You’ve probably already seen this if you watched the South Park episode about anti-bullying campaigns. But just in case, here’s the video it was parodying (and where Stan got his tic of chuckling after he says "in America"), from Cypress Ranch High School in the Houston suburbs. It’s pretty technically ambitious, getting as much of it as possible in one shot. The South Park version, with its cameos by any South Park elementary character the staff could fit in, sometimes seemed almost like an affectionate tribute to the original video, even though in context it’s supposed to be about Stan going overboard and making the whole issue about him.
