In this episode of South Park called Fight The Cancer, the clip starts off in Principal Victoria's room where her and Wendy have a conversation about a supposed fight between Wendy and Eric Cartman. Eric Cartman is a one of the main characters in this show, and is known for making fun of his friends, his sarcasm, his loving hate for Kyle because he is Jewish, and also his weight. The principal asks Wendy if she actually is going to be in a brawl with Cartman, and Wendy tells her that she is not. Principal Victoria goes out to the window and mentions the amount of work Wendy has put in for breast cancer, and tells Wendy that she was in fact a breast cancer survivor. She then makes a correlation between the cancer, calling it, "Evil. A fat little lump that needs to be destroyed" (Fight The Cancer), to Eric Cartman. Principal Victoria goes on making a motivational speech and rattles up Wendy to go and destroy the cancer which is Eric Cartman. The creators of South Park use incongruity by creating a metaphor between the fat evil little lump and Eric Cartman. If the person who watches South Park has seen Eric Cartman at a constant show-to-show basis, the viewer and understand that he is in fact an evil little lump, so by using satirical methods or in a jokingly fashion, the relation makes sense and is actually humorous if understood. Satire brings a whole different aspect of hilarious to the table. If enough background information is known, the viewer might get a significant laugh out of it.
