South Park Shares Teaser to Announce Season 26 Premiere Date: Watch
Hold on tight, possibly to your butt cheeks, because South Park is back with Season 26 on February 8th. To celebrate the return, Comedy Central has shared a teaser trailer with the words, “There’s no place like here,” and a Season 9 clip of Butters receiving an unfortunate anal probe. Will that hard-to-forget moment get a callback in the new season? The teaser doesn’t say, and considering the short turnaround times under which Trey Parker and Matt Stone work, it’s possible that they themselves don’t know, because none of Season 26 has been written yet. More outstanding questions include, how many episodes will be in Season 26? Season 25 was comprised of only six episodes, though the creators stayed busy with four Paramount+ specials: South Park: Post Covid, South Park: Post Covid...
Welcome to South Park, Fat-Ass: Our 1998 South Park Cover Story
This article originally appeared in the March 1998 issue of SPIN. It is being republished in honor of the 25th anniversary of South Park. Here’s how it works in the post-Simpsons era. The tremors start at coffee shops, movie queues, dorm rooms: young people talking in bizarre pinched voices. Goateed cashiers spouting off-color catchphrases. Strange little icons on T-shirts and screen savers. Then, the Web sites spring up. The upstart network flourishes. The single is released. The movie is announced. Suddenly, before you know it, we’re up to our bungholes in ’90s cartoon Zeitgeist. With the unstoppable force of a dead-Chris Farley joke, Comedy Central’s sick, crudely animated half-hour show South Park—featuring the adventures of four gimlet-eyed, foul-mouthed third-graders—has become ...
Matt Stone and Trey Parker Celebrate 25 Years of South Park with RUSH, Primus, and Ween
A small girl sarcastically sang “JOE BIDEN TOOK OUR JOBS!” into a microphone while South Park co-creator Matt Stone laughed uproariously, Dean and Gene Ween provided backup vocals, Primus’ Les Claypool played bass and Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush sat silently smiling. The plumes of smoke emanating from the 9,545 fans jammed into Red Rocks Amphitheatre were especially thick at this moment on Wednesday night (August 10th). It was the second of two sold-out South Park 25th-anniversary shows, starring Stone and his partner, Trey Parker, as ringleaders of a circus in which Ween performed on stage left, Primus manned stage right and “Blame Canada,” “Uncle Fucka,” “What Would Brian Boitano Do?” and other profane “South Park” classics wafted from the middle. If the satire didn’t always come ...
Surviving Rush Members Reunite at South Park Bash Outside Denver
Surviving Rush members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson reunited on stage last night (Aug. 10) for the first time since drummer Neil Peart’s January 2020 death as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of South Park at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside Denver. The musicians performed Rush’s “Closer to the Heart” with members of Primus and South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone joining in. Beforehand, Lee and Lifeson appeared “live from Canada” on-screen in animated form, first complaining about the beloved South Park song “Blame Canada” and then deciding to “show up and jam.” In a knowing nod to what was to come, Primus performed “Closer to the Heart” the night before at the first South Park bash. Last night, Stone lent a hand on drums, even taking a brief solo at Primus frontman Les Clay...
Primus and Ween Toast South Park in Wild 25th Anniversary Concert
The only thing anyone seemed to know going into last night’s epic South Park birthday bash at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater was that it was going to be wild and weird. In honor of the show’s 25th anniversary, the show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone brought funk-metal band Primus and Ween together for two sold-out nights of comedy, mayhem, and singalongs. They led a rousing “Uncle F**ka,” backed by both bands. The stage was adorned with cutouts of snowy South Park trees, instruments, a few lawn chairs, and a cooler. Even Les Claypool seemed amused. “What the hell is goin’ on here, man” the Primus bassist asked at some point later on. That was the vibe of the night. Throughout the show, Primus and Ween, plus Parker and Stone, traded performing and sitting onstage to watch their ol...

South Park Drops Majestic Orchestral Performance of “Gay Fish”: Watch
Cue the violins and jam a juicy fishstick in your mouth: Ahead of the February 2nd premiere of South Park’s 25th season, the rudest boys in Colorado have created something majestic — a sweeping orchestral performance of the SP original, “Gay Fish.” This iconic tune from Season 13, Episode 5 was sung by a character named Kanye West, who, after a full episode of not understanding a joke about fishsticks, had just discovered, to his great relief, that not only was he an aquatic vertebrate, but he was a homosexual one at that. The episode ended with him happily humping his way through the ocean. This new rendition features a 30-piece orchestra — 29 real humans and Cartman, judging from the video. With classically crisp diction, the choir soars through the phrases, “Gay fish/ Mot...
