"South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" and Satan's lover
Saddam Hussein wasn't just killed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, he was sent to Hell, where he became Satan's lover in one of the most alarmingly dysfunctional sexual relationships in film history. Hussein was turned into such a preposterous cartoon that it would have been easy to forget he was a real person with a horrifying record of human rights abuses. Introduced originally on the show, Saddam really became a go-to character in the movie, and they so much fun with the character that they had to keep him around and continue to use him even after his relationship with Satan ended. - Drew McWeeny
Kim Jong-Il and "Team America: World Police"
Kim Jong-il was famous for being obsessed with film, and with Hollywood movies in particular, and there can be no doubt that he sat through Matt Stone and Trey Parker's lunatic puppet movie that roasted Gerry Anderson, Jerry Bruckheimer, Hollywood liberals and the seated dictator of North Korea with no mercy shown to anyone. One can only imagine what he thought of such remarkable moments as "I'm So Ronery" as he watched a deeply unflattering puppet version of himself sing about his emotions.
Whatever he thought, he took it on the chin and never threatened to destroy Comic-Con for showing early footage from the movie or destroy movie theaters when the film opened. Someone should tell his son that it's an honor to be called a creepy manipulative pseudo-Bond villain by Stone and Parker. No, really. - Drew McWeeny
