What are Trey Parker and Matt Stone really like?

I haven't but I got sucked into reading some online discussion about Trey Parker and his stripper girlfriend that was just sordid. Basically Trey was betrayed by a high school/college girlfriend and so wounded that he thinks all women are whores and only dates strippers now. His current stripper and he are huge drug addicts with coke being their favorite. He's supposed to be an asshole/workaholic too.

I have a friend who works for Matt and thinks he is great.

I thought Trey Parker was married.

Oops--my mistake: he WAS married, but just for two years (2006-08).

Now he lives with a stripper named Boogie Tillmon. Here are the two of them at the Grammys.

That is some forehead!

Who cares if he took a stripper, I just think it's sweet that he wore his granpa's shoes.

Parker is one of those guys who throws how rich he is in the faces of women who dissed him when he was a nobody.

This Cracked article mentions his drunken meltdown on the commentary track of Cannibal: The Musical. Apparently he's still bitter over a woman dumping him 15 years earlier (Cartman's slut mom is named after her).

Parker looks like an asshole. It looks like he's wearing a codpiece under his jeans in the first photo.

[quote]They seem like they would be given their politics.

It's almost unbelievable that idiots like OP are STILL laboring under the delusion that they're Republicans, even though they constantly pillory Repugs on their show.

Nobody thinks that they are Republicans, R9. Everyone knows that they claim they are Libertarians, which are far worse than Republicans.

I never once said that they were Republicans, you stupid fuck. By "given their politics," I meant because they're libertarians.

Trey is gay

Trey is moody and hot and cold. He can be very nice and then a complete asshole. Matt is the more normal one.

Having a few policies that don't suck is no excuse for the rest of the loony positions of Libertardians. Sorry - you can't sell that shit here, kid.

Matt had the most beautiful ass I've ever seen on a man in that one movie. I just hope it wasn't an ass stand-in.

r4 All his money and power, and SHE'S the best he could do? Bow-wow.

"... and this show was pro-gay from day one."

No, not really. Surprised you think so given all the horrible gay stereotypes and one of their early shows making Streisand some kind of Godzilla creature, not because of her ego, but because she wanted to boycott Colorado for an anti-gay law they passed.

They're right-Libertarians too, the worst kind. They used to admit to being Republicans, before it became fashionable identify as Libertarians. That's what makes the right-Libertarians, also the quote about them hating Republicans but REALLY hating liberals.

And thank you r18, they have admitted that is the origin of their obsessive hatred of Streisand. They said she's the only celeb they really hate, and that's the reason they gave for it.

The show is probably funny sometimes, after all it's stayed on so long, but I refuse to watch it because of their politics.

Trey and Boogie had a baby girl whom they names Betty. She's the spitting image of Trey.

At first glance they can easily seem like assholes, but I actually think they're both pretty genuine guys. I like them.

Trey was so hot, just shows you what happens when you get rich.

Which one was Clooney in love with?

There is some nice and some nasty assed, hatefull shit being said here. I met the guy (Trey) randomly in Santa Monica. Totally laid back and cool. Also, I am sorry to say, people tell you that you're the shit long enough, it will go to your head eventually. Let alone that we are all assholes at times.

The difference is simple.

Matt likes to boogie oogie oggie, while Trey also likes to boogie oogie oogie, but he keeps at it, till he just can't boogie no more.

"The show is probably funny sometimes, after all it's stayed on so long, but I refuse to watch it because of their politics."

With a restrictive attitude like that towards arts and entertainment, it's easy to see why you'd hate libertarians.

Trey is the brains and soul behind South Park.

He basically writes all the scripts and you can tell his whimsical sensibility and love of musicals permeate the show. Behind all the toilet humor, there's a very endearing heart to his characters, not unlike the Peanuts gang. I know that's sacrilege to say, but the Shultz's influence is very much there if you look for it.

He also has an amazing understanding of narrative structure...both how to use it and parody it.

Matt should consider himself very lucky he met Trey and hitched his wagon to his star.

Trey always gives him credit and they are an unbreakable team, but you can tell Trey is the creative force and talent behind it all...which Matt often owns up to.

Matt his simply his buddy from college he bounces ideas off of and jokes with while stoned.

I always got the sense that Trey was a tortured soul, like most artists are. Crazy but with flashes of brilliance, and that Matt was the sane cynic who kept him grounded and spiraling out.

