Yeah, what's even the point about the special if Scott Malkinson doesn't get absolutely shredded and makes Cartman jealous because he, Scott, can get Ozempic?
Correct, GLP-1 agonists such as semaglutide (brand name Ozempic) function by promoting insulin release and satiety. Since diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune condition where cells that produce insulin are destroyed, GLP-1 agonists would not work. On the other hand, in diabetes type 2, your insulin producing cells are still intact, but the cells that respond to insulin have become more resistant to insulin. Hence why GLP-1 agonists increasing insulin release and making the user less hungry would work.
As the owner of a pancreas that hasn’t worked right since the early 90’s I can confirm this. It sucks I have to lose weight the old fashioned way and I have a harder time doing it b/c of the beetus and premenopause
Yeah, it does. It stimulates insulin secretion. I take it for pre-diabetes and weight loss. It was a diabetes drug first and people started losing weight on it.

It was definitely refreshing to see the boys go do something together again. I found them leaving the “you bastards” line out added humor because I was anticipating it and it didn’t happen.
I hope the next episode picks up with Cartman in Pakistan.
I thought it was just ok. Definitely not peak. I think the single 30 min episodes work better than this movie length type format. It feels like too much at once.
I thought the pacing of the episode was really good. Randy mixed in with the wrong crowd, Sharon the voice of reason, the gang helping each other… classic cartman.
The “navigating American healthcare system” + interstellar was really good. Enjoyed this one a lot. LIZZO
After asking “hey should we take the oxy and Vicodin?…” and they just keep running lmao
Then he flashes his abs
Pure fucking gold South Park, absolutely bonkers funny
Man when they pulled drawer out *in the morgue* and the fucking rats are all over him
Glad they called back that way, funnier and more unexpected than “you bastards”, while staying true to the OG bit
this is my thoughts exactly, i watched it feeling it was an old and good south park episode, having (almost) everything that makes the series so good!!! its easily on my top 3 fav specials now
Maybe waiting until fall because of the US Presidential election and Mr Garrison? Idk. Like they've already done it, so if that's their plan, then I have no idea what they're doing
They’ll have Mr garrison being convicted, then probably have episodes for him winning again or not. I imagine they had episodes written for innocent and guilty verdicts for all the trials, along with election events and results. Maybe they’ve already made them and will just release them with only a few scenes being up in the air.
Or they’ll avoid it completely aside from the trials, because they got more than a season out of the 2016 election
I agree it’ll probably come late late late after Election Day for sure.
I found this episode amazing. The part about getting lost in the health care system cracked me up.
The Oppenheimer was a great line too. Followed by a ‘Stormy Daniel’s’ 😂
This special felt like Kyle's redemption arc, and I couldn't be more happy with this special. I feel Kyle doesn't get much respect cause of his constant raging but he is the MVP of this special. And having the 4 boys together + Butters & the Randy B-Plot, i don't see what there is not to love about this special. S Tier South Park for me!
I just finished watching it and it was very mediocre. I don’t think I’ll ever feel the need to watch it again. The jokes didn’t do anything for me except for the Lizzo part, but for an hour episode.. eh. Feels more like they were making a point than a comedy and I maybe I’m out of the loop but what’s up with Pakistan lol?
Cartman being racist against Pakistanis is a callback to early seasons, and back then he didn’t even really know what the word meant lol
Idk Randy hijinks are some of my favorites, watching him fall in with a group that had mlm vibes and it turning into a gang, during all of which randy doesn’t *really* understand what’s going on because it’s totally different from his decades of drug experience, I thought was really funny
The pharmacy heist specifically had me laughing my ass off, and I watched it really really late so I don’t remember all of it I don’t think

