South Park returned from an inter-season break with yet another round of gags surrounding President Donald Trump and his administration.
The longrunning animated comedy released the first episode of its 28th season on Wednesday titled “Twisted Christian,” which turns a derisive eye on Trump ally Peter Thiel after quietly ending its 27th season.
The episode saw Thiel’s character preach to the children of the namesake fictional Colorado town against what he calls “satanic numerology shit” after the kids start repeating the numbers six and seven, which has recently become an internet phenomenon.
In one scene Thiel, who has recently staked out on a lecture tour where he speaks about Armageddon and the antichrist, declares “I’m Peter Thiel and I know the anti-Christ” following an introductory theme song that states the same thing.
Thiel’s character goes on to say that the world will end in six or seven days, which he conjectures from Revelation 6:7. Later in the episode, Thiel turns South Park into a totalitarian surveillance state where he uses data to determine which members of the community are cultists.
Jesus, a character introduced in the season’s first episode “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” asks “Wait why is there a camera in the girls bathroom?” to which Thiel responds, “To stop the anti-Christ!”
In the meantime, Cartman’s reaction to “6 7” is the most visceral (complete with projectile vomitting), which eventually lands Thiel at his door to investigate the meaning of the numbers, resulting in his hypothesis that Cartman is supposed to stop the antichrist.
Over at the White House, JD Vance attempts to force Satan to get an abortion after the demon king becomes pregnant with Trump’s child, leading the President to visit a Planned Parenthood clinic.
However, the doctor cannot perform the abortion, which leads Trump to Thiel because of his antichrist expertise.
Thiel, a conservative-entrepreneur-turned-Trump-ally, has mused that the end of the world is impending due to the actions of international organizations and environmentalists, according to The Guardian. The billionaire has maintained a close relationship with Trump over the past decade and has funded the President’s run for office as well as other conservative political campaigns.
Since even before taking office for his first term in 2017, Trump has become a lightning rod for comedians due to his off-the-cuff speaking style and breaking of political norms.
The latest South Park season has often capitalized on Trump’s unconventional tactics as well as the actions of others in his administration.
Among the show’s targets are Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem, who writers have ridiculed for her admitted killing of a dog, as well as Vice President JD Vance, who has been portrayed as comically submissive to the President.
South Park will continue with four more episodes of its 28th season on Wednesdays on Comedy Central and releasing the next day on Paramount+. The show, which has often met delays due to the chaotic nature of current events, has tentative episodes scheduled for Oct. 29, Nov. 12, Nov. 26, and Dec. 10.
