This episode contains spoilers For the South Park season 27, Episode 4, "Wok is dead".

Season 27 South Park shoots all cylinders. After a few years away, the adult cartoon returned with another of her best seasonsAnd so far it has managed to catch a combination of relatively healthy children's fun, stormy and vulgar humor and satire bites at the same time. Indeed, the new episodes of South Park continue to make some timely comments by going ruthlessly after twice convicted convict Donald Trump and his entire presidential administration. The latest episode of the show, "Wok is dead", even has Trump impregnated the prince himself of darkness, Satanwith hell.

The rest of the episode is just like biting and funny, as South Park reveals the sources of some of the greatest evils in 2025. The first is the rise of the lab, a line of collecting plush small toy monsters with sharp teeth and large ears, as sold by Chinese retailer Pop March in mysteries. Just as the phenomena in Labubu took over the real world, with small creatures being sold everywhere (they draw huge crowds and create a large resale market with overwhelmed prices), he also took over the city of South Park. "Wok is dead" is, in many ways, reminiscent of "Acadnomomon" from "Returning to the Third Season of the Show", an episode that similarly parodies a mass cultural event in the form of the "Pokémon" franchise (even if that episode completely underestimated how long it will last).

However, the difference is that this particular cultural phenomenon brings violence in South Park, from fights among children arguing over whether their labube is false for children who perform satanic rituals with their little critics and pass through curses such as J-Horor. Yes, the labus is literally evil, according to the episode, because they are all affected by a curse - namely, Trump's tariffs, which are transferred from the government to the seller and then from the seller to the buyer.

Yes, that's how it is. The labus owns the curse that is tariff, one of the funniest evils of 2025 - which speaks something, given the "South Park" already has Make a parody this season that includes the abduction of ice Dora researcher In the middle of a live show. Of course, a child who learns about first -hand tariffs is none other than butter (Matt Stone), a heart -full -based boy who can laugh at a storm cloud and turn frown into a smile for free. The poor little boy is fooled to buy an ultra-retely Labibu for the personality of his Ection, Red (Mona Marshall) as a birthday gift, just to realize that small monsters are $ 85 now because of tariffs. Except, tariffs are not just Economic absurdity, they are also literally a curse, as explained by Mr Kim (Trey Parker) by City Wok (which is now turned into an Asian pop-up store because, as Mr Kim said, "Wok is dead").

Surely, "Wok is dead" ends with the red conduct of a satanic ritual (full of chicken blood) to bring his new ultra-retat Labbbu to life by calling demons by accident calling Trump and Satan to her birthday party. The view of a bunch of young girls fleeing Trump is fantastic, but even more so because most of the episode include a bunch of Trump bunches that are debating whether he is a "f *** ing" Satan "in the best double" South Park "for years.

What makes the episode so effective is how he catches the tone of the children-wide "South Park", because Buters are just trying to impress a girl before entering the world of tariffs, "watery" and Satan's rituals. His portrayal of the laboratory as owned sources of evil in a similar way brings in mind that it is revealed that Act Popomomon is part of a secret plot by the Japanese government to wash children who washed brain in the United States to become troops for the upcoming attack on Pearl Harbor. The whole thing is equal parts absurd and funny.

"South Park" is currently moving to Paramount+.
