“South Park” released a new clip teasing Wednesday night’s episode that features the return of a fan-favorite character as the show appears set to continue trolling President Donald Trump.
The clip shows Towelie ― a sentient towel who loves to get high ― arriving by bus in Washington, D.C., to find the city under military control.
“This seems like the perfect place for a towel,” Towelie says as he watches a tank roll past the White House ― mimicking the real-life situation in which Trump has sent the National Guard into the city.
Trump has claimed the military is needed to bring order to a city besieged by crime. However, the violent crime rate there dropped in both 2024 and 2025, leading critics to blast the move as a “stunt.”
“South Park” has pulled a few stunts of its own since the show returned last month, mocking corporate parent Paramount for caving to Trump by agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit over “60 Minutes” that most legal observers considered frivolous.
