Get ready for a wild ride, because South Park is back with an episode that’s equal parts hilarious, bizarre, and downright unsettling. Imagine a world where Eric Cartman—yes, that Cartman—is humanity’s last hope against the Antichrist. Sounds like a joke, right? But that’s exactly where the show takes us in its latest installment, which returned Wednesday after a three-week break. And trust me, it’s as chaotic as it sounds.
Here’s the twist: this episode is labeled as Season 28, Episode 1, despite being the sixth episode of Season 27. But here’s where it gets controversial—is this a clever contract maneuver between Paramount and South Park Studios, or just a bizarre labeling mistake? Either way, the plot picks up right where it left off, so don’t worry about missing a beat.
At South Park Elementary, the kids are obsessed with the “6-7” meme—a phrase that’s driving parents and teachers up the wall. For those out of the loop, this trend started with rapper Skrilla’s song “Doot Doot” in December 2024, and somehow, it’s become the go-to response for kids who don’t know the answer to anything. And this is the part most people miss—the meme’s absurdity eventually sends Cartman into a vomiting spiral. Is it just too much nonsense, or is something… sinister at play?
Meanwhile, tech mogul Peter Thiel steps into the spotlight, teaming up with J.D. Vance to stop the birth of the Antichrist—who, in classic South Park fashion, is revealed to be Donald Trump and Satan’s lovechild. Thiel’s plan? Convince Trump to visit Planned Parenthood for a covert abortion request. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t go well. The doctor shuts him down, insisting they need an Antichrist expert. Enter Thiel, who crashes South Park Elementary to warn the faculty about a potential cult driving the kids’ bizarre behavior.
But wait, there’s more. Cartman’s health crisis lands him at the doctor’s office for a full-body scan, while Thiel takes over the school’s security system, downloading student data and monitoring every move. Is this a heroic act or a privacy nightmare? The line between saving the world and crossing boundaries blurs fast.
Oh, and did we mention Jesus is having an identity crisis? He’s trying to reconcile his teachings with modern Christianity, which leads to a disastrous double date with PC Principal and a woman named Peggy Rockbottom. When Jesus calls out PC Principal for weaponizing the Bible to bully others, things get physical. Is this a commentary on religion, or just South Park being South Park? You decide.
The episode is packed with Trump gags (yes, including a chopsticks scene you’ll never unsee) and a shocking reveal: Thiel and Vance’s partnership is a front for their real goal—controlling the world’s data. But first, they need to deal with the Antichrist. Thiel’s solution? A The Exorcist-inspired visit to Cartman’s house, complete with an Uber ride. After spending time with Cartman, Thiel declares him the key to stopping the Antichrist. But at what cost?
As the episode wraps up, Jesus ditches the double date drama and heads into the suburbs, questioning his place in 2025 America. Meanwhile, the two-part story leaves us hanging until the next installment in two weeks.
This episode, the sixth of Season 27, continues South Park’s legacy of pushing boundaries since its 1997 debut. New episodes air October 29, November 12, November 26, and December 10 on Comedy Central. But here’s the real question: Is Cartman truly our savior, or is this just another layer of chaos? Let us know what you think in the comments—this one’s sure to spark debate!
