Man that’s a pretty ass background for South Park standards.
From the first time I ever saw this, all I could think was that there were so many holes in this story…how did no one see through this, except, apparently, Lucy Harris?
Dang this is a weird one. Remember clearly watching it in my parents basement with my brother. Life’s (rightfully) changed drastically since middle school, family has all since moved hours away and my brothers been gone for years. But we giggled at dum dum dum dum dum for weeks.
If I had to make a list of the 10 best South Park episodes… maybe even the top 5, I think this one would certainly be among them. It’s just perfect, every beat.
Anybody hook a brother up with an episode number? I’m too drunk to Google.
Crazy
I still remember watching this when I was 12.
i was -5 years
I was -2 years old.
I was 10 and it was still hilarious
I was 12 as well bro 👊
i watched the very first episode of south park in my childhood bed at 8 years old lol. fuck.
dum dum dum dum
Dee da da Dee da dum! Joseph Smith was called a ‘Prophet’! Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb!
Lucy Harris smart smart smart, Martin Harris dum.
If you wish to learn more, The Book of Mormon has 9 Tony awards and it’s not hard to find pirate videos.
it’s also funny that the mormons appear to be able to take a joke, since they advertised in playbill “you’ve seen the play, now read the book”
But if it rolls through your town, DEFINITELY go see it.
Jesus christ has it really been that long. I remember the mormons in my town going absolutly bat shit when this aired😂
Then, the mormons actually heavily promoted/liked the Book of Mormon
Joseph Smith was called a prophet
Was raised mormon in an area with not many Mormons.
Used to get asked all the time how accurate it was, I’d reply ‘except for the bit with a rock and a hat pretty spot on’
20 years on and it turns out Trey and Matt knew my old faith better then I did
I’m LDS and I absolutely love this episode and the Book of Mormon musical. Stone and Parker did a great job on both
Also isn’t Mormonism the correct religion to go to heaven in the South Park universe? Lmao
Doesn’t even feel old to me wtf
