Despite South Park not having a new season out on Comedy Central, the satirical animated series is still taking shots at society with Paramount+ via one-off episodes. For example, South Park: Joining the Panderverse poked fun at Disney and other studios that struggle with meaningful diverse representation. While past specials had Randy Marsh addressing corporate America and exploitation via his weed business, Tegridy Farms.To close off 2023, another special was released in the form of South Park (Not Suitable For Children). In this case, the special examines the impact of influencers and consumer culture on young people. The South Park special particularly targets the lack of authenticity influencers promote, and how easily the public is manipulated into buying into trends as a way of obtaining social currency.Most of the children make fun of those who don’t have access to CRED, making them feel they’re not legit. It once more plays on that obsession and the trope where high schoolers look down condescendingly on those who don’t have certain things in their lives. Coincidentally, many critics have lashed out at influencers such as Logan Paul for using trends (e.g. fitness) to keep perpetuating a sense of elitism, which has led to bullying. That’s exactly what happens when Cartman, Butters and their own clique harass the minorities who don’t drink CRED. It is driven by the many ads these kids are flooded with, which depict the fictional Logan LeDouche.
