It was fascinating to watch liberals and progressives react to P.C. Principal, because he was provocative in a way your characters hadn’t been in a while. You’d see people who were fine with horrific obscenity but who saw you lampooning this character and went, “Maybe Matt and Trey have gone too far this time.”
Stone: And it’s easiest for us to put that in because there is that kind of performative, online, white man that just goes crazy. That’s the guy we can make fun of the easiest and the most effectively. We know that guy. And that’s Trey’s impression of a frat boy, which is just funny. There are people like that who exist, but a character’s a character for a reason — it’s a ridiculous mashup.
Parker: Everyone knows that guy.
