Comedy Central South Park wrapped up its 27th season unexpectedly after just five episodes. However, on Wednesday, the series kicked off its 28th season, taking aim at the viral 6-on-7 trend, poking fun at tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel, and offering further critiques of President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.
Following a three-week break, the episode opens with an assembly at South Park Elementary School. The PC principal addresses the students about the 6-on-7 trend, which he describes as “demonic numerology.” He introduces Peter Thiel, founder of Plantir, as someone who can shed light on the issue, calling him “an absolute expert on the last days and the coming of the Antichrist.”
“Hello, everyone. I’m Peter Thiel, and I’m here to talk about the Antichrist,” he begins. “So, what exactly is the Antichrist? It’s a more human-like form of Satan that will soon be walking the Earth. We aren’t sure when…maybe in the next six or seven weeks.”
The children instantly start chanting “6-7, 6-7.”
For those who might be unfamiliar, “6-7” has become a viral chant, mostly used by school kids, but its exact meaning is murky. It has roots in lyrics from a drill rap song by American rapper Skrilla. While some have linked it to gang culture or sports, Skrilla insists he never gave any clear definitions. Regardless, it’s definitely taken off, especially on platforms like TikTok.
Thiel proceeds to make a rather bizarre claim that the Antichrist will emerge because Donald Trump’s anatomy is so underwhelming it can penetrate Satan’s “pinhole” anus, estimating Trump’s size to be around “6 or 7 centimeters.”
Unsurprisingly, the kids continue with their “6-7, 6-7” chant.
Thiel, frustrated by the distractions, shouts to the children, “The Antichrist is coming! The Bible mentions an eagle—it’s talking about America—and hints at the breaking of the fourth seal, which signals the arrival of hell on Earth. It’s all there in Revelation chapters 6…and 7.”
As the episode unfolds, Thiel sets up surveillance cameras in the school, even in the girls’ bathroom, to catch students using the 6-7 chant and their associated hand gestures.
It soon becomes clear that Vice President J.D. Vance is collaborating with Thiel to wipe out the 6-on-7 trend to prevent the emergence of the Antichrist. Vance has his sights set on becoming president after Trump, not on being the Antichrist.
Thiel then decides to try an exorcism on Eric Cartman, who has developed an obsession with 6 and 7. Spoiler alert: the exorcism does not work.
In the episode’s climax, Thiel instructs Cartman’s mother to take her son to Washington, D.C., or risk losing “everything we hold dear.”
