According to Trey Parker and Matt Stone it was apparently excruciatingly difficult making this movie. A simple shot of a puppet turning and walking through a door would take them a dozen takes because of how hard they were to control. I think they said making this movie was the most miserable they'd ever been but it was definitely worth it because the final product is incredible.

The South Park creators said it was so difficult dealing with all the puppets and voice overs in this film, that they would never ever ever make another film with puppets again. Apparantly Matt Damon was quoted in a interview stating-"I thought it was brilliant! I mean, I never understood it, and then I heard an interview with them and they said the puppet came in looking kind of mentally deficient and they didn’t have time to change it, so they just made me someone who could really only say his own name."

Samantha said in a reaction video a long time ago that she couldn't handle vomit, needless to say I've been looking forward to this reaction ever since 😂

P.S - Sean Penn complained and tried to have his character removed. Trey Parker read out his formal letter of complaint publicly at some event to further mock him 😂😂 Trey Parker and Matt Stone are heroes

I love how the puppeteers said they could make the fight scenes look super awesome, but Trey and Matt basically went ‘Nah, it’s way funnier if it looks crappy’.

Samantha's personality is too pure for a movie like this. That's going to make this reaction all the funnier!

Alec Baldwin loved it. He had a great sense of humour about it. Said when he dropped his kid off at school other kids would shout “you’re useress Arec Baldwin at him” 😂

There was some controversy surrounding the sex scene. The ratings board wanted it to be cut or else face an X rating. The producers had to explain to them that little dolls, that have no genitalia, bumping into each other is not pornographic. They got their R rating.

I saw this in 2004 while on Operation Iraqi Freedom II in a US Army theater located in the combat zone. The audience was around 60 other soldiers, and the audience was enthused.

They put so much comedy in this in every scene. In the bar scene, the hammer that Spotsworth gave him earlier in the film is on the bar while hes at a lowpoint. LOL

"If you're not interested, there's the door." "Alright. Thanks." Then leaves. Smartest movie protagonist.

I just recently saw an interview with Matt Damon where he said the "maaatt daaamon" line was one that people say to him when they see him. Hearing him actually say it was soooo funny.

The soundtrack to this film is beyond amazing. I know Trey and Matt are musically talented due to all their other works but I still sing “America, Fuck Yeah!” in my daily life 😂

I have to say. Sam's face when they start talking fake Arabic was simply PRICELESS!!! ------- I cant stop laughing. What a riot. I Love this reaction so much!!

it's not just pretty close to Rent; the set is practically identical! The puppets are wearing almost identical costumes! It's brilliant!

Because of the immense size of the sets they built, the puppeteers had to be well out of camera range and were often controlling the puppets from scaffolding 30 feet off the ground. The technical achievement here is amazing.

Sams response to the vomit scene is so brilliant and hilarious,she is such a sweetheart and was caught totally off guard.Great reaction you two even though TB had seen it before,looking forward to your next movie reaction.Stay safe and well.

the reason Matt Damon's puppet was talking like he was "special" was because Matt and Trey thought the puppet looked stupid and not like Matt at all, so they made it "special". Sam's reactions are priceless. She makes me laugh so much when she laughs uncontrollably, LOL.

Dude, the icing on the cake was Sam's reaction to the timeless ballad for the ages, "I'm so lonely" as only Kim Jong iL can sing it. ------ Just when I didn't think this reaction could get any funnier. ----- A musical interlude by the man himself sends me rolling off the sofa. ----- I think I got enough laughs for a month with this reaction. ------ Thank you Sam and Daniel, you both never fail to bring the goods.

I watched Thunderbirds as a kid and this movie delivered both nostalgia with fantastic adult humor. I think this movie has made you both laugh the hardest in any comedy reaction you've done so far.

It's priceless. Parker & Stone should have gotten a special Oscar for this. I like how I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. sounds like a chronic weed smoker.

Even with puppets, Samantha can't escape the throw-up.😆

One of the funnest things to do with tis film is to re watch it and pick out all the things they used for props, like Chinese take out boxes for buildings in North Korea or in Egypt a woman was walking with a basket of Goldfish Crackers on her head. Tons o fun! Never seen Daniel laugh so hard, I almost passed out watching him almost pass out.

Sean Penn notoriously went full Karen in response to this movie. The funniest part was he sent a letter to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, which, no joke, contained the sentence, "I'VE BEEN TO IRAQ!!" You can't make this up. 😂

By far one of the most hysterical movies ever made AND best F scene ever!!!

