'South Park' Is Tackling The Ozempic Craze—And Fans Can't Get Over Skinny Cartman

'South Park' Is Tackling The Ozempic Craze—And Fans Can't Get Over Skinny Cartman
Paramount+

A new special about the rise of weight loss drugs like Ozempic, entitled 'South Park: The End of Obesity,' is coming to Paramount+—and our first glimpse at a skinny Eric Cartman has fans totally weirded out.

One thing about South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone? They're always gonna have their fingers on the pulse.

And right now, that means one thing: Ozempic. Accordingly, the pair have created a special, South Park: The End Of Obesity, about the wildly popular weight loss drug—or diabetes drug that is used by some as a weight loss drug, as it were.


Naturally, that means that the show's iconic full-figured character, Eric Cartman, is going to take Ozempic and lose a bunch of pounds, right? Of course. And boy oh boy, is it weird.

The story centers on Cartman's doctor telling him it's time for him to take drastic measures to lose some weight.

Of course, that means trying the class of drugs called semaglutides, including Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy. But, of course, we here in America live in hell and can barely access life-saving healthcare, let alone elective weight loss drugs.

Accordingly, Cartman is rebuffed, sending the kids of South Park on a quest to get their chunky friend that body-changing shot, and suffice to say, the kids of South Park are successful in their endeavor.

The trailer for the special, which premieres May 24 on Paramount+, dropped about a week ago, and it definitely got fans excited. But it didn't contain any "after" images that confirmed whether or not Cartman actually reached his weight loss goal.

But a tweet from Trey Parker definitely did. It shows a photo of a post-Ozempic Cartman looking whippet thin and downright svelte



And boy, is it weird. Cartman looks... well, frankly, unrecognizable. Maybe even a bit uncanny. And South Park fans are basically freaking out about his new skinny look.










So there you go! It's not just rich suburban women and reality stars taking things a bit too far and getting so-called "Ozempic face." But will Cartman go under the plastic surgeon's knife to tighten up? We'll have to tune in to find out.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
