Director: Trey Parker
A miracle weight-loss injection sweeps through South Park, and the one kid denied a prescription decides he isn't going to take no for an answer.
What is South Park: The End of Obesity about?
This 2024 South Park special drops the whole town into a frenzy the moment a new pharmaceutical promises to melt away pounds overnight. Adults line up outside the clinic, parents reorganize their entire lives around the drug, and the show's usual cast of oblivious grown-ups treats the shot like a religious sacrament. Cartman, naturally, wants in immediately, but when the prescription gets denied he drags Kenny, Stan, and Kyle into a scheme to get access by any means necessary. Along the way the special skewers pharmaceutical marketing, wellness culture, and the ease with which an entire community will reorganize its values around the newest miracle cure, all filtered through the boys' escalating, increasingly absurd plan.
Cast & crew
Trey Parker and Matt Stone once again voice the bulk of the cast, including Cartman, Stan, and several of the adult townsfolk, with longtime South Park regulars April Stewart, Mona Marshall, and Jennifer Howell rounding out the ensemble across multiple roles, as is standard for the series.
Context & significance
Released in 2024, the special arrived as GLP-1 weight-loss drugs became a dominant topic in real-world pop culture, and South Park built an entire hour-plus around that specific moment, continuing its long pattern of turning that week's headlines into animated satire within days of the news cycle. The runtime is roughly fifty minutes, longer than a standard episode, giving the writers room to stretch the premise from a quick gag into a full plot with an actual beginning, middle, and escalating finale.
Where & how to watch
The special streams on K-Time with a free account login, and the Persian dub and Farsi subtitles make the episode's rapid-fire dialogue easy to follow for Farsi-speaking viewers who want the jokes to land without missing a beat. The K-Time interface itself runs in Farsi, so browsing, searching, and queuing up the next South Park special all happen in a familiar language from start to finish.
