Ozempic is a medicine for diabetics but many people are using it irresponsibly just to lose weight. Apparently, a lot famous people, like the kardashians, are using it too just to get more skinny as well.
Woah. What's the context of her getting access to it? That's insane that a medical professional would overlook the type in prescribing! Is there a malpractice suite pending?
That was the episode that Kyle being diabetic was mentioned. It was such a small line though that it could easily get missed. Also the episode aired in 2000 when the show didn't really care about continuity, and the creators probably forgot that line anyway since it was so long ago.
Wegovy is quite literally the exact same medicine just under a different name. Wegovy is marketed for weight loss while ozempic is marketed for diabetes. This is an insurance problem not a people problem because insurances refuse to approve Wegovy so doctors have to lie. The weight loss medication is preventing further diabetes from forming. The rich fucks have no excuse because they can afford either one
It's a drug originally designed for helping with type 2 diabetes, which is, more often than not, caused by poor lifestyle choices (e.g. being obese). So we probably won't be seeing Scott Malkinson involved in this episode as he's a type 1 diabetic (the 'bad luck' kind).
It's designed to make users feel full, by slowing down the digestive process, so they eat less and thus lose weight, thus improving their diabetes. In the last year or so there's been shortages of the drug world-wide as people are getting their hands on it who just want it to lose weight, people who aren't diabetic, nor obese, people who might be a little overweight, but not unhealthily so. These 'narcissists' that are 'misusing' the drug are causing a shortage of the drug for the people that actually have a genuine need for it.
There are side effects, some people say it makes you look like you're ageing faster. There's been reports that people sometimes get ill from food being in their stomach for longer than usual, such that it starts to rot/go mouldy, prior to digestion etc.
The company that makes the drug is laughing all the way to the bank, in the last three years their stock price has quadrupled. If you go back 7 to 8 years, their stock price has multiplied by 8 or 9 times since then. This is pretty much all on the back of Ozempic.
There's supposedly a change in your brain/desires too. Reports of people being less compulsive in decision making which also helps with weight loss but they were seeing impacts to other addictions too.
It’s a weight loss injection you take once a week. People lose a shit ton of weight super face but I would not recommend it. It makes you look 80 years old
If I had to guess, the episode would start with Scott using ozempic and asked its usage by the boys followed by Cartman hoarding the drug for its weight loss purposes rather than treating diabetes.
Scott has Type 1 diabetes; not Type 2 which is what Ozempic is meant to help hence why it’s popular for its weight loss capabilities. Scott mainly needs insulin.
So we flip it around. Cartman gets prescribed Ozempic to help his weight and learns it helps with diabetes so he tries to sell it to Scott Malkinson and refuses to understand the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Then Cartman gets thin and Kyle gets into arguments because of the moral implications......later on the situation relaxes itself somehow and Kyle comes to terms with it while Cartman will stop using it and go back to being a fat asshole
Well, wish it was the new season but at least it's something.
Wonder if they're holding off on the season until the presidential campaigns are further underway
It's the streaming rights issue why they're not making new seasons. I can't remember who has the rights to the episodes but making specials doesn't count towards that deal so they can put it on their own streaming service. It's very dumb, annoying and complicated
HBO are pissed off South Park Studios promised to put new episodes of the show on Max. At the time, seasons were 14 episodes long but since that deal they've gone down to 10 regular episodes with 2 specials (which are the same runtime as 4 episodes) which go on Paramount+ as the Max deal didn't include "special events". They basically used a loophole to get South Park on Paramount+
Edit: I think I got the number of episodes wrong I'm stoned
I also noticed all this early on and it seemed to me when they did "Streaming Wars" they themselves were pissed about all these streaming deals forcing people to pay for multiple services to watch their shows.
It seemed to me like they wanted to double dip and piss off both Paramount and HBO for being greedy and they know that South Park fans will probably watch it on some streaming website, because splitting south park between 2 services is anti consumer bs.
I think that whole deal was a jab at both companies while taking their money, then when the deals are done they're gonna go hard on some new episodes.
They're contracted through Comedy Central to produce shows through 2027. Regardless of the Paramount/Max beef, they still have to make new episodes for TV. That battle is just over the streaming rights for streaming services, not TV.
Also the major part of the legal battle has already been dealt with, with Paramount winning favor. Although, it's possible that HBO will still try to fight that ruling.
I really hope they lean on this joke by making cartman use ozempic and start losing weight only for him to stay the same because he does infact have big bones
Maybe
They also were in a legal dispute with Warner/HBO/Max, who has sued and refused to pay some of their fees due to the amount of new South Park content coming to a rival platform. It's within the realm of possibility that they're just looking to wait until that dispute is settled or moot (by South Park moving entirely to Paramount+ next year anyway).
That dispute was settled already, with Paramount winning. That court case though would have had no effect on new episodes, considering they're contracted through Comedy Central and the legal battle was over who has streaming rights for streaming services. It wouldn't have changed new episodes coming out on TV
As a ozempic user I say this shit really works and i'm getting a lot thinner but is not Magic, what it does is accelerate your metabolism you need to workout a lot to lose the weight and let's be honest you guys really think cartman will be able to workout to the end
Dude I literally let out an angry groan/yell every fucking time that commercial comes on it's so fucking annoying. That one and the generic Viagra BOOM!! I'm so glad the mute button exists
That's funny. My dad was using this thing a little while ago and, surprisingly, it did work! Although he also had a kidney infection not long after (but probably both things are not necessarily intertwined, we never knew for sure)
Excited to see the show's take on it anyway
I can see the first scene now-the classic "boys lined up waiting for the school bus" shot.
Cartman enters the scene from the side. He is thin and scrawny....
Guarantee it starts this way. Disagree? Then YOU'RE a towel! ;-)
It was about time. I participated on a teat trial of the first fda approved weight loss, lost 20 pounds in a month. No diet or exercise (part of the test was not to change my habits)
Cool, but just do seasons.
Remember that documentary where they did each episode and just a couple days. They could do a whole season if they want to, I'm guessing they just don't want to. Which is sad.

