Mr. Garrison

South Park - Mr. Garrison and Mr. Slave

South Park - Mr. Garrison and Mr. Slave

Comedy Central
Mr. Garrison is the boys’ teacher. But that doesn' even come close to covering the many facets of his personality.

Mr. Garrison started his life on South Park being the possibly gay teacher who had a friend named Mr. Hat, a puppet that may or may not have been alive. Then Mr. Garrison become the openly gay teacher. And now, he's a she thanks to an operation he had recently.

Mr. Garrison also made friends with Mr. Slave, who left him after the operation. Mr. Slave is now living with Big Gay Al.

Some of my favorite episodes about Mr. Garrison are "Tom's Rhinoplasty," "Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods," "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics," "It Hits the Fan," "The Entity" and "The Death Camp of Tolerance."

Like Mr. Slave, I'm not as crazy about the new, female version of Mr. Garrison. The change just kinda took the edge off of him.