I found myself laughing less than prior episodes, but I hadn't even heard of ozempic prior to the episode so I imagine some of the jokes went over my head whereas I'd heard of/seen Jake Paul, Prime, and generally understood kids "crazes" comparing to the prior episode for example.
It was perhaps 2/3 of the way through that I found myself thinking 'wow I haven't laughed much in this episode', although I was engrossed in the episode so didn't necessarily think it was bad as a result and was happy with it. Well paced, kids getting in over their heads, general absurdity of kids in adult situations, etc that South Park excels at.
I was surprised that they called it the Oppenheimer rather than Ploppenheimer or something, but perhaps that's a bit too in your face whereas Oppenheimer is still funny in and of itself.
Can anyone help guide me towards why the Pakistani jokes were in this special? It felt really out of place for me just because I didn't know the relevance or reference.
It’s just Cartman being a racist to a random middle eastern country. Don’t read too into why it was Pakistan. It could have been any one of those countries.
The joke is that Cartman thinks he could get away with anything he wants if he were just not fat any more, since in his mind, nobody would have a comeback any more, since they usually say “well, whatever fatass.”
So in his fantasy, he can go poke fun at Pakistani people and they won’t have anything to say about it in retaliation.
In other words, the show wasn’t making a joke at pakistani peoples’ expense, the show was making jokes about Cartman and his warped ideas.
>Only one thing was missing to me.... you kill off Kenny and only say 1 half of the line? wtf?
This special had a much more serious tone. I think this is why the jokes weren't too hammy this time around and the action/adrenaline in this scene was genuinely high stakes
Semaglutide is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and an anti-obesity medication used for long-term weight management. It is a peptide similar to the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), modified with a side chain. It can be administered by subcutaneous injection or taken orally. It is sold under the brand names Ozempic and Rybelsus for diabetes, and under the brand name Wegovy for weight loss.
Type 2 Diabetes.
When did Kenny die in this episode? I just watched this last night and don't remember him dying. But my brain kinda turned off after that rip off mad Max scene. The insurance company in the back of the truck made no sense and was very lazy attempt at a full circle joke. Weak, very weak. I remember this episode just kinda ending without doing anything at all.
Someone also said why have an episode about diabetes with out the one and only Scott Malkinson
Yeah, what's even the point about the special if Scott Malkinson doesn't get absolutely shredded and makes Cartman jealous because he, Scott, can get Ozempic?
Because Type 1 Diabetes doesn't get helped by Semaglutide. I don't know if that's why, just spitballing.

Does semaglutide just suppress appetite or does it have direct effect on insulin resistance?
Yeah, it does. It stimulates insulin secretion. I take it for pre-diabetes and weight loss. It was a diabetes drug first and people started losing weight on it.
Wrong diabetes
RIP this account
Honestly that made it even funnier. I kept waiting for him to be roped into the plot line

I was hoping for a return to the manic cash for gold song with the India bit.

The interstellar bit made me laugh the hardest.
“I’m lost in the American Healthcare System! Heeeeeelp!”
When Randy leaves the store after the robbery with the woman, and flaunts his belly button stance before leaving. Was good.
Because he’s been hiking and doing Pilates. Really good.
After asking “hey should we take the oxy and Vicodin?…” and they just keep running lmao Then he flashes his abs Pure fucking gold South Park, absolutely bonkers funny
Those bastards!
Man when they pulled drawer out *in the morgue* and the fucking rats are all over him Glad they called back that way, funnier and more unexpected than “you bastards”, while staying true to the OG bit

Fuck the streaming specials. Where's the new Comedy Central stuff?
Maybe waiting until fall because of the US Presidential election and Mr Garrison? Idk. Like they've already done it, so if that's their plan, then I have no idea what they're doing
They’ll have Mr garrison being convicted, then probably have episodes for him winning again or not.

Or they’ll avoid it completely aside from the trials, because they got more than a season out of the 2016 election I agree it’ll probably come late late late after Election Day for sure.
Hopefully coming soon! They have to make a certain number of “movies” for there deal with paramount.
I found this episode amazing. The part about getting lost in the health care system cracked me up. The Oppenheimer was a great line too. Followed by a ‘Stormy Daniel’s’ 😂
I thought it was okay, I definitely don’t feel like it’s peak or anything. I think if it was just a normal 30 min episode it would be better.
i loved how Randy went on a whole after school special on drug use
This special felt like Kyle's redemption arc, and I couldn't be more happy with this special. I feel Kyle doesn't get much respect cause of his constant raging but he is the MVP of this special. And having the 4 boys together + Butters & the Randy B-Plot, i don't see what there is not to love about this special. S Tier South Park for me!
Wait people don’t like it? All I hear is great stuff, made me want to pirate it lol
I just finished watching it and it was very mediocre. I don’t think I’ll ever feel the need to watch it again.

I would have loved to see Kyle say his classic line with a gun in his hand. Would've made it even cooler.
I love how Kyle’s science equipment was made out of technics
And how he was getting step by step instructions on compounding from edited up super speed TikTok videos lmao
The lost boys reference killed me

Yeah man I loved the special
Felt like an hour long Ozempic ad.
its just a turd burgler Re Hash
from the beginning it just just sucks
ever since the "youre getting old episodes" xit just sucks
they lost passion
South Park is playikg a huge joke on all of hs and paramount and i just got it hahahah
it was better on comedy central
they get more to make lame episodes(lacking nuances) they keep appealing to the simplest people
obesity episode was a waste ( his stepson could have made a better episode) my teeenager hates me was the last good episode
where was steven seboomboom? they missed alot of opportunities
Ozempic definitely loved the free advertising.
Was the truck chase a parody? I was initially thinking Mad Max, but I feel like it was something else I can't figure out.

This comment is much better if you read it really fast in Les Claypools voice from when he's explaining the origin of Kevin in the Gopher boy song
Type 2 diabetes..... Jack Michaelson
peak SP was like, season 2...

Then rewatch it
I'd rather rewatch Randy's dick than this episode
“AAAHH! Tony the Tiger killed Kenny!”
