I was watching the Christmas special again. I fast forwarded through the commercials each other time I watched it but this time I was too lazy to do so. I saw the "commercial" for the Mr. Hankey kit.

     This reminded me of the post about South Park going commercialized and
already selling a Mr. Hankey kit.  I hope now that that poster was just
kidding.  That commercial for the Mr Hankey kit was a great spoof and I can't
believe I missed it until now.
     The fake commercial was grosser than the cartoon itself.  Making Mr Hankey
out of your own personal favorite "doo" and the net to pull it out of the
toilet.  It was great.  The best was when the baby ate "Mr Hankey" and had the
"doo" smeared all over its face while the mother and siblings all laughed
together.  It was classic.
     The making of Mr Hankey and the fun and then the little girl looking at
her mom and saying "I wish daddy was still alive."  Just like that out of
nowhere made me roll my eyes.  The commercial was a classic spoof and as a new
South Park fan who had honestly never heard of them until a few weeks ago am
now glad I have discovered the 'toon.

Finally, a show that is originally funny. I haven't laughed so hard in a long, long time.

The daughter mentioning Daddy being dead seemed like something typical and heart-tugging that advertisers would throw in to get sentiment for their product. It was VERY funny. It kind of reminded me of that awful "Dear Mr. Jesus" song that came out years ago and the radio station dragged out and played the other day.

Not to mention the fact that many commercials show a smiling (ALWAYS smiling) Mom spending quality time with her kids just like in this fake ad -- and Dad is nowhere to be seen. To me, this commercial is the first one to explain Dad's absence -- in this case, that Dad has gone to that big suburbia in the sky.

it might even give us insight as to cartmans real dad

in several episodes they use foreshadowing for future episodes

for instance in weight gain 4000 wendy says something like "hitler was famous to" and then in the halloween episode BOOM cartman is dressed like hitler

thats the only one i can think of off the top of my head but if you know what im talking about post something
