How does South Park get away with trashing identifiable people? Are they sued often?

what was the joke meaning, i don't watch south park

Say it out loud.

"Do you like fish sticks?"

'Yeah

"Then you're a gay fish."

Kanye in the show didn't get it and thought people were calling him a gay fish. So if real Kanye didn't get the joke, and got mad because he thought South Park was calling him a gay fish... that's just incredible.

I still don't get it

Are you by chance kanye west? In all seriousness it's because fish sticks sounds like fish dicks

Oooooooooooh... I might not be Kanye, but it seems I am of similar intelligence.

Nah I think it's overthinking the thing while it's a juvenile joke. I got it after I thought about it a lot

Sounds like someone likes putting fish sticks in their mouth...

I might not be Kanye, but it seems I am of similar intelligence.

so you believe you're the greatest and smartest creature of all time? whoaaaa duuuude

Isn't that still a roundabout way of calling him a gay fish?

Fish sticks... Fish's dicks...

You obviously didn't get the joke.

They were calling Kanye gay because he was the first rapper to wear a pink jumper and wear skinny jeans.

The kids came up with the joke:

“Do you like fish sticks?” (Pronounced like “fish dicks”)

Then, when the person said yes, they’d call them a gay fish.

The joke becomes a meme, but Kanye West doesn’t get it, despite having it explained to him. He thinks the joke is directed at him personally, and does actual scientific research to find out why people think he is a gay fish. At the end of the episode, he accepts his fate, and decides to live as a gay fish (complete with a catchy autotuned song.)
