Team America: World Police https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/Team_america_poster_300px.jpg Dir: Trey Parker Genre: Comedy Year: 2004 Matt Stone and Trey Parker are comedic geniuses. In 2004, the true extent of their satirical prowess was still largely underappreciated. But Team America began to change it all. Released just after the Iraq War, Team America served as a timely satire of the post-9/11 jingoism that was sweeping the nation. But it went beyond that--it also lampooned the righteousness and self-importance of celebrities/actors in the geopolitical realm perfectly. In fact, that's exactly why Matt & Trey opted to use puppets instead of actors--they wanted to show exactly how replaceable these people were, even in their own craft. The humor is layered surprisingly deep, but you can also always count on the surface-level jokes (America, FUCK YEAH!) to hit the mark and stand the test of time. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:921974612] in Presenting...
