South Park Mocks NFL Replacement Referees!

Oh how I've missed South Park, the animated comedy sitcom, that can find humor in all the right places. Enter Monday Night Football's massive debacle with the replacement refs. 

This is good stuff. 

Given that the Seattle Seahawks basically stole won the game against the Green Bay Packers on a controversial call on one of the most unexpected last plays. As Russell Wilson heaved the ball into the end zone on a Hail Mary, it seems Packers' safety M.D. Jennings had securely intercepted the pass... only to have it stripped by Seahawks receiver Golden Tate and called a touchdown. With two replacement referees clearly giving contradicting signals, the play was officially reviewed and once again confirmed a touchdown... winning the game for the Seahawks.

I'm sure creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were licking their chops after seeing that!

In the South Park clip, the Pittsburgh Steelers kickoff to the Denver Broncos. Peyton Manning receives the "ball" and starts to make his way down to the end zone... while talking to everyone on the field. Once he reaches the end zone, he gives the "ball" to Steelers linebacker Lamarr Woodley. One ref then calls a touchdown and another signals for a safety.

Randy Marsh, who now appears to be Broncos head coach John Fox yells: "Oh yeah, nice going, replacement refs!"

The two refs then change their minds to call for both holding and intentional grounding penalties. They then turn to the instant-replay official, who after studying the play for quite some time, says: "F--k, it's a f--king field goal!"

"Yeah!" screams Marsh, emulating Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll after his team's controversial win.

South Park's ingenious duplication of the game deserves two cheers from Strahan!



The NFL replacement referees being mocked in this clip deserve three unimpressed McKaylas. C'mon man!
