{{quote|''A lot of the movie offended me. Some of it amazed me. It is too long and runs out of steam, but it serves as a signpost for our troubled times. Just for the information it contains about the way we live now, thoughtful and concerned people should see it. After all, everyone else will.''

'''''South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut''''' is [[The Movie]] of [[South Park (Animation)|that famous cartoon about the foulmouthed kids that airs on]] [[Comedy Central]], released in 1999. The four protagonists -- Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny -- sneak into a Sunday morning screening of "Asses Of Fire", a new film starring their favorite [[Canada, Eh?|Canadian]] comedians Terrance and Phillip. The [[Refuge in Vulgarity|epic amounts of obscenity]] they take from the film cause all sorts of trouble; their parents go on the [[Moral Guardian]] warpath after learning about their sons' new linguistic skills, kidnapping Terrance and Phillip, starting a war between Canada and America, threatening to kill them live during a USO show, [[It Got Worse|and inadvertently allowing Satan to rise up and cause]] [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]]. The film has a ''lot'' to offer.
 
Plus, it's a [[The Musical|musical]].
 
For such a [[Refuge in Vulgarity|vulgar]], [[Crosses the Line Twice|offensive]] movie (it holds the world record for most obscenities in an animated feature, with 399; at 599, the live-action champion is the Martin Scorcese film ''Casino''), ''Uncut'' is notable for quite a few things. For one, it's one of the fastest TV-to-movie adaptations in the history of Hollywood, [[South Park (Animation)|South Park]] having debuted ''two years'' before. For another, the song "Blame Canada" earned the film an Academy Award for Best Original Song (Disney's "[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]" won, but Matt Stone and Trey Parker didn't take it sitting down). Above all this, the movie is just laugh-out-loud funny and benefited by some terrific original tunes, like "Blame Canada", "Mountain Town", "Uncle Fucka", and "What Would Brian Boitano Do?"
 
----
=== The movie is the [[Trope Namer]] for: ===
 
{{tropenamer}}
* [[La Résistance]]
 
{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes featured in this work include the following: ===
 
