Team America World Police is a 2004 puppet comedy film from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Its Pearl Harbor song parodies earnest love ballads by using Michael Bay's 2001 film Pearl Harbor as a benchmark for disappointment, a joke that quickly became one of the movie's most quoted musical moments. Clips from the song later spread on soundboards and in reaction videos, where the reference still works as shorthand for something romantic, dramatic, and badly executed at the same time.
