Trey Parker and Matt Stone's delightfully irreverent South Park doesn't typically forego a chance to put the latest societal or cultural fad through the ringer.
The creators revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that they have received numerous requests to cover the latest craze, Nintendo and Niantic's Pokemon GO (via IGN). To those who requested it, they'll be disappointed to learn that a Pokemon GO themed episode won't be coming, but not because they don't think the product is worth riffing on.
"What's really funny, people keep telling us about this Pokemon Go thing and asking if we're going to do something on that and I'm like 'We did, in 1999!'"Parker said during the panel.
In South Park's third season, the show debuted an episode titled Chinpokomon, where, you guessed it, the craze of little toy monsters hits South Park. While Pokemon GO does introduce some new things to that formula, I can see Stone and Parker not wanting to retread the same territory. Parker sarcastically quipped that it was their idea all along.
"I'm like 'they ripped off our f-ing thing!'"
