Terrance and Phillip are a comedic duo who live in Canada, voiced by Matt Stone (Terrance) and Trey Parker (Phillip).

Appearance

Terrance (born Terrance Henry Stoot in the "small village" of Toronto) has black hair and wears a red shirt with a "T", while Phillip (Phillip Niles Argyle of Montréal) has blond hair and a blue shirt with a "P". Like virtually all Canadians in South Park, they are geometrically-figured with small beady eyes and Pac Man-like heads which flap up and down whenever they speak. According to Terrance in Canada on Strike, Phillip has diabetes, though this may have just been something to attempt to stop the strike that was going on before it gets out of hand. Terrance also gets fat after the fight with Phillip in Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow and stays that way since then. Although, he did look fairly thin in Canada on Strike again Meets The Queef Sisters.

TV Show

YongT&P

Terrance and Phillip's first televised appearance.

In South Park, Terrance and Philip are the stars of a popular children's television show. This show-within-a-show serves an interesting role; the parents of the South Park characters view Terrance and Phillip's obsessive fart gags in much the same way that many parents in the real world view South Park: with considerable contempt. The two characters have heavy accents, ostensibly to represent stereotypical American views of Canadians. (The "aboot" pronunciation has also been used in The Simpsons and Canadian Bacon. The fact their career is based on an accidental fart Phillip made on the The Ed Sullivan Show at the age of six, because that was the only part of their act Americans understood, may be saying something about Canadian perceptions of Americans.) The duo popularized a catchphrase in the show-within-a-show, as they would invariably say "You FAH-ted!" and then giggle to almost any farting sound. They are the favorite show of Stan, Kyle, Cartman and, Kenny as well as most of the South Park children


Oddly, early episodes reference the show as airing on "Cartoon Central" - a spoof of Comedy Central, where South Park airs - but newer episodes consistently state it as airing on "the Canadian Network." The Canadian Network cancels the show in [[Eat, Pray, Queef]]

Popularity

Terrance and Phillip are huge celebrities within the South Park universe, and have won the Nobel Peace Prize. In Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow they briefly broke up, but then were reunited.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

The Canadian comedic duo triggers a war between Canada and the United States with their foul-mouthed humor, especially the hit song "Uncle Fucka". The United States did not seek a UN resolution to invade Canadian territory, nor did it have a proper case of war citing self-defense. The Canadians were victims of American racial discrimination for which the United States did not even make a case of just war. The war was terminated when Satan and his consort Saddam Hussein made their appearance from Hell, awakening the two nations to their purposeless violence against each other. Unfortunately, the war was not stopped soon enough to save the Baldwin or Arquette families, who were a target of Canadian surgical strikes. In all, eight million people died in the conflict, but they all presumably came back to life because of Kenny's sacrifice.

Sexuality

While it is obvious that Terrance is heterosexual, Phillip's sexual orientation is, as of late, unknown. In Not Without My Anus, the following conversation is heard:

Terrance: Wow, Scott really hates us, Phillip.

Phillip: Yes. Perhaps he's homophobic.

Terrance: [wondering, then] But we're not gay, Phillip.

Phillip: We're not?

In numerous episodes, it is implied that Phillip has feelings for Terrance. In the film, Terrance claims that Phillip had once performed fellatio on him, while taking a picture, in a similar incident to Cartman Sucks, and when Sheila Broflovski kills Terrance, Phillip is extremely shocked and screams "TERRANCE!!!" in a mournful voice. While Terrance is seen having sex with random sluts when they broke up, what Phillip was doing is not known. He also claims that he did not know that Terrance used to date Celine Dione nor that he had a daughter (named Sally) with her. In The Return of Chef, it is also implied that Phillip had feelings for Chef, as he is seen weeping silently at Chef's funeral while Terrance consoles him.

In one episode Kyle also admits that the two kissed each other on screen.

In Eat, Pray, Queef Terance and Phillip marry the Queef Sisters(yet he could be a bisexual).

Family

Terrance used to date Canadian pop vocalist Celine Dione, and had a daughter with her. Their daughter, named Sally, is very close to her father and may have been an illegitimate birth, as Terrance tends to refer to her as "my bastard daughter".

Phillip's family has yet to be seen. </ref>
