'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.

Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
