‘South Park’ to Finally Deliver the Antichrist in New Episode

by jummy84 December 10, 2025

written by jummy84

The Antichrist is coming — to South Park, that is — when the series returns for what may be its season 28 finale with a brand new episode Wednesday night.

The episode, titled “The Crap Out,” looks to blend the show’s signature irreverence with a dark holiday twist. If the latest season mirrors season 27, this will be the final episode of the five-episode 28th season.

This week’s visit to the Colorado mountain town may be brief, as the logline for the episode is very Stan-centric. Given that this is the season finale, the logic of everything we know about television suggests the episode will feature a birth. But what will happen as Trump has started a clandestine affair with his vice president, J.D. Vance, while Satan gets closer to the due date for their baby together — the Antichrist?

As of this update, President Trump has still not responded to his depiction on the show as a philandering, conniving, vice-president-bedding figure.

“Satan’s due, Stan’s praying, and only a Christmas miracle can deliver the Antichrist on time,” the episode logline provided by Comedy Central reads, signaling another boundary-pushing installment from creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

South Park’s Wednesday night episode continues the ratings-smashing 28th season. The show originally debuted on Comedy Central in 1997. Additional new episodes of the latest season aired on Oct. 29, Nov. 12, Nov. 26 and Dec. 10, according to Comedy Central.

Following its linear debut, the episode will be available to stream on Paramount+ and On Demand through participating TV providers.

‘South Park’ Thanksgiving Episode Sees Cartman Turn to ‘Race Science’

by jummy84 November 27, 2025

written by jummy84

South Park returned to Comedy Central on Wednesday for a Thanksgiving-themed episode filled with its trademark double entendre, rich dialogue and plot action far more focused on the happenings in the titular town than with Donald Trump and Satan’s expected baby.

As the episode opens, South Park’s mayor is having trouble finding a financier for the annual Turkey Trot and local businesses are at a loss, having fallen on hard economic times. A solution is floated to ask for money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which one resident notes is giving money to just about everyone lately — a reference to the dozens of comedians who recently traveled to the wealthy Middle East nation for a stand-up gig and big payday.

The boys of South Park Elementary are all-in on the race once it’s made clear that there is a $5,000 prize for the winning team. That is, if no disparaging remarks against KSA and its Royal Family are made by the winners, as is made clear in a non-animated advertisement (i.e. real people, etc) for the big Thanksgiving Day event.

Meanwhile, Department of War head and former Fox News guy Pete Hegseth shows up at the South Park Police Department, repelling down a rope, to release Trump administration asset, or its puppet master, Peter Thiel out of lock-up but is told to get his “little bitch ass” out of South Park by Sgt. Harrison Yates amid a dispute over the release of Thiel, who recently split town with a “6, 7” repeating Eric Cartman in an attempt to thwart the rise of the Antichrist. Naturally, this slight from the local police leads to Hegseth declaring war on South Park. That is, until President Trump calls to intervene and demand that he focus on getting Thiel back to the White House.

As the Turkey Trot approaches, more and more South Park residents are signing up and Cartman, attempting to ensure a win, turns to “race science” to determine who will finish first and win that Saudi loot (cue a gag that the Asian City Pop-Up team will race smart, but not necessarily fast). This makes Cartman dead on getting Tolkien Black, South Park Elementary’s male student of color, on his team, as he always wins the runs. But as Tolkien tells him, “Just because I’m Black, does not mean I run fast.”

Cartman finds his science-fueled race attempt to win $5,000 thwarted when Tolkien bows out over the sponsorship of the event. “It doesn’t feel right,” he tells Cartman, who accuses his fair-weather friend of encouraging KSA to continue its actions toward critics — doesn’t he want “them to pay America for sports rather than hacking up reporters and paying Pete Davidson to do comedy?” Here, Cartman, via a series of cutting lines, presents both sides of the argument that emerged as the Riyadh Comedy Festival divided the stand-up community last month.

Back at the race, the attendees are ready to dash for the case, but before the runners are off, Hegseth mistakes the runners gathering for the race for an Antifa uprising; he is egged on to attack by the gunshot that starts the former fun run, which has become a battle for Saudi money among the town’s struggling business owners. The Department of War’s top brass is perhaps a bit more concerned with content creation and YouTube subscribers than thwarting a left-wing uprising. And faster than he can say “like and subscribe, you guys,” Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem is on the scene to steal his thunder (ideally before her face melts off).