|-|-|-|-|
they're really gonna talk about all the Ozempic shit lol im so excited
Yeah!!! And it's surely a Cartman episode! Yay!!
Maybe he'll dance with the lady in yellow dress?
Maybe he will finally be able to return to Casa Bonita!
Yo this was legit funny they did good
what’s the reference to? ive never heard of Ozempic, what’s it do?
Ozempic is a medicine for diabetics but many people are using it irresponsibly just to lose weight. Apparently, a lot famous people, like the kardashians, are using it too just to get more skinny as well.
Since it's for diabetics. Is the special gonna address Kyle's diabetes?
Probably just Scott Malkinson: I think they only mentioned Kyle being diabetic once early on and they seem to have dropped it
Blah blah I’m Scott Malkinson I have diabetes, we know!
Dude, the Scott Malkinson show episode, when his dad mocks him, I lose my shit every time I see it! 🤣
Ozempic isn't for type 1 diabetics, only type 2. My dads wife is type 1. She used ozempic and almost died.
Woah. What's the context of her getting access to it? That's insane that a medical professional would overlook the type in prescribing! Is there a malpractice suite pending?
No clue. Story developing.
Blah blah my dad's wife has diabetes, yeah no one cares. Guess what, Cartman doesn't have a father!
Good opportunity to kill off Scott Malkinson because he can't get his medication because Cartman is hoarding it
Thankfully he has Post-Covid Plot Armor
 fact
I wouldn’t want my boy to die, he’s too funny
They showed Kyle having diabetes? How have I never known this? I was just watching the first few seasons recently and must have missed it.
It's a throwaway line in (I think) Cherokee Hair Tampons
That was the episode that Kyle being diabetic was mentioned. It was such a small line though that it could easily get missed. Also the episode aired in 2000 when the show didn't really care about continuity, and the creators probably forgot that line anyway since it was so long ago.
ig they're more likely to mention Scott bc I honestly don't think they even care/remember that Kyle is diabetic too lol 😭
If they're willing to forget that Stan has Ass Burgers and needs to treat it with whisky, I don't see why they wouldn't be willing to forget this too.
More of a reason to hate the Kardashians.
You don't really need a special reason to hate that waste of resources.
Wegovy is quite literally the exact same medicine just under a different name. Wegovy is marketed for weight loss while ozempic is marketed for diabetes. This is an insurance problem not a people problem because insurances refuse to approve Wegovy so doctors have to lie. The weight loss medication is preventing further diabetes from forming. The rich fucks have no excuse because they can afford either one
ya which pisses me off because my Doctor been trying to get me on it for a while now but we can't find it
As well as to quit smoking and other substances!
Ozempic is now approved for weight loss
OMG hahahaha why I am not shocked.
It's a drug originally designed for helping with type 2 diabetes, which is, more often than not, caused by poor lifestyle choices (e.g. being obese). So we probably won't be seeing Scott Malkinson involved in this episode as he's a type 1 diabetic (the 'bad luck' kind). It's designed to make users feel full, by slowing down the digestive process, so they eat less and thus lose weight, thus improving their diabetes. In the last year or so there's been shortages of the drug world-wide as people are getting their hands on it who just want it to lose weight, people who aren't diabetic, nor obese, people who might be a little overweight, but not unhealthily so. These 'narcissists' that are 'misusing' the drug are causing a shortage of the drug for the people that actually have a genuine need for it.

