WORKING fast, “South Park” has gotten a new storyline into tonight’s episode parodying the Florida Fiasco.
Tonight’s episode will feature a deadlocked election for kindergarten class president.
“The [election-themed story-line] kind of wrote itself,” the show’s co-creator, Matt Stone said. “When you put this same situation in with kindergartners, everyone’s actions kind of make a lot more sense.”
The episode was expected to be completed around 9 a.m. this morning, one of its creators told The Post.
“We finish [episodes] this late all the time,” Stone said. “It’s probably one of the only advantages to being the biggest procrastinators in the world.”
Most animated TV shows, such as “The Simpsons,” take months to create – which leaves jokes based on very current events to the late-night talk-show hosts like David Letterman and Jay Leno.
But using computers similar to those used to animated the dinosaurs in “Jurassic Park,” “South Park” creators Stone and Trey Parker, along with a team of 70 animators, computer engineers and actors, have devised a technique that allows them to build an episode in less than a week.
