South Park End of Obesity Special Mocks Hollywood Ozempic Craze and Hates on Lizzo's Music - Grade It!
South Park introduces Ozempic in quest to make Cartman thin, leading to a chaotic battle involving cereal mascots and ninjas.
South Park has never shied away from pushing boundaries and exploring controversial topics, and in their latest Paramount+ special, South Park: The End of Obesity, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone take on the issue of weight loss in a way only they can. The episode introduces Ozempic, a "miracle drug" that promises to help Cartman shed the pounds, but at a hefty price of $1,200 a month.
As Cartman's friends attempt to navigate the complicated American healthcare system to get him the drug, they find themselves entangled in a web of bureaucracy and red tape. Frustrated with the system, they take matters into their own hands, ordering semiglutides from India to create their own weight-loss shots. This leads them to clash with Big Sugar, a group of cereal mascots who are determined to shut down their operation.
Meanwhile, Randy gets caught up with a group of Ozempic-addicted soccer moms, leading to a wild adventure involving robberies and machine gun-wielding cereal mascots. In the end, Randy and Sharon decide to forgo Ozempic in favor of "good drugs" like molly, while Kyle learns a valuable lesson about not judging others based on their weight.
Through its trademark humor and satire, South Park tackles the complexities of weight loss, healthcare, and societal attitudes towards obesity. The episode serves as a commentary on the struggles individuals face in trying to lose weight, the flaws in the healthcare system, and the importance of acceptance and understanding. In true South Park fashion, the episode delivers its message with a mix of irreverence, wit, and absurdity that fans have come to love.