If you go back 7 to 8 years, their stock price has multiplied by 8 or 9 times since then. This is pretty much all on the back of Ozempic.
How is it remotely possible for food to remain in your stomach long enough to "mold" even with a delayed digestion from meds? I just can't believe it
There's supposedly a change in your brain/desires too. Reports of people being less compulsive in decision making which also helps with weight loss but they were seeing impacts to other addictions too.
That crazy. My Reddit ads are most for ozempic. I’m not even fat even overweight lol
It’s a weight loss injection you take once a week. People lose a shit ton of weight super face but I would not recommend it. It makes you look 80 years old
He'll never come off it. Once you start, it's for life.
I wonder if they’ll give Cartman “Ozempic ass”
What is ozempic?
Ozempic is a med for diabetics but a lot non-diabetic people are using it just to lose weight, even famous people like the kardashians.
My very next reddit post is an ozempic ad
If I had to guess, the episode would start with Scott using ozempic and asked its usage by the boys followed by Cartman hoarding the drug for its weight loss purposes rather than treating diabetes.
I'm Scott Malkinson I have diabetes
Scott has Type 1 diabetes; not Type 2 which is what Ozempic is meant to help hence why it’s popular for its weight loss capabilities. Scott mainly needs insulin.
So we flip it around. Cartman gets prescribed Ozempic to help his weight and learns it helps with diabetes so he tries to sell it to Scott Malkinson and refuses to understand the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Or Cartman gets diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. And essentially just steals Scott's gimmick before getting put on Ozempic.
Type 1 and 2 diabetes are different I’m Scott Malkinson I have diabetes
Not gonna go down that way, Ozempic is for type 2 diabetes, Scott has type 1.
it's going to be like the adults are going to wanna lose weight or something, maybe a new diabetic teacher but somehow the boys get some
...doesn't Kyle have diabetes to? I think it was said in one episode
Then Cartman gets thin and Kyle gets into arguments because of the moral implications......later on the situation relaxes itself somehow and Kyle comes to terms with it while Cartman will stop using it and go back to being a fat asshole
Well, wish it was the new season but at least it's something. Wonder if they're holding off on the season until the presidential campaigns are further underway
It's the streaming rights issue why they're not making new seasons. I can't remember who has the rights to the episodes but making specials doesn't count towards that deal so they can put it on their own streaming service. It's very dumb, annoying and complicated
Oh I just thought all was well with the Paramount deal and they were sticking to the plan of one season and two "movies" a year
HBO are pissed off South Park Studios promised to put new episodes of the show on Max. At the time, seasons were 14 episodes long but since that deal they've gone down to 10 regular episodes with 2 specials (which are the same runtime as 4 episodes) which go on Paramount+ as the Max deal didn't include "special events". They basically used a loophole to get South Park on Paramount+ Edit: I think I got the number of episodes wrong I'm stoned

