The video is now private so I can't check, but I've read that the disclaimer stated that it was an impersonation.

That's not why south park had that "disclaimer". South Park doesn't need it, it's a parody.

You're right, South Park doesnt need it either. But a disclaimer removes all doubt. The video doesnt need a disclaimer either, but they made it anyways to remove all doubt. And no, they disclaimed any notion that they are George Carlin. Admitting to a crime in a disclaimer is not what it said, that much should be obvious.
