Mr. Hankey must defend his character or lose everything that is important to him in an all-new episode titled “The Problem with a Poo” on Wednesday, October 10 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.

Mr. Hankey’s offensive behavior puts him in jeopardy of being fired as the Director of the Annual Christmas Pageant. Meanwhile, at South Park Elementary, Strong Woman and PC Principal face a whole new set of challenges in their relationship.

Comments at the South Park Blog suggest this is about Brett Kavanaugh and lefty sites are going with this angle.

I don't see any connection. It's most similar to James Gunn's bad jokes about pedos. Mr Waithouse is not real.
I think the episode will be about social media witch hunts over past statements, without references to real events. Will know soon.

Oops, I'm not good with names. Sheldon Whitehouse is the lunatic who interrogated Kavanaugh! South Park will not be kind to Democrats!

Sheldon Whitehouse, the incumbent Rhode Island Democrat Senator, has been mocked nationally for his bizarre and intense interrogation of Brett Kavanaugh over high school yearbook entries Whitehouse suggested were sexual references.

Kavanaugh pushed back, explaining that the term “boofing” meant flatulence, “ralphing” was vomiting, and “Devil’s Triangle” was a drinking game. Whitehouse refused to accept Kavanaugh’s testimony, even though high school classmates backed up Kavanaugh.

I thought this was more on Roseanne Barr.

"The Problem with a Poo" continued South Park's distinct yet subtle subversion of expectations this season

https://mashable.com/article/south-park-season-22-problem-with-poo-explained/#CCGH84wtSaqu

This week's episode's "#CancelTheSimpsons" ending made it so that nobody could figure out which side South Park was advocating, and that's the point, says Jess Joho. "For the first time, South Park seems to be genuinely engaged with questioning its own place in the current cultural climate," she says. "The #CancelTheSimpsons was actually an extension of the season's #CancelSouthPark marketing campaign, a hashtag also playing into the show by appearing at the end credits of each episode so far. Many have been left wondering what this dare to 'cancel' South Park means. It could just be more typical fuck-you humor — or it could be indicative of a huge turning point for the animated TV legend. Arguably, both 'The Problem with a Poo' and #CancelSouthPark campaign is adding a meta layer of meaning to South Park's social commentary that's never been there before. And it's a gamble with a potential to pay off as much as its move to serialization did."
