In a laugh-out-loud video that has taken Reddit by storm, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the masterminds behind *South Park*, have cooked up a riotous skit involving the legendary Terry Gilliam. This crossover, described by fans as "the mash-up I never knew I needed," showcases Parker and Stone's signature irreverent humor and their deep admiration for the Monty Python crew.

The video opens with Parker and Stone discussing their desire to have Terry Gilliam work on *South Park*. Stone remarks, "We'd like to get someone like Terry Gilliam to do South Park for us." Parker humorously retorts, "Yeah, but now he's a big Hollywood director, and he doesn't really have time. That's why we kidnapped his mother."

The camera then zooms out to reveal an actress playing Mrs. Gilliam, pleading, "Terry, please, please help me." Parker's character, in full comedic mode, shouts, "Shut your hole! That's enough out of you!" The banter escalates with Parker threatening, "You will come work for us, Terry Gilliam, or we'll use your mother's DNA to duplicate you. And then many other little Terry Gilliams will come work for us!"

The video concludes with a satirical plea for Mrs. Gilliam's return, stating, "Mrs. Gilliam is still missing. So if anyone finds her, please return her to her son, Terrence, who is worried stiff. Postage and packaging will be refunded so long as she's posted within the EC or the Republic of Ireland, and in a reusable envelope. Thank you."

Fans of both *South Park* and Monty Python have flooded the comments with praise. One user noted, "Must have been an absolute dream come true for Matt and Trey to be able to work with so many of the Pythons. They were hugely influenced by them." Another commented, "Monty Python, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone are legends."

The video has also sparked nostalgia among fans, with one recalling, "Never forget Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote and acted in the 1998 film BASEketball and the scene where they kiss took 56 takes to get it right." Others reminisced about Parker and Stone's memorable antics, such as taking acid and wearing wedding dresses to the Grammys.

The standout moment for many viewers is Parker's commanding shout, "Zoom out, cameraman!", which has become a catchphrase in the comment section. Reactions like "Zoom out, camera man!" and "Trey's rants are comedy gold, lol" highlight the comedic impact of Parker's delivery.

This entertaining skit not only pays homage to Terry Gilliam and Monty Python but also showcases the unique comedic genius of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It's a delightful blend of absurdity and wit that fans of both *South Park* and Monty Python can appreciate.

I've seen a lot of Terry Gilliam's cartoons, and shudder to imagine the kinds of revenge he could come up with if he were so inclined.