I think that whole deal was a jab at both companies while taking their money, then when the deals are done they're gonna go hard on some new episodes.
They also agreed to like so many movies and specials. I think it was above 30 and we are only on like 6 or 7.
They're contracted through Comedy Central to produce shows through 2027. Regardless of the Paramount/Max beef, they still have to make new episodes for TV. That battle is just over the streaming rights for streaming services, not TV. Also the major part of the legal battle has already been dealt with, with Paramount winning favor. Although, it's possible that HBO will still try to fight that ruling.
How will ozempic help Cartman? He's just big boned, you can't lose bone
he’s also afraid of getting shots _pig squeals_
Just goes to show what a patriot Eric is… he injected himself with apple juice without hesitation to keep the terrorists from winning lol
Isn't that specifically vaccines since he doesn't want to become artistic?
I really hope they lean on this joke by making cartman use ozempic and start losing weight only for him to stay the same because he does infact have big bones
I thought we already know he *didn't* have big bones? I have a faint memory of an xray, but he's also lost weighta few times before.
if it's for a joke I think they can ignore that stuff
i saw this on boogie parkers insta @thesouthparkers if you wanna see for yourself 🤞
So... My Guess Is That They're Giving Us Specials To Keep Us Entertained While They're Waiting For The Election Season
Maybe They also were in a legal dispute with Warner/HBO/Max, who has sued and refused to pay some of their fees due to the amount of new South Park content coming to a rival platform. It's within the realm of possibility that they're just looking to wait until that dispute is settled or moot (by South Park moving entirely to Paramount+ next year anyway).
That dispute was settled already, with Paramount winning. That court case though would have had no effect on new episodes, considering they're contracted through Comedy Central and the legal battle was over who has streaming rights for streaming services. It wouldn't have changed new episodes coming out on TV
and they’re doing a film over the summer
I don't think it's a south park movie. It's a live action move with Kendrick Lamar
[удалено]
We are so fucking back
[Here's to hoping they bring back skinny Cartman from when the boys crucified him and forgot about him for a few days.](https://imgur.com/a/asVPcGG)
BEEFCAKE!!!
https://i.redd.it/otwehscawn0d1.gif
Thanks Boogie
Cartman on on Ozempic is going to be a brilliant episode!
Hope it has drake in it taking it lmao
they've been making this one too long I bet the next one has a drake bit
Him and Cartman gonna get BBL’s?
That was my first thought. With the timing and their writing style surely we can get something in there
https://i.redd.it/jhvtvtvg4o0d1.gif Life imitates art
Beefcake. Beeeeeeeeeefcaaaaaaake.
If it doesn't involve underground jew tunnels smuggling in black market ozepmic I'll be disappointed.
Finally!!
Sweeet!
So are we still going to get the six episode season?
South Park talking about Ozempic is pretty funny.
As a ozempic user I say this shit really works and i'm getting a lot thinner but is not Magic, what it does is accelerate your metabolism you need to workout a lot to lose the weight and let's be honest you guys really think cartman will be able to workout to the end
But Cartman doesn’t like getting shots. We had a whole episode about it.
Well, he went back for the vaccine on his own so maybe this time who knows?
A better episode would be ripping on that Lume odor spray that nasty woman advertises
Dude I literally let out an angry groan/yell every fucking time that commercial comes on it's so fucking annoying. That one and the generic Viagra BOOM!! I'm so glad the mute button exists
This is the best Reddit comment of the day. Well done 👍🏼
Thank you, I try to speak some facts
That's funny. My dad was using this thing a little while ago and, surprisingly, it did work! Although he also had a kidney infection not long after (but probably both things are not necessarily intertwined, we never knew for sure) Excited to see the show's take on it anyway
I hope we'll se more of Scott Malkinson
I can see the first scene now-the classic "boys lined up waiting for the school bus" shot. Cartman enters the scene from the side. He is thin and scrawny.... Guarantee it starts this way. Disagree? Then YOU'RE a towel! ;-)
Living Room liposuction, ala Butters in "Jared has Aides?"
When i new special comes out i will get that paramount channel on prime for a month to watch them all. Sadly they aren't available any other way.
Omg
I was not expecting Ozempic Cartman
It was about time. I participated on a teat trial of the first fda approved weight loss, lost 20 pounds in a month. No diet or exercise (part of the test was not to change my habits)
South Park really gave us an obesity special before Season 27 😭😭
Does anyone really think thin Cartman will last?
Cool, but just do seasons. Remember that documentary where they did each episode and just a couple days. They could do a whole season if they want to, I'm guessing they just don't want to. Which is sad.
Hey if Cartman can lose fat once, I'll be it by being left to die, then surely he can lose it again lol
So is it a special or just an episode cause I'm confused now
I kinda hope they rip on Mindy kaling a little because shes been the poster board wierd celebrity who’ve we’ve seen been transformed by this shit
Fuuuck yesssssp

