Matt Damon: The Most Self-Deprecating Star In Hollywood Team America
This is perhaps the best-known example of Damon-mockery, albeit the only one on the list that he didn't participate in himself. South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone made puppets based on a number of left-leaning Hollywood celebrities for their movie, but the Damon one came out of the oven slightly melted and "retarded looking", according to the directors. They then decided to take that and run with it. The puppet's limited vocabulary (this Matt Damon can only say "Matt Damon") was inspired by an anecdote that Damon, a friend of theirs, related to them about the fact that fans kept shouting his own name at him.

Matt's face when he realises Guillermo is with Kemmel's show is brilliant - you can see it in his reluctant grin that he's thinking, 'oh no, he didn't just do that to me!' You can see he's walking away thinking 'the swine!' I absolutely love it.
As for Team America - I actually sometimes get frustrated by the constant quoting of that because, his ability for self deprecation aside, I genuinely rate Matt Damon as an actor, and I can't say ghim in that respect without yecting with 'Maaatt Daaamon', it can get so tedious if you're trying to enjoy a serious conversation about him. That said, I Read More
