One of my favorite aspects of South Park’s writing is how they come up with ideas for jokes and then find ways to use them topically later, like how the fish sticks joke was completely unrelated to Kanye but became tied him through a string of random associations and it ended up being the perfect joke for him to not understand. Reminds of the wheel of fortune “naggers” joke and how they had the idea for years, they just didn’t know how to incorporate it into an episode. Then the whole Michael Richards situation happens and they already have the absolute perfect set up for an episode. I think it’s one of the reasons their creativity is unmatched at times.
Gotta admit, I didn’t understand the fish stick debacle until I actually watched the original episode. I heard it referenced so often but until I saw the episode (and learned he’s been told it just absurdist humor yet still didn’t get) I was genuinely wondering if Kanye finally said something I truly believed too
My wife said “The reason they used Sea Man and the gay fish instead of Kanye in fractured butthole is because at that point it was wildly clear to everyone that Kanye was in a high level of mental instability and SP jokes aren’t about bullying mentally ill people it’s about satire and sociology.” And I totally agree with her
Kanye always needs imo if he’s not getting the help he needs and is being a menace then he deserves the shit mental illness or not it’s no excuse for how he’s acted

@@ComFurtI almost love that this episode was so influential that some people don’t even know the original song. I’ve met people who didn’t know about Heartless, but did know Gay Fish and that’s fucking hilarious to me
I'm surprised you didn't mention that after the VMA incident Comedy Central played the Gay Fish episode like 6 times in a row the next day. My gf at the time and I were losing it seeing that live.
@Johnny2Cellos There’s also this trivia fact on IMDB that after this episode’s first airing, Ye was dining at a Cheesecake Factory where the manager served him fishsticks as a joke. Unfortunately, it never mentioned how Ye responded afterwards
The only way he wasn't is if he wasn't a human being, because no one can argue that he wasn't evil. Even Cartman sees that, and he likely ate his own father, since a chef always tastes what they cook. Hitler was easily in the top 10 worst human beings in history. The fact some may have been worse disturbs me.
@@Johnny2Cellos I believe it's supposed to be very unprofessional, barebones and *cough* 'raw', reflecting his feelings to Kim I guess. Just look at the music video, terrible green screens on a stationary motorbike. Not convincing you to like it, it's just my theory.

Nah for real, I don’t even like Kanye like that but Bound 2 and all of Yeezus is a work of art. Bound 2 alone has Tyler, John Legend, and Rick Rubin in the credits
Love how in the Hobbit each time he starts to make the connection that Kim might be a Hobbit, he has to call her for talking points. My favorite line is him begging her on the phone for the truth. "Listen if you the Hobbit you gotta tell me right now cause Im making a fool of myself up here."
Kanye isn't in any way shape or form a genius. His music used to be really good and entertaining, but genius? Cmon. I understand he has a big fan base who love his art, which is great and all, but I find it hilarious how his fan boys and himself get so anal about when he is beeing made fun of. And there is so much to make fun of.
@@jlntpy1706 not gonna lie your completely undermining someone who took over both the music and fashion industries for over 20 years while keeping every album and release feeling fresh, unique and some of the best for both of the industries involved, so you saying hes not a genius just because you dont wanna see it is wild.

So cartman in previous episodes have shown he loves hitler, he's said in 1 episode, "if you could go back in time to stop hitler wouldn't you? I wouldn't because he's fucking awesome. But wouldn't you?" But now he says liking hitler is too far.
Speaking of Carlos Mencia, love him or hate him, he was YEARS ahead on Kanye. Him and Aries Spears did a Gold Digger parody on Mind of Mencia literally saying "ill admit I like Gold Digger/but kanye west is a crazy" etc. And then "calm down Kanye, settle down".

Short defense of Bound 2: the song is in fact a parody of Kanye on purpose. The misogynistic sex obsessed narcissist is exactly the image he had during the Dark Fantasy era, pointing it out in the song "I know I got a bad reputation Walk-around-always-mad reputation Leave-a-pretty-girl-sad reputation". This is all a play to the audience, giving them what they want after a whole album of trying to give them what they need (which is the opposite of what he intended on the first track On Sight). He winks at the audience with reference to Jerome from the sitcom Martin, a black sitcom starring Martin Lawrence, and Jerome's character was a parody of the stereotypical "ghetto black man" in the 90s. Kanye is playing a caricature of Kanye to win back some goodwill with the audience that hates the person he was.
Johnny I love you man, but the Bound 2 take is wild. The hook alone is magic incarnate. Yes the lyrics are kinda trash. We no longer get Kanye lines like "African American Express" and stuff but Bound 2 deserves more respect lmao
I do feel bad for him, even if those stories about what’s going on with him aren’t true. Just the actions themselves in my mind show he has some sort of disorder that needs real treatment. It doesn’t excuse the comments he made, but you can hope he gets the help he clearly needs
Bound 2 is such a classic… hating on a song because of the video is crazy. And the sink line is about his overwhelming lust, it all ties in to his ego..
I just thought the song was really really bad, it wasn’t just bc of the video lol. The sink line is obviously about lust that wasn’t confusing, it’s incredibly clear and simplistic. I get that a lot of you like it, I’m shocked but we don’t have to agree.
@@Johnny2Cellos i get that! i am a huge kanye fan, but i dont let that make me biased. i believe that you need to give everything its full chance and study it. i see you have a lot of comments about the song. sorry!