When I see Trey talk about Matt, I also get a sense that there might've been a tiny tinge of longing on Trey's part for his friend. I wouldn't be surprised if he was bisexual.

Thanks for stopping by, Trey at R26,

They would never take on and expose shit like the Clintons and Jeffrey Epstein, Alan Dershowitz et al. They can ridicule scientology or even Mohammed, but these boys color within the lines, per their corporate masters' decree.

[quote] They're right-Libertarians too, the worst kind.

Exactly. They both think they're so politically savvy, but they are just assholes who criticize pretty much everyone and everything.

Chronic complainers, just like all the other republitards and libertards.

I love how the linked photo shows his real name... TILLMON PARKER. No wonder he hates himself!

South Park stopped being funny ages ago, when they stopped focusing on the characters, and started focusing on politics and current events.

The characters were actually funny and interesting, but their political commentary is lame.

That show should have ended at LEAST five years ago.

You might think south park is not funny but The Book of Mormon grossed 200 million dollars, South Park has netted them 300 million (I happen to think South Park is still funny)...

i have worked with both of them. Trey is...um....special. High maint and obsessive. Matt is his yang. He keeps him calm.

Trey is hot. Is the other one too? Unfortunate about the shoes though.

R28 poor thing. You still want the supposed scandal to happen

They manged to make one of the funniest movies ever made,with a great score, "South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut". I never heard bigger laughs all through a movie, and then followed up with one of the worst,"Team America: World Police". You could hear crickets in the theater in NYC Opening day, and I'm not even taking into consideration the rampant homophobic and AIDS jokes.

Link, R18, to "where they used to admit..." I would be interested to see that admission.

How can Matt's wife stand to be married to him if he's a right-wing nut?

I love Team America and South Park. If anybody thinks Trey Parker and Matt Stone are homophobic they have no idea what real homophobia is. I don't give a fuck what they stick their dicks into. Trey's social commentary is brilliant and hilarious.

R35 - That is a MYTH that started with the "Team America - World Police" movie. People who do not understand comical satire took that movie to be some kind of Republican manifesto / revenge movie - when, it was in fact, the complete opposite.

The bottom line of that movie was clear (and NOT politically biased to ANY ideology).

Gary learns from the drunk in the bar: See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

At the end, Gary realizes that he and Team America are: We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

They said they were Republicans in an old Playboy interview. I can't find any links to it that aren't behind a paywall. They never made fun of the myriad Bush scandals. Nothing. Instead we got shit like Al Gore and Man Bear Pig. They are Republicans.

there is a term called South Park Republican that describes them..

they are quoted as saying they hate conservatives but they REALLY HATE liberals...

I loved Team America.

Where else have you seen a puppet pooping?

Necro Bump, whatever.

I notice that Trey's nose is collapsing. Look closely.

They did used to be registered Republicans. They admitted it with their That's My Bush sitcom, because people assumed the show was anti-Bush. They clarified that they both voted for him, and wanted to do something more subversive, make people like him. So now they're libertarians, same difference, they're right-wingers and I hate them.

That's disappointing to know R42. I guess they are entitled to their political beliefs. I still love their show.

But my point is that Trey's nose is collapsing on itself. And I thought his girlfriend/wife was pregnant? Did she miscarry or something?

They are people who should have learned more than they have for the amount of information they have processed.

I love the South Park guys and the fact that they are beholden to no party.

Amazing social commentary.

R42 is full of shit.

Do you think they did each other in college?

R47, why do you have to be such a masturbatory freak? Get the fuck out of DataLounge now!

Parker was a musical theater bottom since early childhood, played in the chorus of "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," so it's likely.

Matt Stone IS a registered Republican, and they regularly trash liberals on their show for bullshit reasons.

Pro Iraq invasion, anti-Al Gore because global warming is just a "manbearpig" = global warming deniers, anti-zoning laws because Walmart should have the freedom to build as much or anywhere they can buy, etc.

Here is R48, perched on her stool outside the DL main entrance, determining that "masturbatory freaks" have no place here. She brings her dog because it's a good lead-in to her mother having had a cancer scare in 1978.

She is what is known as a useless cunt who thinks a silly post deserves her invective, name-calling and banishment proclamation.

Yes, she is typical, along with the anti-trans hate speakers, the gun nuts, the "I hate all Muslims including gay ones" freepers, the racists, and the humorless SJWs.

But that doesn't mean she isn't a cunt.