With the race started and the runners being gassed by the Department of War, Cartman is running along and has now convinced Tolkien to join in on the Trot. But he’s slipping behind and out of breath, because, as he’s been saying all along, he may be Black and athletic, but he’s not a runner. In the end, it doesn’t matter because Cartman manages to get Tolkien first across the finish line, all thanks to a little “race science.” This is all after Tolkien calls out Cartman’s racism.

As the episode concludes, Hegseth has been rounded up by an angry Sgt. Yates and is tossed in the local lock-up, where his cellmate is none other than Peter Thiel.

Season 28 of South Park is set to conclude in two weeks, on Dec. 10.

Kendrick Lamar and “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone aren’t ready to unveil their mysterious live-action comedy just yet. Paramount has removed the trio’s upcoming feature from its March 20 release date, delaying the theatrical release indefinitely as the project continues to be tinkered.

““It’s true – we’re moving (again). We’re working hard at finishing the movie,” reads a joint statement from Paramount, attributed to Stone and Parker’s production banner Park County and Lamar’s company PGLang.

South Park Tackles Deepfakes as Manipulated Videos Hit the Town

by jummy84 November 13, 2025

written by jummy84

South Park went deep on deepfakes this week, with dual plotlines in Colorado and Washington centered around the concerning use of false video and the implications of its widespread use — be it for revenge porn or to excuse real footage.

We start this week’s episode with our beloved Butters, feeling like he was used, hellbent on revenge against his ex-girlfriend, Red, over the whole Labubu Satanic ritual incident at her birthday party last season. So the sweet boy decides to create an A.I. deepfake video of her being urinated upon by Santa Claus. Which is bad, but not quite as bad as the video Red makes of Butters having sex with Totoro, the lovable creature from the 1988 Hayao Miyazaki animated fantasy film, My Neighbor Totoro. And, yes, Butters defiling Totoro is something we just can’t unsee.

The plotline thickens surrounding Eric Cartman and Peter Thiel’s trip to Washington to battle The Antichrist — a kidnapping that is being covered up with deep fake AI videos of the young resident obnoxious anti-hero — as the boys’ mother starts asking questions of the local police. But Detective Harris is more concerned with the apparent series of rapes at South Park Elementary, and are soon questioning Butters about his relationship with Totoro (referred to here as “hat forest dwelling piece of shit”). And that’s when goons from Studio Ghibli in Japan show up, calling B.S. on the hard-earned work of animators being easily copied by AI deep fakes. They are soon thrown into South Park’s jail.

In Washington, Vice President J.D. Vance is getting a tongue lashing from President Trump over his meddling in his personal life, namely the baby he is expecting with Satan, aka the Antichrist. Trump fesses up that he doesn’t want the baby, as the little bundle of hellfire will cramp his social life. So Vance suggests a gunman he knows in Colorado who can take care of things. Satan walks in on the Veep and Prez in the White House hot tub, hatching the plan, but yells at Trump and runs off. At that point, Trump and Vance seem to have a moment in the hot tub… and end up making love in the Lincoln Bedroom — in a scene that goes on and on and never gets comfortable to watch.

Talk about a speedy trial. After the act break, the A.I. The video revenge situation at South Park Elementary is soon on trial — with animated favorite Bluey on the stand to testify about the bad things Kyle, Stan and Kenny made her do in a deep fake that she wasn’t even paid for. By episode’s end, it;s discovered that the videos of Cartman were fake and he’s rescued and as always, ungrateful of his mother’s love (“When’s the last time you saw me eat a pot pie?” he asks his relieved mom.

All’s well that ends well for Detective Harris, who believes that he busted a huge community of online rapists named after a popular AI tool. However, Trump is in hot water when Lincoln Bedroom surveillance footage of him getting freaky with Vance leaks to Fox News; the network issues a despondent, defeated report on the tryst; it’s so sad you can almost feel bad for the network and its Trump-loving staff. That is, until Trump clears the air by telling Fox anchor that, duh, of course that lengthy — too lengthy — sex scene with his veep was fake as hell. Satan seems skeptical but remains in Trump’s bed as the arrival of The AntiChrist gets closer…

On South Park, Donald Trump and JD Vance Consummate Their Relationship

by jummy84 November 13, 2025

written by jummy84

OpenAI’s generative AI platform doesn’t have many fans in the creative community, and it seems you can count Trey Stone and Matt Parker among them. The South Park duo largely center this week’s episode, “Sora Not Sorry,” around the AI video platform, with a plot in which Butters ignites a school-wide scandal after seeking revenge on his ex-girlfriend, Red, by using Sora to generate a video of her farting and getting urinated on by Santa.

