Le Dead Friend Sketch est un court-métrage créé par Trey Parker et Matt Stone pour l'anniversaire des programmes de Monty Python, Python Night: 30 Years of Monty Python. Le croquis est une parodie de "Dead Parrot Sketch" de Monty Python, avec un Kenny décédé à la place du perroquet mort. Certaines des lignes sont des citations directes du croquis original. Le court métrage peut être visionné sur YouTube ici, mais pas dans son intégralité.
Biographie
Dans le sketch, Cartman ramène le corps de Kenny au Friend Store, qui est géré par Kyle. Cartman tente d'obtenir un remboursement pour un ami mort qu'il avait acheté moins de trente minutes auparavant, tandis que Kyle essaie de le convaincre que Kenny n'est pas mort du tout. Leur altercation est interrompue par un géant Terry Gilliam, qui attrape Cartman avant d'être écrasé par un pied animé géant, dans le style des propres dessins animés de Gilliam.
Il est alors révélé que Parker et Stone ont kidnappé la mère de Gilliam et la retiennent contre une rançon jusqu'à ce que Gilliam accepte de créer un dessin animé pour South Park.

| Dead Friend Sketch | |
| Trey and Matt sit in an office surrounded by South Park figurines and posters | |
| Hi, I'm Matt Stone | |
| And I'm Trey Parker, and here's the South Park tribute to Monty Python. | |
| South Park. A new store is seen: THE FRIEND STORE, with Friends 4 Sale. Cartman opens the door and enters hauling a large brown sack. He approaches the counter, behind which is Kyle. | |
| Can I help you? | |
| Yes. I wish to complain about the friend I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique. | |
| Oh, yes, the Kenny. What's wrong with him? | |
| I'll tell you what's wrong with him my lad. [pulls a dead and tattered Kenny from the sack] He's DEAD! | |
| Nonono, he's uuh, he's resting. | |
| Look asshole, I know a dead friend when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now! | |
| Nono, he's not dead, he's resting. Remarkable friend Kenny, isn't he? Great loyalty. | |
| Loyalty doesn't enter into it! He's stone DEAD! | |
| Nonononono, he's resting. | |
| All right then, if he's resting, I'll wake him up. [screams at Kenny's corpse] HELLO KENNY! I'VE GOT TEN DOLLARS FOR YOU KENNY! | |
| [walks up to the corpse and nudges it] There, he moved. | |
| No he didn't, that was you hitting him! | |
| I never... | |
| Yes, you did! | |
| [Michelangelo's David pops up] No, he didn't. [drops down] | |
| Yes he-! [realizes something's wrong] What was that? | |
| What was what? | |
| [Venus leans in] Why, nothing. Go back to bed. [moves out] | |
| [perplexed] What the hell's going o-? [notices someone else] Oooh, it's YOU! [approaches the camera] Alright buddy, you stop that right now! This is our show! [A hand picks him up and out of the store] Wha-ah? | |
| [a cutout, with the left hand holding Cartman, mimics him.] Hey, I'm not fat, I'm big-boned! | |
| [now in Terry's right hand] No you're not, you're bleedin' fat! | |
| [mimics Cartman] You shut up, hippy! | |
| Put me down! | |
| [now in Terry's other right hand] Stop that, stop that. | |
| Tell the little fat kid to piss off! | |
| [mimics Cartman] I'm not fat I'm big boned! | |
| Aaa- [a giant foot steps on them all - splat] | |
| End of sketch. The camera is back in the office with Trey and Matt | |
| Did ya like that? Good, 'cause we wanna do a whole lot more of those. | |
| Well, the problem is we don't have time. We'd like to get someone like Terry Gilliam to do South Park for us. | |
| Yeah, but now he's a big Hollywood director. | |
| And he doesn't really have time. That's why we kidnapped his mother. Zoom out, cameraman! [the camera zooms out to reveal "Mrs. Beatrice Gilliam" strapped to a chair next to Matt, who glances at her, and Trey addresses her] Say hi to Terry, mommy! | |
| Terry, please, please help me! | |
| Shut your hole! That's enough out of you! | |
| Well, I'm not going to be quiet. | |
| You will come work for us, Terry Gilliam, or we'll use your mother's DNA to duplicate you, and then make other little Terry Gilliams who'll come work for us! | |
| [begins while Matt speaks] Please! Please do what they say, Terry, and I won't embarrass you like I did on your twenty-fifth— | |
| SHUT UP! | |
| —anniversary show. | |
| [shouting over her] SHUT UP, SHUT UP! | |
| [jumps up and screams] SHUT UP!! | |
| [to the duo] I'm not going to... | |
| [jumps up and screams] SHUT YOUR MOUTH!! | |
| End of Tribute. Three constables appear to address the status of the missing mum. The middle constable speaks | |
| Mrs. Gilliam is still missing. So if anyone finds her, will you please return her to her son Terrence, who is worried stiff. Postage and packaging will be refunded so long as she is posted within the E.C. or the Republic of Ireland. And in a reusable envelope. Thank you. | |