Saw this in the theater, me and my buddy were in tears laughing at the throw up scene!🤣😂

Sean Penn says 'K'Plah' which is Klingon for 'Success / good luck/ good hunting'. The whole movie is a tribute to the works of Gerry Anderson, in particular 'Thunderbirds'. Parker and Stone have sworn to never make another marionette movie now that they know how hard it is to achieve.

From the year 2000 until today - my three favorites comedies 1. Team America 2. Super Troopers 3. Tropic Thunder The thing about Team America - it came out just a few years after 9/11… some friends and I went to see this in the theater during its release and we all died laughing. I’m glad you reviewed this - you two have a great day. 👍

The barfing scene is my favorite as well. I had already laughed hard through most of the rest of the movie but during that scene I was laughing so hard that I was literally wheezing, crying, coughing, and had to stop the movie to catch my breath. The laughs were coming out like uncontrollable high-pitch giggling of a little girl. It was wonderful.

Most accurate depiction of Hollywood ever put to film.

Am I the only one who watched this video to see if Samantha was going to laugh so hard that she went into labor? Great work, guys.

I'm glad to see you two react to this movie. It is hilarious!

A funny easter egg that I love is in the scene where Kim Jong Il is singing. The statue is a real person painted gold lol you can see him swaying a bit

Trey and Matt are great. Just a couple dudes from a Denver suburb making great topical humor at current events as they arise:) this time they really spoof blockbuster action films of the Michael Bay Jerry Bruckheimer variety. They literally put everything they had into this:) Great stuff:)

I always loved how they are obviously putting so much effort in to the puppetry then intentionally do rudimentary bad puppetry when they walk or fight. Whenever it's funnier to make it obvious they're puppets they'll do that. I wasn't taken off guard by I'm So Lonely because SP: Bigger, Longer and Uncut had Satan's Up There at basically the same point of the movie. As soon as those notes hit it was like "oh, okay, here comes the villain song."

😂😂😂 watching you guys laugh at the throw up scene made me laugh harder than I have in a while, my ribs hurt. This movie always reminds me of being 12 years old when it came out and how ungodly hard I laughed then, what a ridiculous specific piece of American history 😂😂😂

This was specifically done in the style of ‘supermation’ perfected by the creator of The Thunderbirds, where they’re marionettes with ventriloquist style heads. The puppeteers were some of the best in the world and while they could do all the intricate movements of real people Matt Stone and Trey Parker had them purposely play up the joke of the characters being puppets having limited mobility. The opening kung fu was done for real during rehearsal.

Semi-related, but Stargate SG1 did a 200th episode that came out around the same time as this movie. They hired the same production company to do a scene with the same sort of puppets and it's hilarious (but mostly in the context of the show).

Too darn funny and brilliant of a movie! So many moments I want to quote, but it may not be safe to do so on KZfaq. So... MATT DAMON!!!

Matt Damons most convincing role 🤣

Best reaction so far! The reaction to the puke scene was brilliant "I nearly passed out" 😂

I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen this since theaters. I was crying laughing so hard rewatching it on here. Usually comedies don’t hold up to repeat viewings. But, this one was great.

Alec Baldwin actually did not have a problem with it, he actually offered to do his own voice, but it was done by voice actor Maurice LaMarche from Animaniacs. You might see comments saying it was Alec Baldwin, it wasn't. Everyone for the most part liked it, except Michael Moore (somewhat), they just don't like him.

This movie came out the weekend my mom passed away n it definitely helped me get thru a tough n really mentally draining time in my life. This came out at the perfect time for me, my friends took me to see this to try n cheer me up n it actually fucken worked. This movie will always have a special place in my heart.

I was dying from Sam's reaction and you laughing along with her 😂😂😂😂 I've seen this movie numerous times and it still kills me to this day!

I remember watching this in the theater and being blow away at how vile and hilarious it was hahahaahaa

Daniel waiting for the vomit scene the whole movie.... Me too man! My favorite scene. God I can't even remember how hard I laughed when I first saw it.

The puppets were 22 inches tall and took 4 people to puppet one at once. The short on Matt Damon's character in the movie is that the puppet came back looking mentally slow, so they just made Matt Damon in the movie appear to have brain damage or not all there by making him say his own name.

“No, I can’t warn you” Best reaction channel. End of story.

The hardest I have ever laughed in my life was when I saw the South Park movie in theaters. I had never seen the tv show and was completely unfamiliar with it. I was so sore from heavy laughter at the end I had to legit call in sick the next day. And while Matt and Trey have never won an Oscar, the South Park movie was a nominee for best musical number.