One of my good friends actually works for Matt..he's a good guy.

Trey and matt are the best. VERY pro gay, too.

What R51 said to the asshat at R48 works for me. I mean, it's all in good fun. R48 is a cunt.

The children get so upset when they are called out for being children.

This lounge is for adult gay men only, kiddo.

I know both Trey and Matt. Neither is a republican and neither one is political. Matt's sister is a social worker and he funds the family center which she runs. I'm pretty sure Matt's sister is a lesbian. His mother is great -- very smart, ultra liberal. His father was a beloved economics professor and lawyer at a public university in Denver; he wrote "Core Economics" for any of you who took Econ "200" as an undergrad.

Trey's sister runs an animal rescue operation which he fully funds. People were really critical when he hooked up with Boogie but they've built a nice family. Trey adopted Boogie's son and they subsequently had a daughter, Betty (named for his grandmother).

Both guys give a lot of money to charities and to individuals and they still have more $$ than fu****g God. They're super great to their employees. My daughter worked for South Park Studios about ten years ago and it remains her favorite professional experience (she's now a lawyer). Some of the posters here are really talking out of their asses but the best thing about M&T is that they just don't care.

Thank you R56.

The ridiculous petty anger that is often pointed toward Trey and matt here is so wrongheaded.

They're great dudes. And South Park is brilliant social commentary.

Is Trey a coke head like they say?

[quote]They both think they're so politically savvy, but they are just assholes who criticize pretty much everyone and everything.

Sounds just like DLers and everyone else on this planet.

[quote]Chronic complainers, just like all the other republitards and libertards.

Bossy bottoms. Big Bush supporters.

His nose looks like he got a hold of that coke that was cut with cattle wormer. I thought wealthy people would be immune to that

Both must be incredibly wealthy.

I wonder is Seth McFarlane is wealthier? I bet he is.

I hate their conservative anti-gay politics. The show stopped being funny when they started injecting their republican beliefs.

R63 You have no idea what you're talking about. They're both very very pro-gay and they are not Republicans.

Team America is so so funny.

Matt has really gotten hotter as he's aged.

R61 what's that?

Okay r61, I looked it up, and you know what? Forget I asked.

Neither one of these guys are hot. So average white guy. If they're hot so is Ed O'Neil on Modern Family.

Trey was hot in 1997.

He's 47 this year, according to wiki...

Liberal hating assholes.

r64 Watch South Park sometimes, I think it's quite obvious where their allegiances lie.

R73 I love South Park and I know Trey and matt have a very strong independent streak and are beholden to no party. They made it quite clear last season that they're no fans of Trump.

Hard to read the above. I was one of the first to go into MORMON after the opening run. Meet both guys, found them cool. Hot, even. They certainly knew what they wanted.

What the hell is wrong with his nose?

R76 it's collapsing from coke abuse.

I got tired of waiting around for these 2 homophobes to do something with balls years ago. They are low-ballers hiding behind the outrage of third-grade toilet humor.

They go after both political parties. They do satire.

Used to see Matt running along Ballona creek in Marina Del Rey. I was usually running or biking and he always nodded and smiled at me. Perhaps it was bc I was usually in a Lycra skinsuit? Just kidding. I think he was just being kind.

When does Season 20 of South Park start? I've watched all the episodes on Hulu and I'm bored.

September 14, R81.

Good R82, I cannot wait.

[quote]They go after both political parties.

Honey, they hate liberals. Liberals have always been their #1 target. They've gone on record about it, made films about it. They are no friend of the gays either, especially not after their episode trying to convince the masses that saying "That's so gay" isn't homophobic. Now kindly fuck off.

R84 don't forget the episode where they say using the word fag is perfectly fine because it's not anti-gay.

They are still funny and not beholden to either liberals or conservatives. Team America is a fucking delight because it savages both with gusto. Who didn't get that?

Some of you need to retreat to your safe space.

You GO R86! I love these partisans who feel the need to obsessively label everyone one way or the other. Trey and Matt have a pragmatic, common sense view of the world. Often the targets of their satire are conservatives, and sometimes they target liberals. They seem to have no problem whatsoever with Obama, but they seem not to be fans of George W. or Hillary.

I'm gay as a goose and I ADORE Trey and Matt. Fuck you if you think I'm somehow being a bad gay for thinking that way. I could care less.

