Comedy is all timing...
Not that I'm a big fan of human excrement, Mr. Hanky actually sold me on South Park. After months of being urged to check out the oddly animated show, the comic genius of South Park finally struck me in Mr. Hanky's debut episode.
Kyle and his Christmas Poo are singing and dancing hand in hand when suddenly Kyle's dad bursts into the room. After a dramatic pause, Mr. Hanky suddenly falls limp in Kyle's hand. Then the camera pans to show the dad's eye view of smudges of crap all over the walls. The timing is absolutely brilliant.
"HideeeeHooooooo Boysch and Girlsh!"

I love the episodes with Mr. Hankey.
My favorite is the one with his family.
His alcoholic wife, his son Cornwallis, his daughter and his other son who is retarded because "he was born with a peanut in his head".
I laughed about that for a long time.

When Trey and Matt first met with Comedy Central, Mr. Hankey was to be the main character on the series. Fortunately, they went the more conservative (!?!) route and only use him as a supporting character.
I don't mind him too much, but I'm glad he wasn't in the movie at all.

The first was funny for shock value. The second was funny because it made fun of Sundance film festival. The third (has there been more?) was boring except for the Lion King parody song.

How could you not like Mr. Hankey? They show far worse things than that IMO. It's all in how you see it. Some people may think that Kenny dying in every episode is a bit much. Too each his own.

I don't really mind the Xmas poo, but sometimes the show just goes way too far. That scene where Kenny was in the porta-potty and it shows the guy sh*t on Kenny's face....AGH! Just plain nasty, and unnecessary I think.
