You'd have to drag Matt and Trey kicking and screaming back into directing with puppets again

I watch this every 9/11 it’s a tradition. A whack one but hey

God no, that film did not age particularly well. It was funny at the time, sorta, but it no longer works.

Yeah, that movie was a perfectly timed parody of the War On Terror(tm). For a sequel to work today, the background must be changed.

No. Trey and Matt have both said they’d never work with puppets again.

I don’t blame them. I wouldn’t make deals with puppets either—they’ve always got strings attached!

Not much has changed, yet. Twenty years from now they might need to change the team logo. For me the whole dicks and pussies spiel is still resonating.

America is still enforcing its own systems through military means, is it not? It most definitely would work.
