Two screenshots from South Park episode 313.
The South Park episode Hooked on Monkey Fonics, which originally aired on November 10, 1999, has a brief, inexplicable shot of Slovenia’s flag. You see it for a split second, before two parents burst into the room of their young, nerdy, home-schooled daughter Rebecca.
Why does she have a Slovenian flag on her door? No idea. It seems entirely random. As far as I can tell.
While stumbling around online looking for clues, I found this comment about it by a slightly angry Slovene:
"since whole family is weird and geek kind - I hate to think as it was meant that this family is originated from my country.Our people are whole different, we are anything but boring as those guys, neighter lame as that.We Slovenians are whole lot different, and I can’t imagine where on earth those assholes that decided to draw that flag on the doors had there mind that day.Stop doing drugs while making South Park and you’ll be just fine, mkay?"
His guess is probably as good as any.

I hate ppl who get offended so easily. There’s alot of weird and unusual families here in slovenia too. As an insurance agent, who gets around alot, I can veryfy that.
Maby the creators heard something about slovenia on the radio or tv and decided to make the family slovene. Nothing to be upset about.
Exactly. Why does he even care? A flag on the door could be like a poster kids have in their rooms to look up to someone/something. So Rebeccas family may be so f***ed up she want’s to get away… to Slovenia?
Anyway. Go out, the sun is shining. Don’t waste the day inside. Cheers.-
I would assume it was a sort of a jab at home-schooled kids, because who else would know where Slovenia is or the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia?
I actually think it’s cool that there is a Slovenian flag somewhere in South Park. Looking at the show, it could have been in a far far worse place than on the door of some girl’s room.
At least the flag wasnt flying in
Mr Hankey Poo’s (the Christmas Stool)
room. Now that would be cause for alarm.
Lots of people know where Slovenia is
and I bet that the american expression
as dead as a dormouse came from there
Speaking about stupidity and weirdness…
Slovenians dont’t have monopoly on them.
Read this:
Marcel (the one from Mladina) has also a weekly show on public TV. A couple of days ago he invited two members of the Slovenian band Laibach to his show. They were talking about their impressions from their three week tour in the US in November. So we learned, among other things, how in Seattle Laibach’s guru Peter Mlakar had been delivering a sermon to the American people at the beggining of the performance. Mlakar was harsh with his audience and told them what they deserved - that it was generally known to the whole world round how incredibly stupid Americans were…
The American public was happy to hear this and reacted enthusiasticlly. Laibach was needed to come to their town to tell them exactly that…
I think it was a reference to the ethnicity of the poor boy in the bubble, his family name was Lubitch, which probably is a Slovenian name. I think it’s COOL they had the flag, I meand DAMN product placement!!!
Companies like Coca-Cola and KFC pay good money for this kind of exposure.
I find it hilarious that the Slovenian flag is hanging on the girl’s door.
Maybe one of the writers was taking a jab at a Slovenian friend or something. Who cares… I love it.
omfg lol you guys have no life so what if theres a flag on the door atleast he didnt shit on it or something lol
God Bless Slovenia.
LOL, it’s cool… There’s also a Croatian flag in the last scene of “Carrie 2″ movie and that one wasn’t too successfull :-/
i am slovenian and i think that it is great…
One guy that works in Sauth park team is from Slovenia, that explanes the flag
Possibly because "slovenly" = "lazy". My least favorite english adjective
Slovenian flag proposal on web page:http://www.redzion.com/zsopss/
Im from Slovenia,and i dont have any problems with the flag.For me Sauth Park is best comedy ever.
Slovenly = (1515), “low, base, lewd,” later “untidy, dirty” (1568), from sloven “immoral woman” (c.1450), probably from M.Flem. sloovin “a scold,” related to sloef “untidy, shabby,” from P.Gmc. *slup- + O.Fr. suffix -ain, from L. -anus.
Lubitch NOT very Slovenian surname, LubiÄ??? or LjubiÄ?, probably has a more southern root. But never mind.
