Towelie Heads to D.C. on This Week's South Park
Briefly

South Park season 27 continues aggressive political satire targeting the Trump administration and conservative figures while delivering high ratings. Episode three, 'Sickofancy,' airs August 20 at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central and streams the next day on Paramount+. The episode sends Towelie to a militarized Washington, D.C., where a tank rolls by the White House and the National Guard has been deployed. The president attempts to take control of the Metropolitan Police Department over an alleged 'crime wave' lacking statistical support. The season also portrays Mr. Mackey as an ICE agent and Clyde as a Charlie Kirk–style debater. Marijuana is decriminalized in the episode.
As if Washington, D.C., didn't have enough on its plate right now. The August 20 episode of will see Towelie traveling to our nation's occupied capital. "This seems like the perfect place for a towel!" he cries as he approaches the White House while a tank rolls by. South Park continues its season-long aggravation of the Trump administration, which has been paying off in the ratings; the season 27 premiere saw the show get its biggest share in 25 years.
After getting fired from South Park Elementary, Mr. Mackey pivoted from guidance counselor to ICE agent. Clyde has become a Charlie Kirk-style master debater. And now Towelie will barely notice the police state that D.C. has become. The president has deployed the National Guard in the capital and attempted to take over the Metropolitan Police Department, allegedly to stop a "crime wave" for which there is no statistical support.
