    Jimmy comes up with a hilarious joke known as the "fish sticks" joke, but Cartman ends up taking the credit for it (he was sitting on Jimmy's couch when he came up with it, but that is not what happened in Cartman's mind). Even worse, Kanye West is infuriated because he "does not get" the joke, and everyone keeps making fun of him for it.

    Good episode, the Kanye aspects bored me a little, especially near the end, but the episode as a whole was really funny with a good plot, I thought. So, my final grade for this episode is going to be in the "B" rangemoreless

    This was probably the best episode so far this season. Cartman's ridiculous fantasies, Kanye's song, and Matt and Trey's ripping of Carlos Mencia made this a great episode. "I'm not funny man. I just take jokes and repackage them in a Mexican accent." So true. I'm still hoping that Cartman will realize what an ass he is by the end of the series. The social commentary in this one was just super duper. I love how they portrayed Kanye. The movie had some great musical numbers, and this episode further showcases Matt and Trey's musical talents. Go on Youtube and type in "Gayfish." You'll listen to it many, many times.moreless

    The basis of this episode follows a joke created by Jimmy with in the episode is the "greatest joke of all time". It may be right. I find it pretty dumb, but its witty and made me laugh the first time I heard it.

    Like a classic South Park, this episode features the amazing musical genius of Kanye West and the awesome COMPLETELY original comedian Carlos Mencia. /s.
    The voice acting for both fit and the script on right on the spot. This episode killed them while centering on a fishstick joke. Classic South Park.

    When this episode aired, I was hit with the fishsticks joke at every corner. Needless to say, it was hilarious when my South Park-deprived friends got it.

    All in all, great episode that, imo, is the highlight of this season.moreless

    I dont know why everyone likes this episdoe so much.
    Cartman(cartman actually didnt help at all) and Timmy make a fishticks joke that becomes extremly popular.Everyone loves it exccept Kayne west who thinks it is aimed directly at him.KAyne hunts down the creator of the joke carlos mencia and realizes he just took credit for it. Then he finds timmy and cartman who have arguing who actually came up with the joke.Kayne west has a revelation about being true to himself and lets them go.

    The fishstick joke wasnt funny at all and that was half of the dialouge this episode is very predictable 6.5/10moreless

    • Santa Monica/Santa Maria: On the Wikipedia entry for Santa Monica Pier it is stated that the Kanye West video at the end of the episode plays there. But it might as well be Santa Maria, it's GTA San Andreas equivalent. Edit

    • Cartman's "Flame On!" line and subsequent bursting into flames is a reference to Johnny Storm, a.k.a. The Human Torch from The Fantastic Four. Edit
