade, from the album Purple Onion. (Les Claypool is the singer and bassist in both Primus and the Frog Brigade)

Kenny's lines in the song, like the rest of his speech in the show, are muffled by his parka hood, which covers his entire face except for his eyes. However, Kenny's lines have been revealed by South Park Studios. In seasons 1-2, he says "I love girls with big fat titties, I love girls with deep vaginas." <ref name="faq1"> South Park Studios FAQ, September 2001

. Retrieved on 2006-12-04. </ref> From seasons 3-5 he says "I have got a 10-inch penis, use your mouth if you want to clean it." <ref name="faq1" /> In season 6, Kenny had been written out of the show, having supposedly permanently died; in his absence, Timmy, who has a cognitive disability (early in the show Timmy was originally described as being "mentally retarded"<ref>http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Timmy</ref>), takes his place, singing "Timmy Timmy, Timmy Timmy, Timmy Timmy, Livin'a lie Timmy!" After returning to the show just before season 7, Kenny also returned to the theme song: From season 7 to the first half of season 10, Kenny says "Some day I'll be old enough to stick my dick in Britney's butt." <ref> South Park Studios FAQ, December 2003

. Retrieved on 2006-12-04. </ref> Starting with the second half of Season 10, Kenny's lines changed again; however, the current lines are not known. In the original unaired pilot episode of Cartman Gets An Anal Probe, in the rather different version of the opening, Kenny's lines are the same as they were in the first 2 seasons.

The general unintelligibility of Kenny's lines has helped them avoid being censored by television networks on a number of occasions, but sometimes words can be heard. The gist can usually be understood. It is sometimes easy to comprehend the lines, given the context in which they are delivered and their intonation. The syndicated versions of the show usually do censor Kenny's vulgar lines.^{[citation needed]}

Popular songs such as "Kyle's Mom is a Big Fat Bitch" originated on the show, but the creators' musical abilities were not frequently used until the release of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. The film's soundtrack (co-written and produced by Grammy Award-winning composer-lyricist Marc Shaiman) featured songs like "Blame Canada" (nominated for an Oscar; see below), "I'm Super," "La Resistance Medley," "Hell Isn't Good," "Mountain Town," "Uncle Fucka" (won an MTV Movie Award for "Best Musical Performance"), "Up There," and "What Would Brian Boitano Do?." Several of the songs from the movie are satires of tunes from Disney cartoons. For instance, "Mountain Town" is highly similar to the song "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast. "Up There" is a take-off of two different Disney songs, "Out There" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid. "La Resistance Medley" spoofs both "One Day More" from the stage musical Les Miserables and "Tonight" from West Side Story.

Parker and Stone have, on occasion, performed these songs (and others) under the band name DVDA.

In the show, Eric Cartman will often burst into song to convey a false altruism or optimism that belies his baser motivations. In Red Sleigh Down, he sings Poo-Choo Train, an unnervingly cheery Christmas carol, in an obvious attempt to convince Mr. Hankey and Santa Claus that he is worthy of Christmas presents. In "I'm a Little Bit Country" Cartman sings Paula Cole's song "I Don't Want to Wait" while beating someone to death (Cartman also sings the song as an homage to his Dawson's Creek Trapper Keeper in the episode Trapper Keeper). In "The Death of Eric Cartman", Cartman sings "Make It Right" with Butters in a weak attempt to reconcile his sins. In "Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods", Cartman sings the Donna Summer song "She Works Hard For The Money" during an audition for Cheesy Poofs. In the episode "Ginger Kids", he sings a song about tolerance once he realizes he's not one of the "Gingers" and that he just convinced every Ginger in town to exterminate non-Ginger people. Cartman also uses the song "Heat of the Moment" in episode 513 ("Kenny Dies") to convince the U.S. Senate to approve stem cell research. Cartman has a mental quirk that forces him to finish singing Styx's Come Sail Away whenever someone sings a few bars of the song. As soon as he learns this, Kyle, who has a strong and explicit hatred for Cartman, takes advantage of this and forces Cartman to finish the song so many times that Cartman becomes literally unintelligible. In episode 409 "Something You Can Do with Your Finger", the boys made their boy band, "Fingerbang".

Cartman was also the lead singer for "Faith + 1", a Christian band he formed with Butters and Token in the episode "Christian Rock Hard". He creates several "Christian" songs by taking sexually suggestive love songs and substituting romantic words such as "baby" and "darling" with "Jesus"; instead of the traditional "Christian Rock" lyrics singing about spiritual love for Jesus, Cartman sings about his desire to have actual, physical sex with Jesus. A few titles of these songs include "Body of Christ" and "Get Down on my Knees and Start Pleasing Jesus"

The band Korn appears in one of the Halloween episodes, where South Park is plagued by pirate ghosts. It is the band's job to "solve the mystery" (this of course is a spoof of Scooby Doo). In the episodes climax, Korn plays "Falling Away from Me" in celebration of the solved mystery.

In "Fat Butt and Pancake Head", Cartman's hand puppet "Jennifer Lopez" (who pronounces her name as "Hennifer Lopez") recorded a hit single entitled "Taco Flavored Kisses", inciting the wrath of the "real" Jennifer Lopez character.

Additional musical contributions to the show come from the band Primus, which performed the original opening and ending themes for the show, and formerly from Isaac Hayes, who voiced Chef's singing of usually-sexual songs to explain certain adult themes to the boys. The Chef song Chocolate Salty Balls was released as a single in the UK in 1998 to support the Chef Aid album and became a number one hit[1]. Many episodes also feature highly melodramatic musical scores to comically exaggerate the emotional content of the scene. For example, melancholy music plays in the background when Timmy sends away his beloved pet turkey, Gobbles, in the episode "Helen Keller! The Musical".

Controversies

Main article: South Park controversies

Image:South Park Xenu.jpg

Xenu in the episode "Trapped in the Closet"

The show has faced numerous controversies. It often uses what many people find to be taboo subject matter, from its use of vulgarity ("It Hits the Fan") to its satire of subjects such as religion and cults (such as "Trapped in the Closet"), sexuality ("Proper Condom Use"), tolerance ("The Death Camp of Tolerance"), and natural disaster hysteria ("Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow"). Stone and Parker are self-described "equal opportunity offenders" and episodes often lampoon all sides of a contentious issue, rather than taking a concrete position.^{[citation needed]}

The show's provocative material quickly drew protest from various spokesmen, who deemed the program offensive.^{[citation needed]} American conservative media watchdog group Parents Television Council has frequently criticized South Park for its content.^{[citation needed]}

The show also frequently uses vulgarities. For example, in the episode "It Hits the Fan", the word shit was said a total of 162 times uncensored. A counter at the bottom of the screen recorded the number of times the expletive was spoken. Also, in the episode entitled "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson", the racial slur nigger was used throughout the entire episode for a total of 42 times.

In 2005, the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights protested the season finale episode, "Bloody Mary", for its depiction of a statue of the Virgin Mary bleeding from her vagina.^{[citation needed]} The group claimed a victory when Comedy Central voluntarily canceled a scheduled airing of the episode which coincided with the Christian holiday season. In early 2006, Comedy Central denied that they were honoring the group's request to pull the episode from future repeats and DVD releases.<ref>Hall, Sarah. "South Park" Parked by Complaints? - E!: December 29, 2005.</ref> Comedy Central has since run the episode more than once.

