The latest episode of South Park, titled “Sickofancy,” premiered on August 21, 2025, and has become the most polarizing entry of Season 27. This episode features the return of the character Towelie and explores a fictional military takeover of Washington, D.C., led by former President Donald Trump. Additionally, it parodies tech giants Tim Cook of Apple and Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, generating a wide range of responses from viewers.
Following the acclaim for the season’s first two episodes, reactions to “Sickofancy” have been sharply divided. Many fans expressed disappointment, with one viewer stating, “I don’t think this episode of South Park was as good as the last two (granted it was a high bar), but it was funny to see South Park call out the military occupation of D.C.” Another fan questioned the show’s direction, asking, “What is South Park even about?”
Some fans described the episode as “just alright,” noting that the most interesting aspect was that it appears Tegridy Farms may be permanently closed. “Had some funny moments, but mostly just meh,” remarked one viewer.
Mixed Reviews Highlight Episode’s Impact
Conversely, not all responses were negative. A number of fans praised the episode for its vibrant energy and biting satire. One viewer exclaimed, “Just watched tonight’s episode of South Park: Sickofancy and man, was that episode wild.” Another enthusiastically shared a scene featuring Zuckerberg and Trump, stating, “Look at this! South Park did it again!”
The unpredictability of the season has also been a point of discussion, particularly after the character Randy sold Towelie to Trump. One fan remarked, “South Park really doesn’t care who catches a stray this season.”
This third episode follows the highly praised installments “Sermon on the Mount” and “Got a Nut,” which tackled prominent political figures including Trump, JD Vance, and Kristi Noem. The acclaim for these earlier episodes set a challenging standard, making it almost inevitable that this latest episode would receive a mixed reception.
Despite some viewers noting a diminishing shock factor compared to earlier episodes, “Sickofancy” has still managed to generate substantial discussion. Its blend of political commentary and absurd storylines continues to engage audiences, maintaining the show’s relevance in contemporary cultural discourse.
