The official Twitter account of Comedy Central’s South Park acknowledged that Twitter users were noticing in large numbers how much Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet sounds like one of its characters.
“RIP our mentions, mmmkay,” the show said, echoing the catchphrase of its famously clueless, large-headed guidance counselor character, Mr. Mackey.

Many took to Twitter to notice how uncanny the resemblance between Mackey’s signature drone was to Bennet’s throughout the debate.