{{#tag:ImageMap| Image:Wikinews-logo.svg|50px|n: default n: desc none}}

Wikinews propose des actualités concernant « Isaac Hayes quits South Park over Scientology episode ».

South Park has parodied Scientology in several episodes. Most of them, however, never mention Scientology by name, although they are obviously meant to parody it. The episode that caused the most controversy was "Trapped in the Closet", which caused what the media dubbed 'Closetgate'. The episode poked fun at the religion and its celebrity followers, including Tom Cruise. After Comedy Central pulled the episode from a scheduled repeat at the last minute, it was alleged that Cruise threatened Paramount with withdrawal from promotion of his latest film if the episode was re-broadcast (both Paramount and Comedy Central are owned by Viacom).^{[citation needed]} This situation led to Isaac Hayes, who played Chef and is a Scientologist himself, to quit unexpectedly days before the spoof on Scientology was to re-air.^{[citation needed]}

One of the most noteworthy political episodes was the two-parter "Cartoon Wars". This episode was a critique of the West's response to Muslim rioting over Danish political cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad.^{[citation needed]} South Park suggested that the cartoons were not reprinted (as is routinely done in Western media outlets), not out of respect for any group, but due to fear of violent retaliation. Ironically, Comedy Central censored the Cartoon Wars scene that was to include Muhammad, despite having previously allowed Muhammad's appearance as a superhero in the episode "Super Best Friends". When their protest was overruled, the creators inserted a black screen that said "Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of Muhammad on their network." Parker and Stone ironically closed the episode with a scene depicting Jesus defecating on President George Bush and the American flag (as the extremists' "revenge").

Main article: South Park themes

Apart from the continuously "vulgar" presentation of issues, South Park implements several recurring themes that it frequently uses, including current events, disabilities, political issues, racism, gay rights, death, environment, censorship, political correctness, abortion, sex, and religion, many of which are widely viewed as controversial.

Awards

South Park has been nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program seven times (1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007). The show has now won twice, for the 2005 episode "Best Friends Forever"<ref name="basile2">http://animatedtv.about.com/cs/news/a/awards_2.htm</ref> and the 2006 episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft".<ref>[2]</ref>
On April 5, 2006, it was announced that the show had won a Peabody Award.<ref name="basile2"/>
In 2007, Time magazine included the show on their list of the "100 Best TV Shows of All Time." <ref>http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1651341_1659196_1652729,00.html</ref>
South Park was nominated for important awards such as the 1998 Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Primetime or Late Night Television Program. It was also nominated for the 1998 GLAAD Award for Outstanding TV - Individual Episode for "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride". It also received an Image Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Isaac Hayes) in 1999. <ref name="imdbawardspage">IMDB full list of awards won by "South Park"</ref>
South Park was nominated for a 2006 Teen Choice Award for "Best Animated Show", but lost to Family Guy.<ref>http://www.imdb.com/Sections/Awards/Teen_Choice_Awards/2006</ref>
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was nominated for an Oscar for "Best Music, Original Song" for "Blame Canada". They lost to Phil Collins and made fun of him in two consecutive episodes in season 4 ("Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000" & "Timmy 2000"). Creator Trey Parker explained the reasoning for these barbs in the season 4 DVD commentary, saying "we were fully expecting to lose, just not to Phil Collins". "Blame Canada" was performed by Robin Williams during the televised award show, which was the first to carry a TV-14 parental advisory, in part because of the performance of that song, which contains some adult language.
Another track from the movie, "Uncle Fucka", won an MTV Movie Award for Best Musical Performance; Trey Parker and Matt Stone accepted the award, and thanked the audience for "not nominating Phil Collins".
South Park is the last actively-running television series that has won a CableACE Award. It won the award for Best Animated Series in 1997, the last year the awards were given out.<ref>Basile, Nancy. South Park Awards. About.com. Last accessed August 15, 2007.</ref>

+''South Park'' began around [[1992]] when Trey Parker and Matt Stone, at the time students at the [[University of Colorado at Boulder|University of Colorado]], met in a film class and created an [[short subject|animated short]] called ''[[The Spirit of Christmas#Jesus vs. Frosty|Jesus vs. Frosty]]''.

-==Diffusion==
+In [[1995]], [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX]] executive [[Brian Graden]] saw the film, and commissioned Parker and Stone to create a second short film that he could send to his friends as a video [[Christmas card]]. Titled [[The Spirit of Christmas#Jesus vs. Santa|Jesus vs. Santa]], it resembled the style of the later series more closely, and featured a [[martial arts]] duel and subsequent [[ceasefire|truce]] between [[Jesus]] and [[Santa Claus]] over the true meaning of [[Christmas]]. This video was later featured in the episode "[[A Very Crappy Christmas]]" in which Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Mr. Hankey "save" Christmas for the town. The video was popular and was widely shared, both by duplication and over the [[Internet]]. This led to talks to create a series, first with FOX, then with Comedy Central, where the series debuted on [[August 13]], 1997. During the first four seasons of ''South Park'', clips of the shorts can be seen in the opening sequence within an old television and a billboard.
-La série est diffusée depuis le [[13 août]] [[1997]] sur la chaîne [[Comedy Central]], appartenant au réseau [[MTV Networks]]. En [[France]], la série est diffusée depuis le [[17 juillet]] [[1998]] sur [[Canal+]], depuis 2003 sur [[Canal Jimmy]], depuis [[2002]] sur [[Comédie !]] et depuis [[2005]] sur [[Game One]]. En [[Belgique]], la série est diffusée sur [[Plug TV]], en [[Allemagne]] sur [[MTV]] et au [[Canada]], sur [[Télétoon (Canada)|Télétoon]].

+==History==
+''South Park'''s early episodes tended to be [[shock value]]-oriented and featured more [[Monty Python|Pythonesque]] humor than later episodes. Although [[satire]] had been used on the show occasionally earlier on, it became more prevalent in later episodes. Episodes have parodied [[Michael Jackson]] ("[[The Jeffersons (South Park episode)|The Jeffersons]]"), [[Paris Hilton]] ("[[Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset]]"), and ''[[The Passion of the Christ]]'' ("[[The Passion of the Jew]]"), as well as addressed serious political issues such as [[terrorism]] ("[[Cartoon Wars]]"), American [[immigration]] policy ("[[Goobacks]]"), [[Same-sex Marriage|Gay Marriage]] ("[[Follow that Egg]]"), and the [[Terri Schiavo]] case ("[[Best Friends Forever]]").
-==Personnages==
+The [[television pilot|pilot episode]], "[[Cartman Gets an Anal Probe]]" (nearly identical to the first official episode, which has the same name), required three months to produce using [[construction paper]] and traditional cut-out animation techniques. However, the version that aired was different from the original version. Current episodes duplicate the original, amateurish look using modern [[computer animation]] tools — first [[PowerAnimator]] and then [[Maya (software)|Maya]], which Parker and Stone described as "building a sandcastle with a bulldozer". This allows for a shorter production schedule, enabling the creators to respond quickly to current events. The [[December 17]], [[2003]] episode "[[It's Christmas in Canada]]" depicted the [[Operation Red Dawn|capture of]] [[Saddam Hussein]] a mere three days after the actual event, even referring to the "spider hole" in which he was found. In this instance - as with the [[Elián González affair|Elián González]] episode ("[[Quintuplets 2000]]") - the creators changed the production of an episode at the last minute to focus on the new world event.[[Image:Southpark disclaimer.png|left|thumb|The disclaimer that begins every episode.]]

