Template:Infobox South Park episode "Ike's Wee Wee" is episode 204 of Comedy Central's animated series South Park. It originally aired on May 27, 1998.
Plot
Template:Spoiler Mr. Mackey gives a drug & alcohol prevention lecture titled "drugs are bad", emphasizing the negative effects of smoking, drinking, marijuana and LSD. He passes a sample of marijuana around the class. Kyle, meanwhile, invites Stan, Kenny, and Cartman to Ike's bris, although he isn't completely sure what a bris is. Mr. Mackey then asks for the marijuana to be passed back to the front, but, alarmingly, it has disappeared, and Mr. Mackey is immediately fired by Principal Victoria for letting someone take it (it is then shown that Mr. Garrison is watching the Teletubbies at home while stoned).
After talking to Chef and checking with five other people, Stan rushes up and tells Kyle what (he believes) a bris is - a party to give Ike a "circumstision" and "chop off his wee-wee!". The boys are shocked. Kyle asks his parents what a bris is; they explain that it is "to celebrate your little brother's passage into life", and they are going to circumcise him - still misunderstanding, Kyle becomes extremely upset and begins plotting how to hide his brother from his parents until they return to normal.
Meanwhile, Mr. Mackey is harassed by passing drivers, and called a hippie, so he runs into a nearby bar to escape and ends up getting drunk. Back at his house, he discovers that the landlord has changed the locks because he heard Mr. Mackey was selling drugs to children. Now homeless and sleeping in an alley, Mr. Mackey is given a spliff by a hobo, and sees the alley transform into a bright place with neon hues. The next day, Mr. Mackey meets two hippies in the woods and has some of their LSD, turning his head into a floating balloon - in this drug-addled state, he floats through the town.
To keep him away from his "wee-wee-chopping parents" prior to the bris, Kyle puts Ike on a train to Nebraska. Kyle makes an Ike-style doll, to try not to arouse his parents' suspicions, but this backfires when the doll is eaten by a dog, and both dog and doll are run over by a truck in front of the Broflovskis' house. It is at the funeral that Kyle finds out that Ike is not his real brother, but was adopted from Canada. Upon discovering this, Kyle no longer cares about Ike and tells his parents that Ike is not really dead, but in Nebraska.
Mr. Mackey, now a hippie, meets a hippie woman and goes to fingerpaint at her house - before long, they decide to get married and have a honeymoon in India. Meanwhile, Kyle's parents make him come with them to Nebraska to find Ike - they discover him being used as a table-leg in a bar.
While on honeymoon, Mr Mackey is captured by The A-Team, and his former employers say that they should have helped him with his drug problem rather than firing him. In rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic, he is "cured" of his addiction to drugs.
The day of the bris arrives, and Kyle is still grounded in his room. The doctor arrives to perform the bris, and Kyle defends his brother fiercely before it is explained to him what a circumcision actually is, at which point Stan and Cartman decide they want to be circumcised too.
The episode ends with Mr. Mackey telling the class again about the evils of drugs.
Kenny's Death
Trivia
- When Mr. Mackey is talking about "sensitive, authoritative bullshit," this marks the first time the word "shit" was broadcast uncensored in an episode. It was only uncensored for the original 10 PM airing. The 1 AM rerun and all other showings censored the word.
- After being killed, Kenny appears briefly again in the classroom after the bris.
- This episode suggests that Mr. Mackey's head is so large because he wears his tie way too tight. In "Child Abduction Is Not Funny", it is shown that his parents have large heads as well.
- Despite Kyle generally seeming to hate Ike for the better part of the series, he seemed to genuinely care for him in this episode to the point that he throws himself in front of his brother before the bris is explained to them. Future episodes would further emphasize the bond between them.
- Syndicated versions cut out Cartman's line about "the fireman" (a penis) "spitting" when you rub it's helmet.
