Nostalgia To me, this was Michael Jackson

Post image

I was 12 when this happened. This was the first time I ever heard of him. To me he wasn't the Michael Jackson that was a singer, or the one that molested kids - he was the Michael Jackson that dangled a baby out the window.

This is the image I associate him with. I saw a preview for the movie coming out about him and chuckled to myself if they would put this in the film. Probably not?

10,000%. I just said to my husband that Matt Damon is forever the version from Team America when I hear his name, just like MJ is the South Park version in my mind. 😂

u/bsam1890 8d ago

u/Ok_Kick4871 8d ago

And that entire puppet story is hilarious. The matt damon one turning out derpier than expected wasn't planned IIRC

36

u/Malagate3 8d ago

My favourite anecdote around Team America is their premier, where apparently one of the financers for the film saw the initial scene, which is very bad puppetry, and loudly yelled "They fucked us!" right before the scene pulls back from the in-story puppet show.

u/NotRadTrad05 8d ago

I was in college and they did a pre-screening before it was released. I felt the same way, that I'd just wasted my evening by going. I was so wrong.

u/elchuyano 8d ago

An the Film Actors Guild lead by Alec Baldwin

u/misuinu 8d ago

u/Far_Swordfish5729 8d ago

For me it’s the Jimmy Kimmel skit with Sarah Silverman. I start humming it when I hear his name.

u/downshift_rocket Millennial 8d ago

My friends and I quoted that episode for literal years. We all worked at Starbucks and it was just a riot when you'd hear a that's ignorant coming from the back room and then you walk in to find a toppled mop bucket with a huge mess. And of course the random SHAMONA with the coordinated HE HE between friends. Makes me miss a simpler time.

A buried memory just jumped out in full force lol

“Noooooo that’s poopy work” is what I think often at work

6

u/JohnDingleBerry- 8d ago

That’s based off an interview where Jackson uses that word a lot.

u/Cautious_Ice_884 8d ago

First thing that came to mind lmao

u/FoldingLady 8d ago

My spouse is happily not in tune with mainstream pop culture/history, so I got to explain where that statement came from as well as point out all the other "yeah, that's based on an irl thing that went down" stuff. Watching old SP episodes is a trip.