Soon after the episode aired, Lucas and Spielberg announced that contrary to rumors they would not be altering ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' for [[DVD]] release. Parker and Stone jokingly suggested that the episode prevented any alterations from happening.{{Fact|date=December 2007}}

-==Histoire==
+Edited versions of ''South Park'' episodes, with the [[Television content rating systems#United States|TV-14]] rating, began broadcasting in syndication on [[September 19]], [[2005]] on various local channels around the [[United States|U.S.]]<ref>{{cite web| last = Rudolph| first = Ileane | coauthors = Matt Webb Mitovich | title = South Park Gets Cleaned Up| publisher = [[TV Guide]]| date=  2005-09-01| url = http://www.tvguide.com/news/south-park-gets/050901-03| accessdate = 2007-08-09 }}</ref>
-===Origines===
-''South Park'' a débuté en [[1992]] lorsque [[Trey Parker]] et [[Matt Stone]], étudiants à l'[[Université du Colorado à Boulder|Université du Colorado]], se rencontrèrent lors d'un cours de [[cinéma]] et créèrent un [[court métrage]] d'[[animation]] appelé ''[[L'Esprit de Noël|Jésus vs. Frosty]]''. Ce film fait avec très peu de moyens présente des prototypes des personnages principaux de ''South Park'', y compris un personnage ressemblant à [[Eric Cartman|Cartman]], mais appelé « [[Kenny McCormick|Kenny]] », et un personnage anonyme, qui ressemble à [[Kyle Broflovski|Kyle]], ramenant à la vie un [[bonhomme de neige]] meurtrier avec un chapeau magique.
-En [[1995]], après avoir vu le film, le [[Producteur de cinéma|producteur]] exécutif de la [[Fox Broadcasting Network|FOX]], [[Brian Graden]], demanda à Parker et à Stone de créer un deuxième court métrage pour l'envoyer à ses amis comme carte de [[Noël]]. Intitulé ''[[L'Esprit de Noël|The Spirit of Christmas]]'', il ressemble beaucoup plus au style de la future série, et met en scène un combat d'[[arts martiaux]] puis une discussion entre [[Jésus (South Park)|Jésus]] et le [[Liste des personnages secondaires de South Park#Le Père Noël|Père Noël]] sur le véritable sens de Noël. Cette vidéo fut plus tard reprise dans l'épisode ''[[Le Cycle du caca]]'' dans lequel [[Stan Marsh|Stan]], Kyle, Cartman, Kenny et [[Mr. Hankey]] « sauvent » Noël dans leur ville. Cette vidéo fut très populaire et très diffusée sur [[Internet]]. Ce succès amena les créateurs à s'entretenir afin de créer une série, d'abord avec la FOX, puis avec [[Comedy Central]]<ref>[http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/fortune/south_park/2.html La route vers la gloire de ''South Park''] (p2) sur [[Cable News Network|CNN]] Money</ref>, où le premier épisode fut diffusé le [[13 août]] [[1997]]. Un clip de ce court métrage peut être vu dans le générique d'ouverture de ''South Park'' sur un panneau publicitaire; ''Jésus vs. Frosty'' peut aussi être vu dans les rediffusions.
+In late 2007 Comedy Central made the announcement that it will be providing full South Park episodes online for free. Commentators on a media website suggest it is an effort to fight back against pirated versions of the show that have been made available online, and also to increase advertising revenue. <ref>

