Braniff at the end of South Park?

[Northern Lights]

Anyone ever notice that at the end of the South Park show they show a Braniff 727 and have the phrase "believe it" or somehting like that?

Just thought that it was odd, and have never understood why it is there.

Perhaps Chperplt can enlighten us

I think this topic has been covered... repeatedly. Do a search on Braniff and you should find your answer.

Sorry SK, guessed I missed it so it can get "repeated" again.

Here you go!


"When Matt and Trey delivered the pilot to Comedy Central, they didn't have a bumper (you know, that card at the end of the show that tells you who created it).

Not having an appropriate company name or logo to use (Avenging Conscience notwithstanding), they tossed in the logo of Braniff Airlines - a defunct airline from the 60s and 70s - the music is the melody from "Cannibal." After the show aired, they were contacted by a company that owned the rights to the Braniff name and logo. An agreement was made to allow them the use of the logo on South Park broadcasts, but not on any other projects in the future.

Let that be a lesson to you kids. Always consult your lawyer."
