Trey Parker is credited as the writer for the vast majority of episodes of South Park, especially since Season 4. Most of their episodes are topical these days, I recommend checking out the recent Pandemic Special.
Matt, Trey and a guy named Robert Lopez wrote the theatre production Book of Mormon, which was well received and won Tony awards (Trey studied Musical Theatre in College, which explains why the South Park Movie was a musical).
Trey's daughter was cast as Jared Kushner in Sassy Justice, which was hilarious, and the lead in Sassy Justice is played by Peter Serafinowicz [0], who is a British comedian!
I hope they make more of these, not just because I'm a fan, but because it massively disseminates the power of deepfakes!

- Schiphol 6y agoThat Robert Lopez also wrote the awesome Avenue Q musical, and co-wrote the Frozen songs with his wife. He is also the youngest person to achieve an EGOT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_won_Academy%2C_Emmy%2C_Grammy%2C_and_Tony_Awards?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_won_Ac...).
- 01100011 6y agoI saw the pandemic special and, I don't know, it just didn't seem funny to me. I still watch Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics every year when I decorate the tree, and I still love what they did up until around season 12. After that it gets hit-or-miss and after a few more seasons just didn't seem worth watching anymore. I'd chalk it up to getting older and not smoking pot anymore, but I still love their old stuff.
