Predictive betting comes to South Park in episode five of the show’s sporadic yet highly-rated 27th season, when the odds on whether Kyle’s mom, who is a Jewish woman, will attack Gaza become a hot speculation at the elementary school.
It all starts with the kids of South Park Elementary placing bets on whether or not one of their own — a Boy Scout who insists on repeatedly informing the class that she is one of the group’s WeBlos — is a boy or a girl. Soon, Eric Cartman is going on about Kyle’s mom, one of his least favorite people in town but one he enjoys talking (and on the big screen, singing) about.
Back at the White House, Satan and President Trump are awaiting the birth of their child, who is likely to bring about the apocalypse, and are preparing for the little one’s arrival. A seemingly goober-like version of Vice President J.D. Vance is back, too, and informs Trump that his nights of partying at Mar-a-Lago will be over once the baby comes. Naturally, he starts his efforts to kill his and Satan’s unborn child. Hi-jinks ensue and one puts FCC chief Brendan Carr in the hospital with a parasite called toxoplasmosis. It can be transferred from cats to humans and bring about some complications — in particular, for Carr, the loss of his freedom of speech.
The episode arrived a week later than planned, after the show’s creators admitted that they failed to complete it in time; Trey Parker and Matt Stone blamed their own procrastination habits for the delay. But some speculated the killing of Charlie Kirk, who was spoofed in episode two of season 27, at a speaking event in Utah that week, led to the new episode being yanked or possibly tweaked. The South Park team did manage to touch on the other big scandal of the moment with the Carr subplot, as his comments are believed to have been the catalyst for Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show going dark last week.
More to come.
