Kanye West and Kim Kardashian News Update: Couple Spoofed On South Park with Bound 2 Parody, Hobbit Episode [WATCH]
The final episode of the 17th season of Comedy Central's South Park features Kanye West. Entitled "The Hobbit," the episode gives a meaningful message regarding body image and superficiality.
Wendy, one of the characters, tries to convince another character, Butters, that his celebrity crush, Kim Kardashian, is nothing but a hobbit without the digital alteration, best known as Photoshop. This forces Kanye West to travel around the world on a mission to prove that his fiancée is not a hobbit.
The highlight of the episode features a parody version of the Yeezus rapper's ridiculous music video, "Bound 2." In the middle of his quest, West makes a visual for his song called "My Girl Ain't No Hobbit." He raps about him and Kardashian slaying dragons and drinking grog.
"My girl ain't no hobbit / she might be stumpy, that don't mean she a hobbit," Kanye West raps. "Yes on occasion she hangs out with her dwarf friends / But she never went on no quest with her dwarf friends."
The story also focuses on Wendy's issues with a fellow cheerleader named Lisa, who becomes so popular when the boys see a Photoshopped selfie, which leads the entire cheerleading team to digitally fix the photos of themselves. Wendy is threatened to transfer to "Jelly School" in Aurora for being a "hater" and "jelly."
The plot is evidently centered on the pressure for females to imitate the looks of celebrities, although society's ideal body image is only an unrealistic standards of beauty, which is based on Photoshopped photos.
The episode ends as Kanye West continues his mission to defend Kardashian by reading a fairy tale about a little hobbit who achieves her dreams of becoming a celebrity through Photoshop.
