Were all the times they've ripped on their movie Baseketball. As a kid my favorite show was south park and favorite movie was Baseketball and no one gave the movie any love and it pissed me off.

In my mind baseketball was on the same comedy level as dumb and dumber, caddy shack, and 20 years a slave. I thought at least the stars of my favorite movie would defend the movie but instead matt and trey have trashed it not only on their show but also in interviews. I felt abandoned.

Im in my thirties and I'm scared to rewatch the move in case even I think it sucks now. I'm all baseketball has left which is pretty pathetic. A thirty year old on reddit. That's all that movie has to show for itself at this point.

My point is every time they trash it on their show I'm reminded of all this.

The self-important, woe-is-me energy it takes to assert that you are the ONLY person left alive who likes Baseketball is breathtaking

[–] Last_Ambassador_2296@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Sorry if that offends you

[–] Fizzy_Bits@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I thought that was pretty funny, too. The only person? Cause I like it too so surely we're not the only 2 people out there...

What the fuck are you even talking about?

[–] Leaf1ty@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

its the best shitty movie there is

[–] mitch_conner86@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is 20 years a slave the sequel to 12 years a slave? And they made it a comedy? Sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out.

[–] Last_Ambassador_2296@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah it's pretty hardcore. Imagine the movie 12 years a slave but 8 more years.

[–] Cyno01@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Is Baskeketball not considered one of the great sports movies of all time? Its not quite Caddyshack or Rocky sure, but its definitely up there with like Rudy and Miracle and Happy Gilmore.

Top 5 sports comedy for sure.

That Steve Irwin joke in the episode Satan has a huge party. That was and still is, in my opinion, the lowest blow in southpark.

[–] tcorey2336@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That’s one of my favorite jokes on all of South Park. “Oh well, then, dude, no costume.”

[–] Nikeroxmysox@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They have another Steve Irwin joke in that season either before or after that episode too! Can’t remember which one tho, had it playing in the background one day just remember thinking it’s was pretty mean spirited back to back Steve Irwin slander lol

[–] BeginTheBlackParade@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It's Matt and Tre. Self deprecation is pretty much all they've got. If you ask them, they won't say South Park is any good either. They're like "It's a stupid show we made out of construction paper and has crappy voice acting!"

For the love of Giant Flying Spaghetti Monster, they literally have a disclaimer at the beginning of every episode that says "...This show should not be watched by anyone."

[–] Quiet-Razzmatazz6801@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ugh, dude, Kyle, you are sounding quite like your mom.

[–] MonkeyDDeclan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I saw it once when I was 17 and found it funny and refuse to watch it again at 28 out of your same fears. Luckily I can always go back to Team America

[–] selke61@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You need people to like it for you to still like it? It’s a great movie. The dumb ones usually are. Pick of Destiny was panned, yet, in my friend group it’s a movie we still quote and we sing the songs. These type of movies were never expected to be box office hits, they make them cause they know audiences will enjoy it. Comedies don’t usually fair well with critics, anyway.

[–] dumbshowreference@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The amount of people on this sub that don’t understand comedy/satire is shocking.

Quality post, OP.

[–] ikickedaboy@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Honestly, the amount of tone-deaf people here... I mean it's a South Park sub.

[–] mrmoviemanic1@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The most offended I've been by South Park was their very ill-timed joke of Steve Irwin's passing. It's not like it couldn't be funny and they themselves also make note that it's very ill-timed, but it just feels uncomfortable. I much prefer their follow-up jokes about it in that Mighty Ducks ripoff episode or one I did find funny being their Prehistoric Ice Man.

Did I just fart?

[–] crush_n_puss@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I don’t care what anyone says, it was funny then and it was funny when I watched it 3 weeks ago. Dude!

[–] NO_SPACE_B4_COMMA@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Imagine caring what other people think. Who gives a shit. I watched Baseketball last night while being stoned. It was great.

[–] Lhakryma@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The only thing I found offensive about south park was how they pussied out of showing mohamed.

[–] steen101984@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

If they rip on that movie, like 13 or 14 more times, I'm out of here.

[–] goalmouthscramble@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Kathleen Kennedy thinks you should shut up put a chick in it, make her gay

[–] Th31rishL4dd@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I honestly like it when they dog on themselves, even as a fan of Baseketball. If they're going to dish it out to everyone in Hollywood it's only fair that they're willing to turn that around on themselves.

[–] cortisolbath@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I feel sort of similar when Trey and Matt dismiss all of South Park Season 3 and earlier. Yeah sure it was fuckin stupid but it was unique to TV at the time, part of the transition from 90’s to 00’s and it’s why I started watching it. Issac Hayes as Chef? Kenny dying? It was all unique and funny back then.

And a lot of the SP since then is pretty crappy sometimes even if overall the show has staying power

Trey in particular seems to have a hard time knowing whether something is good or crap. Apparently he almost pulled the plug on several good episodes inc the Warcraft one. And yet Tegridy got a whole season

[–] Communalmilk@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

BASEketball was a sweet movie

[–] JackieTree89@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It's still hilarious

[–] stealthkoopa@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

something about when christopher reeve cracks a fetus' neck open and sucks out the stem cells just gives me the shudders.

[–] Fizzy_Bits@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hey man, I'm on your team! I love me some Baseketball and have really never understood the hate, especially from the creators! You're not alone 🤘 we're holding it down

[–] Far_Sky_29131@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I hear you, man. Baseketball was one of my favorites growing up too. Comedy is subjective though - what makes some people bust a gut leaves others stone-faced. At the end of the day it's just a movie, and we've still got the memories. Stay strong, Baseketball bro!

[–] CDPR_Liars@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

South Park laughs about every single thing in this world, especially religion, politics and "elders". But will you abandon your faith, political views or age? ...well, you can, but obviously not only because of a humor, jokes or catholic love for little boys.
