Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson is an actor known for roles in films such as Braveheart, and for his movie The Passion of the Christ.

Appearances
Gibson is featured prominently in the South Park episode, "The Passion of the Jew", in which the boys see The Passion of the Christ. In the episodes prior to "Passion...", Cartman continues to make assort disperaging remarks towards Kyle about being Jewish, while citing the "Passion of the Christ" as justification. Finally fed up, Kyle goes to see the film, and is horrified by how bloody and vicious Christ's death is. Completely shaken in his jewish beliefs, Kyle conceeds that Cartman is right in his oppinions. Seeing this as a sign, Cartman goes on to believe that the film was Mel Gibson's way of rallying people against the Jews, and idolizes him for it. As such Cartman recreates the Nazi party, under the guise of the "Mel Gibson Fan Club".

Stan and Kenny, on the other hand, after watching the film, are disgusted seeing it not as a film masterpiece as so many have claimed, but rather a 'snuff film' that completely sucked. They demand their money back, but the ticket guy snidely tells them that the only person who can give it to them is the film's producer, Mel Gibson himelf, followed by a sarcastic "Good luck". Infuriated by the crappy movie and the ticket guy's attitude, Stan and Kenny go to Gibson's house in Malibu, only to discover that Mel Gibson is not only a religious zealot, but also completely and totally insane. He threatens them with a pistol and runs around acting like the old Daffy Duck cartoons, all the while demanding that they torture him. While running for their lives, Stan and Kenny steal the 18 dollars from his wallet and escape (Gibson only had a twenty, so the put two dollars back in the wallet). Gibson however follows them back to South Park, where he begins to demand that the town torture him, all while Cartman praises him asking for approval. Gibson pays no mind ot Cartman or his group, instead becoming angered when he is again told his movie sucks. He angrily tells Stan and Kenny that saying his movie sucked is like saying Christianity sucks. Stan counters this arguement by saying that Christianity is fine, but focusing on how Jesus Christ died ends up with really bad results, convincing the town that Mel Gibson was wrong all along. Cartman seems somewhat disillusioned in Gibson, after Gibson gleefully defecates on his face.

In the South Park episode, "Imaginationland", the United States government requests the help of Hollywood directors in coming up with ideas on how to fight the terrorists of Imaginationland. Unfortunately their first two attempts with Michael Bay and M. Night Shyamalan prove to be unsuccessful as neither understands plot, but rather special effects and movie 'twists'. Gibson, however, despite still being completely insane, proves to have a good understanding of plot, as he suggests that the governement look at video footage from Imaginationland, and see if there is someone who doesn't belong there.

Gibson appears again, in a cameo role in South Park's 200th Episode, in which Tom Cruise organized 200 Celebrities, in filing a class-action lawsuit against the town of South Park for years of mockery and abuse. Its revealed however that the celebrities actually only want South Park to give them the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, so they can steal his power of not being ridiculed. He does not speak however.
