Today, it's hard to say the name "Mel Gibson" without feeling a little sick to your stomach. The actor/director has said some truly terrible things and has managed to still secure work in Hollywood for some reason. It appears as though some people would prefer to remember the Gibson from the '90s when he was known for blockbuster entertainment like the "Mad Max" movies and "Braveheart."
However, there are those who always suspected Gibson had a few screws loose, like the team on "South Park." In the aftermath of Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ," "South Park" came out with a tribute to the film titled "The Passion of the Jew." In it, Stan and Kenny watch Gibson's movie only to determine that it sucks. They then track down the director to get their money back, and Gibson is positively cuckoo.
This episode, which also insinuates Gibson of antisemitism, came out in 2004, while Gibson's rant and subsequent arrest didn't happen until 2006. It seems like Trey Parker and Matt Stone picked up on things about Gibson's feelings from his movies long before he made them public.
