He’s certainly one of the most Interesting characters and his personality helps create many good stories. So I guess he is one of my favorite characters. But I wouldn’t like him or someone like him in real life. Kyle is one of my favorites too and obviously he’s a much more likeable character.

Non-conformist? 😄

Also check out the Wikipedia page: The Xenu story first leaked in the 1970s , was part of a Court case in the 80s, was shown as a cartoon on BBC:s Panorama in 1987 and it was posted on the Internet in 1994. (Believe it or not, Internet existed way before 2005)

Yeah I remember Operation Clambake, The Lisa McPherson Trust and XenuTV.

Sad to say Andreas (founder of Operation Clambake) has terminal cancer.

It was well known at the time. There were anti-Scientology websites like Operation Clambake and the Lisa McPherson Trust and XenuTV that had a lot of info. There were lots of legal documents IIRC. The Church of Scientology always publicly denied the Xenu story but IIRC they had had to admit it under oath in some trial that it was an authentic teaching.

They definitely did not learn it from Isaac Hayes. I don’t know what OT level he was on but if he was OT3 (where they learn the Xenu story) or higher he would definitely not tell anybody about it. That would be a major ethics violation. LRH even said people could get so shocked hearing about it they could get sick or even die of they learned about it before reaching OT3.

And that’s the thing about the Xenu story. All scientologists will deny it. Most probably because they genuinely don’t know about it, and those who do know about it will deny it because they have to.

I have no idea who the other Trey Parker is.

Also had no idea Trey’s name was Randolph. But I guess it makes sense if that’s his dad’s name too. Randy, since IIRC Stan and Kyle’s parents were named after Trey and Matt’s parents.

On what platform? I think they’re on Pluto

Any other Swedes here? I’m not sure this is right but IIRC here in Sweden they aired it without subtitles. No idea why.

(Luckily, we’re not like Germany or France and many other European countries where they dub everything so we get the real voices.) So we usually get subtitles but I think South Park aired without them. Can anyone comfirm?

And I think the show was immediately popular but pretty controversial. Simpsons already existed but I guess overall in the 90s, animated generally meant it’s for kids. Maybe That’s why they didn’t subtitle it bc they didn’t want kids (who hadn’t learned English) to understand? Idk
