South Park Season 27 Features Towelie Visiting Militarized Washington D.C.

South Park's Season 27 continues its satirical focus on President Donald Trump's administration, with Episode 3, titled "Sickofancy," featuring the return of fan-favorite character Towelie. The episode showcases a militarized Washington, D.C., reflecting the real-life deployment of 800 National Guard troops ordered by President Trump to address crime and homelessness, despite statistics showing a 30-year low in violent crime. In the trailer, Towelie arrives in the heavily guarded capital and remarks, "This seems like the perfect place for a towel," underscoring the show's sharp commentary on the current administration's actions. Previous episodes of the season have also targeted key figures such as Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who publicly criticized the show's portrayal. The series has seen increased viewership this season, with recent episodes drawing record ratings since 2018, demonstrating the show's continuing influence and willingness to confront political issues head-on. "Sickofancy" aired on August 20 on Comedy Central and streamed the following day on Paramount+.
