South Park Set To Wok And Woll With New Episode September 3rd

A new promo for a upcoming South Park episode has been released, focusing on the effects of tariffs and a new collectibles craze.

The episode, titled “Wok is Dead,” is set to air on Comedy Central on Wednesday, September 3. Its synopsis reveals that Butters will “experience the reality of tariffs” while trying to buy a popular collectible, a Labubu doll, for his girlfriend’s birthday.

The promo also features a quick glimpse of President Trump and Satan getting off Air Force One, continuing the show’s tradition of satirizing current events and political figures. This is part of the show’s 27th season, which has been airing on a bi-weekly schedule and has already received attention for its commentary on politics and pop culture.

Synopsis:

The Emmy® and Peabody® Award-winning, animated series, “South Park,” created by comic geniuses Trey Parker and Matt Stone, features the breathtakingly irreverent and ruthlessly funny misadventures of four foul-mouthed, troublemaking young boys in a small town nestled in the Colorado Rockies. It has been praised by the prestigious Peabody® committee as “COMEDY CENTRAL’s notoriously rude, undeniably fearless lampoon of all that is self-important and hypocritical in American life, regardless of race, creed, color or celebrity status.” We couldn’t agree more. “South Park” continues to surprise even its most devoted fans each and every week. Known for its unbelievably immediate and ruthless responses to world events, “South Park’s” new episodes bring up-to-the-minute news and pop culture icons (including Al Gore, J. Lo, Kanye West, Oprah, Sir Elton John, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and P. Diddy) to the town of South Park for social commentary and good old-fashioned ridicule. “South Park” launched on August 13, 1997 and is based on the animated short entitled, “The Spirit of Christmas.” Co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are Executive Producers, along with Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II. Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bill Hader, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are Producers.
