Assuming the video description is to be believed this was traded on copied VHS tapes, much like the original South Park shorts were. I enjoy the thought that edits like this have existed longer than many may realize.

I discovered this old VCD in my collection, and couldn't find any reference to it. Made by Hot Ramen Video from around 1997 or thereabouts, it is a video mashup of NGE and SP that has Angels appearing in our favorite hick mountain town. It also brags of an "appearance" by Apollo Smile (don't believe the hype). Not much of an NGE fan, but I"m a huge South Park nut, so I had to get this. And now, I'm looking to share this little oddity with other heads. Source was a VHS traded tape, so don't complain about the quality.

Obviously, I don't own any rights. Neither did they.

There was a Babylon Park as well back in the 90s. I was working a table at a convention next to the people who made it.

That's pretty cool. I probably started watching the show a couple years after that, and my edits came from p2p. What kind of convention was it? Any memorable details?

Probably DragonCon, but I'm not 100% on that because I was a vendor at a bunch of them back then.

Looks like it was uploaded to YouTube, but 14 years ago, so the quality is awful. Back then they were selling it on VHS. I didn't know it was so short!

That happens to describe some of my favourite youtube videos.
