I searched Lycos for Trey Parker and the results came up with a webpage that's seling a a cartoon made by Trey Parker back in 1992. It's called "American History" and it runs about 5 minutes. It's very similar to the constuction paper animation and the character's eyes look similar..... It's 10 bucks though..... ::coughs Real Player!!::

Are you sure it's not a scam? I've never heard of that short, in connection with Trey and Matt or otherwise. They have become famous/popular enough for people to start scamming the fans, so watch out.

Yes, it's true. Someone posted about finding out about this a while back, they had seen a description, but never saw the video. I think they saw it in some short film library/catalogue or something? Dunno.. the memory's pretty hazy, I didn't really read the message, just skimmed. But I do know that there's been mention of it before on the ng.

First there was American History made when Trey was in school at Colorado. He did it as a joke he said because he could not draw and it actually won a Silver Award or something in the film department so then he went on to do Frosty...where the Cartman character resembles Kenny..the cartman in this is skinny and then he made The Spirit of Christmas with Matt and THEN he did South Park...also during school he made Cannibal: The Musical and did not graduate becasue he was so busy making the film, he never attended classes!!!! And then finally Orgazmo which caught Zucker's attention and asked him to write for Zucker. Cool Guy.

If it is a scam, it's not because the video doesn't exist, it would be because the person offering it would just take the money and run. Trey on his own did a short called American History, which won some award for College Animation. It's legitimate.

Yes, it is legitimate. I saw "American History" shown at a Comedy Central South Park screening at the University of Colorado in Boulder a few weeks ago. The film is pretty goddamn funny and somewhat similar to SP. I noticed a few things in SP episodes that may have referenced to "History" - I'm not sure, I'm going to have to review my tapes.
I emailed the address that is listed on the "History" website and the guy seems to know a lot about Trey - or has a good source for inside info. Plus there are some pretty clean frame grabs from the movie on the site - seems more legit than people selling SP episodes taped off of TV.
For those interested the website is at
