>> Hunter Hoover: His wife has a very clear drinking problem. I don't
0:05
think shes happy in their marriage.
0:09
They're also pieces of crap.
0:18
Welcome back to Privy.
0:21
Privy is a podcast about
0:23
bathrooms recorded
0:27
from my home bathroom. I'm your
0:29
host Hunter Hoover and I love
0:32
bathrooms. Happy
0:35
Privy Christmas everyone. It's our
0:38
month long celebration of the holiday season brought
0:41
to you by the bathroom Mat. Here's what I'm going to
0:44
say. Bathroom mats pretty great.
0:48
The bathroom mat has a purpose
0:51
on those cold nights. You know, it's
0:53
blustery, the wind's blowing, it's
0:55
howling. At the point of this episode's
0:58
record, we just survived what was called a
1:01
cyclone bomb. Never heard of it. Not sure it's
1:04
real, but it's, it's pretty much the wind blew really
1:07
hard and it got kind of cold and windy and rainy.
1:10
And on those cold nights, those blustery evenings
1:13
when you wake up in the middle of the night and level two
1:16
tummy grumble, your toesies get
1:18
cold when you're on minute 20 of sitting
1:21
on the pot and there's no mat between your feet
1:24
and the floor. So. So the bathroom
1:27
mat exists for a purpose. The trouble
1:30
is is the mat lands. You know, it gets thrown
1:33
in the wash or for some reason,
1:36
God only knows like
1:38
the, the bathroom mat gets moved and it's sitting
1:41
away from where it ought to live, around the bottom of the
1:44
toilet or at least at the feet section of the
1:47
toilet where it can keep my toesies warm.
1:50
Now you get ice toes in the middle of the night,
1:53
you get little, you get little frost bitten little
1:56
nubbins and it's no good.
1:59
And I think there's a market
2:02
for a heated bathroom mat
2:05
like the ones that go around the toilet. Heated bathroom
2:08
mats Tmtmtm.
2:11
In these colder months they need something between
2:14
our hoofies and the bathroom floor. The bathroom
2:17
floor is a cold floor. It's probably the
2:20
coldest floor in the house in my opinion. It just
2:23
is cold. You got to keep the
2:25
joints and the toes warm in the cool
2:28
of the evening. They do a number on them,
2:32
the temperatures dropping. And as we
2:35
begin December and a month of Privy Christmas,
2:38
we have a number of fun discussions for you. We've
2:41
had a couple of mystery guests in years
2:44
past and you know, I'm
2:47
hoping that it stays calm this year. I kind of,
2:49
you know, it's been nice hearing from Santa and
2:52
Mrs. Claus, but, but this privy Christmas I kind of
2:55
just, I kind of want to just remain calm.
2:58
Keep it low key and
3:01
I'm hoping, fingers crossed,
3:04
I'M finally going to get to bring to you
3:07
privies hunters privy top
3:10
10 holiday treats. @ long
3:13
last it's
3:15
cooler. And uh, and one thing we
3:18
do every year on Privy Christmas
3:21
is, is we have a.
3:24
We discuss and we look at and we just
3:26
really revel in the.
3:29
The beauty that is one of everyone's
3:32
most beloved holiday characters
3:36
to m. Do. So to kick off
3:39
privy Christmas 2024,
3:41
we got to take another trip back to the town
3:44
of south park to explore the
3:47
next installment of Mr. Hany's story,
3:51
which is brought to us via the south
3:54
park episode called A Very
3:56
Crappy Christmas
4:04
in the Past. For, for our look
4:07
at Mr. Hanky for the year, uh, uh,
4:09
we've discussed an ongoing controversy
4:13
around Mr. Hanky and, and another
4:15
seemingly anthropomorphic piece of
4:18
crap. Uh, and I'm not talking about our pre.
