‘South Park’ takes on Peter Thiel and the Antichrist in latest episode
South Park is back with another episode that takes shots at entrepreneur Peter Thiel and his alleged fascination with the Antichrist, as well as continuing to discuss Donald Trump’s genitals.
The new episode, titled ‘Twisted Christian’, aired on October 15th. The episode parodies the 6-7 meme, which originated from the song ‘Doot Doot (6 7)’ by Skrilla that was widely popularised by video edits featuring professional basketball players. The children at the elementary school are too distracted by the meme to work, and the teachers are concerned about the trend’s “Satanic numerology”.
The school’s anxiety increases to the point that they bring in an “expert on the end of days and the coming Antichrist”. Jesus is snubbed, and out walks Peter Thiel, the PayPal and Palantir co-founder, who was also one of the first to invest in Facebook. Allegedly, Thiel delivered a series of Silicon Valley lectures discussing his view on the Antichrist and the coming Armageddon.
Thiel’s explanation of the Antichrist in South Park includes a depiction of Satan’s butthole, which he believes has been shrunk by God to “the size of a tiny little pinhole so no one could ever penetrate and ejaculate inside of it. So Satan could never have a butt baby until along came Mr Donald Trump, whose penis is so teeny teeny tiny it could actually fit in Satan’s arsehole.”
Thiel’s character then singles out Cartman, who throws up whenever the meme is mentioned out of sheer amusement. In a spoof of the 1973 horror classic The Exorcist, Thiel grows frustrated as he pleads with Cartman, begging, “Tell me what it means… You will tell me the significance!”
The new episode has been listed as the first episode of season 28, prematurely ending the 27th season. Though it was slated to run for ten episodes, it only ran for five. However, South Park representatives have still reassured fans that new episodes will be airing on October 29th, November 12th, November 26th, and December 10th.
The last episode, titled ‘Conflict of Interest’, was intended for broadcast on September 17th, but the creators delayed the release hours before it was meant to go live. It was their first episode since the assassination of Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, whom they had parodied in an earlier episode.
