Team America

The Puppets: A collection of crime-fighters who, together, are Team America – in Team America: World Police (2004).

The Awesome: How about every single joyous scene? Basically a massive Hollywood blockbuster just acted out by marionettes, Team America has sex, explosions, violence, musical numbers and an evil villain in the form of Kim Jong-Il. A-maz-ing.

Operated By: Special effects guru Bob Mano and his team.

Puppet Trivia: Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to make Team America after coming across a re-run of Thunderbirds.
