South Park Makes a Hilarious Comeback Roasting Peter Thiel with Cartman as the Unexpected Hero Against the Antichrist

After a brief three-week hiatus, South Park made a triumphant return on Wednesday night, presenting a unique narrative that positioned Eric Cartman as a potential savior against the Antichrist. In a puzzling twist, the episode aired as “season 28, episode one” when it should have been tagged as the sixth episode of season 27, possibly due to contractual issues involving Paramount and South Park Studios. This discrepancy did not impact the story’s continuation from the previous episode.
New Episode Dynamics: Cartman and the “6-7” Meme
Set in South Park Elementary, the episode revolved around the mischievous “6-7” meme that has captivated local children. This peculiar phrase, a constant refrain among under-14s who lack answers, gained popularity from the song “Doot Doot” by rapper Skrilla in December 2024. Cartman’s obsession with the meme leads to a bizarre health crisis, marked by persistent vomiting.
Peter Thiel’s Plan and Antichrist Plot
Integral to the storyline is tech mogul Peter Thiel, who teams up with Vice President J.D. Vance in a mission to prevent the birth of the Antichrist, an entity that they humorously identify as a child of Donald Trump and Satan. Thiel’s plan includes a covert visit to a Planned Parenthood clinic, where he requests an abortion for Satan—a request that falls flat.
Surveillance and Student Data
- Thiel takes control of the school’s security system.
- He begins monitoring students to analyze the “6-7” phenomenon.
Meanwhile, Cartman undergoes a full-body scan at the doctor’s office to identify the source of his symptoms. As his situation worsens, the need for additional assistance grows.
Jesus and Modern Christianity
The episode also features a subplot involving Jesus, who is attempting to navigate contemporary Christianity and finds himself on a disastrous double date with PC Principal and an intriguing character named Peggy Rockbottom.
Comedy and Commentary
Throughout the episode, humor abounds, encompassing various caricatures of public figures, including a recurring joke featuring Trump in absurd situations, such as engaging with Satan. Thiel, meanwhile, labels Jesus a “Nosey Nancy” for protesting against the invasive surveillance, leading to a confrontation with PC Principal.
Conclusion and Upcoming Episodes
The narrative promises to expand further, as Thiel identifies Cartman as crucial to stopping the Antichrist. “We have to unlock the secrets he holds, no matter what it takes,” he declares ominously, suggesting further adventures ahead. The storyline is set to conclude in two weeks, adding to the intrigue surrounding the ongoing season, which will feature more episodes airing on October 29, November 12, November 26, and December 10.
Since its debut on Comedy Central in 1997, South Park has continuously pushed the boundaries of humor and social commentary, and this latest episode exemplifies its enduring appeal.
