South Park Top 10 Celebrity Impersonations

South Park: Top 10 Celebrity Impersonations

Rather than opt for genuine celebrity cameos, South Park pays homage to the greats by having characters perform hilarious impressions of them.

Not to be confused with celebrity parodies, of which there are many throughout South Park’s 23-season run. For as noted as the series has become for riding the “mockery is the highest form of flattery” card to its absolute extreme, South Park is also famous for its core crop of memorable, predominantly foul-mouthed original characters.

The following ten instances point to the range some of said South Park residents have shown when it comes to lampooning public figures with devastatingly laughable authenticity.

10 Mr. Garrison As President Trump

Just as Alec Baldwin may not have been prepared to regularly portray Donald Trump for a full term, so too were South Park showrunners Trey Parker and Matt Stone equally perplexed.

Met with the dilemma of moving forward with a Trumpified version of Mr. Garrison, intended as a temporary gag at first, the pair eventually found their fitting in the writer’s room. From then on, the combover and spray-tanned Garrison has appeared a couple of times a season to remind the South Park townsfolk and the American people alike just who they are toiling with.

9 Cartman As Jennifer Lopez

Like similar irreverent comedies they paved the way for like Chapelle’s Show and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, South Park has recognized the path to addressing social issues like racism and egregious perpetuation of stereotypes is not to avoid, but to lean into it. Crafting characters who speak to the deplorability of real-life people as a cautionary tale for audiences.

Enter Eric Cartman’s quasi-ventriloquist, attention-seeking hand impression of Jennifer Lopez. Cartman ungraciously, but nonetheless pridefully sang praises for tacos and Ben Affleck until season seven’s “Fat Butt and Pancake Head” reached its Mitch Connor-filled boiling point.

8 Kenny As Heaven’s “Keanu Reeves” Guy

Fresh off the hype of The Matrix franchise’s first two sequels, “Best Friends Forever” tabbed Kenny as Heaven’s “Keanu Reeves” Guy in their battle against Satan’s Army.

While Neo, Keanu Reeves’ character in The Matrix trilogy, navigated the titular Matrix, Kenny—ironically, and iconically the most morbid South Park resident—must navigate the afterlife terrain via PSP. He is their “the one” because, unlike others of his kind, Kenny truthfully operates according to video game logic. When he dies, his life almost always begins again come the start of the next episode.

7 Dr. Alphonse Mephesto As Marlon Brando

At the head of the inordinately-more reputable version of NAMBLA—this one representing the “North-American Marlon Brando Look-Alikes,” and not the alternative—was Dr. Alphonse Mephesto, South Park’s resident “mad” scientist.

Himself a riff on Brando’s eponymous role in The Island of Dr. Morneau (1996), Dr. Mephesto and the rest of his uncanny lookalike brigade team up with the FBI to reclaim their acronym after Cartman joins their pedophilia-promoting competitors who have besmirched their good name/acronym.

6 Cartman As Gordon Ramsay

Mix Randy’s overly gullible nature with a dash of Cartman on stilts, and taste the divine pleasure of the best celebrity impression to come out of… “Crème Fraîche.”

Uncharacteristically so, Cartman offers up a sure-fire impression of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay with nothing to gain for himself. Stan commissioned his friends to help him destroy his father’s obsessive culinary kick, and Cartman delivered “oy’s” and “not in my kitchen”‘s with various expletives woven throughout. Such devotion to the role makes one wonder where Cartman’s performative career could have traveled had James Cameron not ripped off “Dances With Smurfs.”

5 Cartman As Britney Spears

Posing as the future Halloween costume-inspiring AWESOM-O robot for season eight’s “AWESOME-O,” Cartman’s infiltrative motive to befriend Butters turned out to be in response to the latter earning a rare leg up in the realm of extortion. With footage of Cartman in drag as the “Toxic” singer while aggressively dancing with a cardboard cutout of Justin Timberlake, Butters holds Cartman’s reputation in his hands.

By episode’s end, not a single person was left to help Cartman pick up the pieces—not even members of the US military brass, who chose to instead taunt Cartman after also trying to weaponize his robot self earlier.

4 Cartman As Cupid

Having had a powerful force living inside him before—those who’ve seen the show’s pilot will know what we’re talking about—Cartman was still not prepared to become acquainted with the love he had inside him all along. Identifying himself as “Cupid Me,” Cartman’s curly-haired, arrow-wielding counterpart flies into others’ hearts as often as he giggles.

Within the series’ current continuity, only Cartman can see, hear, and interact with Cupid Cartman, begging the question: does Cupid Cartman really exist, or would he be a resident of Imaginationland?

3 Terrance And Phillip As Trey Parker And Matt Stone

As a clap back to parents maddened by their young children’s exposure to “toilet humor,” Parker and Stone flaunted that not even they were exempt from becoming the butt of their own joke.

Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny hold an affinity for a Canadian duo named Terrance and Phillip, low-brow comedians who have no act other than constantly farting on each other. Something South Parks’ staunchest, parental censor board-considerate critics had long-felt about its creators, even after Parker and Stone’s talents earned them an Oscar nomination.

2 Colonel Sanders As Scarface’s Alejandro Sosa

As a clear spoof of Scarface, Cartman becomes a KFC chicken-runner in “Medicinal Fried Chicken” for a syndicate operating on behalf of The Colonel himself. The Colonel, fully mimicking the string-puller Tony Montana rebelled against in the 1983 film, ruthlessly seeks revenge against a society that tossed his restaurants aside in favor of dispensaries amid the legalization of medical marijuana in Colorado.

1 Randy As Lorde

He was Lorde. Ya-ya..

Randy has worn many hats over the show’s run—and countless faces, as well, making the fact he retained the mustache while performing as the actual popstar Lorde all-the-more entertaining. Perhaps a commentary on the rising popularity of split personality narratives in the Hollywood mainstream, or merely a right-of-passage attempt to humble the latest new musician to release a hit song. Regardless, South Park pulled all the punches when it came to revealing Randy’s double-life.
