‘South Park’ Season 28 Starts With ‘6-7’ TikTok Trend and Peter Thiel
After a three-week wait, “South Park” returns with a new episode and a new season.
In a surprising turn of events, the short-lived Season 27 ended after just five episodes, instead of the previously scheduled 10, a Comedy Central spokesperson confirmed. No details were provided about the reason. Wednesday’s Season 28 premiere saw South Park Elementary enveloped in the TikTok “6-7” trend, and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel believes the Antichrist is responsible.
The episode begins at a gathering led by the PC principal, who is determined to get South Park Elementary back on track after getting caught up in some “sacred number bullshit” going on. To set the record straight, he brought in a guest speaker to speak some sense to the student body: “the ultimate expert on the end of days and the coming of the Antichrist,” Peter Thiel.
He says, “Hi kids, I’m Peter Thiel, and I’m here to talk to you about the Antichrist.” “Well, first, what is the Antichrist? The Antichrist is a newer, more human form of Satan that will walk the Earth soon. We don’t know when he will walk the Earth, but it may be within the next six to seven weeks.”
Then the body of South Park Elementary students exploded in unison, “6-7!”
Confused, Thiel continues his impromptu TED talk. He explains that Satan was unable to have a child until Donald Trump came along, who has the perfect size of manhood to match the size of Satan’s “hole” rectum. How big is Trump’s manhood? Thiel estimates it’s between “six and seven centimetres.”
Once again, his Gen Alpha audience shouts, “6-7!”
Now frustrated, Thiel shouts to the kids, “The Antichrist is coming! The Bible points to the eagle, which points to America, and the fourth seal is broken, and hell is coming to earth. He’s here in the sixth apocalypse… the sixth and seventh.”
Determined to put an end to the seemingly demonic madness of “6-7,” Thiel dives into the school’s data center with South Park Elementary’s computer director and counselor, Jesus Christ, to search for answers.
“I downloaded all the students’ information and uploaded it into the AI-based face detection software so that the school’s security cameras could monitor their every move,” he says. “Look now. Two students pass each other in the hallway. They point to each other: six, seven. And exactly 67 seconds later, this strange kid in a jacket makes the same gesture. And then inside the girls’ bathroom, two girls do the same thing!”
Jesus stopped him worriedly, saying, “Wait, why is there a camera inside the girls’ bathroom?”
Thiel returns, saying, “To stop the Antichrist!”
All the while, Thiel has been secretly working for J.D. Vance, who is determined to prevent the birth of the Antichrist so that he can take Trump’s place in the Devil Child’s place. As he made his way to a child he suspected of being connected to the devil, he told Vance, “I’m very close to finding the secret of the numbers. I’ve narrowed it down to a little boy who seems more possessed than the others.”
Child in question: Eric Cartman.
Ala “The Exorcist”, Thel walks into Cartman’s room to free him from possession.
“I came to see you in an Uber,” Thel says to a laughing Cartman. “Do you know how long it took me to get here? About six or seven minutes.” Cartman starts laughing so hard that he vomits all over Thel.
Unable to complete the exorcism, he tells Ms. Cartman that he must take her child to D.C., and that “everything we hold dear could end” if he does not “reveal the secrets he holds.”
“6-7” (pronounced “six seven”) is a viral lyric from the rap single “Doot Doot (6 7)” by American artist Skrilla. The phrase rose into the cultural zeitgeist through TikTok, and has proven particularly popular among younger users. As shown in “South Park,” the “6-7” in tadum is often recited with a hand gesture popularized by a TikTok user named Maverick Trevillain, known as “The 67 Kid.” This phrase doesn’t seem to have any real meaning and acts more as an inside joke on the internet.
Thiel made headlines recently after The Washington Post He published the contents of his invitation-only, non-recorded lectures on religion and the technology industry. During the four conversations, which lasted for about two hours, the venture capitalist accused Greta Thunberg as well as all those who criticize the rapid development of artificial intelligence of being “soldiers of the Antichrist.”
