As part of a series for mtvU and MTVU.com called “Stand In,” “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone recently gave a surprise lecture to a writing class at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. I’ve posted a preview clip of the episode after the jump, and it’s pretty great. In about two minutes they provide more useful tips on storytelling than you’ll get out of a dumb 200 page “How to Write for Television” book by some doof with one IMDB credit to his name. And, naturally, they do it while being funny and crapping all over dumb Hollywood movies. I love these guys. There’s about a tenfinity percent chance I watch this episode when it’s available online.
The only bone I have to pick is this: eff these kids. “Oh, not much happened in class today. Just two of the AWESOMEST GUYS TO EVER AWESOME came to give a guest lecture in our class. NBD.” This infuriates me. In my time at college, the two coolest things to happen to me in class were: 1) A film professor told us about the time she met Eddie Griffin, and; 2) One time the professor didn’t show up and we went and got 40s and got daydrunk in the lecture hall. Ugh. I’m so green with envy that I’m afraid Kevin Smith might try to smoke me.

People who go to NYU think they are more entitled than any of the Ivy Leaguers, who are plenty unbearable in their own right.
Translation: I, too, am envious.
The creators of South Park crashed an NYU lecture hall, but the kids were really nonchalant about it, therefore I think they are douches. Nice.
I thought I saw a pink sweater that said VAGINA, but when I went back to check, it looked like that was an M instead of a V. So I guess it’s about that failed French defense initiative. Less interesting.
Anyway, that girl in the front row looked pretty excited when Matt & Trey showed up, and that one dude had a pretty huge smile on his face listening to the lecture, which I would’ve had as well. Also, the lecture looks like a pretty good one. I shall watch this.
Jesus, that is the douchest College I’ve ever seen. Matt and Trey show up to a lecture and they act like it’s chicken fingers night at the cafeteria. Why I was in college Paul Simon, the senator not the singer, showed up at one of my lectures and it was the worst thing ever. This is a thousand times more awesome than that.
Is this another shot at Family Guy?

Step 3: MAKE PROFIT!
Well, fuck NYU. Nothing like this would ever happen at the University of Alabama. All we get is a crazy old preacher telling us we are all forsaken.
