Best episode out of Season 1.Kyle has to go to a mental hospital because everybody doesn't believe in the Christmas poo.Now,I already seen episodes like this,but this is the best one ever.And the ending was hilrailous.Kenny cheered because he didn't die when the THE END logo appeared.There's only one thing that was pretty cute.At the end,Mr Hankey kissed Kyle,leaving a poo mark on his cheek.Now,that was sweeter than anything.I don't know why he doesn't appear in episodes anymore.If he dies,then that'll suck.I mean,come on!Chef died,and I hope Ike doesn't get the same treatment.But let me tell you,of all the christmas specials of all time,this one is my personal favorite.Merry Christmas to all and to all,take a poo.

This is honestly the best episode of the first season of South Park! The music is excellent, the plot is excellent, the voices are excellent! The humor is even more excellent! This episode seems to have been well produced. More so than the other episodes of the first season. I enjoyed this episode very much! It didn't give me the Christmas feel since right now it's not Christmas, but it was a very great episode to watch.
Kyle is a jew on Christmas, but he hasn't given up hope for a Christmas role model. Catholics have Santa, Jews have Hankey the Christmas poo. What?! That's a funny thing.
This episode was hilarious!
Just goes to show that South Park can be funny in any holiday season. hide show
It's Christmas in South Park and Kyle's meddling mother puts the nativity story on hold, Kyle being Jewish segregates him from the other guys and a talking Christmas poo known as Mr. Hankey who can only be seen by Kyle also threatens to write him off forever. This episode probably had the most "firsts" of any episode: It's the first episode where Kenny doesn't die, the first Christmas episode, the first "official" appearence of Mr. Mackey, the first episode to mention that Kyle's Jewish (even though his Mother obviously couldn't be anything but) and the first episode to feature live - action. There's nothing harder the endure than a Christmas cliché and this one is especially cheesy but as South Park's charming predictability was a major factor in the early seasons, it can be forgiven. There is a witty take at angry crowds who can't help being offended by every little thing until the Christmas play consists of the kids wearing stockings and dancing to creepy, interpretive music. Basically the whole South Park cast is given an appearence and even a line each which is rare, especially now since many of the recurring characters have been dropped from the show, the now only semi - reguler character Chef (Isaac Hayes) drops in to drop a seductive tune which no doubt raises the demographic for this show to about 50/50. Mr. Garrison steals the show from right under Cartman's nose and Mr. Mackey gives a credible introduction, curiously all three of them are voiced by Trey Parker.
Graphically the standards are still poor but it hardly matters as the rest of the content is still good. With this episode we say "howdy ho" to Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo (hypersonically voiced by Trey Parker). He's lovable, well - meaning but the fact that he is just a piece of faeces and most of his lines sound like they've been written by a lame department store Santa it makes him a difficult character to get attached to, he's unoffically killed off in "Red Sleigh Down" but fans of him rejoice as this isn't until way into the 6th season. A very fun Christmas event, a must - see for fans.
Here is my review for this classic Christmas episode of "South Park". Because the holidays are coming up fast, I decided to make a review for it. Anyway, it's called "Mr. Hankey The Christmas Poo", and it's about all the townsfolk of South Park trying to make Christmas non-offensive for all religions after Mrs. Brofloski (Kyle's mom) gets upset about her son playing the role as Joseph in the Christmas pageant. Kyle then tells everybody about Mr. Hankey, a magical piece of poo that likes to celebrate Christmas, no matter what religion it is that people celebrate it. Kyle brings Mr. Hankey to school, and when he shows his friends, all they see is a regular piece of poo. Because of what's happening to Christmas in South Park, Cartman decides to sing an insultingly hilarious song about Kyle's mom. Mr. Hankey then attacks Cartman by flinging himself at Cartman, and he and the other boys think that Kyle has gone crazy and send him to a mental hospital. The next night, the people get bored watching the non-offensive version of the Christmas pageant and they immediately argue and fight. Chef then tells the boys how they can see Mr. Hankey (after realizing that Kyle wasn't crazy after all); and so, Mr. Hankey appears and tells everyone about the meaning of Christmas. This episode was hilarious the first time I saw it. It was even one of the first episodes of the show that Kenny DOESN'T die in. One of the best Christmas-related episodes of the show ever made.
So, Hankey's first appearence. The memories flush to my head as I write more and more Season 1 reviews. I enjoy South Park and Hankey Howdy-HO sure is a chocolate treat. I enjoy watching him laugh, dance, prance, talk and sing and I really find it entertaining to watch his little episodes even if they are dumb.
Now, the first episode of Season 1 was excellent and so is this. It may not live up to later Hankey Christmas episodes but it sure is swell, folks!
A real good episode, Mr. Hankey steals South Park as well as Ike Brofloski and Cartman's porn star of a mother.