4:21
No, uh, name Nutty the
4:24
Friendly Nutty the Friendly Dump. Now
4:33
it's all but squash. Like this controversy is all
4:36
but squash. The creator of Mr. Hanky has
4:39
said that the claim that Mr. Hanky is simply a
4:42
copy and paste of Nutty the Friendly Dump is
4:45
patently false. They're obviously completely different
4:48
ideas. Totally original IPS.
4:51
When we met Mr. Hanky,
4:54
the nutty controversies maybe one of the diff.
4:57
More difficult things that the town of south park is faced.
5:00
They've been through it. The town of south park, they've faced some
5:03
adversity, but nothing could be quite as
5:05
detrimental to their town as the Nutty
5:08
controversy. And what
5:11
we find when we look at the Nutty
5:14
controversy is whatever Nutty the Friendly
5:16
Dump had going on, which is by the way,
5:19
his name. I don't call him that.
5:22
God called. That's his God given name.
5:25
Nutty the Friendly Dump. First name
5:28
Nutty, middle name the Friendly,
5:31
last name Dump. If you don't understand
5:34
my, my go here. But whether
5:37
he's the source material for Mr.
5:39
Hany, Mr. Hanky has truly
5:42
become so much m more than Nutty the Friendly
5:45
dog. When we met Mr. Hanky on his first
5:48
time out, it's kind of hard to tell if it's
5:50
like if, if Mr. Hanky's just like a figment of
5:53
one of the boys in South Park's brain or
5:56
if he's like really there,
5:59
that was what I struggle with. And it's not until we
6:02
find out that some character named Chef knows
6:05
all about Mr. Hanky as well that that we
6:08
begin to get a feel like, oh, like this
6:11
is a character. Now I must
6:14
also admit, and this is one of the facets
6:17
of of my watch
6:20
of Mr. Hanky is
6:23
I. I have never seen south
6:25
park other than the handful of
6:28
episodes that I've watched. For
6:31
our little tour of Mr. Hanky, I have
6:34
no knowledge of South Park. So in
6:37
my world, Mr. Hanky is
6:40
like the most pivotal core character to the
6:43
world of South Park. Turns out
6:46
some guy named chef knows Mr. Hanky as
6:48
well. And then when we see Mr. Hanky
6:51
again the following season, we find out that
6:54
Mr. Hanky lives in the sewers
6:57
underneath south park and that he has
7:00
cool electric wizard powers. So that's
7:03
pretty neat. He's like the brown
7:06
turd wizard that every story always
7:08
wanted, you know. In that
7:11
same season on the TV playing in the mall,
7:14
we see an episode of in the episode
7:17
Merry Christmas Charlie Manchion, a
7:19
TV show depicting
7:22
a kind of Mr. Hanky
7:25
version of a Christmas classic in the same in
7:28
in the vein and style of the
7:30
Grinch. So
7:33
not only is Mr. Hanky a pivotal and
7:36
core character to the world of south park,
7:39
we see the lore around Mr. Hanky has
7:42
become much more than just his
7:44
origin.
7:49
In his third real appearance,
7:52
Mr. Hanky last year we observed him
7:55
taking on the role of DJ Sl
7:58
host, wherein he highlights a
8:01
number of what I'm going to call alternative
8:03
holiday classics, which we covered at length in
8:06
last year's episode. Mr. Hanky
8:09
is an established member of the south park
8:11
world, but he also exists
8:14
in his own world. The Mr.
8:17
Hank verse. He is in many
8:20
ways a uh, south park celebrity, but he's
8:23
also, he's kind of like Iron man
8:26
where like Iron man in Iron
8:29
Man's stories meets real life people that
8:31
exist in real life. But Iron Man's not real.
8:34
Like Mr. Hanky meets real life people,
8:37
interacts with him, but he also has his own Mr.
8:40
Hanky universe. He's a South
8:43
park celebrity. I'm going toa tell
8:45
you this year
8:48
for uh, our Mr. Hanky special,
8:53
we are going to be looking at season
8:55
four, episode 17, which is the next
8:58
appearance of Mr. Hanky and it's called A
9:01
very crappy Christmas. On what I'm
9:04
calling here at Privy Christmas is our
9:07

9:13

9:45
this is gonna be is I'm going to do my best

9:57
watching along with us at home, uh, uh,
10:01
I will let you know when it, when it's time to start us
10:03

10:06

10:12
to season four,
10:14
episode 17
10:17
of of south park on HBO Max.
