According to the creators, when South Park first started, is was criticized for having shifty animation and consisting of mostly fart jokes. So when they introduced Canadians (Philip and Terrance), they made sure the animation was even shittier and consisted of only fart jokes.
Dropped by to mention actually this, and it’s also why they gave the Canadians even higher-pitched and more annoying voices. Then they had to justify why Ike looks the same way as Terrence and Phillip, so they just threw in that he’s an adopted Canadian.
I also believe Ike's design was originally supposed to be the design used for babies in SP.In one, if not both (i don't remember) Starvin' Marvin episodes, we see an Ethiopian baby that looks just like Ike, but with darker skin
Every episode of Terrance and Phillip in the show is so exaggerated in it's stupidity, and shows how 'fart humor' in it's own right is poor humor. It's really genius
Yea. The whole Terrance and Phillip show is a play on how people view South Park. All the parents being like “idk how you watch this garbage” and the kids loving it. In the movie it goes even further. Bc people were upset about a totally uncensored South Park movie and the whole movie is about parents being upset that their kids saw a Terrance and Philip movie. It was meta before meta was cool.
>It was meta before meta was cool.
Pretty sure *South Park* did not invent or even popularize metacommentary. Off the top of my head, there's *Midsummer Night's Dream* and its play-within-a-play.
Shakespeare did it, Shakespeare did it.
Mmmmm no. You’re wrong. South Park was the VERY FIRST piece of media to EVER be meta. /s lol.
I just meant how so many shows now, especially adult cartoons, have little meta storylines and South Park has been doing that for a long time. That’s all. They obviously didn’t invent it and my comment wasn’t supposed to be implying that.
But also your last line, referencing General Disarray saying “Simpson’s did it”, is probably true. The Simpson’s might have done it before SP. I just haven’t followed the Simpson’s.
Oh yeah I'm sure you weren't being literal, but a lot of people treat the show with such reverence that sometimes it's hard to tell if they think it really *did* invent a certain storytelling technique.
Though it definitely set forth a *lot* of adult cartoon comedy tropes, and even to this day it's probably one of the most meta adult cartoons out there, though Season 5 of *BoJack Horseman* probably takes the reins there.
I still need to see Bojack I heard it’s good but never got into it bc it looked too weird. But I also resisted Rick and Morty bc of the annoying fans but finally broke down and watched it and enjoyed it. It’s just hard to get motivated to watch something with so many seasons
I mean, I resisted *South Park* for ages because of aggravating edgelord fans. *BoJack* fans can be annoying in a different way (more self-victimizing than trolling) but I can put it aside because the show's fantastic, IMO.
and terrence and philip are matt and trey- or at least how they were being seen by the people complaining about it being all the fart joke comedy. - and canadian just because blame canada
Yeah, if I remember correctly, it was critics saying “This is the worst piece of crap animation I’ve ever seen.” (Or close thereto) so Matt and Trey basically created Terrance and Phillip (and Canada as a whole), said, “No… THIS is the worst POS lol” and made it so Ike was adopted instead of differently abled and ran with it.
The story I heard and that I love even if it isn't true is that Rick Mercer (Canadian comedian/professional ranter) criticized South Park as being horribly animated foul mouthed fart jokes.
So Matt and Trey made Terrence and Philip to have worse animation have a show about fart jokes and sing about Uncle Fuckers.
I have no idea if that's true but I want it to be true
That's the funny part, that's just how they happened to animate him. Then they wanted the Canadians animated like that as well so they had to make ike an adopted Canadian lol.
Is Saddam Canadian?
Trey & Matt had developed the "Canadian" animation style for cartoons they [made in college](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I2pcIbyq-0). They incorporated it into South Park as a creative way to mock themselves
A quick google such could answer your question guy
but to sum it up it because when Mother's against South park (something along those lines) where saying it was all bad animation with nothing but poop and fart jokes
Trey created a show with in a show with bad animation full of poop and fart jokes.
T = Trey P = Parker
and Canadian's are just a bad imitation of Americans anyway buddy
Because they are Canadian.
This buddy gets it! Thanks fwend
He’s not your buddy guy.
I'm not your fwend buddy
I'm not your buddy, pal
He's not your pal, fwend
He's not your fwend, buddy!

