During "Basic Cable," the penultimate episode of season 23, a commercial appeared encouraging streaming services to contact co-creator Trey Parker to purchase the rights to "The Scott Malkinson Show" and other faux shows featured within this season of South Park.

An actual working Fairplay, Colorado, number flashed onscreen, and sure enough, when called, recording plays of Parker offering up the rights to multiple "shows."

In a Facebook post, the unidentified person said hundreds of misdials had flooded their work number.

"Over the past two days, I have gotten 200+ phone calls and people leaving me random messages," the FB post reads. "We just figured out the connection today when one of the guys that called actually engaged in conversation instead of giggling like a teenage girl and hanging up."
