14:40 To elaborate: apparently all those years ago, John K actually tried to sue Matt and Trey over Mr. Hankey’s creation, accusing them of stealing the idea from a similar talking feces character he made for a series of comics. He supposedly got cocky and said he’d drop the lawsuit if the duo admitted to everyone that they liked Ren and Stimpy. However, Trey gave his honest thoughts that he just couldn’t get invested, saying the show had too much style and very little substance for people to actually connect with the plot or characters.
I would love to see Mr. Hankey’s return, even if his role is minor, because it’s like their christmas tradition. Never really knew people found him annoying but i guess it makes sense how some might not want the representation of Christmas to be a poece of shit. it would be a great comeback in south park
25:40 i just want to correct something here. Butters was actually conceived in the very first episode “Cartman gets an anal probe”, but only properly became a character in “two guys naked in a hot tub” which debuted almost exactly a month a after the movie.
The Problem With A Poo is such a dumb episode, but the biggest reason for me is that for an episode literally titled after the Apu documentary, it has so little to do with the Apu controversy at all. My rewrite of the episode would've gone like this: New person comes to South Park for Christmas and sees Mr. Hankey doing Mr. Hankey things around town. The new person is offended and calls out the town for letting a literal piece of shit hop around. South Park is very reluctant to get rid of Mr. Hankey, who's become something of a mascot for the town, but the new person brings up solid arguments: Mr. Hankey carries dozens of diseases, he unwittingly makes a mess wherever he goes, and it's not a good look for the town if their mascot is a piece of poop. So they finally decide it's time to let Mr. Hankey go, and he is sent off with a fond farewell. You could even keep the ending gag of Mr. Hankey moving to Springfield because Springfield is such an ugly town anyway and a living piece of poop is just one more reason to avoid it. _Now_ the episode has subtext, and it doesn't rip down Mr. Hankey's character to do it.
Santa being a badass in South Park, rippin' and tearin' terrorists and demonic critters, is one of my favorite parts of the Christmas episodes and what lore exists on the show. That said, Mister Hankey works great as a subversion and spoof of cheery Christmas specials and stuff aimed at youngsters, while also being surprisingly lighthearted as well. (EDIT: Welllll, at least the first episode with him) This ought to be an interesting essay. Also, having Chinese takeout on Christmas is great. :9
The story behind mr hanky is funnier then the character itself. I don’t not like Mr hanky but he’s not my favorite. Something about being told your poop would come out of the toilet and kill you is hilarious to me.
I was just thinking about Little Shop of Horrors when you mentioned "somewhere that's yellow♪" cause all the talk about sleep medicine got Sominex Suppertime stuck in my head
26:00 Fun fact, in some Spanish Nativity scenes, especially big ones, there is a character known as "caganer", who is precisely shown pulling down his pants and defecating, usually hidden or maybe under a bridge. So yeah, don't worry, Cornwallis, poo does have a role in Christmas. Small? Maybe. Memorable? Absolutely, it's like one of the most popular characters to put in Nativity sets
It feels less like they had an actual reason to retire him, and more like their over explicit disdain for early South Park things that was shown in a few instances in the recent seasons
"Your Christmas is over in half an hour" Alright Monk, come on now. It's Christmas. No need for hurtful words. Even of they are true. Lol Happy holidays!
9:06 You may be onto something with the bird shit being good luck. It shits in Kenny's mouth, and this is the first episode where Kenny survives until the end! Foreshadowing with birds. What is this, Attack on Titan? 🤣
Funny that that's the real origin of Mr Hankeys creation, I always kinda figured that it was just Trey and Matt making a comment on how they thought that Christmas and Christmas specials had become a big, over commercialized load of crap
31:47 I'd find ironic how the episode where they written off Mr.Hankey in the Problem with a Poo kind of aged badly when The Simpsons had to written out there character named Apu and there was a documentary entitled The Problem with Apu where they explained that the character is offensive to many people
Another irony is that the women of Springfield find Apu to be dateable before he married Manjula. In fact, there was a Valentine's Day episode where all of the men (asides from Ned, I think) were angry at Apu for being a loving husband to his wife.
Damn I didn’t even know apu was gone, I’m not the biggest simpsons guy but I always kind of felt like apu was one of the nicest adults in the show. Guess it’s not my call but had no Ill will against the guy
1:35 as much as Mr.Hankey may be my least favorite of the side characters But I'd felt they were a little harsh written him out of the show so fast at Season 22 and they should had brought him back for more Christmas themed episodes
Believe it or not, there are still people that sell real pine trees as christmas trees. How are they still in business? Well, it's either a christmas tree, or it's going to be a pile of firewood next to a rustic furniture set.
Tbh the first episode with Mr Hanky is the only one that actually made me laugh. The rest of the episodes he appears in i can take or leave, i neither like nor dislike him, he just only made me laugh once.
27:48 and I'd find Red Sleigh Down to be in my top 3 favorite South Park Christmas episode next It's Christmas Time in Canada and Woodland Critter Christmas if seeing Santa killing Woodland critters who worships the Devil is Wrong I Don't wanna be Right
38:19 Oh ant that the joke of irony of the Show that went through Seasonal rots (all jokes aside) I'd still do think The Simpsons has gotten better in it's Modern Seasons some what
Ls Mark reviewed every episode of South Park so far. It's a bummer because I was expecting you and Blooms to be a part of it just like Real Jim's and Lydia was part of his Simpsons video and Toon Tarriq was a part of his Family Guy vide
24:50 well SAD But True fact is we're still living in the post Covid era where is hard to back into the holiday Spirit of things and some people get the flu around this time year so yeah it SUCKS
I just gotta say your comment on isolation is so gaw damn true I know from experience I've been in both juvie & county jail (very minor crimes I might add) & juvie was by far worst than county because of the isolation tactics at least where I went I had to go to a big city 'cause there was none in my dinky hometown.. But Fuuuuuuu*k that noise never again it was in the top 10 most horrible experiences in my life
Not to be " that guy" but you forgot to mention the fact that most Christmas traditions are polytheistic/ Pagan in origin , y'know as long as we're being pedantic assholes we might as well be consistent lol
Ik u might not respond back but I used to watch South Park and I’m getting back into it I ENOJY UR VIDS SOOO MUCH 😤 tyyyyy and this is funny how I’m pooping watching thisss
Since they brought back Pi-Pi I wonder if they're going to bring back Saddam Hussein in the series because the last appearance we had of him was in the Oprah episode and was just a portrait of him
4:59 While Family Guy has gone downhill in it's recent seasons But I'd think The Simpsons has gotten better in there recent seasons with there character dynamics and there writing while Family Guy has gotten a little too mean spirited with there humor sure some times South Park can be mean spirited at times but they balance it out well with it's morals funny jokes and great characters
Just a little Bible trivia: Joseph of Arimathea was actually the guy who was responsible for burying Jesus, not Jesus' stepdad. South Park got it wrong. Though there *were* multiple Joes so I'll cut them some slack 😉
I don't really celebrate Christmas, I celebrate Yule. Yule is a winter festival that originates from ancient Germanic pagan traditions. It typically takes place around the winter solstice, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year, which usually occurs around December 21st. While Yule has pagan roots, it's also about honoring the cycles of nature and the rebirth of the sun. It's a time of reflection, setting intentions for the coming year, and appreciating the natural world.
th-cam.com/video/sHIB3Qmteg0/w-d-xo.html Haha, Terrance admitted doing something like it to Phillip in the movie. Trey? Matt? Do you have something you'd like to tell the class?
You could say that Mr.Hankey is a bit...
*Crappy*
Love the Poo Choo Train!
His son's pretty corny too.
@@Snowifying don’t spoil plz
@@Galaxyreal-TURRETER he spoiled the fact that Mr Hankey has a son with corn pieces in him 😅
Wind blowing.....