-===Évolution===
+==Characters==
-Les premiers épisodes de ''South Park'' voulaient être choquants et avaient un humour tendant plus vers le style [[Monty Python]] que dans les derniers épisodes. Bien que la satire fût utilisée occasionnellement durant les premières années, elle est devenue plus évidente aux environs de la [[South Park : saison  8|huitième saison]]. Par exemple, des épisodes mettent en scène la venue de [[Michael Jackson]] à South Park (''[[Les Jefferson]]''), les garçons allant voir ''[[La Passion du Christ]]'' (''[[La Passion du Juif]]''), des [[ouvrier]]s qui perdent leur travail à cause d'[[immigrant]]s venus du futur (''[[Les Gluants]]'') ou encore [[Paris Hilton]] vendant un kit vidéo pour être aussi « pute » qu'elle (''[[Kit vidéo pour stupide pute trop gâtée]]'').
+{{main|South Park characters}}
+[[Image:Southpark ep107 1.jpg|200px|thumb|The boys dressed for [[Halloween]] in the episode "[[Pinkeye (South Park episode)|Pinkeye]]". From left to right: Eric Cartman (as [[Adolf Hitler]]), Kyle Broflovski (as [[Chewbacca]]), Stan Marsh (as [[Raggedy Ann|Raggedy Andy]]) and Kenny McCormick (literally a [[zombie]]).]]
+Prior to season four, the main characters of the show were four [[third grade]] students (often called "the boys" when as a group for easier reference): [[Stan Marsh|Stanley "Stan" Marsh]], [[Kyle Broflovski]], [[Eric Cartman|Eric Theodore Cartman]], and [[Kenny McCormick|Kenneth "Kenny" McCormick]]. There are many recurring characters on the show, including [[List of South Park families|the boys' families]], [[List of staff at South Park Elementary|school staff]], and [[List of students at South Park Elementary|other students]]. These include [[Butters Stotch|Leopold "Butters" Stotch]], [[Chef (South Park)|Chef]], [[List of other South Park residents#Mr. Hankey|Mr. Hankey]], [[List of other South Park residents#Towelie|Towelie]], [[Jesus (South Park)|Jesus]], and [[Satan (South Park)|Satan]]. There are also many other [[List of minor characters on South Park|minor characters]].
-L'équipe de la série a mis trois mois pour réaliser l'épisode pilote, ''[[Cartman a une sonde anale]]'', à cause de sa technique d'[[animation image par image]] et de ses silhouettes en papier. Les épisodes actuels copient le style original en utilisant des outils d'animation par [[ordinateur]] modernes - d'abord [[PowerAnimator]], puis [[Maya (logiciel)|Maya]] (que Parker et Stone ont décrit comme s'ils « construisaient un château de sable avec un bulldozer »<ref name="insidesp">''Inside South Park'', émission spéciale sur [[VH1]]</ref>). Cette méthode permet de réaliser les épisodes très rapidement et ainsi répondre à l'[[actualité]] dans de très brefs délais. Par exemple, l'épisode du [[17 décembre]] [[2003]] (''[[Noël au Canada]]'') dépeint la capture de [[Saddam Hussein]] trois jours seulement après sa capture par les [[forces armées des États-Unis]], faisant même référence au « trou d'araignée » où il a été trouvé. Dans le cas de cet épisode et de celui de [[Elián González]] (''[[Quintuplés contorsionnistes]]''), les créateurs ont arrêté et changé la production d'un épisode pour se concentrer sur ces événements. Un autre exemple est l'épisode ''[[Le Super-Classeur]]'' qui fut à l'origine diffusé seulement huit jours après les [[Élection présidentielle des États-Unis d'Amérique 2000|élections présidentielles de 2000]] et qui met en scène l'élection du délégué d'une classe de [[maternelle]] qui fut retardée par, entre autres, une fille indécise nommée « Flora », une référence évidente au comptage indécis des voix de l'état de [[Floride]]. ''[[Génial-O]]'' fut créé en trois jours, ce qui est la plus courte durée de création d'un épisode de cette série.
+Matt Stone and Trey Parker voice most of the male South Park characters, while [[April Stewart]] and [[Mona Marshall]] (formerly [[Mary Kay Bergman]] and [[Eliza Schneider]]) voice most of the female characters such as [[List of students at South Park Elementary#Wendy Testaburger|Wendy Testaburger]] and [[Gerald and Sheila Broflovski#Sheila|Sheila Broflovski]]. Other voices are currently provided by [[Adrien Beard]] ([[List of students at South Park Elementary#Token Black|Token Black]]), [[Vernon Chatman]] ([[List of other South Park residents#Towelie|Towelie]]), [[Jennifer Howell]] ([[List of students at South Park Elementary#Bebe Stevens|Bebe Stevens]]), and [[John 'Nancy' Hansen|John Hansen]] ([[List of staff at South Park Elementary#Mr. Slave|Mr. Slave]]). Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski were initially designed to represent creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone respectively; however, both have admitted to ultimately identifying far more with Cartman.<ref> "Goin' Down to South Park" documentary featured on the South Park Season 2 Boxset</ref>
-En [[2002]], l'épisode ''[[Bérets gratos]]'' fut diffusé. Dans cet épisode, [[George Lucas]] et [[Steven Spielberg]] décident de modifier le premier volet de la saga [[Indiana Jones]], ''[[Les Aventuriers de l'arche perdue]]''. Cette façon de changer les films longtemps après leur sortie en salle révolte les garçons, qui essayent d'empêcher les deux hommes de sortir la version remasterisée. Peu de temps après cette diffusion, les vrais Lucas et Spielberg ont annoncé qu'ils n'allaient pas modifier ''Les Aventuriers de l'arche perdue'' pour sa sortie en [[DVD]] contrairement aux rumeurs. Stone et Parker ont plus tard déclaré que leur épisode avait empêché toute modification<ref name="insidesp" />.
+==Animation==
+South Park’s success can be attributed in part to its crude, [[cutout animation]] style.{{Who|date=December 2007}} Construction paper cutouts were used in the original [[The Spirit of Christmas|pilot animation]] and in the [[Cartman Gets an Anal Probe|first episode made for Comedy Central]]. Subsequent episodes have been produced by computer animation providing the same look as the originals. The appearance of characters and scenes has become less crude over time, largely in order to enhance the comedic effect. Special effects, such as prepackaged explosions, have replaced cardboard-style fires. Light shading has been used to highlight "sappy," movie-like moments as well as some of Cartman’s dramatic poses. Some episodes, such as ''[[Tweek vs. Craig]]'' and ''[[Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina]]'', have even incorporated sections of [[live action]] video.
+[[CorelDRAW]] is used to create the characters, which are animated using Maya, or in early episodes, PowerAnimator. The style of animation used for ''South Park'' was inspired by the paper cut-out cartoons made by [[Terry Gilliam]] for ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'', of which Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been lifelong fans.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/display_faq_search.php?section=2&id=36&search_faq=|title=South Park Studios FAQ, April 2001|accessdate=2006-10-19}}</ref> For perspective, the average episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' takes six to eight months to produce<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.snpp.com/other/interviews/scully99b.html|title=The Simpsons Archive: Mike Scully Interview, January 1999|accessdate=2007-06-10}}</ref>, while episodes of ''South Park'' are usually completed in six days (although some, such as [[AWESOM-O]] or [[Woodland Critter Christmas]] have taken only three or four).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/display_faq_search.php?section=2&id=15434&search_faq=|title=South Park Studios FAQ, March 2004|accessdate=2006-10-19}}</ref>
-== Style d'animation ==
+==Music==
-À l'origine, des silhouettes en papier étaient utilisées pour l'animation de l'[[L'Esprit de Noël|épisode pilote]] et dans le premier épisode réalisé pour ''Comedy Central'' (''[[Cartman a une sonde anale]]''). Tous les épisodes qui ont suivi ont été réalisés par ordinateur, ce qui reproduit le même style, bien que l'[[animation]] soit plus recherchée qu'au début. Ces innovations en animation sont utilisées la plupart du temps pour des effets comiques ; les [[effet spécial|effets spéciaux]] tels que des [[explosion]]s pré-enregistrées ont remplacé les feux en cartons, et les effets de lumières sont utilisés pour accentuer le côté « stupide » d'une situation ou des moments ressemblant à des extraits de [[film]]s, et pour montrer la capacité de Cartman à prendre des poses dramatiques. Quelques épisodes contiennent aussi des scènes filmées comme dans ''[[Tweek contre Craig]]'' (pour raconter l'histoire de la fiancée de [[Liste du personnel de l'école primaire de South Park#M. Adler|M. Adler]]), ''[[Orgie de chat]]'' (un extrait de reportage animalier) et dans ''[[Crève Hippie, crève !]]'' (un extrait d'un festival de musique [[hippie]]).
+The show's original [[theme music|theme song]] was a musical score performed by the band [[Primus (band)|Primus]]. The song has been remixed three times during the course of the series (as of [[List of South Park episodes#Season 10: 2006|season ten]]), and certain lines have been altered (see below). In the beginning of [[List of South Park episodes#Season 10: 2006|season 10]] the title music was changed to the song "Whamola", performed by [[Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade|The Les Claypool Frog Brigade]], from the album ''[[Purple Onion]]''. ([[Les Claypool]] is the singer and bassist in both Primus and the Frog Brigade)
-[[CorelDraw]] est utilisé pour créer les personnages, qui sont ensuite animés en utilisant [[Maya (logiciel)|Maya]]. Le style d'animation utilisé pour ''South Park'' est inspiré par les cartoons en papier faits par [[Terry Gilliam]] pour ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'', dont [[Matt Stone]] et [[Trey Parker]] sont fans depuis toujours.<ref>{{ Lien web | url=http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/display_faq_search.php?section=2&id=36&search_faq= | titre=FAQ de ''South Park Studios'', [[avril]] }}</ref> Pour comparaison, la création d'un épisode des ''[[Les Simpson|Simpson]]'' dure neuf mois, alors que celle d'un épisode de ''South Park'' prend environ six jours.<ref>{{ Lien web | url=http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/display_faq_search.php?section=2&id=15434&search_faq= | titre=FAQ de ''South Park Studios'', [[Mars (mois)|mars]] }}</ref> Ceci permet de parodier des événements qui ont lieu peu de temps avant la diffusion de l'épisode, comme la capture de [[Saddam Hussein]] (''[[Noël au Canada]]'').
+Kenny's lines in the song, like the rest of his speech in the show, are muffled by his [[anorak|parka]] hood, which covers his entire face except for his eyes. However, Kenny's lines have been revealed by South Park Studios. In seasons 1-2, he says "I love girls with big fat titties, I love girls with deep vaginas." <ref name="faq1">{{cite web|url=http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/display_faq_search.php?section=2&id=3822&search_faq=|title=South Park Studios FAQ, September 2001|accessdate=2006-12-04}}</ref> From seasons 3-5 he says "I have got a 10-inch [[penis]], use your mouth if you want to clean it." <ref name="faq1" /> In season 6, Kenny had been written out of the show, having supposedly permanently died; in his absence, [[Timmy (South Park character)|Timmy]], who has a cognitive disability (early in the show Timmy was originally described as being "mentally retarded"<ref>http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Timmy</ref>), takes his place, singing "Timmy Timmy, Timmy Timmy, Timmy Timmy, Livin'a lie Timmy!"  After returning to the show just before season 7, Kenny also returned to the theme song: From season 7 to the first half of season 10, Kenny says "Some day I'll be old enough to stick my dick in [[Britney Spears|Britney's]] butt." <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/display_faq_search.php?section=2&id=14495&search_faq=|title=South Park Studios FAQ, December 2003|accessdate=2006-12-04}}</ref> Starting with the second half of Season 10, Kenny's lines changed again; however, the current lines are not known. In the original unaired pilot episode of Cartman Gets An Anal Probe, in the rather different version of the opening, Kenny's lines are the same as they were in the first 2 seasons.
-==Musique==
+The general unintelligibility of Kenny's lines has helped them avoid being censored by television networks on a number of occasions, but sometimes words can be heard. The gist can usually be understood. It is sometimes easy to comprehend the lines, given the context in which they are delivered and their [[intonation (linguistics)|intonation]]. The syndicated versions of the show usually do censor Kenny's vulgar lines. {{Fact|date=December 2007}}
-{{Article détaillé|Musique dans South Park}}
+Popular songs such as "Kyle's Mom is a Big Fat Bitch" originated on the show, but the creators' musical abilities were not frequently used until the release of ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]]''. The film's soundtrack (co-written and produced by [[Grammy Award]]-winning composer-lyricist [[Marc Shaiman]]) featured songs like "[[Blame Canada]]" (nominated for an [[Academy Award|Oscar]]; see below), "I'm Super," "La Resistance Medley," "Hell Isn't Good," "Mountain Town," "[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut#Track listing|Uncle Fucka]]" (won an [[MTV Movie Awards|MTV Movie Award]] for "Best Musical Performance"), "Up There," and "[[What Would Brian Boitano Do?]]." Several of the songs from the movie are satires of tunes from [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] cartoons. For instance, "Mountain Town" is highly similar to the song "Belle" from ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast]]''. "Up There" is a take-off of two different Disney songs, "Out There" from ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996 film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' and "Part of Your World" from ''[[The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid]]''. "La Resistance Medley" spoofs both "One Day More" from the stage musical ''[[Les Misérables (musical)|Les Miserables]]'' and "[[Tonight (song)|Tonight]]" from ''[[West Side Story]]''.
