00:00Doctor, do I have gills?
00:05He does not have gills.
00:07Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the funniest times
00:11Trey Parker and Matt Stone took aim at some of the world's most well-known figures on South Park.
00:17Are you guys seeing this?
00:20Yes, we see, Mr. Cameron.
00:23Number 10. Mel Gibson
00:25How dare you call me crazy! This means war!
00:31He's one of the few South Park characters to have his real face used for his parody.
00:37Jesus! Oh, how I love you! How I love you, Jesus!
00:41When Stan and Kenny travel to Gibson's house to get their money back for The Passion of the Christ,
00:45he promptly strips off and asks the boys to torture him, as you do.
00:49Ha! So you do intend to torture me, huh? Well, go ahead!
00:53Do your worst! You still won't get your ticket money back! I can take whatever you can dish out!
00:59He's hilariously unhinged and ends this brilliant episode by, well, doing this.
01:04I guess now you're gonna start torturing me!
01:07Oh, my nipples are so tender, don't squeeze them anymore!
01:11That's Mel Gibson?
01:13And to think, this episode actually came out two years before Gibson's reputation went down the tubes.
01:18Number 9. Diddy
01:20As one of the most well-known yet controversial names in hip-hop, Diddy has been referenced more than once on South Park.
01:26Satan once tried to throw a rather extravagant birthday party, only to find out that Diddy already did it.
01:31How about a donut machine? Did Diddy do it? Diddy did do it.
01:35A full ice cream bar? Diddy did it.
01:37Dammit, what didn't Diddy do?
01:39Another episode saw the show create some pretty hilarious made-up names for Diddy's kids.
01:43Ah, and these are Puff Daddy's kids, P. Diddy Mini, P. Poofy Bite Size, and Puffer Diddy Diddy Puff Pun Size.
01:48The most memorable Diddy roast, however, came in the episode titled Douche and Turd,
01:52where the rapper and his posse terrorize Kyle in an attempt to get him to vote for a new school mascot.
02:05While the verdict is out on whether future seasons will tackle Diddy's recent allegations,
02:09Trey Parker and Matt Stone clearly have had their sights set on him since the early 2000s.
02:14Number 8. James Cameron
02:16This is it. Throttle down.
02:18He's directed some of the most successful movies of all time,
02:22set a record by traveling deeper into the Mariana Trench than anyone else,
02:26and has one hell of a catchy theme song.
02:28His name is James Cameron, the bravest pioneer.
02:32No budget too steep, no seat too deep. Who's that? It's him, James Cameron.
02:37On a mission to raise the bar of humanity, which dropped to new lows after we accepted Honey Boo Boo,
02:42Cameron once again descends into the darkness of the ocean.
02:45Encountering Randy Newman along the way.
02:52While everyone else seems bored of his exploits, we can't get enough of them.
02:56Oh, and congrats on being the only Canadian in South Park who doesn't look like, well, every other Canadian.
03:02James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is...
03:07James Cameron.
03:09Number 7. Michael Jackson
03:11Here I am, blanket.
03:16Despite his alias of Michael Jefferson, it's obvious who South Park is targeting here.
03:20Guys, this is my dad, Michael Jeff...
03:22Jefferson. Michael Jefferson, yes.
03:24Hey, you wanna play with me?
03:26The childish singer has made numerous appearances over the years,
03:29most notably in the episode when he moves to South Park to get away from the constant accusations.
03:34I'm sick and tired of people harassing Mr. Jefferson.
03:37All I've been hearing since Mr. Jefferson moved here are sick lies.
03:40After his neglected son, Blanket, makes friends with Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman,
03:44Jackson, sorry, Jefferson tries to join the fun as a way of living out the childhood he missed.
03:48Would you like to ride the train with me and start a magical journey?
03:55Yes, I would, Mr. Jefferson. You're so awesome, Mr. Jefferson.
04:00Even as a ghost or a hologram, the infantile MJ can't deal with what people say about him.
04:06So ignorant. You guys are ignorant.
04:09Number 6. Oprah Winfrey
04:11James Fry originally released A Million Little Pieces as a memoir,
04:15only to admit that it was a work of fiction.
04:17He appeared on Oprah before and after the news broke, and South Park decided to have a little fun.
04:23A Million Little Fibers turned Towelie into a Fry proxy,
04:27and when he appears on Winfrey's show, things really take a turn for the worse.
04:32You lied to all these people, and for what? To make money?
04:36They bought your book thinking it was true.
04:39Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
04:41But I thought you said, how dare you lie to me and make me look foolish?
04:45Certain private portions of Oprah's anatomy are heavily featured throughout the episode,
04:50including one of them who decides to pull out a gun, take hostages, and make a series of demands.
04:56Not only does it mock Oprah's mistake about Fry's book,
04:59but it takes a real jab at her personal choices.
05:02I've shown my fans that, uh, ow, what?
05:08Barbara Streisand
05:09Hey, no wonder that Barbara Streisand lady wanted it.
05:11Oh, who is that?
05:14Oh, just this really, really old lady who wishes she was still only 45.