I like them. I don't always agree with them and some episodes aren't that good but South Park is one of the best shows out there. Better than The Family Guy or The Simpsons.

Do any of you find Big Gay Al and Mr Garrison offensive?

I don't r89. I know some folks do. But South Park rags on everybody-white people, black people, Asians everyone. They don't tiptoe around anyone's feelings.

Test

They are from Colorado and suffered oxygen deprivation to the brain as children. 'Nuff said.

The show was okay when it was just about 4 foul mothed kids, now every story has to have a moral. They take a story in the news and take it to the most extreme degree and then moralize over it. Big deal.

Obviously I meant "mouthed" not "mothed" at R93.

They had how many thousands of Bush scandals (gay hooker at the White House, his general stupidity, phony war, Katrina, etc etc etc) to make fun of and commentary on and instead we get "Manbear Pig" Serially. They're right wing republican assholes and laugh free.

[quote]I know both Trey and Matt. Neither is a republican and neither one is political.

Followthemoney lists Trey as having donated to Republican candidates, R56. They've stated they hate liberals. The term "South Park Republican" started with Andrew Sullivan who heard them make pro-Republican comments at an awards show. Parker and Stone go out of their way to publicly slam noted celebrity liberals in interviews (i.e. not on the show) but I can't find a single example of them doing the same to a noted celebrity conservative. The National Review has written articles praising the politics on South Park. Stone was a registered as recently as 2010 as a Republican.

You obviously aren't a regular here -- censoring yourself is a dead giveaway -- and you just sound like a shill. So if you can pass on a note to your employers, please tell them that Trey needs to lay off the coke because his nose is about to implode. Thanks.

Last season's Southpark was EXCEPTIONALLY good. One of their best ever. PC Principal, Shipatown, gentrification of Kenny's neighborhood, fucking brilliant season. Trey has an incredible eye for satire, he just absolutely NAILS it almost every time. Amazing talent.

Announcing "The Residences" at The Lofts at SoDoSoPa...

R96 is stuck in 1998. As the show has grown, it has gotten more politically complex. They do satire better than almost everyone.

I fucking hate people who sit there was a liberal/conservative scorecard. You come off like a pinch faced scold.

This is why their product has gotten so bad. They surround themselves with enablers like the sycophants on this thread.

R100 I have never met Parker or Stone but I sure a fuck admire them. Open your mind. Not everything has to be one way or another.

And, the product isn't bad. I will admit that they've had so-so seasons, but the most recent one was absolutely brilliant.

Newsmeat had their political donations up. All RNC and Republican candidate donations. A few million donated by each of them.

"I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals." - Matt Stone

I save complexity for complex people R101. There's nothing remotely interesting or intelligent about these people.

R102 go fuck yourself. They did not give a cent to any Republican in 2016. Jesus, it must be miserable to be you. "They don't fall in line and AGREE with everything I think, so I HATE THEM". I feel bad for whatever poor soul is stuck with you as a boyfriend.

R102 LIES. Not a single contribution from either of them. You think just because you use the name of the website that will impress people to think what you're saying is true? This just shows how full of shit you are in general.

R103 That quote is from the '90s. They've both evolved. And, I know exactly what he means. There is a certain element of liberals that can be very annoying or off-putting. I get it.

Bottom line: they're independent thinkers, who don't fall in line with any political party and do brilliant satire. And they did some of the best work of their career in season 19 of South Park. Which is amazing. No show is ever any good after like season 6. Love those dudes.

Can't believe anyone thinks South Park is complex satire, or that the creators political views aren't utterly transparent.

R107 have you seen season 19? The show is very different than it was in 1997.

Watch this vid. You can see how complex and layered the show has become.

Plus they are VERY gay friendly. They are allies.

People with more brain cells have moved on to Rick and Morty

I like Rick and Morty too.

Trey is getting divorced again, looks like he had a pre nup though.

I'm very surprised that Trey married twice ,he doesn't seem suited to that life at all. As far as I know Matt Is still married . I'm curious about their personalities as well, I would like to hear from anyone who's met them.

They are both actually very cool. They exist outside the usual "Hollywood Universe". My company has been doing business with them for years.

Two republican shitstains who ruined their own show by turning it into political dreck.

SP hasn’t been republican (if it ever was republican) in years

Team America: Police World Police makes fun of both sides, but clearly thinks republicans are the lesser of the two evils. They also didn't make fun of dubya nearly enough on the show during those years.