Thanks for putting in Tim Robbins "WOOOO!" I about died from laughing the first time I saw it all those years ago. Great reaction as always. 😂

the whole movie is amazing, and the shot I still like most is them going "We stopped the terrorists" while being surrounded by the destruction they made far worse

This is by far my favorite reaction to one of my favorite movies. You two had me laughing even harder than when I first saw it 😂... you're my people, lol!

If you guys enjoyed this I would definitely check out BASEket Ball from the same guys

Also! The comedic timing on "Tim... Martin... Matt Damon" was perfect!

One of my favorite little throwaway gags in this movie is just the way that they add a subtitle saying how far away from America each location is because a lot of Americans have no idea where other countries are.

I was waiting for Samantha's reaction to the vomit scene. Knowing how she feels about that, I felt sorry for her but at the same time I was laughing so hard that I almost passed out too! Thank you Samantha for taking one for the fans! If you haven't seen them... Any chance of getting a reaction for either "Orgazmo" or "Cannibal the Musical" (both by Trey Parker and Matt Stone)? Your reactions are consistently among my favorites on KZfaq, so I just wanted to say thanks for doing Team America!

So glad you are seeing this unsung gem. The effort that went into making it was phenomenal.

Hilarious reaction guys Sam's face was priceless throughout although the ronry scene was my personal favourite haha😂 and i think i speak for everyone when i say "Matt Damonnn"! Haha

This movie is more and more correct in it's portrayal of holier-than-thou actors every day. By now the outrageous behaviour of the caricatures in the movie is probably less egregious than the real deal. I swear to you, Gary's 'heroic cleansing' moment in the alley almost killed me the first time I saw it. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

There are so many bits from this movie that I still quote when the need arises

The speech on the three types of people is the most profound and insightful moment in cinematic history. Socrates, Shakespeare and Freud never understood humanity as well as this.

Gary vomiting for like, three straight minutes, with like.. the soundtrack behind it, is both the hardest I've ever laughed in a movie theater, and easily the loudest laughing I've ever heard in a movie theater, in my life.

I love how they didn't try to be perfect with the puppets. Their awkwardness and the strings made it even more funny. Such a great memorable movie!

Me and my friend got stoned and went to the theatre to see this. It was just us and this group of like 7 elderly people who walked out within 3 minutes (I’m not kidding). Me and him stayed and laughed till we cried.

The first time I saw the Hans Brix shark tank scene I hadn’t laughed that hard in my entire life. I was on the floor.

A shame the best line of the movie didn't make the YT edit: "We've lost Intelligence! We have no Intelligence!" Hope you give other Trey Parker & Matt Stone movies a chance: South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut(1999), BASEketball(1998), and my favorite, Orgazmo(1997)

There are actually two interviews in which Matt Damon tells how he feels about his role in this movie. In the first one he was rather irritated, but in the second one he said the director was a genius. :D

"There's so much!" "It's, like, spraying!" Easily the funniest vomit scene ever (Family Guy ipecac is 2nd place). It just keeps going, and when Gary starts sputtering and shaking I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣

I saw this at the theatre when it came out. I laughed so hard I had a migraine. The whole theatre was in tears and gasping for air most of the movie. It was the funniest film I’ve ever seen in a theatre.

Probably the funniest film ever made. I saw this in the theatre with a few friends way back and we were crying painfully with laughter throughout. And unlike a lot of other comedies than csn get less funny after numerous repeat viewing, Team America always makes me crease. The satire, the physical comedy of the Puppets, to just outright ludicrous little moments like the "suicide hammer" 😂

Fun Fact: Trey & Matt originally wanted to make this movie a shot for shot remake of Armageddon, because they say every movie Michael Bay makes is a comedy to them 😂

C'mon everybody we've got quilting to do!" Still one of my all time favorite movies lines. That and "He's the best martial arts master Detroit has to offer!", As well as all the "No me gusta!" lines during the Panama Canal scene always gets me. Note: I lived in the metro Detroit area for 25 years and didn't realize we were where all the martial arts masters lived.

My friend Jay along with 2 of the people were the only people in this theater to see this on 1st release. We laughed the entire way through.

My theater experience with this was watching with my two older brothers, since we all loved South Park. The theater was mostly full. About half of us were just dying laughing the whole time. A quarter of the people were looking around wondering why we thought it was so funny, and the rest walked out of the theater within the first 20 minutes or so. It was great.

