South Park Sends Steve Irwin to Hell
Posted by soultrance on Friday, October 27, 2006 at 9:55 pm
Hell hath no fury like Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the hit animated TV series, South Park. No one is safe when they start their search for a new target.
A recent episode of South Park featured recently deceased Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. Matt and Trey are anything but scared of hitting on touchy subjects, and they sure hit on one here. Steve Irwin’s death was so recent and so tragically unexpected that many South Park viewers are outraged over how quickly Matt and Trey turned their sights on the Crocodile Hunter. Just like Gilbert Gottfried making jokes about 9/11 shortly after the event, many see this targeting of Steve Irwin as coming to soon.
I, personally, don’t think it was that bad. It is awfully soon for them to be going after Irwin already, but they kept it short and didn’t go overboard with the bit. It was a tasteful as tasteful can be on South Park and, to be honest, it wasn’t even that funny by South Park standards. Steve Irwin’s run in with Ross the Intern of the Jay Leno show was a lot funnier in my opinion.
What did you think of the bit? If you haven’t seen it yet, watch it after the jump!
