Cupid Ye

Cartman is jealous of the friendship that's developed between Kyle and Tolkien and decides to do something about it. ‘South Park’ Season 26 Premiere Parodies Kanye West Antisemitism Controversy

So, like, apparently, Kyle runs Hollywood or something?

"South Park" is back and better than ever with their latest episode "Cupid Ye" from Season 26! This episode takes on the controversial subject of antisemitism and pokes fun at none other than the one and only Kanye West.

Here are the top highlights of the episode:

"Cupid Ye": Cartman's character takes a spin on the infamous Cupid and transforms into the "naughty cherub" Cupid Ye, shooting hearts filled with antisemitism instead of love.

"Stan's Jealousy": The episode centers around Stan's jealousy over the friendship between Kyle (who is Jewish) and Tolkien. This leads Cartman, being the "good Christian" he is, to confront Tolkien in the band room and praise him for being OK with Kyle, given the recent "information" about the Jews stealing the Black race's identity.

"Historically Dubious Rant": Cartman doubles down on his antisemitic comments and goes on a historically dubious rant about how Jews came to America and had to invent a story for themselves to make everyone believe because "Kyle runs Hollywood!" This is an obvious nod to Kanye's recent string of hateful antisemitic comments.

"Taking Down Woke Culture": The episode also takes down woke culture and pokes fun at Avatar 2.

"Hitler wasn't a bad guy": The show parodies one of Kanye's masked media interviews spreading anti-Jewish hate, with even Cartman slowing Cupid Ye's claim that "Hitler actually wasn't a bad guy."

"South Park" never fails to bring the laughs while also tackling controversial subjects. Be sure to check out the full episode on their website.
