What is Matt Stone's role on South Park?

If you read the article, than you would see that there is a link to ANOTHER article that explains more in-depth what Matt Stone's role is on the show. He still is a very active part of the show; just not in the sense that Trey Parker is. If both guys had the exact same personalities,and if they both did the same things as each other on the show, than there most likely would've been a clash of egos and the show would suffer.
#11 summed things up perfectly. It takes more than one person to make a great show and keep it running successfully. Both of them are good at what they do for the show and how they do it.

See Phish, that's where you are wrong when it comes to creative minds (like the article explained). When you are as creative as Trey you tend to have issues with other people criticizing your work, telling you things have to be changed due to reasons you don't think are valed et cetera. Imagine you work on a bit for an episode and someone tells you that it has to go because "You can not say that on TV" while everyone and ANYone does say it every day, think it, believe it and that's the whole reason why it is so friggin funny.

Also you tend to think your creativeness is more important than anything else. Everything "business" related. Paying the bills. Calculating the budget for an episode. All that.

So without Matt, Trey wouldn't be able to function. At all. He's giving Trey the room to be creative and you can not value this high enough for so many creative minds in history were limited by society from staying creative as long and as good as they can because society demands you to be productive in a way that can be measured. And you know how hard it is to measure art in dinero.

sounds like a Studio 60 arrangement, with matt and danny!

however, i do believe it would be a CRAPLOAD easier to deal with censors and execs than to come up with all that amazing material week after week!

if one of them were to die in a plane crash, i would hope its stone, cause parker is irreplaceable!

Justin Timberlake brought sexy back, gave some to Matt.

Ooooh, Matt Stone got sexy.

Thanks for the link. I have noticed this over the years. Not only in the credits, but also in interviews with the other people involved. They also say Trey this and Trey that. Never any love for Matt.

Apparently, he's the pitbull and Trey is the poet.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Yeah, I do.

Nowhere near as much as, say, Family Guy, which is tolerable at best, or The Simpsons, which is the antithesis of funny, but the episodes have all been about 7 out of 10 (or 5 out of 7). By this point they'd usually kick out a 9 or a 10.

Nothing has killed me as much as even the simple things, like Randy drawing a penis to demonstrate who was in trouble due to global warming. Haha, potty humor, but so well done.

MosquitoControl: Do you really think it has dipped this season? I'm not arguing with your opinion, but the Easter special still causes milk to shoot out of my nose, even when I am not drinking any. The strength of that episode alone could carry an entire season. SP is always up and down, as they transition from topical humor to zaniness to deep social issues.

Well, I'll climb down off my soapbox now, I've said my peace.

Stone is the Andrew Ridgley to Parker's George Michael.

Stone is Parker's "muse".
