So, does South Park actually want to cancel The Simpsons, or what?
Last night, South Park aired “The Problem With A Poo,” which which tried to tackle a whole host of issues but, as our review noted, lacked a “coherent message.” The episode concluded with an unusually pointed call to cancel The Simpsons, which was maybe serious … or maybe sarcastic … or … who knows?
At the end of an episode that saw talking piece of shit Mr. Hanky become a stand-in for everyone from Rosanne Barr to Louis CK to Brett Kavanaugh, the character was exiled to The Simpsons’ Springfield, where he was welcomed with open arms by a South Park-ified version of the show’s supposedly bigotry-supporting cast. “He’ll have to find a place that accepts racist, awful beings like him,” Randy Marsh says, as Mr. Hankey drives away and is greeted enthusiastically by an exaggerated version of Apu.