-Le [[génériques de South Park|générique d'ouverture]] de la série a été composé par le groupe [[Primus]]. Cette chanson fut remixée trois fois au cours de la série, et certaines paroles ont été modifiées. Dans la deuxième partie de la [[South Park : saison  10|saison 10]], le générique est « Whamola » interprété par [[Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade]], extrait de l'album ''[[Purple Onion]]''. [[Les Claypool]] est le [[chanteur]] et [[bassiste]] de Primus et de Frog Brigade.
+Parker and Stone have, on occasion, performed these songs (and others) under the band name [[DVDA (band)|DVDA]].
-Les paroles que chante Kenny, comme toutes ses répliques dans la série (à l'exception de deux phrases dans l'épisode 807, ''[[Les Jefferson]]'', et de sa phrase dans ''[[South Park, le film : Plus long, plus grand et pas coupé]]'') sont brouillées par son [[anorak]], qui recouvre tout son visage excepté ses yeux. Cependant, ses paroles ont été révélées par South Park Studio<ref>[http://www.southparkstudios.com South Park Studio]</ref>. Dans les saisons [[South Park : saison  1|1]] et [[South Park : saison  2|2]], il dit « I love girls with big fat titties, I love girls with deep vaginas » (ce qui peut se traduire par « J'aime les filles avec de gros tétons, J'aime les filles avec des [[vagin]]s profonds »), de la [[South Park : saison  3|saison 3]] à la [[South Park : saison  5|saison 5]], il dit « I have got a 10-inch penis, use your mouth if you want to clean it » (« J'ai un [[pénis]] de dix pouces (25 cm) de long, utilise ta bouche si tu veux le nettoyer »)<ref>{{ Lien web | url=http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/display_faq_search.php?section=2&id=3822&search_faq= | titre=South Park Studios FAQ, September 2001 }}</ref>. De la [[South Park : saison  7|saison 7]] à la première partie de la [[South Park : saison  10|saison 10]] Kenny dit « One day I'll be old enough to stick my dick in Britney's butt » (« Un jour je serai assez vieux pour mettre ma bite dans le cul de [[Britney Spears|Britney]] ») <ref>{{ Lien web | url=http://www.southparkstudios.com/show/display_faq_search.php?section=2&id=14495&search_faq= | titre=South Park Studios FAQ, December 2003 }}</ref>. Les paroles actuelles (à partir de l'épisode ''[[Make Love, Not Warcraft]]'') sont : « Get a job you silly person Nature's bitch is really hurtin ».
+In the show, Eric Cartman will often burst into song to convey a false [[altruism]] or [[optimism]] that belies his baser motivations. In ''[[Red Sleigh Down]]'', he sings ''Poo-Choo Train'', an unnervingly cheery [[Christmas carol]], in an obvious attempt to convince Mr. Hankey and Santa Claus that he is worthy of Christmas presents. In "[[I'm a Little Bit Country]]" Cartman sings [[Paula Cole]]'s song "[[I Don't Want to Wait]]" while beating someone to death (Cartman also sings the song as an homage to his [[Dawson's Creek]] [[Trapper Keeper]] in the episode [[Trapper Keeper (South Park episode)|Trapper Keeper]]). In "[[The Death of Eric Cartman]]", Cartman sings "Make It Right" with Butters in a weak attempt to reconcile his sins. In "[[Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods]]", Cartman sings the [[Donna Summer]] song "She Works Hard For The Money" during an audition for [[List of fictional brands in South Park#Food|Cheesy Poofs]]. In the episode "[[Ginger Kids (South Park episode)|Ginger Kids]]", he sings a song about tolerance once he realizes he's not one of the "Gingers" and that he just convinced every Ginger in town to exterminate non-Ginger people. Cartman also uses the song "[[Heat of the Moment]]" in episode 513 ("[[Kenny Dies]]") to convince the [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]] to approve [[stem cell]] [[stem cell controversy|research]]. Cartman has a mental quirk that forces him to finish singing [[Styx (band)|Styx's]] ''[[Come Sail Away]]'' whenever someone sings a few bars of the song. As soon as he learns this, Kyle, who has a strong and explicit hatred for Cartman, takes advantage of this and forces Cartman to finish the song so many times that Cartman becomes literally unintelligible. In episode 409 "[[Something You Can Do with Your Finger]]", the boys made their boy band, "Fingerbang".
-Les répliques généralement inintelligibles de Kenny ont permis aux créateurs d'être diffusés sans être censurés sur les chaînes de télévision à de nombreuses occasions, bien que le reste de ses répliques peuvent être généralement comprises. En effet, remises dans leur contexte, elles sont assez faciles à deviner.
+Cartman was also the lead singer for "Faith + 1", a Christian band he formed with Butters and Token in the episode "[[Christian Rock Hard]]". He creates several "Christian" songs by taking sexually suggestive love songs and substituting romantic words such as "baby" and "darling" with "Jesus"; instead of the traditional "Christian Rock" lyrics singing about spiritual love for Jesus, Cartman sings about his desire to have actual, physical sex with Jesus.  A few titles of these songs include "Body of Christ" and "Get Down on my Knees and Start Pleasing Jesus"
-Des chansons populaires telles que ''La Mère de Kyle est une grosse conne'' sont originaires de la série, mais les capacités musicales des créateurs n'ont pas été utilisées souvent jusqu'à la diffusion du [[South Park, le film : Plus long, plus grand et pas coupé|film]]. La [[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut|bande originale]] du film est composée de chansons comme ''Mountain Town'', ''La Resistance Medley'', ''Uncle Fucka'', ''What Would Brian Boitano Do?'' (une chanson sur [[Brian Boitano]], célèbre [[patinage artistique|patineur artistique]]), ''I'm Super'', et ''Blame Canada'' (nommée aux [[Oscar du cinéma|Oscars]], ''voir plus bas''). De nombreuses chansons de ce film parodient celles des films de [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]]. Par exemple, ''Mountain Town'', est très similaire à la chanson ''Belle'' de ''[[La Belle et la Bête (Disney)|La Belle et la Bête]]''. ''Up Ther'' est une parodie de deux chansons différentes de Disney, ''Out There'' de ''[[Le Bossu de Notre-Dame]]'' et ''Part of Your World'' de ''[[La Petite Sirène (Disney)|La Petite Sirène]]''. ''La Resistance Medley'' se moque de ''[[Les Misérables (comédie musicale)|Les Misérables]]'', et ''Tonight'' de ''[[West Side Story]]''. [[James Hetfield]], chanteur de [[Metallica]], chante sur ''Little Boy, You're Going to Hell'', bien qu'il ne soit pas crédité.
+The band [[Korn]] appears in one of the Halloween episodes, where South Park is plagued by pirate ghosts. It is the band's job to "solve the mystery" (this of course is a spoof of [[Scooby Doo]]). In the episodes climax, Korn plays "[[Falling Away from Me]]" in celebration of the solved mystery.
-Parker et Stone ont parfois interprété ces chansons (et d'autres) sous le nom de [[DVDA]].
+In "[[Fat Butt and Pancake Head]]", Cartman's hand puppet "Jennifer Lopez" (who pronounces her name as "Hennifer Lopez") recorded a hit single entitled "Taco Flavored Kisses", inciting the wrath of the "real" [[Jennifer Lopez]] character.
-Dans la série, Eric Cartman chante de nombreuses fois pour faire preuve d'un faux [[altruisme]] ou [[optimisme]], cachant ses réelles motivations. Dans ''[[La Chute du traîneau rouge]]'', il chante ''Poo-Choo Train'', un [[chant de Noël]] pour convaincre Mr. Hankey et le Père Noël qu'il est digne de recevoir des cadeaux de Noël. Dans ''[[Plutôt du genre country]]'', Cartman chante la chanson de [[Paula Cole]] ''I Don't Want to Wait'' tout en frappant un homme à mort. Cartman a aussi chanté une chanson en hommage à son super classeur [[Dawson]] dans l'épisode ''[[Le Super-Classeur]]'' et, dans ''[[La Mort d'Eric Cartman]]'', il chante ''Make It Right'' avec Butters en essayant de se faire pardonner ses péchés. Dans ''[[Roger Ebert devrait manger moins gras]]'', Cartman chante la chanson de [[Donna Summer]], ''She Works Hard For The Money'' pendant une audition pour les Cheesy Poofs. Dans l'épisode ''[[Les Simpson l'ont déjà fait]]'', Cartman chante comment le peuple des mers va l'emmener loin de cette terre « pleine de hippies ». Dans l'épisode ''[[Les Rouquins]]'', il chante une chanson sur la [[tolérance]] une fois qu'il a réalisé qu'il n'était pas [[roux]] alors qu'il venait de convaincre tous les ''rouquins'' de la ville d'exterminer tous les non-roux. Cartman utilise aussi la chanson ''Heat of the Moment'' dans l'épisode ''[[Kenny se meurt]]'' pour convaincre le [[sénat des États-Unis]] de réautoriser la recherche sur les [[cellule souche|cellules souches]]. Et, bien sûr, Cartman a un [[trouble obsessionnel compulsif|toc]] qui le force à terminer la chanson ''Come Sail Away'' du groupe [[Styx (musique)|Styx]] dès qu'il entend les premières paroles. Dès qu'il l'a su, Kyle, qui hait Cartman, en prit avantage et obligea Cartman à finir la chanson tellement de fois que Cartman est devenu littéralement inintelligible.
+Additional musical contributions to the show come from the band Primus, which performed the original opening and ending themes for the show, and formerly from Isaac Hayes, who voiced Chef's singing of usually-sexual songs to explain certain adult themes to the boys. The Chef song [[Chocolate Salty Balls]] was released as a single in the UK in 1998 to support the [[Chef Aid: The South Park Album|Chef Aid]] album and became a number one hit[http://www.theofficialcharts.com/stats-one-hit-wonders.php].  Many episodes also feature highly melodramatic [[sheet music|musical score]]s to comically exaggerate the emotional content of the scene. For example, [[melancholia|melancholy]] music plays in the background when [[List of students at South Park Elementary#Timmy|Timmy]] sends away his beloved pet turkey, Gobbles, in the episode "[[Helen Keller! The Musical]]".
-Cartman fut aussi le chanteur du groupe ''Faith + 1'' (nom détourné pour coller à l'esprit de l'épisode et inspiré du groupe de rock américain [[Faith No More]]), un groupe chrétien qu'il a formé avec Butters et Token dans l'épisode ''[[Rock chrétien]]'', chantant de nombreuses chansons « chrétiennes » sur Jésus, en prenant des chansons sexuellement explicites et en substituant le mot « bébé » par « Jésus ».
+==Controversies==
+{{main|South Park controversies}}
+[[Image:South Park Xenu.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Xenu]] in the episode "Trapped in the Closet"]]
-Dans ''[[Gros cul et tête de nœud]]'', la marionnette de Cartman (qui prononce son nom « Yénnifer Lopez » et qui est en réalité un arnaqueur du nom de Mitch Connor) a enregistré un hit intitulé ''[[Tacos]] Flavored Kisses'' (''Baisers au goût de tacos''), ce qui entraîna la colère de la « vraie » [[Jennifer Lopez]] (ruinant sa carrière, elle finit alors par travailler dans un restaurant de tacos).
+The show has faced numerous controversies. It often uses what many people find to be [[taboo]] subject matter, from its use of [[vulgarism|vulgarity]] ("[[It Hits the Fan]]") to its satire of subjects such as [[religion]] and [[cult]]s (such as "[[Trapped in the Closet (South Park)|Trapped in the Closet]]"), [[Human sexuality|sexuality]] ("[[Proper Condom Use]]"), tolerance ("[[The Death Camp of Tolerance]]"), and [[natural disaster]] hysteria ("[[Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow]]"). Stone and Parker are self-described "equal opportunity offenders" and episodes often lampoon all sides of a contentious issue, rather than taking a concrete position. {{Fact|date=December 2007}}
-Les musiques additionnelles sont composées par Primus et par [[Isaac Hayes]] qui fut la voix de [[Chef (personnage)|Chef]] et qui chantait des chansons sexuellement explicites pour expliquer aux enfants certains thèmes adultes.
+The show's provocative material quickly drew protest from various [[spokesman|spokesmen]], who deemed the program offensive. {{Fact|date=December 2007}} American conservative media watchdog group [[Parents Television Council]] has frequently criticized ''South Park'' for its content. {{Fact|date=December 2007}}
-De nombreux épisodes ont des musiques très mélodramatiques afin de mettre en avant l'absurdité d'une scène émotionnelle (par exemple, la musique mélancolique jouée en fond sonore lorsque [[Timmy]] se sépare de sa dinde, [[Liste des personnages secondaires de South Park#Gobbles|Gobbles]], dans ''[[Thanksgivings (South Park)|Thanksgivings]]'').
+The show also frequently uses vulgarities. For example, in the episode "[[It Hits the Fan]]", the word ''[[shit]]'' was said a total of 162 times uncensored. A counter at the bottom of the screen recorded the number of times the expletive was spoken. Also, in the episode entitled "[[With Apologies to Jesse Jackson]]", the racial slur ''[[nigger]]'' was used throughout the entire episode for a total of 42 times.
-==Controverses==
+In 2005, the [[Catholic League (U.S.)|Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights]] protested the season finale episode, "[[Bloody Mary (South Park)|Bloody Mary]]", for its depiction of a statue of the [[Blessed Virgin Mary|Virgin Mary]] bleeding from her [[vagina]]. {{Fact|date=December 2007}} The group claimed a victory when Comedy Central voluntarily canceled a scheduled airing of the episode which coincided with the Christian holiday season. In early [[2006]], Comedy Central denied that they were honoring the group's request to pull the episode from future repeats and DVD releases.<ref>Hall, Sarah.

