He's the South Park co-creator known for pushing the boundaries in order to secure a laugh.

And on Thursday night, Trey Parker revealed that not everyone is a fan - especially when they're the target of the joke.

Speaking with his creative partner Matt Stone on The Project, Trey talked about an awkward encounter with pop superstar Jennifer Lopez.

Matt and Trey were nominated for Best Original Song at the 2000 Academy Awards for a track in their South Park film, and chose to show up on the red carpet wearing dresses.

Matt wore a pink frock that was a send-up of the Ralph Lauren gown Gwyneth Paltrow wore a year earlier, when she won Best Actress at the awards.

Meanwhile, Trey mimicked Jennifer Lopez by wearing a replica of the infamous green Versace dress she wore just a month earlier at the 2000 Grammy Awards.

When asked on The Project: 'What's the best reaction you've gotten from a celebrity [who's been the subject of one of your jokes]?' it appeared that JLo didn't find imitation the best form of flattery.

'My favourite was... and I think it was because I wore her dress to the Oscars, was when we saw Jennifer Lopez at a party and all Jennifer Lopez did was walk past me and push me!' Trey recalled.

'That's pretty cool,' Matt remarked, before Trey conceded it was.

Over a decade later, the pair revealed they had taken acid before their trip down the red carpet at the awards.

The comedians are in Australia to promote their smash-hit musical The Book of Mormon, which is opening for the first time in Melbourne.

The Project co-host Carrie Bickmore revealed she saw the musical on Broadway whilst holidaying in New York, and remarked that it definitely wasn't like The Lion King, which she had seen the day before.

'We tried to write The Lion King and this is what came out,' the pair joked about the musical, which pokes fun at the Mormon faith.

In addition to The Book of Mormon and South Park, which soon celebrates 20 years on air, the pair are also behind the hit movie, Team America.
