Celebs have a tough go in the media. They are picked apart no matter what they do or who they are, and South Park doesn't hesitate to go for the jugular. Creators and voices Matt Parker and Trey Stone don't give a single fuck when they target a famous person; anyone and everyone is fair game. From the very beginning, they've taken on the biggest names in show business — but sometimes those celebs have something to say about being featured on the show. Here are some of the best responses to epic roasts.
The 11 Best Celeb Responses To Being Savagely Roasted On 'South Park'
When South Park comes for you, you're not leaving in one piece.
And usually the quotes from the show make it into our everyday lexicon.
I mean, I say "Feeling good on a Wednesday" even if it's Monday.
So if you're curious as to how some celebrities took the savagery, keep reading.
1. Martha Stewart — She taught her audience how to use a... natural female bodily function in their festive decorating.
When asked for her reaction to the episode, she declared, "I thought it was really cute!" This is why Snoop Dogg likes her.
2. Carlos Mencia — He stole the fish stick joke, guys! And they punished him for it. They basically did every possible horrible thing to him.
Mencia tweeted, "They just made fun of me on South Park. I thought it was hysterical. Catch the rerun." That is extremely cool.
3. Rob Schneider — They took a swipe at Rob with his choices of movie roles. "Rob Schneider is... a carrot!"
He decided he liked it. "I thought it was hilarious that they made fun of me! Who do they make fun of? Tom Cruise. And me? Okay, I'm in pretty good company." Translation: Da Derp Dee Derp Da Teetley Derpee Derpee.
4. Jay Cutler — Upon meeting Cutler in the show Stan said, "Nice to meet you! I mean, you kind of suck, but my dad says you might be good someday."
Cutler reportedly said, "It was cool. I thought it was funny. They can make fun of me if they want to." Those million dollar paychecks probably help soften the blow.
5. Lorde — They said she was actually a 45-year-old male geologist from Colorado.
Lorde replied, "That was really funny! ...I was thinking, 'Yeah he has a mustache... I mean I have a mustache, but is it that prominent?'"
6. Dog the Bounty Hunter — Cartman took on Dog's persona when he became a hall monitor.
Dog lurved it. "One fun aspect of having my hit show was to be spoofed on South Park... I loved Cartman being Dog the Hall Monitor," he wrote in his book You Can Run but You Can't Hide, "Our whole family laughed when we saw the show."
7. Snooki — Another reality star that South Park portrayed in a not-so-flattering light.
But she was completely flattered and tweeted, "snooki want smoosh smoosh. im going to have nightmares tonight lmao!!! we've officially made it."
8. Bob Saget — They made fun of all the tame jokes he used to make as host of America's Funniest Home Videos.
He said, "It hurt and felt good at the same time. Like most of my relationships." Exactly what you'd expect from a comedian.
9. Steven Spielberg — South Park took jabs at George Lucas and Spielberg for constantly remastering what was great out of their movies.
Steven had a sense of humor, saying, ""I loved it. It was great! George Lucas sent it to me and I watched it with my kids and my kids loved it."
10. Stevie Nicks — She was literally a goat that constantly bleated.
"Yes, I was a little goat in a cape. But who cares? It was hysterical. The fact is, they sent the whole army in to get me." Nicks is the friggin coolest.
11. Wing (the wife of City Sushi owner Tuong Lu Kim) – She apparently had the voice of an angel?
She took it like a champ and thanked the guys because her album sales for Wing Sings ABBA had skyrocketed after the episode aired.
Bonus. Kanye West - responds 'humbly' to South Park fish sticks slam
Now, we're fairly certain that the Kanye of old would've flown into a fit of rage over his portrayal on the show. But West took a different tact, posting a link to the show his blog, and writing (in ALL CAPS, of course) that he wasn't upset, because he used the episode as motivation to display some new life skills. He said:
" 'South Park' murdered me last night, and it's pretty funny. It hurts my feelings, but what can you expect from 'South Park?'" "I actually have been working on my ego. ... Having the crazy ego is played out at this point in my life and career. I used to use it to build up my esteem when nobody believed in me. Now that people do believe and support my music, the best response is 'Thank you' instead of 'I told you so!'
"I just wanna be a doper person, which starts with me not always telling people how dope I think I am. I need to just get past myself. Drop the bravado and just make dope product," the post continued. "As long as I act like a b---h, this type of sh-- will happen to me. ... I'm not actually a huge douche. I'm sure the writers at 'South Park' are really nice people in real life. Thanks for taking the time to draw my crew. That was pretty funny also."
Perhaps someone should've called him a "gay fish" sooner.
SHARE if you think these celebs took it like champs!