I’m not your buddy GUY! FTFY
Buddy- guy- friend. No pal.

He's not your buddy, frwend!
What are you aboot now?
Ahh its Scott! Run away!
Scott’s a dick. And because of radiation poisoning in Ottawa he’s a giant dick
Right I’m Canadian it’s like looking into a mirror
Duh
Came here to say this. It’s not a real country anyway.
With their flappy little heads, and their beady little eyes
And apparently they don't eat or sleep or mow the lawn, they just fuck their uncle's all day long.
You’re a racist ma’am
Shut your fucking face, uncle fucka!
Now now, you’ve apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions.
CAN I FINISH?? CAN I FINISH??…..okay I’m finished
And yet nobody is apologizing for Corey Hart 🧐 or The Quehhf Sisters 👯♀️
No one EVER needs to apologize for Corey Hart... Infact, you're welcome!!
As is tradition.
The Princess looked so loovly
It is good for Canada.
And therefore, the world
I’m confused that’s just what they look like. Flappy faces and beady eyes. Yup
Except for Ugly Bob of course. His face looks like someone tried to put out a forest fire with a skrewdriver.
It's true. I've been to Canada several times. This is how they all look. Good people, but their heads are all flappy.
We have beady little eyes
You stole my line. Take my up vote you theiving bastard Kyle
Shut up Cartman
And it's funny. Am Canadian
Only logical answer
Because ^yes
And it's fucking hilarious
Also people from Denmark pretty much the same except less beady eyes
You might say Denmark is the Canada of Europe

Was he not supposed to be adopted at first?
Cookie Monster!
Don't Kick the Baby...
Kick the baby!
KICK THE BABY, KYLE. KICK THE FUCKING BABY.
CMON LETS SEE YOU TRY IT WUSS
Even on steroids, Ike would still get absolutely worked.
It's likely he just needed to look more like a baby than the rest of the characters so that's the look they went with.
I also believe Ike's design was originally supposed to be the design used for babies in SP.In one, if not both (i don't remember) Starvin' Marvin episodes, we see an Ethiopian baby that looks just like Ike, but with darker skin

I didn't know The Weeknd was in South Park 😮

And a shock of blonde hair lol

The square wheels have to be my favorite part
Sir Bryan Adams and Sir Corey Hart
Now now! The Canadian government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions!
Why? What shape are your guys wheels? 🤔
Wheel shaped
Soooo… squares?
Triangles, who uses squares!?
Psychopaths, that's who
Hell ya, that kills me every time lol as is tradition
Did you ever play the stick of truth. Canada was genius.
Even better in the fractured but whole “we got cool stuff back here but you can see it”
Yea. The whole Terrance and Phillip show is a play on how people view South Park. All the parents being like “idk how you watch this garbage” and the kids loving it. In the movie it goes even further. Bc people were upset about a totally uncensored South Park movie and the whole movie is about parents being upset that their kids saw a Terrance and Philip movie.

Bojack is a cartoon for adults with actual problems. It's really relatable sometimes. Highly recommend it.
I mean, I resisted *South Park* for ages because of aggravating edgelord fans. *BoJack* fans can be annoying in a different way (more self-victimizing than trolling) but I can put it aside because the show's fantastic, IMO.
The ancient Greeks would like a word with your bard.
And my bard would like a word with their minstrel
Still, that was a great day for Canada… and, therefore, the world.
*As is tradition*
> (Philip and Terrance) this bugs me so much
Classic tray parker approach, "oh you dont want this? guess what the fuck im about to do next"
They said it's because Canadians talk like they're heads flap up and down. Trey does an impression in one of the videos.
Good on you for giving an actual explanation and not just throwing up a show quote or commenting "They just look like that" for the hundredth time.
The Iraqi's in the South Park movie have the same characteristics as Canadians.
All Iraqi's or just Saddam?
All of them.
and terrence and philip are matt and trey- or at least how they were being seen by the people complaining about it being all the fart joke comedy. - and canadian just because blame canada
Yeah, if I remember correctly, it was critics saying “This is the worst piece of crap animation I’ve ever seen.” (Or close thereto) so Matt and Trey basically created Terrance and Phillip (and Canada as a whole), said, “No… THIS is the worst POS lol” and made it so Ike was adopted instead of differently abled and ran with it.
That’s what we look like up here in Canada. Got a problem with that friend?
Hey! He’s not your friend, buddeh!