-{{Article détaillé|Controverses autour de South Park|Sujets polémiques abordés dans South Park}}
-La série a dû faire face à de nombreuses controverses. En effet, elle dépeint ce que bon nombre de personnes considèrent être des sujets [[tabou]]s, de l'utilisation de la [[vulgarité]], (''[[Y'en a dans le ventilo]]'') à la satire de sujets tels que la [[religion]] et les [[culte]]s (comme la [[Scientologie]]), la [[sexualité humaine|sexualité]] (''[[Le Camp de la mort de tolérance]]'') et le [[réchauffement planétaire]] (''[[Deux jours avant le jour après demain]]''). [[Matt Stone|Stone]] et [[Trey Parker|Parker]] se décrivent comme étant des « offenseurs ne faisant aucune distinction » et attaquent bien souvent des deux côtés sans prendre réellement position.
+{{wikinews|Isaac Hayes quits South Park over Scientology episode}}
+''South Park'' has parodied Scientology in several episodes. Most of them, however, never mention Scientology by name, although they are obviously meant to parody it. The episode that caused the most controversy was "[[Trapped in the Closet (South Park)|Trapped in the Closet]]", which caused what the media dubbed [[Trapped in the Closet (South Park)#"Closetgate"|'Closetgate']]. The episode poked fun at the religion and its celebrity followers, including [[Tom Cruise]]. After Comedy Central pulled the episode from a scheduled repeat at the last minute, it was alleged that Cruise threatened [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] with withdrawal from promotion of his latest film if the episode was re-broadcast (both Paramount and Comedy Central are owned by [[Viacom]]). {{Fact|date=December 2007}} This situation led to Isaac Hayes, who played Chef and is a Scientologist himself, to quit unexpectedly days before the spoof on [[Scientology]] was to re-air. {{Fact|date=December 2007}}
-''South Park'' étant une série provocante, de nombreux porte-paroles ont protesté contre ce programme  « offensant ». Le groupe américain et conservateur de surveillance des [[média]]s [[Parents Television Council]] a fréquemment critiqué ''South Park'' pour leur vulgarité poussive et leur goût pour le [[politiquement incorrect]]<ref>[http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/publications/reports/2004cablestudy/main.asp Cable TV Study - Violence, Sexe, et Blasphèmes sur le Cable - Le cable inondé par la vulgarité].

