After a three-week wait, \u201cSouth Park<\/a>\u201d is back with a new episode and a new season.<\/p>\n

In an abrupt turn of events, the short-lived Season 27 has ended after just five episodes, instead of the previously determined 10, a spokesperson for Comedy Central confirmed. No details were provided as to why. Wednesday\u2019s Season 28 premiere saw South Park Elementary enveloped in the \u201c6-7\u201d TikTok trend, and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel thinks the Antichrist is to blame.<\/p>\n

The episode opens on a rally led by PC Principal, who is determined to get South Park Elementary back on track after catching wind of some \u201csantaic numerology shit\u201d going on.\u201d To set things straight, he brings in a guest speaker to talk some sense into the student body: The \u201cabsolute expert on the end of days and the coming of the Antichrist,\u201d Peter Thiel.<\/p>\n

\u201cHello, kids, I\u2019m Peter Thiel, and I\u2019m here to talk to you about the Antichrist,\u201d he says. \u201cOk, so first, what is the Antichrist? The Antichrist is a newer, more human form of Satan that will soon walk the Earth. We don\u2019t know how soon it will walk the Earth, but it could be within the next six to seven weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The South Park Elementary student body then explodes in unison, \u201c6-7!\u201d<\/p>\n

Confused, Thiel continues his impromptu TED Talk. He explains that Satan wasn\u2019t able to have a child until Donald Trump<\/a> came along, who has the perfect-sized manhood to fit inside Satan\u2019s \u201cpinhole\u201d sized rectum. How big is Trump\u2019s manhood? Thiel estimates it\u2019s between \u201csix and seven centimeters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once again, his Gen Alpha audience shouts, \u201c6-7!\u201d<\/p>\n

Now frustrated, Thiel yells back at the kids, \u201cThe Antichrist is coming! The Bible refers to the eagle, which refers to America, the fourth seal broken, and hell coming to Earth. It\u2019s right here in Revelations Six\u2026 Six-Seven.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Dead set on putting an end to the seemingly demonic \u201c6-7\u201d craze, Thiel dives into the school data center with PC Principal and South Park Elementary\u2019s counselor, Jesus Christ, to look for answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve downloaded all the students\u2019 information and loaded them into an AI face detection program so the school\u2019s security cameras can watch their every move,\u201d he says. \u201cNow look. Two students passing each other in the hallway. They give each other the sign: six, seven. Exactly 67 seconds later, this odd parka-wearing child makes the same gesture. And then inside the girls\u2019 bathroom, two girls doing the same thing!\u201d<\/p>\n

A concerned Jesus stops him, \u201cWait, why is there a camera inside the girls\u2019 bathroom?\u201d<\/p>\n

Thiel returns, \u201cTo stop the Antichrist!\u201d<\/p>\n

All the while, Thiel has been secretly working for JD Vance, who is determined to stop the Antichrist from being born so that he can take Trump\u2019s place instead of the devil child. He tells Vance, while en route to a child he suspects is connected to the demon spawn, \u201cI\u2019m very close to finding the secret of the numbers. I\u2019ve narrowed it down to one little boy who seems more possessed than the others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The child in question: Eric Cartman.<\/p>\n

Ala \u201cThe Exorcist,\u201d Thiel walks up to Cartman\u2019s room to free him from the possession.<\/p>\n

Thiel tells a giggling Cartman, \u201cI came to see you in an Uber. You know how long it took me to get here? Around six or seven minutes.\u201d Cartman starts laughing so hard that he projectile vomits all over Thiel.<\/p>\n

Unable to complete the exorcism, he tells Ms.Cartman that he must take her child to D.C., and that \u201ceverything we hold dear could end\u201d if he doesn\u2019t \u201cunlock the secrets he holds.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c6-7\u201d (pronounced \u201csix seven\u201d) is a viral lyric from the rap single \u201cDoot Doot (6 7)\u201d from American artist Skrilla. The phrase skyrocketed into the cultural zeitgeist through TikTok, proving especially popular with younger users. As demonstrated by \u201cSouth Park,\u201d \u201c6-7\u201d is often recited in tadum with a hand gesture popularized by a TikTok user named Maverick Trevillain, fittingly known as \u201cThe 67 Kid.\u201d The phrase doesn\u2019t appear to have any real meaning and functions more as an internet inside joke.<\/p>\n

Thiel recently made headlines after the Washington Post<\/a> published the contents of his invite-only, off-record lectures on religion and the tech industry. Across the four, roughly two-hour-long talks, the venture capitalist accused Greta Thunberg as well as all those who are critical of the rapid development of artificial intelligence of being \u201clegionnaires of the Antichrist.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a three-week wait, \u201cSouth Park\u201d is back with a new episode and a new season.
