=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. Cartman believes the film was Mel Gibson's way of rallying people against the Jews, and idolizes him for it. Stan and Kenny, on the other hand, are so disgusted by the movie that they decides they wants their money back. He and Kenny go to Gibson's house, only to discover that he is crazy. He threatens them with a pistol so they steal the money from his wallet and run away. He follows them back to South Park. He claims that saying his movie sucked is like saying Christianity sucks. Stan counters by saying that Christianity is fine, but focusing on how people died ends up with really bad results, convincing the town that Mel Gibson was wrong all along.
In the South Park episode, "Imaginationland", Mel Gibson helps the United States government in coming up with ideas on how to fight the terrorists of Imaginationland.
