Ozempic, the weight loss drug that has taken over Hollywood this past year, is at the center of the newest “South Park” streaming special, now streaming on Paramount+.
In “South Park: The End of Obesity,” the weight loss drugs take the quiet mountain town of South Park by storm. When the overweight, foul-mouthed Eric Cartman is denied access to the medicine, he recruits Kyle, Stan, Butters and Kenny for help.
In the trailer, Cartman laments his size in the mirror while his friends run lab experiments in lab coats and goggles, preparing him to take the drugs. “We’ve been out navigating the American healthcare system,” says Butters. “I almost died!”