10:19
Now you might be able to find this
10:22
episode on YouTube and I'll look and see if it's out there. If it is,
10:25
I might post it in the thing below. Um
10:27
um, and, and
10:30
again I'm not trying to skirt. We're not playing
10:33
games with, with oh you know, all
10:36
Hoover. Um, he showed it on there. This is
10:38
purely going to be a watch long so if you would like to join
10:41
me to watch this
10:44
video together
10:47
and we might put some screens and some stills up
10:50
later, uh, we don't know. But if you want to join me
10:53
in watching a very crappy
10:55
Christmas together, pause this
10:58
episode or don't and you just hear me watch the episode or
11:01
you can skip ahead like I don't
11:04
know, like 20ish minutes. If you skip ahead
11:07
20 minutes you'll get to the synopsis and where we we really
11:09
unpack the world of Mr. Hanky after we
11:12
watch it together. But, but if you want to watch it together with us,
11:15
pause the episode. Now
11:18
go get your episode
11:21
ready, ready to fire up. Um um.
11:24
And then I'm go going toa give us a countdown on when to start
11:27
it. So pause the episode.
11:30
And now if you, if you have
11:33
your episode ready, u uh, pull it
11:36
up and you can hit play. And
11:38
three, two,
11:41
one.
11:48
All right. Characters and events. All celebrity voices
11:51
are impersonated. I feel like the
11:54
south park intro has gotten different. They're in
11:56
fourth grade. That's baffling for their language.
12:00
Um, um, oh yeah,
12:07
they feature Mr. Hanky in the intro. I have to go back
12:10
and no, I don't want to do that because that kind of ruins the whole thing.
12:12
But like I, I haven't. Do they
12:15
put Mr. Hanky in the intro regularly also? They've
12:18
just got like live action stuff and this he's on, he's
12:21
Jewish.
12:24
Okay. He put milk and
12:27
cookies on the toilet.
12:35
This little brother'name's Ike and he just ate a cookie right off the
12:38
toilet seat. What an animal. What? What a
12:41
raging animal. Yeah.
12:45
Aw. Uh. They're just waiting in eager
12:48
expectation for Mr. Hanky.
12:53
Mr. M. Hanky always shows up. He always
12:56
does. It's the most
12:58
stereotypical Jewish parents that you've ever seen
13:01
in your entire life. Just unbelievably
13:04
stereotypical.
13:08
Man, they're really letting the awkward set in for Mr.
13:10
Hanky. He's taking a while to get there.
13:21
Wonder why his little brother's drawn that way. He's got like a
13:24
weird eggh head that like separates in
13:26
half.
13:35
What the heck?
13:37
M. There's cockroach in the toilet.
13:40
Gross. Yuck. I hate roaches.
13:44
Flippin roached, dude. I roaches are awful.
13:47
My family in Florida, they have roaches. They freak me out.
13:49
They'll scurry away. No way.
13:54
All his parents carried him to bed. He missed it.
13:57
The cookies are gone.
14:01
It's a roach. The roach ate the cookies.
14:04
So d
14:14
All right. They snuck out in the middle of the night. Classic fourth
14:17
grade move. Kids. Don't. Don't do that. He's in
14:20
his underwear. The.
14:23
The one in the orange suits in his underwear. It's too good.
14:26
He's just in the snow in his underwear.
14:43
You might get some germs if you're walking in pieces.
14:50
There he is. Mr. Hankies arrived.
15:00
They're just standing in turds
15:03
and talking to a turd.
15:06
It's kind of confusing.
15:11
Oh, Mr. M. Hanky's married. That's fun. Oh,
15:14
she's drunamk.
15:31
He can't get it right.
15:34
He o.
