‘Frank and obscene’: South Park is back with its most gratuitous episode since Naked Trump | South Park

eEven outside of its notoriously tight weekly production schedule, South Park has always operated on an unpredictable calendar, sometimes going years between seasons. This time around, the series moves from one season to the next after just five episodes (which, of course, comes in bi-monthly installments, not counting the surprise season finale that was delayed by a week due to Deadline).

Tonight’s episode, titled Twisted Christian, kicks off Season 28. At South Park Elementary, Principal PC — the PC who has symbolized Power Christian since his politically motivated transformation at the beginning of last season — is trying to put an end to his students’ obsession with the “6-7” TikTok meme, not because it’s intolerable or annoying, but because he considers it “some satanic bullshit In numerology. Instead of seeking help from the school’s new guidance counselor, Jesus Christ, he turns to the world’s best anti-Christ expert: billionaire Peter Thiel. (The caricature of Thiele—a sunken, skeletal face with bulging insect eyes—is featured in Kristi Noem’s earlier this year for ferocity.)

Diving into the lore of the Antichrist, Thiel reveals that God’s punishment for Satan after the war in heaven was to shrink his butthole to the size of a hole, “so that [he] She could never have a baby…until along came Mr. Donald Trump, whose penis was so small it could fit in the devil’s asshole. Trump’s penis size? Somewhere between 6-7 cm. All of this is foretold in Revelation 6:7.

We are also shown the scheming J.D. Vance, who appears to be the one pulling the strings, not Satan or Trump. He’s doing everything he can to stop the birth of his unholy boss’s offspring, including giving his benefactor Thiel unlimited access to every government database while also convincing Trump to seek an abortion.

Donald Trump takes a backseat to other characters here, though, as several scenes are devoted to his nether regions (including two attempts at masturbation with the aid of a pair of tweezers), making this the most explicit and outrageous episode ever since last season’s premiere.

Meanwhile, back in South Park, Jesus is having a crisis of faith after spending time with PC Master and other MAGA Christians (“You need a way to bully people and you’re using the Bible to do it!”), while Eric Cartman’s unhealthy obsession with the “6-7” meme turns into a full-blown case of demonic possession, filled with violent projectile vomiting à la The Exorcist. It turns out he may hold the key to stopping the apocalypse. Jesus eventually succumbs to peer pressure and adopts a Christian lifestyle, while Cartman heads to D.C., where a face-to-face encounter with Trump becomes inevitable.

Although it picked up where the last episode left off, it felt like a season premiere, putting all the pieces in place for the remaining five episodes and what is sure to be a wild finale. As evidenced by the feature film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and Season 11 of the Imaginationland saga, South Park is capable of telling legitimately epic stories, and the one they’re currently in the middle of has all the makings of another classic.
