Sometimes the best type of joke requires a gestation period of several years before you can finally find your legs and make your way in a global story. For Southern park The creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, they were finally about to determine their infamous “Sting Operation” Bit during an episode of season 13 entitled “Butters ‘Bottom Bitch”, which saw Sergeant Harrison Yates S’ Engage in his work unthinkable to eliminate a prostitution ring that torments his small mountain town long enough for him to finally get involved. Originally like a disposable joke while Parker and Stone worked on Orgasm In 1997, just when Southern park First started to tour Comedy Central, and long before Sergeant Yates is never a fully expanded character, we would not see this piece will be fully realized before 2009, when all the pieces were finally set up .
Engage in the bit at all levels
THE Southern park DVDs all have short “mini-commentaries” with Trey Parker and Matt Stone briefly speaking about production and character arcs in each episode. They explain that halfway through their season 13 race, they met a hitch while writing “Butters’ Bottom Hitch”, when they realized that they still needed a B-plot underworld With his “kisses company”, which allows him to embody a moral code directly inspired by the HBO documentary Pimps up, Ho is at the bottom.
While the mainly innocent company but still technically criminal begins to flourish, Sergeant Harrison Yates, who has only become a leading character in Southern park The tradition during “The Jeffers” of season 8, decides that the best way to remove the operation is inside the only way he knows how: through an elaborate bite operation in which he dresses as A sex worker and stops anyone looking to throw cash for a while.
What makes the joke of more decades if really impactful, however, is how Yates does not draw his badge and her gun when money changes hands, but rather by finishing any act that his customers pay, at Shock and the horror of its partners in the Park County Police Department.
Time to press the trigger
Parker and Stone knew that early in their career that they could never get away with the joke they found while working OrgasmWho was a police officer starting his perilous odyssey with “hey, are you looking to party?” Southern park to date. Taken in a jam and realizing that in season 13, they had a considerable influence on the measure they could push the envelopes, they launched their hands because they were seriously exhausted by working on their previous episode, “Dead Celebrities ”.
It is during this moment of despair that Southern park The creators decided to rekindle the disposable joke and to dress the Harrison Yates sergeant in his most beautiful mini-skirt in red vinyl, rightly decorated with a black whale tail, fishing nets and a blonde neglected wig , and to get him out in the streets. Like the Southern park The episode progresses through his second and third acts, the same goes for the level of the feeling of depravity and the commitment of Yates towards the work which leaves his colleagues amazed and abasted by the distance he is ready to Clean the streets of South Park.
Better late than never
Of the 328 episodes of Southern parkThis episode of season 13 is among the best in the series, currently seated in place number 31 on IMDB with 8.8 out of 10 stars. Although we can always ask ourselves why they did not rely on this legendary legendary intrigue earlier, it is probably for the best because sometimes ideas need time to develop and find their legitimate place in a global history larger. In the case of the Park County Police Department, we are all happy that Parker and Stone have waited until this long race in the series because there is no other character who could be so convincing at work other than Sergeant Harrison Yates.
