Kanye West romps with a cartoon carp in the latest episode of South Park.

The hip-hop star - who recently hit back at gay jibes over his "creative" (his words) dress sense - had a cameo role in the show that aired in the US on Wednesday.

The episode - called Fish Sticks - resolves around a joke made up by Cartman and Jimmy about fish fingers.

The joke, which works on the basis that "sticks" sounds a bit like "dicks" - goes:

"Do you like fish sticks?"

When the answer comes back 'yes' everyone replies: "Then you're a gay fish!"

Everyone in the world finds this hilarious - apart from Kanye who just doesn't get it.

The gag sweeps South Park, prompting a frustrated Kanye to go on the rampage trying to find the boys who created the joke.

Still unable to get to grips with the punchline, the star gives into public opinion and dives into the sea where he finds a willing carp.
