Check out this hilarious lost training video for Universal Studios (split into two parts) that was created by the South Park guys, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. They were actually hired to create this video in back 1995 (in their pre-South Park days), but of course it was never used. Look for the many cameos by celebrities, porcelain deer and Seagram’s Wine Coolers (Seagram’s bought Universal Studios in 1995).
Thanks to Xeni for the tip!

OK, this is still hearsay, but I know a former vice president from Universal that was there when that was made. I also worked there as a contractor for a couple of years back in 2001 and 2002.
Apparently this video was a super-top-secret video for some executive retreat, and it was not intended for general distribution. She had a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy on VHS (this is in ‘99 or so). I also saw a bootleg copy at Chapman University around the same time, so it was definitely making the rounds.
MCA, Matsushita, Seagram, Vivendi, USA, and now NBC. Who will Universal merge with and then separate from next (after they realize there was nothing to gain by merging two dissimilar companies in the first place)? :)