trey is based af sometimes. also just knowing him and matt were a thorn in john k's side for a good while just brings me joy
It’s not Christmas without Mr.Hankey the Christmas Poo.
@@GrassyTheGoat yea
@@GrassyTheGoat same here brother
I shot him for trying to steal my crack
He loves me i love you.....
I agree and so does the mr hankey I just made 🤪😂
“I’m festively plump” and “is this some kind of Jewish tradition?” are two excellent Cartman lines from that episode
I would love to see Mr. Hankey’s return, even if his role is minor, because it’s like their christmas tradition. Never really knew people found him annoying but i guess it makes sense how some might not want the representation of Christmas to be a poece of shit.
it would be a great comeback in south park

Yeah, i remember in the early dodgeball episode where Stan called him "Swanson" and that has always been a nickname i've had for Butters
"Think about how your poor mother has to clean that up!" that line makes me laugh ever time
The Problem With A Poo is such a dumb episode, but the biggest reason for me is that for an episode literally titled after the Apu documentary, it has so little to do with the Apu controversy at all. My rewrite of the episode would've gone like this:

A fun fact i remember. Poop actually is relevant to christmas. In some countries, theres a tradition to hide a pooping figure in nativity scenes
How many of you commenters are here seeing how South Park Snow Day made Mr Hankey the main villain of the game?
The story behind mr hanky is funnier then the character itself. I don’t not like Mr hanky but he’s not my favorite. Something about being told your poop would come out of the toilet and kill you is hilarious to me.
No one ever talks about Mr. Mackey singing jingles bells. That's my real favorite part of South Park Christmas.
carol of the bells but yes, it is in my opinion the greatest version of the song ever recorded.
@@MrYac-ie8ie thank you for correcting me. I never knew the name of the song. Lol.

