Question:

Do you use storyboards alot or scripts?

Do you use storyboards alot or scripts? / a big fan

Answer

Both, actually. Here's how the production process works: First things first, Trey writes the scripts -- usually a scene or two at a time -- and then that script gets sent around to all the different departments. Storyboard begins immediately to sketch out and board the scenes, while Trey and Matt jump into the recording booth to lay down the audio they just wrote. Next the audio and storyboards are combined in to a sort of motion comic called an animatic. Once the animatic is approved, the storyboards get passed out to the Technical Directors (who set up the shots) and animators (who start animating). It's a pretty amazing, well-oiled machine here. And it's all done in-house, in America. Fuck yeah!

Question:

Why have Cartman's voice changed over the years?

Why have Cartman's voice changed over the years? Can you tell?

Answer

The change over the years has been a natural progression. And by that, I mean that Trey has done Cartman's voice since day one, and after 13 years, he still does. The voices were a lot more harsh and forced back in the day, but at this point when they read for characters, the voices just come out naturally. They don't even think about it. So what your hearing is Cartman in his natural state.

What happened to officer barbrady? I miss him!

Answer

Officer Barbrady is still working the beat. He's had some help in recent years from Sergeant Yates and the Park County Police Department, but Barbrady is still out there, trying to rid the streets of crime and be literate.

Question:

Is the phrase "haha charade you are" that Cartman makes frequent use of a hommage or such to the Pink Floyd album Animals, or is it a frase commonly used in English?

Is the phrase "haha charade you are" that Cartman makes frequent use of a hommage or such to the Pink Floyd album Animals, or is it a frase commonly used in English? Looking forward to your answer, sincerely yours.

Answer

Hells yeah, it's from that Pink Flyod album. More specifically from the song "Pigs (Three Different Ones)". Just because Cartman hates hippies, doesn't mean he's not down with the Floyd.

Question:

Is cartman's cat gay?

Is cartman's cat gay?? in the episode "cat orgy" he/she appears to be female, but in "major boobage" reveals it to be a male?

Answer

My guess is the Mr. Kitty is a hermaphrodite, just like Cartman's mom. Little bit of both worlds, with an extra side of cheese.

Question:

Does Cartman have deeper feelings for Kyle?

Answer

If by "deeper feelings", you mean "severe hatred", then yes. Although, it should be noted that even with this animosity, Cartman has saved Kye's life on multiple occasions. He gave him an (unwilling) kidney transplant in "Cherokee Hair Tampons" (407) and saved his whole family in "Smug Alert" (1002). But I'm telling you, he did it out of hate.

In a few of the seasons, the intro had a very short clip of a chef cutting off another chefs toungue.

In a few of the seasons, the intro had a very short clip of a chef cutting off another chefs toungue. Which episode was that;)?

Answer

I'm pretty sure you made that up. To my knowledge there is no episode or season intros where Chef cuts off another Chef's tongue. But keep smoking whatever your smoking, cuz it sounds like a blast.

Question:

Where are the kids who says "huh huh that's gay.

Where are the kids who says "huh huh that's gay.."? Miss them as well as Officer Barbrady!

Answer

You mean Fosse and Bill? They're probably busy playing "Gynecologist", as they did in "Lil' Crime Stoppers" (706). It's their favorite game. Don't worry though, those rascals are still around. Keep your eyes peeled and you might just catch 'em.

Question:

Will there be another SouthPark movie?

Answer

This is probably the most frequently asked FAQ of all time. And rightfully so, the first South Park Movie was so potent, we're all still recovering from the blow. Unfortunately, at the current moment, there are no plans for a second South Park Movie. But you never know what the future may bring, crazier things have happened...
