South Park apologizes for stealing Inception’s dialogue
October 26th, 2010 - 12:50 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Oct 25 (THAINDIAN NEWS) One of the creators of the hit TV show, South Park described the show’s production team as “stupid” during a phone interview. He was apologizing for picking a dialogue on the Internet and using it on one of the episodes.
Matt Stone who created the cartoon with Trey Parker said “It’s just because we do the show in six days, and we’re stupid and we just threw it together”.
He offered the apology to CollegeHumor.com where the dialogue was picked. During the interview, he said “But in the end, there are some lines that we had to call and apologize for”, admitting that those lines were picked from the website.
The dialogue was contained in a video that was created by Dan Gurewitch and David Young and posted on CollegeHumor.com. The video, “Inception Characters Don’t Understand Inception,” was posted on August 2 this year.
In the video on the website, there is a scene where some characters are trying to move a wounded colleague. A similar scene was created in last Wednesday’s episode of the cartoon series and a dialogue similar to the one in the video on the Internet.
On the Internet, the video contains a character that says, “We need to move to the next dream level before these projections kill us”. Another character on “South Park” said that, “We need to move them all to the next dream level before the projections kill them”. However if there was any doubt that the dialogue was picked, then the statement, “Sometimes my thoughts of my dead wife manifest themselves as trains” was exactly as was on the website.