* [[The Ace]]: Gregory.
* [[Adam Westing]]: [[George Clooney]] has a cameo role as [[ER (TV)|a doctor who attempts to save Kenny's life]]. It goes without saying that [[They Killed Kenny|Kenny dies]], but the kicker is that the doctors [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|replaced his heart with a baked potato]].
* [[And There Was Much Rejoicing]]: "It's been 5 months since a pack of wild boars trampled Saddam Hussein to death, and the world is still glad to be rid of him".
* [[Angry Mob Song]]: "Blame Canada" and "[[La Résistance]]".
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
** The boys had a reputation for having filthy mouths before, but it's also taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the movie. Of course, it's all part of the plot.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: During the "Quiet Mountain Town" number, a news report says that Saddam Hussein (who appears in Hell as Satan's lover) was killed 5 months ago by wild boars. There's also a line by Kenny's mom that predicts Kenny will end up in Hell (which happens after he dies).
* [[Freeze -Frame Bonus]]: A chart on the hospital wall where Kenny dies lists several doctors assigned to different things; the doctor assigned to [[James Bond|"Kill Bond"]] is [[Dr. No (Film)|No]].
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The working title for this movie was "South Park: All Hell Breaks Loose." When they showed the original trailer to the MPAA, however, it was only approved for "Restricted Audiences", because "Hell" wasn't a G-rated word. So they changed the title to its current form, which (despite the ''much'' racier innuendo) didn't contain any words that weren't G-rated, and thus their trailer was approved for "All audiences."
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Ze Mole.
* [[Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die]]: "La Resistance" is a very inspiring song for everyone who hears and sings it... except Stan, Kyle and Cartman, who are the three people it's ''supposed'' to be inspiring.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Cartman is reduced to this, since the "V-Chip" installed in his head shocks him whenever he tries to swear.
** What Mr. Mackey tries to teach the kids by singing "It's Easy, Mkay".
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Kyle says, "God, your mom sucks, Cartman" after the boys find an Internet video of her doing German scat porn. But considering what a [[Complete Monster]] his own mother is in this film, it's definitely throwing stones in a glass house on Kyle's part.
** To be fair, it's not as though Kyle approves of his mother's actions and calls her out on her [[Moral Guardians]] [[Knight Templar Parent]] nonsense. He just gets tired of Cartman making [["The Villain Sucks" Song|musical numbers dedicated to his mom.]]
*** Also, Cartman's mother was almost as big a part of the moral crusade as Kyle's mom was, meaning that Cartman's mom is guilty of all that ''and'' [[Hypocrite|doing German scheiss videos]].
** There's also the chance Kyle may have been speaking literally.
* [[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]: {{spoiler|When Satan throws Saddam Hussein back into Hell, he lands with a sharp rock going through his torso.}}
* [[Inferred Holocaust]]: "All Canadian-Americans are to report to one of these death camps right away. Did I say death camps? I meant happy camps!"
* [["I Want" Song]]: "Up There".
** The bridge if "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" serves as this for Cartman, Kyle, and Stan.
{{quote| '''Cartman''': I want this V-chip out of me. It has stunted my vocabulary.<br />
'''Kyle''': And I just want my mom to stop fighting everyone.<br />
'''Stan''': For Wendy I'll be an activist too, 'cause that's what Brian Boitano'd do! }}
* [[I Was Told There Would Be Cake|I Was Told There Would Be Punch and Pie]]: The kids' lure to get people to join [[La Résistance]].
Line 69:
* [[La Résistance]]: [[Trope Namers]].
* [[Mama Bear]]: Sheila takes this trope way too far.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: In-universe: Stan mentions that Brian Boitano did three salchows and a triple lutz blindfolded, can breathe fire, fought the Evil Robot King, built the Pyramids, and killed Kublai Khan.
* [[Men Are from Mars]]: Spoofed. Satan and Saddam Hussein are in bed together, and while Saddam Hussein is waving dildos suggestively at Satan, Satan is reading ''Saddam Is from Mars, Satan Is from Venus'' (a parody of [[w:Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus|that famous book]]) and bemoaning their inability to communicate.
* [[The Mole]]: Christophe DeLorn, [[In Name Only|The Mole.]]
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Conan O'Brien, after tricking Terrance and Phillip onto his show so that they could get arrested, has one of these moments, and ends up jumping out his studio window to his death.
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
* [[The Reveal]]: With Kenny. See [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]
* [[Right Behind Me]]: Kyle's mom is standing right behind Cartman while he's singing [["The Villain Sucks" Song]], which leads to him having the V-chip implanted in his head.
* [[Shout Out]]: Cartman's malfunctioning V-chip powers wind up making him look like a [[Dragonball Z|Super Saiyan]].
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: All four boys (Stan less than the others) become this after seeing ''Asses of Fire''.
** Terrance and Phillip cuss a lot more (and a lot harsher) in [[The Movie]] than they normally do in the show.
Line 90 ⟶ 92:
* [[Take That]]: Several. The most prominent example occurred outside the movie, when Phil Collins beat Matt Stone and Trey Parker for the Best Original Song Oscar (for his work in "Tarzan"). Matt and Trey retaliated in the season 4 episode "Timmy 2000", where the kids take ADD pills and become so listless they actually tolerate Collins' music.
** Who knew that "Barbara Streisand" was the foulest word in the English language?
** "Now now, Canada has apologized for [[Celine Dion]] on a number of occasions!"
* [[Triumphant Reprise]]: The reprise of "Mountain Town" at the end.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Barbra Streisand, {{spoiler|one of the many profanities said by Cartman while his V-Chip was malfunctioning.}}
Line 97 ⟶ 100:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Sheila.
* [[We Have Reserves]]: In the invasion plans of Canada, black people are put into units best described as "bullet shield."
** They are, in fact, explicitly christened "Operation Human Shield".
* [[What's a Henway?|What's a Buttfor?]]: "For pooping, silly."
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: After [[They Killed Kenny Again|getting killed yet again]], Kenny thinks he's going to heaven. [[Hell|He's wrong]].
