Mr. Wong is an American adult animated web series which debuted in 2000[1] and lasted 14 episodes (an unaired 15th episode was made available for the DVD release[citation needed]). It centers around the misadventures of Wong, an elderly Chinese American butler, and the wealthy socialite WASP he works for (and endures racial abuse from), Miss Pam.[2] He previously worked as a butler for Bing Crosby and often mourns him. It developed a cult following whilst being hosted on the website Icebox.com. The cartoon also drew fierce criticism from the Asian American community, who viewed it as racist.[3][4]

Mr Wong's creators, Pam Brady and Kyle McCulloch, also write for the television series South Park.[5] The DVD was released under the "National Lampoon Presents" banner.[6]

The music for Mr. Wong was composed and performed by Fuzzbee Morse.

The theme song was sung by former Monkees lead singer Davy Jones.
