      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.

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

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

              It could technically be a round about way of calling him a heterosexual female fish.

                Why else would “fish dicks” be funny?

                  The recipents reaction is a jab at their lack of self awareness

        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.

          No. They’ve publicly said they came up with the stupid joke first, then applied it to Kanye later because he seemed like a guy that wouldn’t get the joke (and were later shown to be right).

      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.)
