In an interview with Exclaim!, Stone and Parker recounted the time they received advice that they wished they had taken. When the show was first premiering, the duo attended the Aspen Comedy Festival and met some of the Monty Python team. They had a sit-down chat with the troupe when the topic of “South Park” and its success came up.
Parker recalled: “We said, ‘Yeah and we got this and we’re going to do that’ and Terry Gilliam said, ‘Don’t over-extend yourselves.'” Following the success of the Monty Python sketches and films, Gilliam went on to make movies like “Brazil” and “Time Bandits,” the latter of which Sean Connery at one point literally dubbed over-ambitious, so, he knows a thing or two about over-extending. He even worked for nearly 30 years on getting the 2018 film, “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” off the ground (via The New York Times).
Parker conceded that Gilliam was absolutely correct, saying, “We honestly haven’t been bored in two and a half years because we’ve gone straight from working on a movie to working on ‘South Park’ to working on a movie to working on ‘South Park’ with literally three days in between. We both really need to go get bored because that’s where you really come up with stuff.” Talk about over-extending.
