Mr. Hat

"You go to Hell, You go to Hell and you die!"

- Mr. Hat's famous quote. "Well Kyle, no! No, no, no! I'm Mr. Hat! You're on my turf! You hear m1?! You got to Hell, you go to Hell and you die!"

- Mr. Hat to Kyle in a lost scene of "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe" of South Park. &nbsp

Mr. Hat who is one of the well-known characters of South Park, is a puppet worn on Mr. Herbert Garrison's hand and Mr. Garrison appears to converse with it. Mr. Hat was used by Mr. Garrison from the episode "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" until "Summer Sucks", (Where he was replaced with Mr. Twig), and then from the end of "Chef Aid" to his last regular appearance in "A Ladder to Heaven". He was replaced by Mr. Slave in the episode "The Death Camp of Tolerance" and since he has only made one cameo appearance in the episode "Pre-School" in a flashback, He has returned to the show in the episode "200" because Cartman knows he could know the truth behind his father.

History
Mr. Garrison appears to have had Mr. Hat since he was a child as seen in the episode "Weight Gain 4000". Mr. Garrison uses Mr. Hat to channel his homosexual emotions and thoughts through even when he accepted he was gay. Mr. Garrison often blames Mr. Hat for something unethical such as being a racist and appearing with the KKK protesters in "Chef Goes Nanners" and chasing Principal Victoria's ass in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub". When Garrison came out as gay, he continued to use Mr. Hat as his teaching assistant while working as the kindergarden teacher. However, when he was promoted to the 4th grade teacher, he replaced Mr. Hat with Mr. Slave.

Recently in the episode "200", Mr. Garrison is forced by Eric Cartman and his hand-turned-con-artist-puppet Mitch Conner to pull Mr. Hat out of storage, so as to reveal the truth about his father who until recently was believed to be Cartman's mother, Liane Cartman. Garrison is initially dismissive of using the old puppet, saying he no longer needed it. However, as the conversation between Mr. Garrison, Cartman and Mitch progresses, Garrisons seems to regress back to talk with and to Mr. Hat as if the puppet is alive.

Following "201", Mr. Hat has not been seen again, implying that Garrison's regression was only a brief one-time event.
