Team America: Worl Police is a 2004 comedy film, written by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Pam Brady and directed by Trey Parker, who are also known for the popular animated series South Park. The film is a parody of romantics and their associated cliches and stereotypes, the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the resulting war, with particular humorous emphasis on the global implications of American politics, unilateralism and jingoism. The title of the movie itself is derived from domestic and international political criticisms that the U.S. frequently and autonomously tries to "police the world".
