The South Park Mormon clip
I finally saw the South Park take on the foundations of Mormonism from a few seasons back. It’s maybe 90% accurate. Not too bad. I think Mormons would take issue with the dozens of holes Joseph Smith digs to find the plates (the angel told him where to dig), and with the assertion that no one else ever saw the golden plates. (Eleven men, most related to Smith, signed one of two documents saying they had seen the plates.) The “dum dum dum dum dum” editorializing does not have a scriptural referent as far as I know.
In a side note, Martin Harris, who is featured in the second half of the clip and who financed the publication of the Book of Mormon, is buried in a cemetery in Clarkston, Utah surrounded by literally dozens and figuratively millions of dead Godfreys, all of whom I am related to.