15:37
He's a little bit, uh, different.
15:53
Oh, the nuggets are going up to spread Christmas
15:56
cheer.
16:05
Mr. Hanky's wife's
16:08
kind of awful.
16:17
It's a beautiful home.
16:21
Those walls are not soundproof.
16:27
She's pretty drunk. Like
16:32
for a turd. She does not hold her uphone.
16:35
Uh,
16:43
nobody. Everybody's got ear muffs on
16:48
these days. It would just be like people walking around
16:51
AirPods.
17:04
Nobody's buying stuff for Christmas. Joe Biden's
17:06
present. Everything's too expensive.
17:18
Everybody'sick at Christmas.
17:20
No,
17:23
you're not sick of Christmas and drinking winter spiced
17:26
Cranberry Sprite?
17:44
Mhm. He kick him in the netuts.
17:57
They did Charlie Brown.
18:19
Oh, here we go.
18:33
Cool. They're gonna make their own like cartoon. That's
18:36
awesome.
18:41
The spirit of Christmas. Oh my gosh. What was Snoopy
18:44
doing? That was just for a brief second, but
18:47
Snoopy looked like he was murdering Charlie Brown.
18:50
It's a terrifying sight.
18:53
We got a boost the Christmas spirit so people buy
18:55
presents. That seems to be the goal here. So
19:08
that's cheap. 300 bucks for an
19:11
animated short. These boys are. These boys
19:14
are go getters. I'd say sign them
19:16
up.
19:21
Nowadays 4th graders would take 300 bucks and go blow it
19:24
on V bucks and prime sports energy
19:27
drinks. O Mr. Hanking. His wife
19:30
are fighting again. This
19:35
mhm.
19:59
Mr. Hanke's wife just absolutely just raised
20:02
earth. Him so funny.
20:05
Absolutely roached.
20:12
Who the flip is Butters?
20:15
This keyid looks like a dweeb.
20:32
Okay, not bad.
20:38
M.
20:41
It looks exactly like him. He's like. Oh, it kind of looks like
20:43
a
20:48
nobody wants you in the film, Butters. Y Yep, there it is. They told him
20:51
no good. What the heck
20:54
is cow day? There is south park like big on
20:56
cows? Oh,
20:59
Butters is getting perverted. Oh,
21:02
dear lord. Nope. No sir.
21:06
Again. Yeah, Butters. See, this is why you Nobody's hanging out with
21:09
you, Butters. You're weird,
21:19
Cornwallis. Hanky needs to get in the Christmas
21:22
spirit.
21:29
You'dang right you do. Like,
21:39
Mr. Hanky's wife's kind of awful.
21:43
She makes fun of his digit a lot too. Like
21:46
Mr. Hany have a wiener.
21:49
It would seem that Mr. Hanky has a wiener. This might
21:51
be. This might be big Mr.
21:53
Hanky information that we're
21:56
getting here.
22:06
It's facts. He is crap by
22:08
definition.
22:12
Oh, they're gonna start singing. Here we go.
22:15
Hey, there's the cows.
22:30
The, uh, song is reaching in many ways.
22:49
Oh, the bear got him a snack.
22:53
Oh yeah, there's a big bear pile right there. He
22:56
just freshly skied it. Remember,
22:59
bears digestive trackact is is
23:02
unique. We talked about that. This last groundhogs o
23:05
giraffe poop. Wonder if giraffees got anything cool going on.
23:09
Why are we in the Serengeti?
23:13
It's so random.
23:16
Oh, yep, just a. Just a very,
23:19
very straightforward frontal view of a woman taking it down. Thank
23:22
you for that, Mr. Hanky.
23:46
Cornwallis really hit puberty right there.
23:49
Like he locked it down. That. That
23:52
musical number took a huge turn.
23:56
My dudes really like bringing
23:58
out the pipes there. Oh, look. Oh,
24:01
it's. It's like Lion King.
24:03
Oddly. O the bird just took a dump in the middle of the Lion
24:06
King number.
24:11
All right.