05:20The singer has been cited as Matt Stone and Trey Parker's most hated celebrity,
05:23and she certainly gets one of the more abstract treatments of any famous person.
05:27Barbara!
05:34Depicted as Mecca Streisand, she destroys South Park
05:37after obtaining an ancient artifact from the boys by torturing them with her singing.
05:41I don't know how much more I can take, dude.
05:43All right, you asked for it.
05:46I'm gonna tell you now.
05:51It takes the likes of Leonard Maltin, Sidney Poitier, and Robert Smith of The Cure
05:55to eventually destroy her with their kaiju transformation abilities.
05:58But Tom Cruise and his fellow pissed-off celebrities later revive her.
06:02Great scuff! It's Barbara Streisand!
06:08I thought Barbara Streisand had been destroyed by the rabbits' smears.
06:11This time, only a duet with Neil Diamond can mollify the gargantuan robotic musical diva.
06:16Well, that's because I loved you, girl, and I still love you now.
06:21Now, what have you got to say?
06:29I was just standing here, and Tom Cruise locked himself in the closet.
06:33I asked myself, why won't Tom Cruise just come out the closet?
06:37This is another quick cameo, but one that blends so well with the episode's hilarious premise
06:42that we couldn't bring ourselves to not include it.
06:45With Tom Cruise refusing to come out of the closet, literally of course,
06:49the police get this R&B singer to try and persuade him.
06:56In a callback to Kelly's infamous opera Trapped in the Closet,
06:59he tries to serenade Cruise to come out, only to end up locked up with him.
07:04And all this just adds another layer of crazy to this episode.
07:07How big is that closet anyway?
07:20Did you miss me, buttercup?
07:22A very different version of the real-life Saddam Hussein features heavily
07:26in South Park's feature film as one of the main antagonists.
07:29Meet Saddam Hussein, my new partner in evil.
07:33The former president of Iraq is given a whiny, high-pitched voice,
07:36as well as the typical split-head appearance usually saved for Canadian characters.
07:40Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi dictator?
07:42Hey, relax, guy. I'm just your average Joe. Take a rest.
07:46His first appearance saw him try to take over Canada,
07:48but a mass fart killed him.
07:50They're using chemical warfare. How could they?
07:53This sent him to hell, where he presumably began his romantic relationship with Satan.
07:58What's it like up on Earth, Saddam? Tell me about it again.
08:01Ah, let's not talk. Let's get busy.
08:03All in all, his was a fitting reimagination of one of the most hated men of the 21st century.
08:08Well, fitting for South Park in any case.
08:11Number two, Kanye West.
08:13Hey, man, I'm a genius, all right? I'm the most talented musician in the world.
08:16Never have fish sticks been so funny. Well, unless you're Yeezy.
08:20No, because you said you like fish sticks, Kanye. Don't you get it?
08:23You see, fish dicks is a play on words.
08:26Apparently, Kanye is the only one who doesn't understand the childish gag,
08:29as he goes on a murderous rampage in his attempt to have the joke explained.
08:33I ain't gonna hurt you. I pay people to do that for me.
08:37Ah, shit. Oh, no, man. Come on. I ain't got no dick, man.
08:41Now content, he wastes no time mingling with other seafaring creatures.
08:45He eventually sets his ego aside and accepts his life as a gay fish.
08:50I wanted to live free with other creatures like me, and now I got my wish.
08:55Cause I know that I'm a gay fish, gay fish.
08:58However, he eventually decides to marry a hobbit.
09:01If she was here, you could all see for yourself how beautiful she is.
09:04But she can't be here because she has a movie coming out on Friday,
09:08directed by Peter Jackson, called The Hobbit.
09:11This depiction perfectly captures the rapper's egotistical nature,
09:14while throwing in just enough trademark South Park randomness
09:17to make this the ultimate celebrity send-up.
09:19My girl ain't no hobbit. Please God tell me I'm not engaged to no hobbit.
09:24She is not a hobbit.

09:54All aspects of Cruise's controversial personality and lifestyle
09:57are heavily parodied in the classic and controversial episode,
10:00Trapped in the Closet.
10:04The frozen alien bodies were loaded onto Xenu's galactic cruisers,
10:07which looked like DC-8s, except with rocket engines.
10:10When he's led to believe that Stan is the reincarnation of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard,
10:15Cruise sycophantically seeks his approval.
10:17L. Ron? L. Ron! It really is you! Oh, this is the greatest day of my life.
10:24Aw, dude, I need to go to bed.
10:26He's utterly devastated when Stan admits he's not as good an actor as some others in Hollywood.
10:30So he barricades himself away and waits for various celebs to attempt to lure him out of the literal closet.
10:36Tom? Tom, it's Nicole.
10:40Hi, Nicole.
10:42Tom, don't you think this has gone on long enough?
10:44It's time for you to come out of the closet.
10:47The real-life Cruise had a rerun of the episode Banned,
10:50an act that likely fueled subsequent shots at Tom in later South Park episodes.
10:55What did you call me?
10:56Who would you like to see South Park make fun of?