Hi Daniel & Samantha!🙂Finally a film worthy of Academy Awards!😄The Chiodo Brothers created all 270 puppets. You should check out there film "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" (1988) sometime. Trey Parker & Matt Stone said they would never make another puppet film again. Great reactions to the very well made Team America: World Police, Kids!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I hope you guys kept the end credits going and enjoyed the other kim jong il classic, "You are worthress Arec Barwin"!

I haven't seen this in years. I am crying laughing. What a great movie.

Matt Damon is very happy with this role and is very happy to react to it for his fans.

Another great comedy that you two would love is Grandma's Boy :) I believe it came out in 2007, and it is hilarious :)

Man, we never saw Schmitty laugh so hard. That was great!

I am DEAD from your laughing! I’ve jsut had 2 root canals & 2 extractions and dying but your laughing and this movie had me dying, which hurts but so good to smile lol thanks

Oh man this movie.....! The creators of South Park are incredible. No filter, non-apologetic, but very smart in their satire.

This film is one of only 2 I've ever re-watched immediately after seeing for the first time. It is brilliant!

Poor Sam, but she made it through that scene without vomiting, hats off to you :)

This is the world you are bringing your child into. :D

I saw this in theaters when it came out. My friend my brother and I were laughing so hard our stomachs were hurting. What made it even funnier was an older lady brought two little kids and they left in a huff about 20 minutes into the movie. What did she expect the movie was rated R and it was by the guys who do South Park!!! The soundtrack is so awesome as well. One of the few movie soundtracks that I went out and bought after seeing the movie. I so needed this today Love you guys and love your channel. ❤❤❤

Thanks for watching this! I needed a good laugh and this did not disappoint!

Hands down one of the funniest movies ever!

Omg I've never seen this before. This shit is wild.😂😂he gave my man a hammer to off himself. 😂😂😂😂

I absolutely love the detail and Care they put in the movie. When F.A.G. is talking to the summit of world leaders, you can see the king of Belgium in the front. I am Belgian and that puppet is spot on! Looks exactly like the man. (His son is now king, but hé reigned when the movie came out)

To my great shame, I didn't see this when it came out because I thought a puppet movie seemed stupid even though I was a big South Park fan. That to this day the Matt Damon portrayal is so accurate never ceases to amaze me. Put a mustache on the puppet and I'd think I was watching Oppenheimer. I do worry now that baby Schmitt's first word will be "durka durka durka". 🤭

I checked 3 times to see if you uploaded it lol

Vomit scene was too good! Your reactions made it even funnier 😂😂😂

I loved this reaction vid. Excellent editing and no flat spots. Nice work!

One of my favorite tidbits that Parker and Stone have said in interviews was how the initial screenings went with the executive producers of the film who wanted to see how the hundreds of millions of dollars had gone. With the opening scene of the cheap looking French marionette before it pans out and opens up with the broader scene of Paris, one of the producers jumped up out of his seat and yelled "They f***ed us!"

This movie, South Park BLU, and Tropic Thunder will probably go down in history as the most crude and hilarious movies ever made. They're untouchable.

It seems like the "original cut" had many more crazy scenes between Gary and Lisa. Trey and Matt only put in to have something to cut out to get a lower rating. Brilliant! The songs are so funny and great. I recommend watching some behind the scenes for this movie.

I remember being so excited to see this movie when my buddy told me about it. It was right around 2004 my junior year of high school and my buddy and I both decided at the same time that we were just going to get our GED and go to college a year early so we were hanging out everyday once we stopped going to school so we could study for our classes and register and his dad bought him this DVD burner for his birthday and Blockbuster was on its last legs so they were doing a $20 a month membership where you could rent two DVDs at a time all included in the monthly price. So allegedly he would rent to and burn them over a few hours and then take them back and rent to more and burn them and so on so forth and 04-05 we watch so many amazing movies. Shaun of the Dead team America wedding Crashers yadda yadda. I was just so disappointed by this movie when I first saw it but then I watched it a couple more times and realized that it's fucking brilliant. They film it just like a real Hollywood action movie with crazy exaggerated explosions and personalities and the political shit is just brilliant they make fun of everyone. And one of my favorite parts of this movie and it's so basic and most people don't even react to it in these videos is when the guy is in the Jeep and he says this cheapest filled with explosives were going to take their lives and our own. We're... we're gonna wut... It's so just dry basic humor but I was crying when he said that. This is one of my favorite movies to watch people react to

I guess the puppeteers said that the amount of effort required to achieve this movie was so difficult that they would never, never, ever do something like this ever again. OMG
