South Park Takes Aim at Antisemitism in Hilarious Season 26 Premiere!

Comedy Meets Controversy: South Park Takes on Kanye West Antisemitism 


Comedy Central continues to use comedy to help raise awareness of social issues in a another Hilarious Kanye West Lampoon from South Park Studios.

South Park kicks off Season 26  02/08/2023 with Cupid Ye 


"South Park" is back and better than ever with their latest episode "Cupid Ye" from Season 26! This episode takes on the controversial subject of antisemitism and pokes fun at none other than the one and only Kanye West.


Here are the top highlights of the episode:


"Cupid Ye": Cartman's character takes a spin on the infamous Cupid and transforms into the "naughty cherub" Cupid Ye, shooting hearts filled with antisemitism instead of love.


"Stan's Jealousy": The episode centers around Stan's jealousy over the friendship between Kyle (who is Jewish) and Tolkien. This leads Cartman, being the "good Christian" he is, to confront Tolkien in the band room and praise him for being OK with Kyle, given the recent "information" about the Jews stealing the Black race's identity.


"Historically Dubious Rant": Cartman doubles down on his antisemitic comments and goes on a historically dubious rant about how Jews came to America and had to invent a story for themselves to make everyone believe because "Kyle runs Hollywood!" This is an obvious nod to Kanye's recent string of hateful antisemitic comments.


"Taking Down Woke Culture": The episode also takes down woke culture and pokes fun at Avatar 2.


"Hitler wasn't a bad guy": The show parodies one of Kanye's masked media interviews spreading anti-Jewish hate, with even Cartman slowing Cupid Ye's claim that "Hitler actually wasn't a bad guy."


"South Park" never fails to bring the laughs while also tackling controversial subjects. Be sure to check out the full episode on their website.

The brand, which sells outdoor clothing, was created as a parody of corporate activism and aims to raise awareness about the Holocaust and support Holocaust education. Through Summit Ice, Fielder raises important questions about the ethics of consumerism and the responsibility of businesses towards social causes. He highlights how some companies may prioritize profit and image over genuine social impact, and how consumers can be swayed by surface-level displays of activism without critically examining the authenticity of those efforts.
