Comedy Central has released a clip from the latest episode of
South Park. This week's episode,
"The Problem With Poo," turned our attention towards
the recent circus on Capitol Hill that was the Brett Kavanaugh SCOTUS hearing. But that wasn't the only controversial topic that
South Park took aim at this week. Matt Stone and Trey Parker also threw shade at Roseanne Barr and
The Simpsons.
As
we saw in this week's sneak peek,
"The Problem With Poo" was all about Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo, attending a hearing in which he attempted to defend himself for his previous behavior. In the episode, Mr. Hankey blamed his offensive tweets and "bad jokes" on Ambient, which is basically what Roseanne Barr said when attempting to justify her racist tweets directed at Valerie Jarret (which ultimately led to her firing from her ABC show).
But wait, there's more! When Mr. Hankey eventually loses his job as director of the annual holiday pageant, the fan-favorite turd bids the town of South Park farewell and drives off to find a home more tolerant of his behavior. He ends up in - where else - Springfield, home of
The Simpsons. Matt Stone and Trey Parker were sure to add a little emphasis to the dig by having Randy refer to it as a place that's "accepting of racist, awful beings," which is a reference to the show's racist portrayal of Southeast-Asian communities through Indian convenience store owner, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.
Check out the clip from this week's
South Park episode below and let us know what you thought of
"The Problem With A Poo."
Now that Mr. Hankey has been driven out of South Park, people can focus on a new cause: #CancelTheSimpsons.
