‘South Park’
New Trailer Touches On Big Stories
… Plane Crashes, Diddy’s Incarceration
Published
The trailer for the newest season of “South Park” was just released … and, as usual, the creative team behind the show ain’t holding back — blending some of the biggest news stories in the world with the show’s trademark irreverent humor.
Watch the video … the trailer begins with a shot of a dark, live-action playground — and, a message on the screen notes the “acclaimed drama” is returning.
Fan-favorite character Randy Marsh then pops up onscreen and offers his daughter ketamine … explaining he feels she could really benefit from it.
Shots of South Park, Colorado — the fictional town where the show’s action takes place — on fire and a boat of French people toppling the Statue of Liberty crop up next … before the show takes a big swing, parodying the harrowing American Airlines crash from January.
Remember … a Black Hawk helicopter ran into the side of a passenger jet just a couple months ago — killing all 64 people onboard the plane and the three on the helicopter.
Multiple planes run into each other during the clip … while Butters, wearing a headset, tells the rest of the people in the airport control tower they’re all going to get fired.
At another point, a character who appears to be Diddy is seen flying a jetpack alongside the kids … wearing a bright orange jumpsuit with “MDC” written across the lapel. Diddy, of course, is currently locked up in the notorious jail, MDC Brooklyn.
There are a lot of other scenes shown in quick succession … and, while it’s not clear how they all factor into this season, it’s sure to be another wild and controversial one for the long-running adult animated show.
“South Park” has a history of using current news stories in its show … just last year, the show lambasted the Ozempic craze in its special “South Park: The End of Obesity” — during which, they also lobbed a pointed shot at singer and rapper Lizzo.
Anyhoo … “South Park” is back — cue the outrage!
