10 Celebrity Guests Who Should've Stayed In South Park

When a celebrity’s South Park interpretation is the most bizarre aspect of an episode also featuring an anthropomorphic stoner towel, it’s evident that Matt and Trey have took the parody to a unique place. In-world Oprah wrestled with some unique body issues.

Mingey, her vagina, and Gary, her anus, both gained sentience and British accents somewhere along the way. The duo bemoaned that Oprah, distracted by her career, paid them no attention. When their plot to derail Oprah’s success failed, Mingey pulled a gun on a crowd, shooting a police officer in the process. In the chaos, Gary was hit by a sniper, and Mingey took their own life in grief.

Oprah’s depiction was bizarre even by the show’s own standards. The addition of Mingey and Gary was a leftfield joke at the expense of Oprah’s busy schedule, the type only Trey and Matt could pull off, or would even dream up in the first place. Call me curious, but I want to know more about the origins of Mingey and Gary. Also how does a person cope in the wake of the suicide of their genitals in response to their anus’ death by police shooting?
