Fall Asleep To South Park VS Drugs

This video looks at how South Park has treated drugs and marijuana, starting with Mr. Mackey's "drugs are bad" lecture and ending with Randy Marsh's Tegridy Farms. The video asks which side South Park takes on drugs. It compares Randy's sincere anti-pot speech in My Future Self n' Me (season 6, episode 16) with his marijuana farm in Tegridy Farms (season 22, episode 4). It goes through the episodes in order and links each one to production history, to events in Trey Parker and Matt Stone's lives, and to changes in Colorado law. The narration is calm and slow, meant to help viewers fall asleep. What's covered in this video: Mr. Mackey's origins, including the tight tie behind his large head and the "m'kay" tic Trey Parker took from his junior high counselor, Mr. Lackey. Ike's Wee Wee (May 20, 1998), where Mackey loses a marijuana sample in class, is fired, tries LSD, is captured by the A-Team in India, and goes to the Betty Ford Clinic. How the "drugs are bad" routine appeared on Eminem's track The Kids and was quoted by judges, including Judge Clayton Greene Jr. in a 2010 Maryland dissent. Parker and Stone going to the 72nd Academy Awards on LSD, wearing dresses copied from Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez, and losing Best Original Song for Blame Canada to Phil Collins. Timmy 2000, where the whole school goes on Ritalin, Cartman hallucinates Christina Aguilera monsters, and Phil Collins is booed at Lalapalolapaza. Randy suggesting Stan take up pot instead of joining the boy band Fingerbang in Something You Can Do with Your Finger. Colorado's Amendment 20, which legalized medical marijuana in November 2000 with about 54 percent of the vote. Towelie, voiced by Vernon Chatman, who was created to mock merchandising and then sold as merchandise by Comedy Central. The 2002 Super Bowl ads from the Office of National Drug Control Policy that tied drug money to terrorism, and how My Future Self n' Me answered them with Motivation Corp. Butt Out, where Rob Reiner appears as an anti-smoking crusader who disguises himself as Rita Poon. Up the Down Steroid, where Jimmy uses steroids at the World Kids Disability Games in Denver and the episode cuts to Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi, and Barry Bonds.
