24 Of The Funniest Movie Quotes From Team America

What if the organization dedicated to stopping terrorism… caused more damage than the terrorists? Mix in some original songs, clichés, stereotypes and an X-rated puppet sex scene and you have the 2004 film Team America. Written and directed by the creators of South Park, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, Team America depicts a paramilitary police known as “Team America: World Police”, who attempt to save the world from a terrorist plot led by North Korea’s Kim Jong-il. The film is a satire of both big-budget action films and the impact of United States politics around the world. Instead of actors or computer-generated characters, the film features supermarionettes similar to the popular 1960s British television show Thunderbirds. We’ve compiled a compilation of what we think are the best Team America quotes.

• Gary Johnston: We’re dicks! We’re reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong-Il is an asshole. Pussies don’t like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes – assholes who just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way, but the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is that sometimes they fuck too much, or fuck when it isn’t appropriate – and it takes a pussy to show ’em that. But sometimes pussies get so full of shit that they become assholes themselves because pussies are only an inch-and-a-half away from assholes. I don’t know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don’t let us fuck this asshole, we are going to have our dicks and our pussies all covered in shit.
• Lisa: (To Gary) You had me at “dicks fuck assholes”.

NERD NOTE: Team America had extreme difficulty in securing an acceptable rating for widespread theatrical release. Despite being resubmitted over 9 times with edits, the Motion Picture Association of America repeatedly gave the film an NC-17 rating. It finally received an R rating for violence, strong language and “graphic crude and sexual humor… all involving puppets”.

23) Everyone Has AIDS!

Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Everyone has AIDS!
And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS
It took from me my best friend
My only true pal
My only bright star (he died of AIDS)
Well I’m gonna march on Washington
Lead the fight and charge the brigades
There’s a hero inside of all of us
I’ll make them see everyone has AIDS
My father (AIDS!)
My sister (AIDS!)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS AIDS AIDS!)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades
Everyone has AIDS!
My grandma and my dog ‘ol blue (AIDS AIDS AIDS)
The pope has got it and so do you (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
C’mon everybody we’ve got quilting to do (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
We gotta break down these barricades, everyone has
AIDS! x 20

24) Pearl Harbor Sucked

I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbor
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
And that’s an awful lot
And now, now you’ve gone away
And all I’m trying to say
Is Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He’s way better than Ben Affleck
And now all I can think about is your smile

And that movie too
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you

Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
Just a little bit more than I miss you

About Team America

Team America, an international police force dedicated to maintaining global stability, learns that a power-hungry dictator is brokering weapons of mass destruction to terrorists. The heroes embark upon a harrowing mission to save the world. To infiltrate the terrorist network, Team America recruits Gary Johnston, a rising star on Broadway to go undercover. Although initially reluctant to sacrifice his promising career, Gary realizes that his acting gift is needed for a higher cause.

With the help of Team America leader Spotswoode and fellow members Chris, Sarah, Lisa and Joe, Gary slips into an arms dealer’s hideout where he discovers that the terrorists’ plot has already begun to unfold. From the pyramids of Cairo to the Panama Canal and finally to the palace of power-mad dictator Kim Jong-Il, Team America crisscrosses the globe on a desperate mission to preserve the very fabric of civilization.

NERD NOTE: Will there be a Team America 2? Fans of Team America: World Police want a sequel. But both Trey Parker and Matt Stone have both repeatedly said no to a Team America 2. Working with puppets was so difficult that Parker and Stone have both vowed to never work with puppets again. They also promised to never make a film with each other again. They already see each other enough each day from making South Park. Adding a film to their schedule is too much.
