- shadus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+172Auditing lets him sleep at night, the scrapings of all the little invisible souls from his body, do you know how hard it is to sleep when you've got millions of souls crawling on you?
All hail Xenu! - CrispyPassion, on 10/12/2007, -7/+126Whatever lets him sleep at night.
- masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+106Apparently it took him a whole year to think of an excuse as to why he left.
- slushpuppie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+52 1. even though i realize your page is not a blog, i'm still going to call it blogspam.
2. why do you even want digg traffic? we don't click ads. most of us don't even see adds anymore.
3. profit? - Alfdog, on 10/12/2007, -6/+54"Didn't pay me enough"? come on... I'm sorry but "Shaft" hasn't exactly been a big draw for say... the past few decades. They were doing him a favor. How much work is it exactly to do voice overs?
- fober, on 10/12/2007, -0/+47What a pile of Tomcruisery.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+45Yeah, South Park hardly paid for all that auditing...
- ahatter, on 10/12/2007, -3/+47some of the best episodes have been from this season alone.
WoW episode anyone. - stonewaljacksn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44the fact that Isaac Hayes bitched about not getting paid enough, in spite of already being rich and famous, just shows how much of a complete joke scientology is. worship that money...
- BuddyDoQ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+43Although I am not the most loyal of watchers, South Park is like a fine wine. As it ages, it becomes tastier and more important.
The glory of South Park is that no matter your point of view, your religion, or your stance on the "issues," they show you that it's stupid and probably lacking in common sense. - HellifIno, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36Ya mighta got dugg up if you said "You bastard!" ... but you didn't.
- kethraal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35"How much work is it exactly to do voice overs?"
You'd be surprised. You typically do several takes of each line, so it's not just a 1:1 relationship between screen time and booth time.
That said, Chef didn't exactly have the most screen time, so I can't imagine he spent more than a couple hours a week recording. It is possible that he didn't get along with the staff -- which is a valid reason for leaving. The "not enough $$" excuse could be given just to make it seem like personal differences weren't the only reason he was leaving. - haggie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33Finding out the Isaac Hayes is a douchebag tool scientologist would be like finding out that the Fonz loved *****.
There are too few icons of cool and losing one to scientology is really depressing. - bolerobell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Not paid enough? I think it is a made up reason to justify his completely irrational decision to leave the show.
When Issac Hayes joined South Park, he was, by far, the most prominent cast member and he was there since episode 1. Prior to that, he was a bit of a wash up, but he did have that Oscar for the Shaft song, so I think he probably got a very nice deal. Combine that with the fact that South Park has now been on, what, 10 years? He gets royalties everytime a rerun of South Park is shown and he probably gets a slice of DVD sales. At this point in his South Park career, he'll be making a lot of money. It's the same reason that you don't see actors leave animated shows after even a few years of being on the air (see Flintstones, The Simpsons, Futurama, and Family Guy) because the actors are raking in the money with, let's face it, a very minimum amount of time required to put in.
No, money is not the issue here. Besides which, where will he go now? He has no other established career to go to. This isn't like an actor leaving a tv show to focus on a fledgling film career (like George Clooney leaving ER or David Caruso leaving NYPD Blue). Issac Hayes was already washed up when he got on to South Park. He doesn't have anything to fall back on, and even IF South Park wasn't paying much, a little is better than none at all.
I think him quitting is all about the Scientology, not the Benjamins. As others have said, his departure is conveinently timed alongside the "controversial" Scientology episodes, so I'm not buying the greedy angle. Hayes is only pretending to be greedy so as to not appear crazy. - Senturion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23I am still looking for the part where he "blasts" South Park.
"They didn't pay me enough" is hardly worthy of such a hyperbolic title. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22"WoW episode was the best one ever done. I hope they can top it some day, but I'm not going to hold my breath."
Uh, no. Scott Tennerman Must Die. - jpolacek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Isn't it funny how his decision just happened to occur exactly when they were making the scientology episode. I guess Isaac wants us all to believe that was just a coincidence. Yeah right!!
- nickelbagoffunk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+25"Flushaholybook.com was created to promote a serious dialogue about religion and belief. "
So, let me get this straight. In order to "promote a serious dialogue about religion", you created a amateurish annimation that lets you flush a chosen book down a toilet?
Okey dokey then. - MScrip, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22> "That said, Chef didn't exactly have the most screen time, so I can't imagine he spent more than a couple hours a week recording."
In fact, Isaac Hayes didn't even have to go to the South Park Studios to record his voice. They e-mailed his scripts, and he went to a local studio close to his home.
Talk about a dream job. He got paid thousands of dollars a minute. Then, he started doing potato chip commercials. Niiiiice. - DanteDefiance, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21"I wanna MAKE LOVE to your bare ***** Kyle"
- Tweedy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Rumor is that they wouldn't let him have vacation to celebrate Cruisemas...
- Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20@slushpuppie, you forgot the "???" stage :(
- jcenters, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18I's remember when Chef first joined that church of scientolology. He says to me, "Dad I want you meet Tom Cruise." So I turn to shake his hand, and turn out, he a eighty foot tall creature of the deep. He says to me, "Can I get about tree fity?"
