South Park has perfectly captured the insanity of the crypto investment community in a new special
Popular adult animated sitcom South Park ruthlessly ridiculed crypto, non-fungible tokens and the wider investment community with chilling precision in an exclusive news special posted on Paramount + earlier today.
In an epic scene that went viral on crypto Twitter, adult Kyle and Stan stand with a firefighter in front of a burned-out building with dead people in it that the latter describes as “complete murder, carnage.”
The firefighter says a guy in a suit showed up to present investment opportunities and people started chanting “hodl”. He remembers that NFTs started working and their owners started accusing other people of right-clicking on them. Then people ended up fighting each other over push-ups and dumps, “FOMO” and “flipping” calls. The guy in the suit, of course, “waltzed like nothing had happened.”
The firefighter says that he escaped the carnage unscathed because of an NFT of a “miniature donkey with a lit-up sombrero” before his partner started shilling a new investment opportunity: a picture of a small turtle with wings.
Another scene from the special shows Butters, aka Victor Chaos, desperately trying to pitch his bizarre NFT drop, which includes an “apple bee” with a hat and a mustache, to a group of bewildered investors.
In August, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, signed a $900 million deal with ViacomCBS INC to renew the series for four more years and release 14 original films by 2027 on Paramount+.
