The South Park episode last week purported to explain the real origin of the Thanksgiving holiday. It included some double-entendre references to Natalie Portman, including the line “who knows more about stuffing than Natalie Portman?” The behavior of her character on the show also implies that she’s some kind of tease, as she refuses to “open her wormhole” even after a nice date with one of the boys.
Are Parker and Stone arbitrarily picking on Ms. Portman, or are these references to some specific things in her history?
According to Wikipedia, this relates to the movie Thor, in which Natalie played Jane Foster. I haven’t seen Thor, but maybe someone who did can say if she acts like that in the movie?
I haven’t seen the episode yet but I’m guessing it’s a bra-stuffing reference. Natalie Portman isn’t exactly a C-cup so it’s probably a joke based on why she appears to be more endowed than she really is in some movies or photos.
I saw the Thor reference in the Wikipedia page for that SP episode, but didn’t follow up. I haven’t seen the movie Thor, but now that I’ve read the wikipedia page for that movie, I see there was a wormhole (and a Natalie Portman) involved. All starting to make sense now; thanks.
This whole episode had me going, “Huh?!?” I though maybe they were making fun of Green Lantern (which I haven’t seen). Then just The History Channel. Then Natalie Portman. At some point I just gave up!
Still kinda funny, if a little derivative of other episodes. Funniest thing was the incredibly cute & coy way they had Natalie saying, “Mmmmmmm, No!” Loved that!
I saw both Thor and that episode. It was quickly apparent it was a Thor reference, but I didn’t immediately think the wormhole was a reference to anything in particular.
The scene where she hits Standish/Thor with the car is the most obvious. Also that he is from another planet with an odd cultural similarity to something in the earth’s past.
I thought the episode was pretty lame. Especially since they had such a ripe subject in the pseudo-history documentaries of the History Channel. They just took the lazy way out in concocting some interstellar war bit that they’ve done ten thousand times.
Why didn’t they have the History Channel people doing a documentary filming of an archeological dig on Plymouth Rock, have them find a can of Schlitz Malt Liquor there, and then do a whole hysterical show on how the Pilgrims could time travel? Build it up from there? Maybe the lost colony of Roanoke was destroyed by the Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull?
Show a little imagination.
