It's Christmas In Canada - #715 e111

KickAss!

Official Episode Description ( December 17, 2003 )
The Brovlofski family is dealt a devastating blow when Ike's Canadian birth parents show up unexpectedly and want their baby back. When the townspeople decide to forego Christmas gifts and take up a collection to get Ike home to South Park, the boys are distraught. Before all the money for their Christmas presents gets spent, they hightail it to Canada to bring Ike home themselves.

:- I thought this one was " CLASSIC " !!! A very pleasant way to end off the Season too. Many things were like Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo - #110 and yet so different. Ah heck, I even liked the way they killed Kenny, OhmyGod! Whomever said South Park jumped the shark, ought to get their tongue forked )~
I'ld watch 5 ReRuns

It's Christmas In Canada Trivia

FAST ANIMATION :
1. From "TV Guide" Cheers & Jeers Jan.10 - Jan.16
"Cheers to South Park for its amazingly quick parody of Saddam Hussein's capture. A mere four days after the news was reported, the season finale of Comedy Central's gleefully rude cartoon lampooned the Iraqi dictator and ended with a full-blown musical number. And we thought The Daily Show was timely."

This was a total spoof of The Wizard of Oz.
What does it mean? A quick search on the Internet will find many interesting ideas on what was the true meaning behind The Wizard of Oz.
Some high schools & colleges teach the Populist era ( 1890's US history ) through the theory that it is an allegory.
Is there a hidden meaning in the South Park episode? Hmmm... maybe, maybe not.
What is the meaning of The Wizard of Oz?
1. A childern's story or fairytale
2. Parable on Populism ( Duke University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Pennsylvania ) [1]
3. One's own Spiritual Journey ( following the yellow brick road ) [2]
4. Transformation into Womanhood ( moving from dependence to independence ) [2]
5. A young lesbian's search for identity ( the rainbow ) [2]
6. It is all about drugs ( OZ is an abbreviation for ounces & Toto = alcohol - because to to = 22oz and dog was "a menace to society" which is also what was said about alcohol during prohibition. In reality, the dog's real name was Terry & Toto stands for, "Terry out, Terry out!" ) [2]
Continuing on with the #6 idea....
Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was written for The Wizard of Oz as an alternate soundtrack. [2]
If you play the music while watching the film you can find over 100 coincidences of synchronicity. Is the rainbow on the album cover proof ?
MTV News reported this around the same time South Park first aired, May 30, 1997
On July 3, 2000 Turner Classic Movies aired the film with no commercials and Pink Floyd music on the alternate language source.
Some have even made a DVD of the film with the music already in sync, to make it easier, since the music has to be replayed 3 times to finish the movie.
Pink Floyd's Nick Mason says "It's absolute nonsense, it has nothing to do with The Wizard Of Oz. It was all based on The Sound Of Music."
Even as I write this, there is an ad on local radio station about a Laser Light Show featuring The Wizard of Oz & "Dark Side of the Moon". ( Jan. 2004 )
WB showed The Wizard of Oz this year. Did you recognize the music playing in the background during the Promos? Yep, Pink Floyd music, omigod, isn't that funny?

The Wizard of Oz (1939)- DVD ~ Dark Side of the Moon - CD
[ Other Sources = 1 & 2 ]

Ike was Toto [being taken away]
The scamps were Dorothy [seeking a way to reclaim Ike]
Scott was Wicked Witch of West [both were dicks]
Sheeped Mountie was Scarecrow [have to be pretty smart to get sheep to give you a ride willingly]
French-Canadian Mime was TinMan [crowd pleaser & teaser affecting hearts of everyone & wine is good for heart]
Newfoundlander Fisherman was the Lion [only a coward would sodomize boys]
Oz was none other than Saddam-Unshaved
The flying monkeys were spoofed once before in another episode, do you recall which one?
Was that real The Wizard Of Oz audio when Stan spots curtain moving?

Lyrics to spoof of "Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead!"

Ding dong, they caught Saddam! Merry Christmas to the world!
Ding dong, the Americans caught Saddam!
Now Canada is free for you and you and me. It's the best Christmas present we ever got
Canadian Christmas, it's the best! We drink and dance and show our breasts!
Let's celebrate! Saddam Hussein's been caught!
:- they didn't actually SHOW their breasts like Janet Jackson did @Super Bowl XXXVIII 2004 )~

"Ohmigod, they killed Kenny." "You bastard!"
When was the last time Stan & Kyle said that phrase after Kenny died?
Would you believe July 7, 2000 and "Something You Can Do With Your Finger" - #409 e056
Ok, how about July 4, 2001 and "The Super Best Friends" -#504 e068? Thanks JD !
After Kenny went along with mass suicide, Stan would yell out his line, and Kyle answered with his.
A modern day, Marco-Polo. That'ld be a record setter too, only episode where they said phrase twice.