It upsets me that i used to call fishsticks, fishdicks when i was in highschool in the 90s... Ugh, i could have been rich had i known no one wvenr made that joke, lol 😂
Great video, really informative deep dive into South Park’s history with Kanye. The Fishsticks episode will always be one of the best outings South Park has to offer.
Most on the channel are just compilations with louder stuff mixed down, but I do have a couple ASMR re-records. If you’re into those, give em a watch, they don’t do as well, but I’d like to keep repackaging them
Fun fact during the vma incident they played the gay fish episode multiple times. Which implies someone who was in charge of scheduling that day is a swiftie, knows someone who’s a swiftie or the more likely but kinda boring answer is they saw potential airing that episode multiple times after that incident. I prefer the first two options
I don't think it necessarily means someone was a Swiftie. Basically everyone was ripping on him for that lmfao. It was as big of a meme as the Will Smith slap.
I did not know about the Kanye video game so that sidequest was funny but confused the hell out of me. Mow knowing what they were mocking makes it oh so funnier.
The only problem with this episode is that it doesn't land if you don't find that one joke funny. It doesn't land for me at all lol But it's funny to hear how they got to it and how excited they were about it though lol
As always a great video. I really love when you cover older topics because I was so much more invested in all of this when I was younger. It's a little like opening a time capsule.
Had a HORRIFIC day today and seeing this in my notifications made everything just a little bit better thank you so much Johnny for all you do your videos are such a delight especially the South Park ones bring me so much joy
The fact that Kanye…the actual human being himself…still actually doesn’t get the Fishsticks joke and thinks it’s about him somehow 10 YEARS AFTER is just poetic
i'm not a dedicated ye fan but i love his music. even bound 2! so it's hard to watch him turn into a real-life south park caricature over the years. even his latest album is mid at worst, unfinished at best. for the sake of his kids and supporters, i hope he gets the help he truly needs.

Most on the channel are just compilations with louder stuff mixed down, but I do have a couple ASMR re-records. If you’re into those, give em a watch, they don’t do as well, but I’d like to keep repackaging them
Fun fact during the vma incident they played the gay fish episode multiple times. Which implies someone who was in charge of scheduling that day is a swiftie, knows someone who’s a swiftie or the more likely but kinda boring answer is they saw potential airing that episode multiple times after that incident. I prefer the first two options
I don't think it necessarily means someone was a Swiftie. Basically everyone was ripping on him for that lmfao. It was as big of a meme as the Will Smith slap.
Not everything is about Taylor swift lmao
I did not know about the Kanye video game so that sidequest was funny but confused the hell out of me. Mow knowing what they were mocking makes it oh so funnier.

The health thing is kind of sad now. He is paying millions for nitrous and living with his dentist.
Eric Cartman being a believable stand-in for Ye is an indictment of Ye in and of itself.
You do not want to be like Cartman. Cartman is the worst.

I Don't like Kanye. But he's a person I would hate to see Kanye lose his mind completely. He needs a true friend someone real. He needs help.
Mencia begging him to just get it, is comedy gold...
The only problem with this episode is that it doesn't land if you don't find that one joke funny.
It doesn't land for me at all lol
But it's funny to hear how they got to it and how excited they were about it though lol
As always a great video. I really love when you cover older topics because I was so much more invested in all of this when I was younger. It's a little like opening a time capsule.
Never got why people thought people thought Kanye was some prolific genius
Yep. He's a giant DOUCHE!!
Great video ❤❤❤ gay fish always makes me laugh. I rewatch Bound 2 is still not good 😂😂
Do you plan to do any more South Park character studies. I think Mr. Mackey would be a good one. Nice video, by the way.
Definitely planning on doing Mackey!
Nice
Had a HORRIFIC day today and seeing this in my notifications made everything just a little bit better thank you so much Johnny for all you do your videos are such a delight especially the South Park ones bring me so much joy
Johnny I love you but we not taking that Bound 2 slander
I am genuinely concerned for yall
@@Johnny2Celloswe are concerned for you
The fact that Kanye…the actual human being himself…still actually doesn’t get the Fishsticks joke and thinks it’s about him somehow 10 YEARS AFTER is just poetic
It gave us Gay Fish,so I am even more grateful than amused.
i cannot describe how much lore i know about kanye and how obsessed i am with south park so yeah this video really is perfect.
Crazy part is, if Ye had a sense of humor, some humility and was less hateful, he'd actually be unstoppable.
He is a musical genius….i just wish he stayed at least a bit more self aware
I’m pretty sure he was playing into the joke
This episode should be titled: When South Park BROKE Kanye
you are HIGH if you think bound 2 is bad
Kanye is the music version of Bojack
Bound 2 is a banger
This is the video i didn't know i needed. Thanks for making it
Bound 2 is a musical masterpiece
Great video though loved it
And that's why you'll be a loser all your life!
@@HoneyBunny-69for being subjective in music?
This video made me FINALLY understand the joke (I’m not native english and just didn’t hear the sticks/dicks in there). Thank you.
i'm not a dedicated ye fan but i love his music. even bound 2! so it's hard to watch him turn into a real-life south park caricature over the years. even his latest album is mid at worst, unfinished at best. for the sake of his kids and supporters, i hope he gets the help he truly needs.
Bound 2 take is crazy
bound 2 is a fucking banger. stay in your lane.