"TREE FITY," I yell, "YOU GET AWAY FROM US YOU GODDAMN LOCH NESS MONSTAH! I AIN GIVIN YOU NO TREE FITY!"
it was *very* scary... - schlongmeister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15He was good for a while, it's just that the Super Adventure Club was more important.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16
"They didn't pay me enough." ..... he should ad to that: "I couldn't pay my Scientology bill on time!"
:))) - Otto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Isacc Hayes is NOT the voice of Optimus Prime in the upcoming movie. Peter Cullen is.
Peter Cullen is the original voice of Optimus Prime from the TV cartoon. - cardyology, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18Agreed, the bit in the WoW episode, where cartman's mum holds a bucket to his ass because he cant leave the computer, and he ***** all over her made me scream with laughter.
Sorry, I know thats nasty but its also hilarious. - geoken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Well, when you're trying to hit OT3 cheap $5k/per sessions auditing isn't going to cut it any more.
- jedikd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16umm, your "source" is quoting the NY Post article from the digg story....blog spam anyone?
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -11/+23What a jackass.
- MScrip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13> "South Park is an equal opportunity offender and I love it for that. It was only a matter of time before they got to Scientology."
Exactly. And, how many times has Cartman ripped on Kyle for being a Jew? Are Jewish people leaving the show next? - crewof502, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20L. RON HUBBARD WAS A GREAT MAN! DON'T MAKE FUN OF SCIENTOLOGY, WE'LL SUE YOUR ASS! YOU BEST JUST CONSIDER YOURSELF SUED! YOU'RE SO SUED! ;)
- DeepDoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12South Park is an equal opportunity offender and I love it for that. It was only a matter of time before they got to Scientology.
I like how the credits in the Scientology episode are all John Smith.
My favorite episodes are Chicken Lover, the WoW episode, and the one with the Ninja Weapons. - graemee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12The "Trapped in the Closet " episode is the best SP I've seen.
All hail Xenu. - opiv421, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13He felt "shafted." LOL
- Anrkist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12You sure are a quotable person Mr. Hayes.. "Yes I am" - They were quoting him eerily like the episode where Chef "comes back".
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Let's see...
Isaac Hayes laughed at making fun of:
Catholicism, Christianity, Judiasm, Conservativism, Liberalism, America, Japan, Canada, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Bill Clinton, Pro-War, Anti-War, Johnny Cochrane, Chef's parents being from Scotland and talking with deep south slave accents, etc.
But touch Scientology?
That's a no-no...
Good Riddance. I pray that Xenu infects him with a billion more souls of lost alien whatevers. - drmobutu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11That's because Scientologiest are intolerant of satire when it is directed at THEM.
- bloaded, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14Not defending him, but I'll play devil's advocate here and say that it might have been the last straw in a long line of events that disturbed him.
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11He didn't leave because of 'Scientology';.he left because he is a shamelessly arrogant , nearly-psychotic idiot and a liar.
His involvement with Scientology is merely a symptom of that psychosis, or an affirmation of it.
WHO CARES, Isaac? Crawl back under your rock with all the other insignificant, posturing, talentless, pathetic pseudo-musicians. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Manbearpig.

South Park Let;s Fighting Love Lyrics
Japanese -
Suba-ra-shi chin chin mono
Kintama no kame aru
Sore no oto saru bo bo
Iie! Ninja ga imasuuuuuuuu
Hey hey let's go kenka suru
Taisetsu na mono PROTECT MY BALLS!
Boku ga warui SO LET'S FIGHTING...
LET'S FIGHTING LOVE!
LET'S FIGHTING LOVE!
Kono uta chotto baka wa
Wake ga wakaranai
Eigo ga mecha-kucha Daijobu - WE DO IT ALL THE TIME!
English
Wonderful penis thing
There are hairs at balls
That's sound "saru bo bo"
No! Ninjas are here!
Hey hey let's go fighting!
Important thing protect my balls!
I am bad so let's fighting
Let's fighting love!
Let's fighting love!
This song is a little stupid
This isn't making sense
It's English is f**ked up
It's okay--we do it all the time! - sideshowRAHEEM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I'm a big fan if Isaac Hayes but what the ***** is he talking about, he had a fairly small part in a cable cartoon show how much money could he have wanted I believe South Park only has about 8-16 shows a year and he wasn't even in all of them. Its obvious Scientology was the reason he left if he would just admit it if he truly believes in that crazy religion than at least I could respect him for walking away.
- purple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I raise you 2 lawsuits. Royal flush, you lose!
Give me my money...oh wait, your financial stability has been run into the ground by Scientology. - gallagherFTW, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7NAMBLA episode, and the ManBearPig episode was amazing.
OH OH best one ever though, Scott Tenorman must die. "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaa. I made you eat your parentss!" - dvddesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Scott Tenorman Must Die and Woodland Critter Christmas are easily the two funniest things ever made for television in years.
- ardkoreForEVA, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7The church has him completely under there control. WHY ISAAC WHY!?!?!?
- DeepDoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"I've learned something today. Never, ever, ever piss off Eric Cartman"
LOL - millerbrad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Really? You're a Scientologist?
Congratulations, douche. - Afroman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5where the ***** did you get that he is the voice for Optimus Prime from?
Peter Cullen is the voice.. thats only been one fo the biggest selling points of the movie.. the original voice of the cartoon is doing him. -