Red retaliates with a Sora video of her own: one in which Butters is molested by the Studio Ghibli character Totoro, shown during a school assembly. Detective Harrison Yates responds to South Park Elementary and, believing Butters was the victim of an actual assault, attempts to interview him, only to be interrupted by Studio Ghibli creators who threaten Butters with a cease and desist. “It takes hundreds of artists three years to make Totoro. And in two minutes you spit out your shit,” they exclaim. “You cannot just do whatever you want with someone’s IP!”

To Detective Yates’ horror, more Sora-generated videos featuring South Park students begin popping up, including one of Kenny being assaulted by Popeye and another of Droopy Dog pooping into Stan’s mouth. Unable to get any answers, Detectives Yates and his partner, Detective Murphy, decide to try to gain the students’ trust by going undercover dressed as Rocky and Bullwinkle: “We’re getting no cooperation… Kids won’t talk to a cop… We’ve got to go undercover as one of these predators,” they rational.

Paramount, David Ellison Haven’t Censored ‘South Park,’ Creator Says

by jummy84 November 11, 2025

written by jummy84

When South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone locked in a reported $1.5 billion five-year deal with Paramount at the eleventh hour before their Season 27 premiere, the comedy duo were looking to assert their agency in an environment that would soon be upended by new parent company Skydance and CEO David Ellison. The result? A scathing debut aimed at President Donald Trump — whose approval was, ahem, paramount to the completion of the merger. Since that inaugural episode in late July, a steady stream of blistering satirical installments has not let up on the POTUS and key White House officials, from VP JD Vance to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

In a new interview with the New York Times, Stone explained of the decision to mock the GOP leader: “We just had to show our independence somehow.”

The scribe added that although audiences may assume some level of censorship behind the scenes — especially in a hostile media environment where Paramount’s CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (defended by top brass as a purely financially motivated decision, the timing of which came after the host went after his home network) — that isn’t the case.

“I know with the Colbert thing and all the Trump stuff, people think certain things, but they’re letting us do whatever we want, to their credit,” Stone said of the lack of pushback. (In turn, Colbert has praised South Park for its censure of Trump, calling the show’s deepfaked PSA video of a naked Trump “an important message of hope for our times.”)

Naturally, the White House was seething over the matter, with Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers telling Deadline post-premiere: “This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”

Unfortunately for Trump and his administration, however, the relentless deluge of jokes has led to a ratings bump and renaissance of sorts for the long-running animated show.

It’s a winning formula that Parker and Stone will be sticking by for the time being.

“There’s no getting away from this,” Parker told the Times. “It’s like the government is just in your face everywhere you look. Whether it’s the actual government or whether it is all the podcasters and the TikToks and the YouTubes and all of that, and it’s just all political and political because it’s more than political. It’s pop culture.”

It Established South Korea’s Fashion Identity. Now, Wooyoungmi Is Ready for More

by jummy84 November 10, 2025

written by jummy84

It’s a fall evening in Seoul, and a small group of Korean dancers dressed in traditional black and white robes are clanging brass gongs and chanting at the entrance to Wooyoungmi’s sleek new flagship. The crowd follows the procession through the imposing front doors and upstairs to a large space, where, on a table surrounded by pyramids of glossy persimmons, sits an offering of a pig’s head.

As the music crescendos, a line of guests offer up envelopes of money, which they place into the swine’s open mouth before bowing. A common ritual in Korea known as gosa, it is held to cleanse bad vibes and bring good fortune to new ventures. The occasion is timely: this is Wooyoungmi’s first standalone store in Seoul, and the onset of a retail strategy the label is betting on.

