Cannibal! The Musical (also known as Alferd Packer: The Musical) is a Black Comedy musical, aptly named and done by the boys behind South Park in their usual good taste. The story is all about legendary Colorado cannibal Alferd Packer, played by Trey Parker himself, backed by his crew of Humphrey, played by Stone, and other strange characters. Very strange Hilarity Ensues.The movie was made on a shoestring budget and it shows— Parker and Stone caved from pressure from friends to actually expand a fake trailer they made for an assignment in college into a real movie. The film itself was made in 1993 but released as a film in 1996 by Troma. Early South Park humor is evident. A lot of it parodies the musical Oklahoma!.The full movie can be watched for free online at the official site here, as well as the version with the DVD Commentary track. All the songs are downloadable for free as well. | |

That Reminds Me of a Song: Parodied. Swan's infamous "Snowman" song, which he sings at the worst times. The second time, though, one of the group loses it and just shoots him halfway through it. | |

Funny Background Event: In the first courtroom scene, the judge is very clearly bored with the proceedings. He's so bored he starts building a house of cards. After Humphrey makes dinner, when Noon starts up the "I Want" Song, Packer can be seen tasting (and clearly hating) whatever the hell it is Humphrey made. | |

Bilingual Bonus: Some of the lines spoken by the Japanese Indians translate as "This movie sucks" and "You're a stupid person". They also claim the name of their tribe is Nihonjin, which means "Japanese people". The hand signals Humphrey (Matt Stone) uses when first meeting the not-Indians is sign language for "Jesus Christ is Dead". | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| Cannibal! The Musical / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: In Real Life, there's a pretty good chance that Alferd Packer really did murder his compatriots and blame it on the deceased Shannon Bell, and he accordingly did 40 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter rather than getting off the hook. This is, of course, deliberately invoked as part of the film's lackadaisical approach to historical accuracy and mockery of the clash of values common in the period musicals it parodies. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: For all of his attitude issues and complaining, Miller is completely right about everything he is complaining about. Most especially his complaint about Packer's not knowing what he is doing. When the remaining group talks about killing another member for food, they want it to be Bell because he killed Swan. Bell quickly points out it was Packer's fault for getting them in this mess in the first place. | |

Overly Long Gag | |
| Cannibal! The Musical / int_a188ac4b | comment |
Overly-Long Gag: Packer's party arrive at a shop and every one of them greets the shopkeeper individually, with the shopkeeper always responding in kind and the camera panning back and forward every single time. Basically, it amounts to the audience hearing a lot of "howdy" or "howdy-do" over the course of a few seconds. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Cannibal! The Musical / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Played for Laughs. While he didn't directly murder his companions, Packer avoids punishment with causing the whole horrible situation (through his incompetence and creepy obsession with his horse) thanks to a legal technicality and rides off into the sunset. Almost certainly a parody of the above-mentioned Oklahoma!, where the protagonist literally gets away with murder because his victim was an asshole. Note that in Real Life, the same technicality did save Packer from the death sentence, he still did 40 years in prison. | |

Mood Dissonance: A big part of the humor. Despite the horrific and grim subject matter, the film's tone is bubbly and upbeat almost all throughout, in mockery of the fluffy musical period comedies the movie is parodying. | |

Content Warnings: Parodied. Placed after the end credits: "Due to the graphic nature of this film, it should not have been watched by small children." The film opens with a disclaimer stating that "The film's violent scenes have been edited out for your viewing pleasure", then immediately follows up with a scene where Packer hunts his companions down in the woods, beats one of them with their own severed arm, rips the tongue off another one and proceeds to chow it down. | |

Bestiality Is Depraved: When the party encounters a lamb, the sex-crazed Noon just happens to start taking his pants off to pee, causing his mortified companions to mistakenly think he has... unchaste intentions. And of course, Packer's relationship with his horse is constantly wavering uncomfortably close to this trope. | |
