Appearances
First Damien

Mr. Mackey is the elementary school counselor in South Park. His first name is never revealed but according to Child Abduction is Not Funny, his first name is the same as his father's, when he is referred to as "Junior", by his father. He serves also the City Council as head of Public Health.

He has occasionally taught classes at the school, and taught sex education with Ms. Choksondik. After her death, he took over the fourth grade class until Mr. Garrison returned. During a drug-education class, he passes some marijuana around the classroom, and it is stolen (apparently by one of the children, though it is later revealed that the actual thief was Mr. Garrison). For this, Mr. Mackey is fired by the school, and evicted by his landlord, and, feeling depressed, he ends up taking drugs himself. He hates it when the children at the school defecate in the urinals, and has used at least seven different terms for the word "crap", including "mud monkey" and "chocolate corn/hot dog". He also enjoys messing with pranksters. It is revealed that he isn't amused by the TV show Friends, when he jokingly suggests that Cartman should pursue a career writing for it after he claims to have lost his sense of humor in How to Eat with Your Butt. When the town sided rock'n'roll / stop war against country music / continue war in I'm a Little Bit Country, Mackey sided with rock'n'roll. He isn't very proficient with computers as seen in The Ungroundable.

[edit] Appearance

He is well known for his exaggeratedly large head. It has been implied in Ike's Wee-Wee that his head's size is caused by the tightness of his tie. Yet, in Child Abduction is Not Funny, his parents are shown to have the same condition (though this might simply be because they all tie their ties too tightly.) However, in Proper Condom Use, his tie is removed before he and Ms. Choksondik have intercourse, and his head remains the same size. This may simply be a continuity error or a goof.

He wears a green shirt, blue tie, blue jeans, and blue shoes. His hair is black, and thinning. He wears large, black-rimmed glasses.

Starting with Major Boobage, Mr. Mackey's look changed a lot, mostly evening a lot of things out, much like Mr. Garrison at the end of Eek, a Penis!, and Jimbo Kern in Night of the Living Homeless.


The original Mr. Mackey

He is also well known for almost always inserting "M'kay" into his sentences, it being his most popular character trait. He speaks pretty much fluent in Spanish and puts "M'bien" into his sentences instead.

Trey Parker stated on the commentary on the season 1 DVD that this character was based on his school counselor, Mr. Lackey, who used to say. "Trey quit fooling around and get back to your school work mmkay." He stated after that, "But now I'm making millions out of him."

[edit] Relationships

[edit] Mrs Mackey

In Ike's Wee-Wee, after he became and outcast for supposedly giving drugs to the children, Mr. Mackey met up with a young female drug addict, who invited him to her house to fingerpaint. HE accepted, and a short while later, at her place, she said they should get married and have their honeymoon in India. He agreed, but then he was rescued by some local townsfolk who put him into rehab. His wife has never been seen since. A goof is that in Proper Condom Use, he states that the last time he had sex was 21 years ago (which accounts for his age as he also mentions he was 19 at the time). However, he clearly had sex with Mrs Mackey. However, this is clearly backed up by the fact that he was high, so he couldn't remember it, like in Proper Condom Use.

[edit] Liane Cartman

Referencing the factor of Ms Cartman being with many men, in Cat Orgy, at his meteor shower party, Liane is invited. When Cartman calls his mother, the screen switches to the party with Liane on the phone and Mackey walking over to her. The screen switches back to Cartman and we hear through the phone Liane and Mackey flirting together. Also, in Something You Can Do with Your Finger, Cartman finds a tape that was recorded between his mother and Mackey where he was her sex slave and had to drink out of a cup that Liane urinated in.

[edit] "A lot of action"

In Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub, at his party, Mr Mackey shows his guests his backyard hot tub and says he gets a lot of action because of it, jokingly. It's revealed that he was actually joking in Proper Condom Use, where he says he hasn't had sex in 21 years (besides with his "wife", when he was drugged)

[edit] Ms. Diane Choksondik

In Proper Condom Use, while Ms. Choksondik was teaching the girls about sex, Mr. Mackey taught the boys. Later, Diane and Mr. Mackey started talking personally with each other, and this ultimately led to the two of them having intercourse. Indeed, after Ms. Choksondik's corpse was studied in Simpson's Already Did It, (in which he took the form of Simpsons character, Mr Burns) Mr. Mackey's semen was found in her stomach. The news reporter explains that the semen was not what killed her, leaving the audience to presume that Ms Choksondik took some irony to her name and died choking on Mr Mackey's penis.

[edit] Principal Victoria

He is very often seen with Principal Victoria, but there has never been any concrete evidence that they are in any sort of relationship, other than business.

[edit] Singing

In Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics, Mr Mackey sings Carol of the Bells

In South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, Mr Mackey sings his own song It's Easy, Mmm'kay to his students to stop them from swearing.

In I'm a Little Bit Country, he sings the episodes final song with other South Park townspeople.

[edit] Trivia

  • It could be possible if Mr. Mackey has tourettes syndrome, because he does't seem to be able to not say m'kay. This is not a fact just a suggestion.
