General Comment This song is such a great parody of patriotic country songs. It basically takes their message and puts it in words that describe the sentiment better and makes me laugh. So good. The music in their movies is always great. Freedom costs a buck 'o five Jimmifrisbee on May 22, Link.
General Comment they should play this during speeches given by bush. General Comment This song is halarious. Especailly the singing. Does the live "freedom cost a 1. General Comment I thought it was "Fuck. My Interpretation The general meaning of the song is as follows. However, in short, the song is bashing current era politics in the sense that they claim improving foreign policy is hard when in fact it really isn't.
Alluding to the phrase; "Freedom Costs a buck 'o five. Freedom Isn't Free I believe is a bash against common era governments U. As many people may think, Trey Parker and Matt Stone would never have meaning in their songs but they're actually very intelligent guys. I believe it's a bash particularly on the American government because it's got the whole patriotic American country genre. The main thing I believe it revolves around in the issue of peace and freedom for all in the world.
The American government among others constantly insist of how hard freedom is to achieve and how grateful we should be; while America is or has been in other countries imperializing countries however you see it. Example: Nicoragua, Cuba, Iraq. Anyway what I'm ultimately getting at is the line repeated in the chorus etc: "Freedom costs a buck o' five. This I believe because I think Trey and Matt know that it's a lot simpler than the government makes it sound.
And if we were all to make a small sacrifice literally freedom and peace could be achieved for all. But to the American government - a dollar fifty is way too much! Read the lyrics again now understanding my interpretation. Over-analyze much? It's actually really simple. It's a parody of an uber-nationalist country song, but it's not really satirical.
The whole movie is a satire, but the song rings true to the American extremist characters. It's saying if everyone pays there taxes and "dues", they'll have freedom and democracy. Might as well ask Weaseloid: he seemed opposed to it and he's one of the big-wigs here. You might want to defend why importing content from this article to any of the above would stand if in several months somebody like Sophie shows up with a machete like she did with Northwest Territory , or Stabby vapping it entirely.
I, for one, might not be there to exhort her to put it down. I did my bit with this article and its defense. Which ones? It was in the now deleted article.
But I guess I've lost the popularity contest. What is a greater waste of time: my watching Team America or editing here? I'm leaving for a while before I get ticked. Nominations and campaigning for the RationalWiki Moderator Election is underway and will end on November Jump to: navigation , search. If you wanna merge, how should we go about it? Take the little bit from the lede here that's workable, and delete the rest of this lazy, lousy, listing nonsense.
Instead of actually analyzing their TV show and movie and maybe other works, huh? Weaseloid didn't think South Park was on mission. I always thought Team America was mocking Jingoism, not embracing it. For example, there's all those priceless cultural icons blown up for the sake of stopping a few arabs, thus depicting Murricans as reckless and stupid.
Also, the song "Freedom isn't free costs a buck 'o five " is blatant mocking of the Murrican ideal of freedom and the idea of fighting for it that is always touted by jingoistic personages. See, that's the thing about them. Their humour is always easily interpretable and reinterpretable for or against one side. That's how a lot of their comedy works, deliberately so, I believe.
That sounds reasonable. I am amused that the author feels south park is positive about the gays. Mr garrison has been such a good role model for me. Let's put the Team America into an article that was a redirect because it was considered to be off-mission. Yeah, Parker and Stone are mock American jingoism because they're anti-liberal. They are somewhat pro-gay, I think. Talk to Civic Cat , 5 November UTC I don't know what their personal opinions are, but if they are pro gay in their body of work, its hidden well.
Doesn't strike me as homophobic. Funny yes, homophobic, not so much. They even had an episode redefining fag as being annoying and nothing at all to do with homosexuality. He's a big gay stereotype but he's so absurdly overdone its comical and hard to take real offense. They poke fun at everything and everyone. It's a comedy show, it's not supposed to be taken too seriously.
I will grant you that it is this type of stereotype in the media that can make it difficult for young people to accept their sexual orientation as they can not only can't relate to it but don't want to be thought of in that way.
There are so many other lgbt characters and people in the public eye these days though that I think the humour in this is just that. Wouldn't mind watching it, actually. It funny from start to finish. I was in tears. There was one piece that I considered truly blasphemous and in poor taste but I doubt that would bother most here.
Very thoroughly recommended. Allow me to disagree and point out that he was driving a gas-guzzler in stark contrast to what is right reducing emissions and generally can be seen to be in the show as a representant of American idiocy, if you've watched the other episodes with Jimbo. Especially after reading how you just weren't able to detect the blatant parody of jingoism in Team America even after trying, I am now convinced that you are suffering from some kind of confirmation bias that weakens these elements in your eyes and brings forth other elements that btw I can't seem to perceive in the movie As for Jimbo, he's a macho man, he's not, as they'd say in South Park, a "pussy" or "douchebag" who does sissy things like drive a Prius.
Add info about trey and matt parker on another page, plus this page is inaccurate. I'm destroying this page now. My first page delete, I'm so excited. This article is an embarrassment, tedious to read, and baffling beyond belief. I don't see anything in the mission about scattershot animation masquerading as social commentary.
Also, not enough fart jokes. Talk to Civic Cat , 25 November UTC Listen, to whoever's saving the page, I actually agree that trey and matt have their issues but this page is not necessary. Look, just copy and paste the parts you like to another page, ok? Thank you. Still not enough fart jokes. I blame Canada.
