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.

Behind The Scenes

• "The whole idea started on a Writer’s Retreat, visiting the Ballard Locks in Seattle- which is this place where you can see salmon jumping."
