Baseketball was better.
I kept waiting for the movie to get funny.
It was as if they didn’t finish writing the movie.
I loved it, not perfect but it had it’s moments of brilliance…such as the big speech at the end. I’ll never forget that one
You know how in SP there’re all sorts of background/conetxtual jokes in the scenery and situations?
Well TAWP had lots of those. What I thought it was missing was the ‘real jokes’.
Yeah, there were some funny parts.
Perhaps I was just expecting too much.
I though that the end speech was a bit predictable. Maybe I should’ve been drunk when I went to see it.
The humor was low brow, lotsof junior high type stuff, and I loved every minute of it.
I laughed my ass off.
It certainly did have its moments but it was a bit slow at times. It was an interesting idea to play it straight – I’m sure it pained Parker and Stone to hold back so much. But the few times they did bust out, it just wasn’t too funny. I think they missed alot of opportunites, but overall: Thumbs up.
I had no idea Matt Damon was an antiwar activist. What was the joke about him saying “Matt Damon” like a retart? Did I miss something?
Didn’t miss anything, just a “random” nonsense joke
“Freedom isn’t free, it costs folks like you and me”
A bit on that near the bottom of this thread.
$1.05
…A hefty fuuuckin’ fee…
I laughed. More than once or twice. What more can I ask for a $6.00 matinee?
Well gotta go, I got quilting to do …
I was expecting this to be more political than it ended up being. And more like South Park, and less like high school. I found a few parts genuinely funny – mostly the action/spy movie parody aspects, like the training montage. (But I think there’s been at least one other movie that parodied that.) Probably the best line in the whole movie was Hans Blix threatening Kim Jong-Il with ‘serious consequences’ if he didn’t give up his weapons of mass destruction. For me, anyway – most people weren’t laughing.
There was some really gratuitous product placement that seemed to end (except for one scene) about a third of the way through the movie. I suppose one could say that was a parody of excessive product placement in Bond movies, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t getting paid for them.
At the end, I noticed that there was a third writer credited besides Parker and Stone. I wondered how much of the movie was actually written by ‘the creators of South Park’ – much of it really seemed to be just trying to be South Park.
There was one possible joke that I’m sure no one in the theater got – and maybe the creators don’t even know they made it. There’s a dogfight scene between Team America and a huge number of North Korean/terrorist planes. The planes resembled MiG-15 Fagots. Hee-hee, hee-hee. (Related jokes were made maybe a hundred other times, so maybe they did know.)
Saw it today. It was definitely low-brow, but there were some great jokes.
Some of my favorites:
“America is being attacked by a giant socialist weasel.”
The running joke about puppets and wooden acting.
The Pearl Harbor Sucks song.
And, of course, the final speech.
Although the scene in which Gary performs fellatio on Spottswoode could’ve been funnier.
Since everyone else is posting their favorite jokes, I’ll post mine. I’m not going to box it because those boxes are a real pain in the ass for non-IE browsers, so…
SPOILERS
One of the team is shooting for a terrorist with a shoulder mounted Surface-to-Air missle. He misses it, hitting the Eiffel Tower, which falls over and crushes the Arc-de-Triumph. Then he says, nonchalantly, “Damn, I missed.”
That scene was pure genius. It’s 100% unfunny and completely leaves you hanging and thinking: wtf 
? Then the payoff comes ten minutes later :D. Genius!
One of the funniest movies I’ve seen all year, up there with Anchorman. And that vomit scene… :eek:
Funniest movie of the year.
I laughed and laughed and laughed untill I could laugh no more, and then had to giggle in my head as I sat comatose in the theater chair. As I gained my ability to laugh again on the drive home, I burst out laughing again. Hysterical! I only wish there were more songs. My favorite one was “Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you”.
I remember hearing Michael Moore was supposed to do a song and dance. I was dissapointed to see there wasn’t such a scene
Favorite line:
“Your skills have decreased with age, Ms. Sarandon.”
I have to say that the first half was truly a riot, but the second half…
Huh, Tray. We get it already! You were raped as a youngster by the F.A.G, We did not need the last half to be about why you hate Hollywood! 
I was disappointed in the sense that I was seeing a good mix of left and right targets being shot during the first half (the whole “policemen of the world”, doing more harm that actual good, was excellent parody), the last half was just like “Fuck it, lets just show the left as traitors”. Disappointed in the sense that Tray and Parker had shown before the gift of being equal opportunity offenders, I would have loved to see Arnold Schwarzenegger make at least a cameo for fairness sake, but no.
Good for a matinee only.
Next Global Announcement “World Police on the Move”
At a theatre near you soon.

I gotta admit, the “America, fuck YEAH!” song cracked me right up, as did the “panthers”, but some jokes were beaten to death and well into the afterlife.
Also, it seemed pretty obvious to me that the limo driver was a female character wearing a fake mustache, but after the celebratory cocktail party he/she vanished, without explanation. I get the impression a scene was cut somewhere along the way.
Yea…the “signal” that the actor (as Hachmed) gave was one of the funniest gags in the movie, but they did it exactly one time too many.
I noticed that too. I hope the DVD of this is better than the suckfest, featureless Bigger, Longer, and Uncut DVD.