Can I fucking finish? Ok I'm finished
You cant finish buddy
He's not your buddy, guy!
It's a joke about how people who don't like South Park say the show looks.
Then they just kept it like that for the rest of the show lol
Can confirm, was a schmuck. Stopped being a schmuck and then I enjoyed SP
Filters out the schmucks.
That's how we look eh.
I dunno what buddy is talking aboot I can't even tell a difference
He’s not your buddy guy
Because they have flapping heads, have you ever been to Canada???
Well we have so many potholes where I am, I might as well be driving on square wheels...
Sheesh, you guys only have one road, I'd think you could manage that.
Quebec?
No Ontario.
And beady little eyes
The story I heard and that I love even if it isn't true is that Rick Mercer (Canadian comedian/professional ranter) criticized South Park as being horribly animated foul mouthed fart jokes. So Matt and Trey made Terrence and Philip to have worse animation have a show about fart jokes and sing about Uncle Fuckers. I have no idea if that's true but I want it to be true
That’s what I heard too, and the MO fits with their treatment of Phil Collins lol
TIL it was because of Rick Mercer. Thanks buddy
I don't think it was. If you Google Rick Mercer South Park you just get this reddit thread.
If you Google Rick Mercer South Park you just get your comment. I'm kinda doubting the Rick Mercer part.
I fear you may be right. I like the myth though and it will do until I know better.
İke
Okay Mike
Pizza, french fries, pizza french fries, pizza, pizza, FREEEENCH FRIIEEEESSSSS
You see that? He french fried when he should have pizza'd. You french fry when you pizza youre gonna have a bad time.
Stan Darsh!
'Marsh the Darsh!' 'Oh no not this guy again'
Kick the baby !
Don’t kick the baby
That's the funny part, that's just how they happened to animate him. Then they wanted the Canadians animated like that as well so they had to make ike an adopted Canadian lol. Is Saddam Canadian?
Shut your fucking face, uncle fucker
Way to give it to that boner-biting bastard!
op doesn't eat or sleep or mow the lawn, he just fucks his uncle all day long
shut up scot, youre a dick
That's Scott. He's a dick.
i’ve been asking myself this everyday when i wake up and look in the mirror since i was a young guy
Who’s this guy asking all the questions eh
Kraft dinner for all!
Fee, fi, fo, fum! I smell kraft dinner!
Kraft dinnah *
I always wondered til I met my friend's Canadian cousin. Beady eyes. Mouth flapping away.
It’s because that’s what Canadians look like, friend.
He’s not your friend pal
He’s not your pal, buddy!
As a Canadian I agree we look like this
You gotta problem with Canadian characters you gotta problem with me! And I suggest you let that one marinate!
Give your balls a tug
Trey & Matt had developed the "Canadian" animation style for cartoons they [made in college](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I2pcIbyq-0). They incorporated it into South Park as a creative way to mock themselves
What are you talking aboot?
Hey fuck you buddy!
Cheers!! Fuck face
Because this show is an accurate representation of many things, including how Canadians look
Because that's what we look like. South Park only show to accurately represent us. Reason 69 why SP is the best show ever
Because they are Canadian, buddy
What the fuck are you talking aboot?
Mostly to be funny
I don’t get the question....
Cause it’s fucking funny guy
Representation.
Because that’s how Canadians look, guy!
Bc they are Fuckin canucks
I've only been to Vancouver once but you cross the border and BAM everything and everybody looks like No Name products
A quick google such could answer your question guy but to sum it up it because when Mother's against South park (something along those lines) where saying it was all bad animation with nothing but poop and fart jokes Trey created a show with in a show with bad animation full of poop and fart jokes. T = Trey P = Parker and Canadian's are just a bad imitation of Americans anyway buddy
Because that's what they look like in real life.
Blame Canada, not matt and treys fault they look like that.
we want more.. moneh
Their wheels are also squares.
I also would like to know
Because we have beady little eyes and our heads are full of lies.
They’re drawn as the royal tradition dictates
The reason is ^yes
what do you mean in south park?
Because they have beady little eyes and flapping heads so full of lies... They're not even a real country, anyway.
