Talk:Terrance and Phillip

Wayne and Schuster

Why is there a "see also" for Wayne and Schuster?

I have a hard time understanding why this article belongs here. If it does, it should be merged into the South Park page, IMHO. matt 17:18 Feb 4, 2003 (UTC)

I've added a couple of sentences on the function of the show-within-a-show to try and give the article a bit more credibility. Kinitawowi 15:36, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)

Fiction or reality?

I believe there's a problem with the following passage:

The United States did not seek a UN resolution to invade Canadian territory, nor did it have a proper case of war citing self-defense.

The Canadians were victims of American racial discrimination for which the United States did not even make a case of just war.

It would appear that someone decided to protest against war in Irak by seizing the apparent similarities between the movie's plot and the current situation in Irak. The text seems a bit off-key and somewhat confrontational, and it also contributes very little to the understanding of the movie, since it brings in levels of complexity that are simply not part of the plot. As the South Park article on the movie correctly states, it's about parent's unwillingness to take responsibility for their children and the amazing links to which they are prepared to go to avoid facing it; not international politics and even less about the hard line U.S. government (which wasn't even in power when the movie was made, might I add).

Just adding my wholehearted agreement to that; in addition to the top-most point querying why this article exists at all and hasn't been merged into the main South Park article, a quick look through the edit history implies that the sole purpose of this article is as a troll to spout a rant against Iraq. In addition, the article is factually incorrect; The war was terminated when Satan and his consort Saddam made their appearance from Hell, awakening the two nations to their purposeless violence against each other. is nothing but inaccurate, pointless rhetoric; the war was effectively brought to an end by Kyle's speech to his mother, at which point she was the only one left fighting it.

But I digress. The article as it stands should probably be merged with the South Park article, or the South Park movie article at the very least.

Canadians

"virtually all Canadians" have funny heads? I've never noticed an exception (being one, I look pretty carefully). It makes me anxious to see how they pretend to be Canadian when they go to Afghanistan (here) 142.177.23.198 16:53, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

'k, just by the funny pronunciation, like that was gonna work. But there's an underlying something...

Saddam Hussein is presented as Canadian - not just the flapping head, as other characters with photo heads have had, but the rest of him is geometric and he's been heard saying that silly "aboot". In one episode he's ethe new Prime Minister. And when Jesus 'n' the boys go to rescue Santa from the Iraqis, a map of Canada appears on the sleigh's controls.

Why are they trying to equate Canada and Iraq? (I realise this isn't T&P but T&P is the most Canada-oriented SP page I know of...) Kwantus 02:59, 2004 Dec 25 (UTC)

The episode Fat Camp features Tom Green, a Canadian, but he doesn't have the flappy head.

I agree with the earlier comments by Redux and Kinitawowi. The movie made no reference to UN resolutions, radical discrimination, or just wars. Also the war was ended by Kyle's speech, not saddam and satan. I am removing the passages in question. DaveTheRed 07:47, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Reasons for introducing Terrance and Phillip

In my opinion Terrance and Phillip were introduced to the South Park universe when big debates were on in real life about South Park being a production that is just about fart jokes and foul language. Terrance and Phillip serve as an reflection on South Park itself, carrying reproaches to an extreme. Also, TP's animations are even worse than that of South Park.

I would be nice if someone comments on my claim and adds it to the article in case of it is true. Thanks, --Abdull 16:26, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

• I added a reference to the following quote by Trey: "Terrance and Phillip to us is us making fun of what the critics say South Park is. You know, because when we read these articles that say South Park is wall-to-wall fart jokes, that's all it is, it's like, no, here's wall-to-wall fart jokes." --Petko 15:20, 04 May 2007 (UTC)

tps or gst

when terrance phillip and scott are together on the screen in the not whitout my anus episode. it does TPS wich is taxes pour produit et services or in english it means Goods and services tax (GST).

the history of Terrance and Phillip should be included. they were introduced as a prank (April Fool's?). there was a cliffhanger episode where the identity of Cartman's father would be revealed in the "to be continued" episode. instead of the Cartman's father episode, an entire Terrence and Phillip episode was shown instead. comedy central received a lot of hate email about it, and aired the Cartman's father episode the following week.

Cartoon Wars II

In last night's episode, one of the boys (Not sure which one it was, but they were wearing the red shirt) was much fatter than usual.

O rly?

""Here" and "There" are sometimes changed to "Heeya" and "Theya"." Never in my travels aboot the nation have I heard a Canadian Say that. That is a feature of the Bristish accent. It is actually more prevalent in Sothern Americans. (not south americans) ...also cox. . .

• In reply to your message above, Canadians on South Park are always saying "aboot". Watch the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut to see.

Spelling of Terrance

Is it correct that Terrance was born as Terrence Henry Stoot, as the article currently says. Is the change in spelling of Terrance a typo? There are no sources so I can't check myself. Hobson 01:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

As nobody seems to be able to confirm the information was correct, and it seems unlikely to me, and there were no references that could have confirmed it, I have removed it. Hobson 10:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

How they look

My friend told me that the reason Terrance and Philip look the way they do is because that's how Canadian cartoons look. Can someone confirm this? If so, which cartoon is it? ForestAngel (talk) 16:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
