After a three-week break, South Park returned with an episode that ties a bizarre internet trend to the season’s biggest storyline. In “Twisted Christian,” the children of South Park Elementary become obsessed with the meaningless numbers “6-7,” leading tech billionaire Peter Thiel to suspect a satanic cult is at work and that Eric Cartman may be the key to stopping the Antichrist.
The episode continues the ongoing plot of Satan being pregnant with Donald Trump’s child, setting the stage for the birth of the Antichrist. While the adults see a demonic prophecy, the kids are just repeating a viral meme, creating the perfect chaos that only South Park can deliver.
The Baffling “6-7” Craze Sweeps South Park
A new trend has taken over South Park Elementary, and parents and teachers are completely lost. The students, led by Eric Cartman, have become obsessed with shouting the numbers “six, seven” while making a specific hand gesture. The adults in the town hear the chant and see the gesture but have no idea what it means.
This plotline is based on a real-life internet meme. The phrase “6-7” comes from the song “Doot Doot” by the rapper Skrilla. The term became a viral sensation on TikTok and is especially popular with children and teenagers. For those over the age of 14, the joke is confusing because it has no specific meaning. It functions as an inside joke or a piece of “brainrot” humor that kids find hilarious precisely because it frustrates adults. In the episode, the school staff, utterly perplexed, informs parents that their children are in a “cult involving the numbers six and seven.”
Peter Thiel Hunts the Antichrist
The children’s obsession with “6-7” draws the attention of tech mogul Peter Thiel. The school brings him in as an expert on the Antichrist to give a lecture on satanic numerology. In the episode, Thiel tells the students:
“I’m Peter Thiel and I know about the anti-Christ.”
He explains that the Antichrist is a new, more human form of Satan that will walk the Earth, possibly in the next “six to seven weeks.” Every time he mentions the numbers six and seven, the children erupt in laughter, shouting “6-7!” Thiel, convinced this is more than a simple meme, uses the school’s security system to download all the students’ data. He uses AI face detection to watch their every move, trying to find a connection to the Antichrist.
This storyline is a direct parody of the real-life Peter Thiel. Recently, the billionaire held a series of lectures where he discussed the end times and theorized about the potential for an “Antichrist” figure in modern society. The show uses this to fuel its plot, with Thiel secretly working with J.D. Vance to stop the birth of Satan and Trump’s baby, hoping to clear Vance’s path to power.
Eric Cartman’s Demonic Connection
Eric Cartman, as always, takes the joke further than anyone else. He finds the “6-7” meme so funny that he laughs until he projectile vomits. This happens for “six or seven nights in a row,” concerning his mother enough to call a doctor. When Peter Thiel analyzes the school data, he zeroes in on Cartman, deciding the boy is “more possessed” than the other children.
In a scene that parodies the horror film The Exorcist, Thiel visits Cartman at home to perform an exorcism. When Thiel mentions that his Uber ride took “around six or seven minutes,” Cartman laughs so violently that he vomits all over Thiel. The failed exorcism leads Thiel to a new conclusion. He tells Cartman’s mother that he must take Eric to Washington, D.C., declaring:
“We have to unlock the secrets he holds, no matter what it takes.”
Thiel believes Cartman could be the key to stopping the Antichrist from being born.
Jesus Confronts Modern Christianity
A parallel story in the episode follows Jesus Christ, who is trying to understand modern Christianity in South Park. He goes on a double date with PC Principal and a woman named Peggy Rockbottom. Jesus is horrified by what he sees, accusing PC Principal of using the Bible to bully people.
After a confrontation, Jesus walks away to think but then returns. He decides to accept this new, warped version of Christianity, pulling Peggy Rockbottom out of the restaurant and embracing his inner “bro.” This subplot highlights how traditional religious figures struggle with the evolution of faith in the modern world.
The Ongoing Saga of Trump and Satan’s Baby
The “6-7” mystery is tightly connected to the season’s larger story arc. The episode reminds viewers that Satan is due to give birth to the Antichrist any day, a child conceived with Donald Trump. The previous episode showed Trump trying to get an abortion to save his social life at Mar-a-Lago.
In this episode, J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel continue this mission, with Trump attempting to get an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic. Their goal is to prevent the Antichrist from being born so Vance does not have to compete with the demon child for power in Washington. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Thiel taking Cartman to D.C., suggesting the next episode will directly address the impending birth.
The new episode of South Park is officially listed as Season 27, Episode 6, though some sources and platforms labeled it as the premiere of Season 28. Comedy Central has confirmed that Season 27 will continue with more episodes. The show is scheduled to return with new installments on October 29, November 12, November 26, and December 10.