22:54 it may not be the Best Christmas Episodes of South Park of Mr.Hankey's Christmas Classics but it's fun to watch for the Christmas songs
I liked Mr. Hankey in small amounts, but I understand why the creators retired him.
Mister Hankey the Christmas poo, he loves me and I love you
And so vicariously he loves you!
26:17 that Mr.Hankey impression was actually really Funny LOL
HAPPY HOLIDAYS KITTY MONK 🐱🎄
Funny that that's the real origin of Mr Hankeys creation, I always kinda figured that it was just Trey and Matt making a comment on how they thought that Christmas and Christmas specials had become a big, over commercialized load of crap
Keep up the good work Kitty! I love the South Park content!!
" THAT IS THE SOUND OF CLEAN WHITE SHORTS TURNING BROWN"
if you know you know
It's been the best show since 1997. I watch faithfully. I'd be gone without it. 💯

I'm willing to bet 90% of those offended had absolutely zero Indian ancestry.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year KittyMonk. Love your South Park Videos. 👍

I still hate that they got rid of Mr. Hankey. I really miss him.
Mr.Hankey The Christmas Poo he loves me I LOVE You
23:35
This is probably the best South Park joke ever in my opinion
9:44 and I think South Park got better when P.C. Principal came onboard
I'll be that person... you're not wrong about hydroxzine.
30:00 No wonder the character of Jesus Christ is like Kenny he may get killed one episode then the Easter episode he was brought back from the dead
Tbh the first episode with Mr Hanky is the only one that actually made me laugh.
The rest of the episodes he appears in i can take or leave, i neither like nor dislike him, he just only made me laugh once.
Man i almost forgot Mr. Hankey got kicked out of Southpark lol
26:24 to think I'd find it hilarious they parodied The Lion King when they were singing about Poo
9:18 Oh Hey I've seen The Force Awakens on Christmas too and I'd liked the Disney Sequel Trilogy of Star Wars
35:10 I'd bet the Hearing went down the Shitter
I got to see the Beetlejuice musical live a few days ago so that intro was super funny to me.
30:04 that was smart other bad guys, kill the Healer first
Oh boy I can't wait to watch the vid 😍
27:48 and I'd find Red Sleigh Down to be in my top 3 favorite South Park Christmas episode next It's Christmas Time in Canada and Woodland Critter Christmas if seeing Santa killing Woodland critters who worships the Devil is Wrong I Don't wanna be Right

16:48 I'm with Rick on this one it's Best NOT to think about it and my answer to that it's Magic Don't Question it
33:26 and that's Why I will Never Use Twitter
I've said much more screwed up things on Ambien than Mr. Hanky did.
Howdy ho... Kitty Monk-o.... merry Christmas from the uk
25:40 Hate to be that guy, but...
Butters was actually seen in the pilot, although he didn't speak
38:19 Oh ant that the joke of irony of the Show that went through Seasonal rots (all jokes aside) I'd still do think The Simpsons has gotten better in it's Modern Seasons some what

That Christmas sh*t was done soo dirty even Santa 🎅 couldn’t believe it.
It's funny to know that they didn't want to end up on MTV, yet where i live, back in 1998 when the show was released here it was ONLY aired on MTV
Yes most definitely
5:20 True Fact: I actually think American Dad is a lot better and funnier then Modern Day Family Guy
I think American Dad has always been better than FG, for the sole reason that it doesn’t use cutaway gags.
Mr.hanky should return as crampus or shtrampus as a evil poop
Well next to Rick and Morty South Park is now my main staple of Favorite Adult Cartoon
Just Listening 👂 via CD 💿 👋 his (Mr Hankeys ) Christmas 🤶 tv 📺 special !
I love the reference to the Beetlejuice musical
Haha,Me too. :)
Red sleigh down is an incredible episode
24:50 well SAD But True fact is we're still living in the post Covid era where is hard to back into the holiday Spirit of things and some people get the flu around this time year so yeah it SUCKS
Society needs Mr. Hanky.
I mean it was sad to see a classic character go but on the good side they brought back Towley

Okay, off topic, but at 13:52 Mr Hat blinks. What is the deal with the puppet? Is he alive?
Not just Joseph of Arimathea, but Jesus and all the Apostles (except Luke apparently) were Jewish

I don’t even like this show. I am literally just watching because these are always fun to watch, no matter the show you are reviewing.
Honestly mr Hankey is gross. A lot of south parks moments I don’t like because the grossness was to much and Mr hankey was on of them.
4:59 While Family Guy has gone downhill in it's recent seasons But I'd think The Simpsons has gotten better in there recent seasons with there character dynamics and there writing while Family Guy has gotten a little too mean spirited with there humor sure some times South Park can be mean spirited at times but they balance it out well with it's morals funny jokes and great characters
Did a ad, just came After a live premiere
we can all agree it would have bin extra funny if Mr hanky when to the family guy and specifically peters home
Just a little Bible trivia: Joseph of Arimathea was actually the guy who was responsible for burying Jesus, not Jesus' stepdad. South Park got it wrong. Though there *were* multiple Joes so I'll cut them some slack 😉
