Re: I Should Never Have Watched This Episode

I think it's pretty obvious that they are pretty content writing what they enjoy satirizing. Obviously they would like people to enjoy their work, but they aren't pandering to any audience. The truth is that they don't have to.
The making of episode where they are working on Humancentipad made this really, really obvious. they were pretty aware of the fact that not everyone appreciates poop humor as much as them, but it was the episode they wanted to write coming off of the Book of Mormon. I'm personally firmly in favor of fecal free comedy, but have to appreciate that they stick to what they enjoy. Most creative works turn out better when it is something the creator believes in.
However, it's rather insulting to see how often people are claiming that Trey ought to basically outsource his creation because some fans want each episode tailor suited to what they find entertaining.
And to think all this debate came on the basis of them doing a ridiculous live action reenactment scene to rip into reality television. Even more hilarious given how much of the griping is over how Trey has lost his creative touch by doing something different with the pop culture gags. Apparently creativity does not extend to screwing around with the formula or format once in awhile.
You're so right!

They've thought about it already, more than once, and the answer is the same: NO. Trey will write the scripts. He does have a team of consultants off which he can fine-tune the scripts, but they don't write any part of them for him. And I do believe I've said before that no one should submit any spec scripts to Matt and Trey here, 'cause they don't come here to get scripts.

Actually I would. And I'm sure the majority would as well. Besides, I thought it hilarious that they used 20-somethings to portray 10-somethings
I thought it was cool. It was unexpected and funny. I'd like to see more "curve balls" thrown at us; that is, more totally off-the-wall, unexpected twists such as this live action portrayed by actors twice as old as the characters that they portrayed. I can't wait to see what twist M&T have for us in Season 16B

Hmm...let me get this straight. SO if SP was made using real actors instead of animations, no one on this forum would like it anymore? Interesting.