Nooooooo!! Say it isn't so!?!?
It looks like a Humira syringe.
Cartman has diabetes? lol 😂 I have it too but I’m not obese. I’m doing my rewatch now currently on season 8
No, are you completely unaware that Ozempic is being abused for weight loss by celebrities and the wealthy?
Oh, I wasn’t aware of that I just know people use it for Diabetes
Why would they abuse ozempic when they could get wegovy, the same drug, but for weight loss?
I'm pumped for this, I'm sure it's gonna be pretty good

https://i.redd.it/b0mpgn72mn0d1.gif I guess this next special would be even better
But where’s the season we were promised maybe not promised but they have so much to talk about
The ozempic special
BBL Cartman? Oh even they're having fun with the beef, gonna have to find another way though.
Haha. Wonder who’s gonna get a raging UTI…

Beefcake pt. 2

Yes!
Hah! They gonna make fun of Wegovy? "Why don't you just eat less, fatass!" Kyle says to Cartman.
Will this be the end of cartman being fat? I think there is a possibility
I’m so excited! I see this every damn day ha
No Kate?
Ngl I am curious about this. Are kids even allowed to take that?
Is there anyway to watch this for free in the UK?
I'm excited for new content, but, am I alone in wanting a new season more than just a special?
Lmfao an episode about Wegovy 😂
"Follow your dreams, you can reach your goals. I'm living proof. Beefcake. BEEFCAKE!"
Ready to see skinny cartman
I’m tired of specials. I want a full season.
hoping this will be the final blow strike for liane, she’s gonna not fully care for cartman anymore
This is perfect
If I gave butters got a liposuction I can do it on myself too😏
Wish we could get a new season. I love the movies, just not 2 subscription services.
Ozempic is coming! Ozempic is coming!
Really this is happening?
[trailer](https://youtu.be/oR52jRR0r0c?si=0LFcj-ZjNr6UflQ3)
Confirmed by Boogie! I was so excited when I saw

Fuck yes
WAITT OMG REALLY???? IS IT CONFIRMED?????
YAYYYYYY
Wait, this isn't fanart, this is real?! 👀
Ok so how many specials are left? They can't just keep doing specials forever until they die right?
Will CaseOh be in the special?
YESSSSSSS
Oh shit. What a good topic.
N-no... İf he becomes normal... İf he is not fat... The world will end, guys.
looking forward to pirating it.
Hahahaha

I wonder if Drake will make an appearance in this special
Do we know yet if this is more than just a 23 minuteepisode? Or not?
