The episode was conceived from a joke among Parker and fellow co-creator Matt Stone about a fish dressed as motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel, which eventually turned into a joke about Kanye West not understanding a joke about why liking fishsticks made him a gay fish. The episode was written and directed by series co-creator Trey Parker, and was rated TV-MA L in the United States. In the episode, Jimmy writes a joke that becomes a national sensation, and Cartman tries to steal the credit while rapper Kanye West is the only person in the country who fails to get the joke, but cannot admit that he does not get it because he believes himself to be a genius. The 186th overall episode of the series, it was originally broadcast on Comedy Central in the United States on April 8, 2009. ' Fishsticks' is the fifth episode of the thirteenth season of the American animated television series South Park. Jonathan Kimmel as Jimmy Kimmel (credited as 'Francis Los Feliz')
