00:00South Park just kicked off a brand new season and fans are spiraling.
00:04Between billionaire Peter Thiel hunting the Antichrist, kids possessed by a TikTok meme,
00:08and a surprise season renumbering, no one knows if Trey Parker and Matt Stone are trolling us
00:12or sending us a message. The episode titled Twisted Christian dropped Wednesday on Comedy Central
00:18and immediately set off one of the weirdest cultural debates of the year.
00:21Here's the setup. The kids at South Park Elementary are obsessed with a viral phrase,
00:25Six Seven is a real meme that started with Skrilla's 2024 track Doot Doot, Six Seven.
00:33The sound used in hype edits of NBA star Lomelo Ball is timed to his height and dunks,
00:38but is now mutated into a nonsense phrase kids chant just for fun.
00:45In the episode it becomes a kind of demonic chant. Every time someone says Six Seven,
00:49Cartman pukes uncontrollably and adults panic that it's some kind of possession.
00:53Enter tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who storms into school claiming the meme is a satanic code.
00:57He turns the place into a full-blown surveillance hub, all while Trump and Satan are expecting a
01:02baby that might literally be the Antichrist. But the weirdest part isn't even the plot. When the
01:06episode aired, it wasn't labeled Season 27, Episode 6 like fans expected. It was suddenly Season 28,
01:12Episode 1. No explanation. Some think it's a Paramount contract issue. Fans on Reddit immediately caught
01:17the meta-joke, pointing out that renaming the season might have been a deliberate move to skip
01:21episodes 6 and 7 altogether, a wink to the 6-7 meme itself. The episode also follows South Park's
01:26long-running Trump-Satan arc, and a season already mired in real-world controversy, including backlash
01:32after its parody of Charlie Kirk, whose real-life shooting weeks later fueled censorship rumors the
01:36creators denied. Whether intentional or not, Twisted Christian plays like meta-commentary on viral
01:42obsession, moral panic, and how quickly the internet can turn nonsense into religion. And in true South Park
01:47fashion, fans are split. Blanco 8X8 wrote,
01:49The episode about the 6-7 meme coincidentally avoids being numbered as Episode 6.
01:54South Park has done it again. Dazed in Del Rey said,
01:56I've been a loyal fan for decades, and it's falling off so badly this year, I can't believe it.
02:00Salty Zalty called it literally the best episode in quite some time, 10 out of 10.
02:05Online debates raged between fans who say South Park has lost its balance,
02:08and others who think it just dropped the smartest episode in years. Whether you think the 6-7 meme is
02:13demonic, dumb, or just classic South Park chaos, the show once again has everyone talking.
