Season 28 premiere follows shortened season 27

After a brief Season 27 that ended after five episodes instead of the originally planned ten, Comedy Central confirmed the return of South Park with its Season 28 premiere. No explanation was provided for the shortened previous season.

The new episode incorporates contemporary internet culture, including the viral TikTok trend “6-7,” while satirically portraying tech investor Peter Thiel investigating the birth of the Antichrist.

Episode plot highlights

The episode opens at South Park Elementary, where PC Principal attempts to address the “satanic numerology” he believes is spreading among students. He invites Peter Thiel to give a talk on the Antichrist. Thiel explains that the Antichrist could appear within “six to seven weeks,” prompting students to chant “6-7” in unison.

The storyline escalates with absurd satire, including Thiel using the school’s surveillance system to track students performing the “6-7” hand gesture. Thiel is revealed to be working with JD Vance, seeking to prevent the Antichrist’s birth and, in South Park fashion, exaggerates cultural and political references for comedic effect.

Eric Cartman becomes the focal point of Thiel’s investigation, parodying horror movie tropes. The episode includes classic South Park absurdity, such as Cartman projectile vomiting during a failed exorcism attempt.

Viral trend and cultural references

The “6-7” chant featured in the episode originates from the rap single Doot Doot (6 7) by American artist Skrilla. The trend gained popularity on TikTok, especially among younger users, often paired with a hand gesture popularized by user Maverick Trevillain, known as “The 67 Kid.” The phrase functions as an internet inside joke with no literal meaning.

The episode also references recent news surrounding Thiel, who made headlines for private lectures linking religion, technology, and social commentary.