24:17
Don't eat any hard peas.
24:26
Oh, gosh'so. Uh,
24:46
supposed to sing Hanukkah songs.
24:49
Dradle, dreidele drele.
24:57
Ooh, they're going for it.
25:04
It's just them fighting and the guy thinks
25:06
that'that's the story.
25:17
Um.
25:26
Oh, do you think this, like so he's like
25:28
describing this process of animation. Do
25:31
you think that this is how the people that make south park
25:34
actually do this every time they make an episode? Because that
25:37
has. That is an endeavor. Like they're really going
25:40
for it.
26:02
They sent the turd to do a clean up crew.
26:06
Oh yes.
26:15
Is she ever not just totally
26:18
scotched?
26:43
South park just goes for it. Oh, no.
26:46
Just. Oh gosh.
26:49
Just draws a smile on the homeless
26:52
guy with pooh. That's disgusting.
27:17
Screw you guys. I think the fat one might be my
27:20
fav Fav itite.
27:34
Ooh, another musical number. Here we go. Here we go. Big
27:37
fan.
27:40
Huh? Huh?
27:58
Why did they animate his face to look like the old, like
28:01
Frosty cartoon guy? That was
28:03
weird.
28:08
He's pretending to do the voice of the fat kid.
28:29
Oh no. They just ran over the one
28:31
kid. Does he
28:34
die every episode of South Park? I feel like that. I feel
28:37
like he died last year.
28:40
Or I've seen that kid die in south park before. That
28:43
is, that is not great. Why would they
28:46
keep doing that? Oh, here we go. Okay, they're gonna show the movie. Here
28:49
we go. This is what, this is what they've been working so
28:52
hard for. The fat ones Back
28:55
partman.
29:09
The spirit of Christmas.
29:18
It'not bad for fourth graders.
29:34
It's not going well. Oh, Mr. Hanky.
29:37
Oh gosh, Mr. Hanky. Quit
29:40
touching the. The projector.
29:44
You're pissing everybody off. Mr. Hanky, come on.
29:46
Everybody's leaving. You're, you're losing them.
29:48
Um,
29:51
there's like crap on the wall.
29:57
Why is this lady s hair green?
30:00
You'born with that hair color.
30:08
Mhm.
30:27
There'a cigarette box in Mr. Hingys room.
30:40
Why does Mr. Hanky have a sailor's hat
30:42
on? He usually has a Christmas hat. I wonder why does he have
30:45
a sailor's hat?
30:58
The hex, Albert Poo Dinger.
31:16
Oh, the music's coming back. Here we go. We're gonna save
31:19
Christmas. Maybe. Oh, they're shorts playing.
31:21
It's working out, huh?
31:48
Mr. Hany's wife. Just a piece of work.
32:12
Christmas is about presents. M u.
32:15
Uh, okay, here we go.
32:25
Okay.
32:29
That dude's a pervert. Guaranteed.
32:33
This lady with the green hair is making me angry.
32:51
Oh, everybody's going to buy crap for each other for
32:54
Christmas. Okay, they
32:57
saved it.
33:12
It's probably how the creators of south park
33:15
felt after they had some success. They're like, oh, we got to make
33:18
this again. They're like oh, dear lord. Oh,
33:21
and the dead kid. Oh well. And the
33:24
credits are rolling. All right, let's end
33:26
it.
33:34
Well, that was
33:37
something else. Thank you for joining us. If you're, if
33:40
you're jumping back in, if you, if you didn't watch through the episode with
33:43
us. Welcome back. I want to give my final thoughts.
33:46
So pretty much
33:51
the premise here, Mr. Hanky doesn't show up for Christmas
33:53
mostly because the spirit of Christmas has faded.
33:56
Uh, and he also seems to not
33:59
show up due to some family trouble. Um,
34:02
his wife has a very clear drinking problem. I
34:05
don't think she's happy in their marriage.
34:08
They're also pieces of crap as Mr. Hanky
34:12
Duallyie notes throughout the episode. And
34:15
so he's going to try to teach his kids some
34:18
lessons about Christmas.
