South Park’s Latest Episode Takes Aim at Let’s Play Videos and YouTubers

South Park

South Park has had a preview released for its penultimate episode of season 18, and Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the Emmy-winning show, are once again aiming to mock the gaming community.

The 15-second preview for the latest episode, “#REHASH,” features fan-favourite Eric Cartman embarking on his YouTube career by commentating over “Let’s Play” videos.

“Today, I’m going to comment on Call of Duty,” Cartman explains in the preview. “More specifically, I’m going to comment on my friends commenting on Call of Duty.” 

This season’s “Grounded Vindaloop” focused on the upcoming VR headset Oculus Rift, while “Freemium Isn’t Free” ridiculed the concept of free-to-play mobile titles — and the latter featured a hilarious app called ‘Terrance & Philip: Give Us Your Money.’

YouTubers have become even more prominent in their influence over the past decade, and one of the well-known personalities that have made a living off the profession is Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie.

“#REHASH” is scheduled to air on December 3rd at 10:00 P.M. ET/PT on Comedy Central.
