South Park” brought back Towelie for a traumatic trip to Trump’s militarized Washington, as Tim Cook and other oligarchs made cameos

Season 27's ratings record-busting run continued Wednesday, with the third episode taking its focus off MAGA and toward the effects of technology.

The August 20 episode of South Park will see Towelie traveling to our nation’s occupied capital. “This seems like the perfect place for a towel!” he cries as he approaches the White House while a tank rolls by.

South Park has joined the conversation around the pending marijuana rescheduling proposal that President Donald Trump says he’ll be deciding on within weeks—poking fun at the president by suggesting that he might accept a deal to change federal cannabis laws if flattered with gifts and the promise of “mutually beneficial” rewards.

“South Park” isn’t one to pull punches, and in its third episode of Season 27, titled “Sickofancy,” the creative team behind the show continued to take aim at President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as tech companies ranging from Apple to OpenAI, all with a chaser of cannabis politics.

I can't help but wonder if that's why the anthropomorphic cloth is headed to Washington in this latest episode, "Sickofancy." Or there's also the chance he's just going to remind everyone of when and where they should be using a towel.