34:21
They uh, go to boost the Christmas spirit.
34:23
U and their, their humor gets very meta.
34:26
They try to make a holiday,
34:29
uh, ah, animated holiday episode featuring
34:32
themselves, which is ironic because they're
34:35
starring in a holiday
34:38
animated episode featuring themselves. Uh uh,
34:42
and remember there, there is this very blatant
34:45
message of consumerism. Um, and, and I
34:48
think that's on purpose. And we're gonna get to that in just a second.
34:51
And
34:54
I've only seen four or five episodes of South
34:56
Park'm I'm still worried for
34:59
the boy that dies every episode. I don't even know it'the name, but
35:02
I'm pretty sure I've seen this kid die at least two or three times now.
35:05
Uh, ah, it's very funny. Uh, uh, Cartman I think
35:08
is becoming my favorite. The fat one. I don't know if his name's
35:11
Cartman. Um, um, all I know is Cartman's fat and
35:14
Kyle's a Jew. That's what I have learned and
35:17
gathered from my and Mr. Hanky's A Christmas
35:20
loving turd. And I think
35:23
in a very Crappy Christmas
35:25
featuring Mr. Hany. Uh, uh, I think the
35:28
creators of south park are doing some of the truest
35:31
form of satire where they are
35:34
saying the quiet part about Christmas out
35:36
loud. Like every, every year,
35:39
like every Hallmark special and every Christmas movie
35:42
and every. They're all trying to make it like, oh, the true
35:45
meaning of Christmas. And, and while
35:48
I do not believe that Christmas is about presents, it is
35:51
not. Um, um, I and I don't think that the, the
35:54
creators of south park truly believe that either.
35:58
I think they are making just the most purest
36:01
satirical, uh,
36:04
commentary on American
36:06
consumerism culture by like,
36:09
no, nobody's buying stuff. We have to
36:12
turn this ship around. We have to get people
36:15
to go buy crap because it's
36:17
Christmas.
36:21
Like, can it be Christmas without spending money? Is
36:24
kind of the implicationelf Park. It's very
36:27
funny. Um, um, very satirical. But
36:30
there, but there's some great things to take away and some little
36:32
nuggets of, of background that we're gonna
36:35
walk away with in this episode.
36:38
First is this, this is the first time that we have
36:41
seen Mr. Hanky's family, which is, which is kind of
36:44
fun. I'm um, big fan of Cornwallis. Big fan
36:47
of whatever the, the one that has the peanut stuck in
36:50
his head. Um, um, he's a little special.
36:52
Ah. Also, I loved the Charlie Brown,
36:55
like, nod to Charlie Brown Christmas and all of these
36:58
little like Christmas animated shorts that they, that
37:01
they brought into this episode about Christmas
37:04
animated shorts. It's very funny. Um, um, but
37:06
inside the episode of south park,
37:09
there's a couple pieces of South Park's history. And I, I'mnna
37:12
be honest, I had to kind of go look into
37:15
this a little bit before I watched the
37:18
episode. Uh, uh, because I
37:21
found it when I was looking up the timeline for it, Mr.
37:24
Hanky and I was like, oh, that's interesting. And I started to read about
37:26
this. So the first episode of South
37:29
park debuted in 1997.
37:32
Listener, if you're not born yet, welcome. Uh,
37:35
uh, leave us a comment in the thing
37:38
or shoot us an email or do whatever you need to do.
37:41
Let us know that you're a Gen Z baby. Uh,
37:43
uh, but, but before south park
37:46
was South Park, south
37:49
park was kind of
37:52
the spirit of Christmas.
37:55
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are
37:57
the satirical minds behind South Park. Trey
38:00
Parker was influenced by Monty Python. He began
38:03
writing plays and other things since grade school.
