Trey Parker and Matt Stone: Difference between revisions

* [[Author Catchphrase]]: "Derp" was apparently a nonsense word invented on the set of ''BASEketball'' to exemplify stupid humor. It has been carried over to [[South Park (Animation)|South Park]] in several forms, with no in-show explanation or link between them. Once there was a substitute school chef named "Mr. Derp" who did stupid physical gags; another time there was a Rob Schneider movie trailer (as part of a running gag of successively stupider movie trailers) whose narration consisted almost entirely of nonsensical permutations of the word "Derp".

* [[Garfunkel]]: A quite common accusation towards [[Matt Stone]]; the two have a creative partnership, but Trey Parker always directs their feature films and always plays the lead role, suggesting that Matt Stone is a less active creative partner. Additionally, most South Park episodes are written and directed by Parker alone. Stone, on the other hand, focuses on the business side of production, althought he does take part in the conception of the stories.

* [[Here We Go Again]]: They lost a Grammy award to [[Phil Collins]], then had to go up against [[U 2|Bono and The Edge]] in the Tony Awards, with Trey especially despising the idea of losing to both Phil Collins and Bono in one lifetime. {{spoiler|They didn't, and won '''nine''' Tonies}}.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: The two have been friends since college. Stan and Kyle's relationship in [[South Park (Animation)|South Park]] makes this trope evident even more, considering the two are based on their creators (Stan being Trey and Kyle being Matt).
