10 Best Movie Parodies In South Park
10. The Wizard Of Oz
Given the original Wizard of Oz movie is over 80 years-old, and the subject matter is so vivid in its imagery, it makes sense that nearly every comedy show has done a spoof. Futurama, The Powerpuff Girls, The Muppets; countless sketch shows have all paid tribute too.
"It's Christmas in Canada" sets itself apart from the rest. Rather than simply recasting the show's characters and doing a one-to-one recreation, the show uses the formula as a template.
The boys find themselves trying to rescue Ike from the Canadian government and must travel to see the Prime Minister of Canada. Their journey mirrors that of Dorothy's, making Canada more like Oz to emphasise the perceived weirdness of the country. Instead of a "Yellow Brick Road" the boys follow "The Only Road". Instead of a scarecrow, tin man, and lion, the boys help a mountie, a French Canadian, and a Newfoundlander. Naturally, the whole thing is a mad cap scheme developed by Saddam Hussein.
We also get to experience Cartman's high pitched, hysterical crying for mummy for the first time.
