Episode Summary

The Sundance Film Festival moves to South Park after its original locale has turned from a quaint mountain town into another Los Angeles. At first, the town is happy to have all the people there boosting the local economy, but the Hollywood types start to impose. This is most harmful to Mr. Hankey, who has to live in the sewer when it's not Christmas. All the extra waste has disrupted his environment, causing him to slowly die. Kyle convinces him to come to the surface to confront the festival chairman.

    Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls hide show

    If you look at this episode's title it may seem very racist indeed but when you watch it it is not actually to do with Chef's skin colour but more about his recipes and Mr. Hankey the Christmas poo.
    An exciting and revealing episode of South Park Season 2 - this episode has scenes of actors, movies, Mr. Hankey, Chef and emotional scenes.
    I enjoyed this episode, though I cannot remember all of this treat but all I do remember is enjoying it... So I hope you do too.
    Mr. Hankey the Christmas poo - He loves me, I love you...
    ;D Good episode.

    Hooray, a Chef episode! hide show

    I enjoyed this episode. It makes me want to re-watch this episode. Because it was good.

    Humour: Excellant: This was gold of this episode. They had both clever and retarded jokes and moments.

    Plot: The plot was "decent". Nothing interesting happend in the plot. However, its decent enough to enjoy.

    This also is a Chef episode. Everyone loves a Chef episode. This episode is centered around Chef and Kyle. Both characters have different plots. Which added a twist to this episode.

    This episode is a much watch. It was really funny, if you didn't wacth it. I recommend you do watch it. Its genius.

    Another fairly good episode. hide show

    This episode had a fair few milestones in the series of South Park. First of all, it was the episode I think where Matt and Trey realized they might be onto something with, "Screw you guys, I'm going home.", it also marked the second coming or Mr Hankey, the Christmas Poo, in a better episode than the first one based around him. It also introduced the now famous song, "Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls." Some of my favourite quotes were, "They sure ran that one into the ground." and "Oh my god, I found a penny!""You bastard!" All is all, a solid episode.

    I'm Fred Savage! hide show

    As far as I know, this is the only episode to feature Mr. Hankey in a non-Christmas episode. Mr. Hankey delivers a lesson on why small towns should stay small, and Kenny is killed by trampling moviegoers (with a great punch line). Ah, yes. Finally, an episode with its focus mostly given to the children—particularly Kyle. Just when you think South Park can’t go any farther, Mr. Hankey floods the whole town with sh!t and dancing monsters made of sh!t. This episode was very funny and very clever throughout.

    Independent films are those black and white hippy movies. They're always about gay cowboys eating pudding. hide show

    This is one ofthe best Chef episodes I have ever seen, and how can you go wrong with a talking poo? This is Trey and Matt's assault on Sundance for not taking their film, and it is done quite well, so movie people stay the hell out of small towns, I would like to finish this off with Chefs little Song about his Salty Chocolate Balls [get your mind out of the gutter, it's cookies!].

    Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls Song:
    "Say everybody have you seen my balls?
    They're big and salty and brown.
    Whenever you need a fix, hook me up.
    Just stick my balls in my mouth.
    Ooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls.
    Put 'em in your mouth.
    Put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em and suck 'em."

  • Chef doesn't know what Cous Cous is in this episode but in Chef Aid, he does. []
  • Visitor Sighting: In some scenes during the film festival, an alien is sitting in the theater, you can see the top of its head. Later when the people are exiting the film festival (while killing Kenny) the alien comes out to. []
  • In the bathroom, Kyle sings the song "I Can See Clearly Now" by Jimmy Cliff. []
More Trivia
  • When the people leave the movie theatre and trample Kenny, you can see a visitor amongst the crowd (for a split second) []
  • There actually is an accurate and justified explanation to why Trey and Matt made fun of Robert Redford & the Sundance Film Festival in this episode.

    A mere couple years before South Park, before the Spirit of Christmas even, Trey and Matt had made a film in college called "Cannibal: The Musical"

    After Trey had completed the film, he and Matt sent the film to be submitted at the Sundance film festival in Utah, along with their $50.00 submission fee. Not only did they not get picked for the festival, they never got a response of any kind from Sundance. And from the looks of it their $50.00 check never got reimbursed. What's more, according to Lloyd Kaufman, the creator of the Toxic Avenger and producer of Cannibal: The musical, Matt and Trey actually went to Sundance and created their own film festival opposing Sundance and Matt and Trey's festival featured only one film. and, you guessed it, it was "Cannibal: The Musical"

    So, artistically speaking, Matt and Trey had every right to make fun of the Sundance film festival for not getting picked and for taking their money. []
  • In the "Makin' Bacon with Macon" segment before the episode on the second season DVD collection we learn that Robert Redford hates Matt and Trey because of this episode. []
  • Chef: Children, this whole film festival thing has quite lucrative monetary possibilities. Now I'm gonna sell some of my famous cookies to these Hollywood types and make a mint.
    Cartman: What kind of cookies?
    Kyle: Calm down tubby! []
  • Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls Song:
    Say everybody have you seen my balls?
    They're big and salty and brown.
    Whenever you need a fix, hook me up.
    Just stick my balls in my mouth.
    Ooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls.
    Put 'em in your mouth.
    Put 'em in your mouth and suck 'em and suck 'em. []
  • Chef: Get them while they're hot. My all new cookies, I Just Went And Fudged Your Momma.
    Cartman: Jesus, he sure ran that one into the ground. []
More Quotes
  • Phantom of the Opera: As Kyle is walking down the tunnel you can hear Mr. Hankey playing the organ. It is similar to a scene in the movie/play the Phantom of the Opera. []
  • Fantasia:

    When Mr. Hankey causes the sewers to flood the streets, the music from Fantasia(1940) begins to play, poo monsters rise from the muck and dance like the creatures in Fantasia. Also, Mr. Hankey wears the blue cap (with stars) and red robe that Mickey wears in the film, as he "conducts" the sewage. []
  • Philadelphia:

    The movie "Mr. Hankie and Me," is an obvious parody of the Oscar-winning 1993 film, Philadelphia, which starred Tom Hanks. []