Brent Bozell]]. [http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/publications/lbbcolumns/2007/0412.asp]. [[Parents Television Council]]. [[12 avril]] [[2007]].</ref>.
+One of the most noteworthy political episodes was the two-parter "[[Cartoon Wars]]". This episode was a critique of the West's response to Muslim rioting over Danish political cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad. {{Fact|date=December 2007}} ''South Park'' suggested that the cartoons were not reprinted (as is routinely done in Western media outlets), not out of respect for any group, but due to fear of violent retaliation. Ironically, Comedy Central censored the Cartoon Wars scene that was to include [[Muhammad]], despite having previously allowed Muhammad's appearance as a superhero in the episode "[[Super Best Friends]]". When their protest was overruled, the creators inserted a black screen that said "Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of Muhammad on their network." Parker and Stone ironically closed the episode with a scene depicting Jesus defecating on President [[George W. Bush|George Bush]] and the [[Flag of the United States|American flag]] (as the extremists' "revenge").
-Par exemple, dans l'épisode ''[[Y'en a dans le ventilo]]'', ''South Park'' bat un record en utilisant 162 fois le mot « [[merde]] » sans être censurée. De même, dans l'épisode intitulé ''[[With Apologies to Jesse Jackson]]'', le mot « [[nègre]] » est utilisé 42 fois.
+==Themes==
+{{Unreferencedsection|date=December 2007}}
+{{Main|South Park themes}}
+Apart from the continuously "vulgar" presentation of issues, ''South Park'' implements several recurring themes that it frequently uses, including  current events, [[disabilities]], [[politics|political issues]], [[racism]], [[LGBT social movements|gay rights]], [[death]], [[environmental policy|environment]], [[censorship]], [[political correctness]], [[abortion]], [[sex]], and [[religion]], many of which are widely viewed as controversial.
-En [[décembre 2005]], la ''Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights'' protesta contre l'épisode final de la [[South Park : saison  9|saison 9]], ''[[Bloody Mary (South Park)|Bloody Mary]]'', pour sa représentation de la [[Vierge Marie]] saignant du [[rectum]]. Le groupe remporta une victoire lorsque Comedy Central déprogramma volontairement l'épisode qui coïncidait avec le début des vacances de [[Noël]]. Début [[2006]], les responsables de Comedy Central ont nié le fait qu'ils avaient accepté la requête du groupe, à savoir retirer l'épisode des prochaines diffusions et des [[DVD]]s<ref>[http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=f7d0d010-54b6-4b45-a908-6dd7f4fca1c6 ''South Park'' bloquée par des plaintes ?] sur Eonline</ref>. Comedy Central a rediffusé l'épisode de nombreuses fois depuis.
+==Awards==
+* ''South Park'' has been nominated for the [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming less than One Hour)|Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program]] seven times (1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, [[58th Primetime Emmy Awards#Outstanding Animated Program (Less Than One Hour)|2006]], and [[59th Primetime Emmy Awards#Outstanding Animated Program (for programming less than one hour)|2007]]).

