List of South Park episodes

"Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" is episode 46 of Comedy Central's animated television series South Park. An album of comedic holiday songs, some featured in the episode, and others exclusive to the album, or featured in other episodes, was released the week prior to the episode's original air date, December 1, 1999. In September 2008, Russian prosecutors filed a motion to ban the series based on complaints received about this episode.[1]

Contents

Episode

The episode is styled as a variety show and features Mr. Hankey as the host; he sits by the fire in his sewer home and introduces shorts featuring unusual holiday songs. The episode was dedicated to Mary Kay Bergman, the voice of most of the female characters on the show, who committed suicide less than a month earlier. Since the episode features audio from the Christmas Classics album, which had been recorded months earlier, it marks the final episode in which Bergman's voice appears.

Songs/scenes

  1. "Mr. Hankey The Christmas Poo", performed by a postman (who visually resembles the "S.D. Kluger" character from Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town), Mr. Hankey and the students of South Park Elementary (students voiced by the voice actors of Ike Broflovski)
  2. "Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel", performed by Kyle Broflovski, with Eric Cartman, Stan Marsh, and Gerald, Sheila and Ike Broflovski
  3. "O Tannenbaum", performed by an Adolf Hitler character
  4. "Christmas Time In Hell", performed by Satan and the damned
  5. "Carol of the Bells", performed by Mr. Mackey
  6. "O Holy Night", incorrectly performed by Eric Cartman
  7. "Merry Fucking Christmas", performed by Mr. Garrison
  8. "I Saw Three Ships", performed by Shelley Marsh
  9. A Christmas medley performed by Jesus and Santa Claus as lounge singers, featuring: "Joy to the World", "Up On the House Top", "Away in a Manger", "O Come All Ye Faithful", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "Silent Night", "Rio", and "Let it Snow"
  10. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", performed by Mr. Hankey and the cast. Kenny is killed here when a chandelier falls on him.
  11. During the ending credits a reprise of "Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel" plays.

"Fighting the frizzies, at eleven."

After every commercial break, a live action segment featuring a news anchor is shown, saying "Fighting the frizzies, at eleven." In the DVD commentary, Stone and Parker indicate this is a reference to a bootleg tape of The Star Wars Holiday Special. The original tape featured a brief clip at the end from WCBS-TV featuring newscaster Rolland Smith informing viewers, "Fighting the frizzies, at eleven." However, while the original news ad was apparently referring to "frizzy" hair, the ending credits of this episode of South Park features the news anchor boxing a man in a giant fuzzy suit.[2]
