"The New Terrance and Phillip Movie Trailer" is the 84th episode of the Comedy Central series South Park. It originally aired on April 3, 2002. The episode parodies Russel Crowe's real life altercations as the boys must watch his show in order to watch a teaser for an upcoming Terrance and Philip Movie.
[edit] Plot synopsis
The boys (Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Butters) stay for the night at Stan's to see the new Terrance and Phillip movie trailer which will be shown during one of the commercial breaks of Fightin' Around the World with Russell Crowe. Shelley, Stan's sister, allows them to watch if they bring her tampons. Cartman thinks the TV's color is "saturated" and decides to fix a loose cable, causing the TV to explode. The boys leave to watch at Kyle's house, but force Ike away from the TV which causes Kyle's dad, Gerald Broflovski, to let Ike watch and the boys out.
Throughout the episode the Fightin' Around the World with Russell Crowe show depicts Crowe sailing the world with his tugboat friend Tugger and randomly beating up people due to his insecurity and anger problems, which parodies his real life altercations. He beats up different nationalities including Indians, Puerto Ricans and African Americans. He even fights his own editor; a reference to Crowe's appearance at the 2002 BAFTA awards that was cut out to fit into the BBC's tape-delayed broadcast and in which Crowe responded by using strong language during an argument with producer Malcolm Gerrie.The episode also parodies his musicial skills.
Since Cartman's place is being fumigated and Butters insists they cannot go to his house, they go to Chef's instead to watch on his new plasma TV. To their disappointment the trailer is not shown during the break and the TV transforms into a human exterminating robot. The TV wreaks havoc on the street and throughout the episode Chef is following while talking to the customer service hotline trying to stop it. The boys go to the bar but are forced to leave the bar since no children are allowed and arrive at "Shady Acres" retirement community where again, the trailer is not aired. The elderly wish to see their programme and force the boys out by flatulence.
Having nowhere else to go the boys try various houses such as Cartman's, Stan's and even the street but are cut short due to the fumagation, Stan's sister who due to no tampons floods the house with blood and the killer robot. They are finally able to watch at Butters' house, after he explains that the only reason he couldn't go into his house was that there was no babysitter. They arrive just in time to view the last commercial break. Terrance and Philip are then shown in cowboy outfits doing their typical fart routine. The title of the movie is revealed to be Asses of Fire 2, and is set to be released on June 21, 2002. The boys become ecstatic at having finally watched it. They also learn that Clyde taped it, so they can watch it over and over again.