+* ''South Park'' was nominated for important awards such as the 1998 [[Annie Awards|Annie Award]] for Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Primetime or Late Night Television Program. It was also nominated for the 1998 [[GLAAD Media Awards|GLAAD Award]] for Outstanding TV - Individual Episode for "[[Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride]]". It also received an [[NAACP Image Awards|Image Award]] nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Isaac Hayes) in [[1999]]. <ref name="imdbawardspage">[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/awards IMDB full list of awards won by "South Park"]</ref>

+* ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]]'' was nominated for an Oscar for "Best Music, Original Song" for "Blame Canada". They lost to [[Phil Collins]] and made fun of him in two consecutive episodes in season 4 ("[[Cartman's Silly Hate Crime 2000]]" & "[[Timmy 2000]]"). Creator Trey Parker explained the reasoning for these barbs in the season 4 DVD commentary, saying "we were fully expecting to lose, just not to Phil Collins". "Blame Canada" was performed by [[Robin Williams]] during the [[72nd Academy Awards|televised award show]], which was the first to carry a [[Television content rating systems#United States|TV-14]] parental advisory, in part because of the performance of that song, which contains some adult language.
+* Another track from the movie, "Uncle Fucka", won an MTV Movie Award for Best Musical Performance; Trey Parker and Matt Stone accepted the award, and thanked the audience for "not nominating Phil Collins".
+* ''South Park'' is the last actively-running television series that has won a [[CableACE Award]]. It won the award for Best Animated Series in 1997, the last year the awards were given out.<ref>Basile, Nancy. [http://animatedtv.about.com/library/weekly/aa092102b.htm South Park Awards].

-''South Park'' a aussi parodié la [[Scientologie]] dans certains épisodes. Dans la plupart d'entre eux, cependant, elle n'est pas mentionnée comme telle mais elle y est clairement critiquée. L'épisode le plus controversé sur ce sujet fut ''[[Piégé dans le placard]]'' ce qui causa ce que les médias appelèrent le « Placard Gate » (ou « Closetgate » à l'origine)<ref name="Figaro">[http://www.lefigaro.fr/people/20060321.WWW000000330_tom_cruise_contre_south_park_.html Tom Cruise contre ''South Park''] sur le site du ''[[Le Figaro|Figaro]]''</ref>. L'épisode se moque du culte et des célébrités qui le suivent, y compris [[Tom Cruise]]. Lorsque Comedy Central a retiré l'épisode de sa programmation à la dernière minute, Cruise fut accusé de menacer [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] de se retirer de la promotion de son dernier film  si l'épisode était rediffusé (Paramount et Comedy Central sont tous les deux dirigés par [[Viacom]])<ref name="Figaro" />.

-''South Park'' a attaqué indirectement la montée de [[censure]] ambiante dans son épisode ''[[Cartoon Wars I]]'', qui se termine sur une phrase annonçant que la deuxième partie du double épisode serait diffusée seulement si [[Comedy Central]] ne la déprogramme pas. L'épisode suivant ''[[Cartoon Wars II]]'' remplaça une scène avec [[Mahomet]] dans ''[[Les Griffin]]'' par un message précisant que Comedy Central a refusé de montrer une représentation de Mahomet sur leur chaîne. Cependant, Comedy Central n'a pas censuré les images du [[Jésus de Nazareth|Christ]] et de [[George W. Bush]] déféquant sur le [[Drapeau des États-Unis|drapeau américain]]. Le choix des auteurs a entraîné une vive réaction de la part de la [[Ligue catholique (États-Unis)|Ligue catholique]]<ref>[http://www.catholicleague.org/catalyst/2006_catalyst/0906_print_pages/South%20Park.htm ''South Park'' offense une nouvelle fois] sur Catholic League.org</ref>.

-==Anecdotes==
-*En 1995, [[George Clooney]] reçut une version cassette de ''[[L'Esprit de Noël]]'', la vidéo-carte de Noël qui inspirera ''South Park''. Il la trouva si drôle qu'il fit plusieurs copies et qu'il l'envoya à tous ses amis dans les environs de [[Los Angeles]] ; Stone et Parker en furent tellement reconnaissants qu'ils l'invitèrent à jouer un rôle dans la série (la voix de Sparky, le chien homosexuel de Stan). Il apparut plus tard dans ''[[South Park, le film : Plus long, plus grand et pas coupé]]'' dans le rôle du docteur qui ne parvient pas à sauver Kenny. Malgré cette histoire, Parker et Stone parodient Clooney à cause de ses déclarations sur ses opinions politiques dans la série (''[[Danger Snobfog]]'') mais aussi dans leur autre film ''[[Team America, police du monde]]''. Clooney a plus tard déclaré qu'il aurait été offensé s'il n'avait pas été parodié dans le film<ref>[http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/clooney%20supports%20team%20america%20makers%20despite%20ridicule Clooney soutient les réalisateurs de ''Team America World Police'' malgré qu'il y soit tourné au ridicule] sur [http://www.contactmusic.com Contact Music.com]</ref>.
-*La société de production de Parker et Stone se nomme ''Braniff Productions'', d'après l'ancienne [[Braniff International|compagnie aérienne]]. Le logo est apparu pour la première fois dans l'épisode 101 comme une blague, mais les créateurs ont décidé que ce logo apparaitrait à chaque fin d'épisode. La musique qui l'accompagne est un extrait de « Shpadoinkle », une chanson apparaissant dans le premier film de Trey Parker ''[[Cannibal! The Musical]]''.
-*À l'origine, [[Warner Bros. Entertainment]] a distribué les deux premières saisons en VHS et DVD, dont chaque épisode était introduit par de courts passages comme ''A Fireside Chat with Matt and Trey'' ou ''Makin' Bacon with Macon''; [[Time Warner]] et [[Viacom]], possédant chacun Comedy Central à 50%, les droits des DVDs sont revenus à Warner Bros. Lorsque commença la distribution des DVDs de la [[South Park : saison  3|saison 3]], les droits des DVDs ont été transférés à [[Paramount]] et ces introductions furent supprimées.
