Story
Description
Cartman decides to help Jimmy with his comedy routine. They come up with the funniest joke of all time. All the late-night talk show hosts pick it up, and the whole country loves it - everyone except for Kanye West, who is immediately offended and confounded by the insinuation that he is a gay fish.

- "You hear that? NO GILLS. So I can't be a fish. And I'm a genius voice of a generation so I'm not gay." -Kanye
