Back in 2009,
South Park aired an episode based around the idea that
Kanye West is actually a gay fish,
or that he’s so insecure that a joke about him being a gay fish would
be enough to plunge him into an identity crisis. That episode, one of
the most famous in the show’s history, led to a
shockingly honest and non-pissed blog response from Kanye, though he did later threaten to “choke a
South Park writer with a fish stick” on record. (This was the same album where Kanye said “Fuck
SNL
and they whole staff.” Bill Hader: twice dissed!) Well, Kanye now has
more reason to get weirdly, conflictedly upset. Last night’s
South Park
season finale, titled “The Hobbit,” featured the return of Kanye, now a
“recovering gay fish” engaged to Kim Kardashian. This one, built around
ideas of Photoshop and body-image issues, is more targeted at Kim than
at Kanye, but there’s still plenty of stuff in there, including a “
Bound 2” parody. (If that response time strikes you as impressive, there’s also a bit about
Time naming Pope Francis as its Man Of The Year. That happened
yesterday.) Watch all of cartoon Kanye’s appearances below.