South Korea’s first global menswear brand

Youngmi Woo, the brand’s owner and founder, knows that fortune doesn’t come easy. A cool and collected 66-year-old, known in the industry as “Madame Woo”, she glides through the crowd in a sharply tailored black suit and large sunglasses. As CEO of Solid Corporation, which owns Wooyoungmi and its more conservative brother, Solid Homme, she is in charge of one of South Korea’s most powerful fashion houses.

Founded in 1998 as Korea’s first designer menswear brand, Solid Homme paved the way for Wooyoungmi, which launched in 2002 and became the first Korean label to show at Paris Fashion Week. The brand operates two stores in Paris, is sold across 24 countries with 70 stockists, and employs 150 people globally. In 2024, Solid Corporation reported revenues of €72 million, and sales for Wooyoungmi have shown steady annual growth of approximately 10% to 20% over the past few years.

Located in Itaewon, formerly home to US army barracks and now a cosmopolitan enclave, the new store’s location is part of a wider retail strategy to assert influence at home. “During the pandemic, I realized the need to have a place where you can physically and directly engage with the customers,” Madame Woo says, speaking from her expansive office in Gangnam. While Wooyoungmi shares space with Solid Homme at the aforementioned Seoul store, this is the first time the label (which also sells womenswear) will be merchandised alone in Seoul. Madame Woo sees it as an opportunity for the brand to shore up its identity there.

South Park’s Trey Parker Says “Politics Became Pop Culture”

by jummy84 November 9, 2025

written by jummy84

This season, South Park has drawn attention for repeatedly targeting President Donald Trump and his administration. In an interview with The New York Times, however, co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker clarified that this wasn’t intentional, but rather a byproduct of the times.

“It’s not that we got all political,” Parker said. “It’s that politics became pop culture.” Stone added that they were also “attracted to” the idea that speaking out against the administration had become “taboo.”

According to the creative duo, they didn’t decide to take on the US president until after their deal with Paramount was delayed by a merger between Paramount and Skydance that required the Trump administration’s approval.

South Park Season 28 Halloween Episode: Trump Gets Haunted

by jummy84 November 1, 2025

written by jummy84

[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for South Park, Season 28 Episode 2, “The Woman In The Hat.”]

In a special Halloween episode of South Park, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone took a moment to acknowledge the haters, as the boys complain that South Park (the town, of course) sucks now, Stan going so far as to say it’s “because of all this political shit.” They even point out that Kenny’s been largely absent from the latest season: “I haven’t even heard you say anything in like four months,” one of them says, which Kenny acknowledges in his usual muffled way.

To reclaim their town, they launch a South Park Sucks Now campaign to create a community for those who want change. (Southparksucksnow.com, at time of writing, just redirects to the official South Park website. There is also now an unofficial /r/southparksucksnow on Reddit.) However, SPSN actually ends up being a meme coin scheme launched with the help of Kyle’s Cousin Kyle. Stan in particular is desperate to make some money, as his family’s now had to move into his grandfather’s nursing home following the loss of Tegrity Farms.

‘South Park’ Admits “South Park Sucks Now” In Halloween Episode

written by jummy84

Two episodes into its sudden Season 28, South Park is poking fun at itself following criticism of its very political 27th season.

In Friday’s special Halloween episode ‘The Woman in the Hat’, Stan admits that “South Park sucks now” after his dad loses his job at the USGS amid the government shutdown, forcing them to move into his grandfather’s retirement home.

“Everyone knows it. South Park sucks now, and it’s because of all this political shit,” he says in a tongue-in-cheek nod to the Comedy Central show’s controversial Season 27 return.

In attempt to make South Park better, the kids create a “South Park Sucks Now” crypto meme, which Stan hopes gets them out of the retirement home.

The episode culminates in a seance at the White House, overseen by Pam Bondi, who constantly has poop on her nose, and is attended by Brendan Carr and Kristi Noem. They assemble after Donald Trump is being haunted by Melania, who lurks in corners under her hat.

Donald Trump is haunted by Melania in ‘South Park’.

According to Stephen Miller, ghost Melania was unleashed with the “vengeful wrath” that came from tearing down the White House’s East Wing. Meanwhile, Ed and Lorraine Warren are summoned to investigate the phenomena.

The episode ends with Kyle’s cousin Kyle being arrested at the seance, where he tries to get Don Jr.’s approval to sell the crypto, admitting publicly that it’s all a scam.