38:06
And he was always kind of one of those dream
38:09
big, see the big picture, make the big picture
38:12
happen type of kids. Uh,
38:15
Matt Stone grew up in Texas, where his dad
38:18
insisted that if he's going to study music or tv,
38:21
he also asked to study mathematics. And
38:23
so this pursuit for a
38:26
job and a career brought mat and
38:29
trade to the University of Colorado in Boulder,
38:32
Colorado. And, and while in school, they
38:35
along with another friend, Ian Harding, founded a
38:37
production company named the Avenging
38:40
Conscience. Now where's this going in the company?
38:43
They began using the cut out
38:46
paper animation style. We see
38:49
the boys of south park animating with
38:52
this style in the episode we just watched.
38:54
But it is also the animating style that, that
38:57
Matt and Trey use
39:00
in making south park. Fans of south
39:03
park, they're going to recognize this form of animation
39:07
Their first work of animation was two short
39:10
holiday specials called the Spirit of
39:13
Christmas. Now if you just watched a very crappy
39:16
Christmas with us, the title Spirit of
39:19
Christmas will stand out because in the episode,
39:22
the boys of south park make
39:24
a Christmas special to play for the town to get them to go
39:27
by crap called the Spirit of Christmas.
39:30
In the Spirit of Christmas. The first Spirit of
39:33
Christmas was subtitled Jesus Verseus Frosty
39:36
and it was released in 1992. Uh
39:39
uh, and this gained them attention by the
39:42
film department or school. Their short film, uh, uh, uh uh.
39:45
The character who would later be known as Eric
39:48
Cartman, um, um, from south park is named
39:51
Kenny, uh uh. And he dies. So like there's a
39:54
little swap on that. But after this they
39:56
went on to make a full length film. So they made the
39:59
Spirit of Christmas Part one. And then they went on to make
40:02
a full length indie film about a cannibal
40:05
prospector and a questionable adult film made
40:08
for Japan. I don't know. But after moving
40:11
to Hollywood, they gained attention from Fox executive
40:13
Brian Grayn, who gave Parker and
40:16
Stone a check to produce, ah, a video greeting they could
40:19
send to their friends. They took the
40:22
money, it was about a thousand bucks, not 300, I would
40:25
note, and they made the video greeting. And
40:28
this video greeting was the sequel to the Spirit of
40:31
Christmas. The Spirit of Christmas Part 2,
40:33
subtitled Jesus vs Santa.
40:37
This second short film released in
40:40
1995 and and it depicted
40:43
established depictions of
40:45
characters in the setting of South Park.
40:48
In this version. Again, this is two years before the
40:51
first episode of south park hits the air.
40:54
The characters are named as they are commonly known
40:57
from the TV show. The short films
41:00
become the Spirit of Christmas, then the characters in
41:03
it become the basis for the
41:05
animated series South Park. In
41:08
fact, after the Spirit of Christmas 2
41:11
went viral, even though going viral wasn't
41:14
even a thing that you really did back then, the
41:17
duo Trey and Matt decided to make
41:19
a TV show out of some of their characters. Now
41:23
we discussed this part on our Original look at Mr.
41:25
Hany, but the festive holiday turd is what kept
41:28
Fox from biting on south park,
41:31
where it was taken up by Comedy Central
41:34
instead. Many of the
41:37
scenes that the boys play
41:39
for the town to boost the spirit of
41:42
Christmas are taken from the
41:45
original spirit of Christmas to Jesus
41:47
versus Santa. And it is a bulk of what
41:50
the boys submit to boost the Christmas
41:53
spirit and help Mr. Hanky save
41:56
Christmas. It's an interesting look
41:59
at the history of south park that the
42:02
creators took and put into
42:04
this holiday special for Mr. Hanky
42:07
that not only gives us more information about Mr. Hanky and
42:10
his family. Um, um. But also gives
42:13
us some interesting looks at some of
42:16
the earliest parts of the south park
42:19
history. The more I learn about Mr.
42:22
Hanky, the more I feel like I come to
42:25
understand how much he is interconnected to the
42:28
identity of what south park really
42:30
is.
42:37
Thank you all for, for joining us for our, for our
