South Park is an American animated sitcom, which is synonymous with satire.
Through its many episodes, the series have skewered everything from American politics and celebrity culture to religion and social trends, often with hilarious and outrageous results.
The series revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick—and their many recurring characters are infamous for their profanity and dark, surreal humor.
And this time, South Park is having another go.
This time, it takes aim at OnlyFans influencers, as well as the bigger issues caused by social media which is often directed at children.
South Park: Not Suitable for Children follows the series' favorite characters, and make fun of hydration CRED drink, which rips into Logan Paul and KSI’s Prime drink.
This happened when Clyde watches a video of his favorite influencer, Logan LeDouche, trying to boost his confidence, but Logan just kept promoting CRED, which annoyed Clyde.
Logan LeDouche bears an unmistakable resemblance to Logan Paul.
"The most important thing is just to be yourself. When I feel like I can’t be myself, that’s when I need a hydration drink that’ll pick me up. That’s when I need Cred!" the online influencer said.
At the end of the advert, a voiceover urges consumers to "drink Cred at your school today," before adding that it’s "not intended for children."
This makes fun of social media influencers in general.
Then, it's discovered that a teacher at South Park Elementary has been discovered posting videos on OnlyFans.
Randy Marsh is shown making OnlyFans videos by posing himself naked from the waist down, but Sharon disapproves. When he fails to gain followers, Sharon challenges that she can make a better OnlyFans page than Randy, in which she succeeded by making a basic pornographic page.
When the two enter an escalating battle for subscribers, Randy calls OnlyFans support for tips to make his page better, he is also told to add trending topics to his channel.
Then, after he starts using Cred in his videos, he begins getting subscribers.
Because Randy is compelled to take a closer look at the underbelly of the world of online influencers, and visits an influencer agency.
Then, the agent sends Randy to join other influencers where influence is auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Because this drives Randy down to a dark path towards marketing to minors, during the auction, members of the FBI arrest Randy.
This literally makes fun of both social media, and OnlyFans stars in particular.
South Park: Not Suitable for Children is a special episode that clearly satirizes the world’s obsession with social media, and how people are watching and following influencers, desperately wanting to be them.
So while some celebrities and popular figures have criticized and condemned the TV show since it began in 1997, others have seen it as a rite of passage.
With South Park: Not Suitable for Children, creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have done it again, according to South Park fans.
The thing about South Park is that, just like the series The Simpsons have been memed for somehow predicting the future, South Park's influence is that if its episode starts mocking something, then that something must have at least made some kind of impact on the society.
So at times South Park tries to criticize the society, some become annoyed, and others become happy for being indirectly mentioned.
In this case, porn star Lena the Plug has boasted about being mocked in South Park's latest OnlyFans special.
"Being included in a South Park episode has to be my biggest flex to date," she said.
Because the episode mocked the reactions surrounding OnlyFans, the online subscription service used by many adult content creators, which include Lena, the episode wouldn't be complete without a mentioning the 32-year-old porn star.
The first notable mention is that, the episode of the sitcom also teased how Lena and her husband went viral for indulging in a live threesome with 'OnlyFans teacher' Brianna Coppage, who famously quit her job to focus on making money through her raunchy content.
She explained how she was "outed," and said that "I did an orgy scene with a couple of my close creator friends."
"My face was blurred on Twitter, my husband's was not. So that was probably part of it - someone definitely recognized."
Regardless, Brianna once shared that there are "a lot" of teachers before her who create content on OnlyFans.
"I would say I've received like 10% negativity. 90% are just saying, 'Leave her alone. She's allowed to have a private life.'"
Adam supported Brianna by saying that "Teachers should be allowed to have an OnlyFans."
"But then as soon as you start talking about the orgy, I just don't think the kids are going to be able to contain themselves when they know their teacher is doing an orgy."

Then, Adam also allowed Lena, his wife, to sleep with man.
Adam gave his approval to Jason Luv, also a fellow porn star, to have sex with Lena, on camera.
Due to how large Luv's penis was, Lena was left in pain for "three to four" days after sleeping with Jason.
But she said that engaging in sexual intercourse with another man actually improved her own love life with her husband, saying that she and Adam are having even more sex than ever.
Lena believes that it happens because Adam, as a man, wanted to "assert his dominance."
And knowing that Adam is watching her performance with another man also turns her on.
Lena even said that "every time" she and Adam talk about the scene, their libido just shoots up and leads to the two having sex.
Lena having sex with another man followed the threesome scene the couple had.
Adam claimed that it takes a "real man" to let his wife sleep with another man.
"She’s watched me sleep with hundreds of girls and it’s never affected our relationship. Sleeping with that gentleman has been amazing for both her career and our business @plugtalkshow!" Adam22 said.
"Overall I’m glad we did it and I’m happy to report her vagina has returned to its original pre-BBC size."
In the end, the video in question has helped the couple earn a substantial amount of money, which Adam self-claimed to be at around 7 figures, or in millions of dollars.
Then, there is also the case where teacher-turned-OnlyFans-creator-Allie Dawson received a letter from the education commission, which stated that a vote had been made with a recommendation that the 29-year-old get a "reprimand" for the explicit content shared online.
The document also stated that an "anonymous email" had been sent to the principal regarding Dawson's posting photos of herself in lingerie, among other claims.
It's no surprise that the sitcom decided to feature these cases in its naughty special.
The special's naughty turn, has led to the episode become uncomfortably close to the real life world of online influencing. The episode is also a tongue-in-cheek reference to the stories of teachers living double lives as both educators and OnlyFans creators, and who have been pressured to quit when their profiles were discovered.
So of course, the episode quickly garnered criticisms.
But many others praised for how he show really show its likeliness to the real world of influencing - and the how online platforms specifically target children.
Others praised the special's realistic portrayal, despite the many cartoon penises they saw.
"Spoiler It's pretty much all penises," one viewer watched.
"Dudes just casually walking around with his junk out the whole episode LMAO," another viewer said.
"Wow. They gave us the warning at the beginning of the special, but I was not expecting it to be out for pretty much the entire episode. Fun time overall, I'd say," agreed another.
"This episode has alot to say about OF and immoral content being pushed to kids to influence them," commented another.
The episode was based around the parents’ concern after a certain teacher’s online presence is discovered, which is apparently 'not suitable for children,' as well the general influencer culture.
"After it’s discovered that a teacher at South Park Elementary has an OnlyFans page, Randy is compelled to take a closer look at the seedy underbelly of the world of on-line influencers," the official synopsis for the special, steaming on Paramount+, reads.
Parker and Stone do what they do best, and said that they're no stranger to lawsuits.
The pair once opened up on the controversial history of the show, with much of their work leading to legal action.
They're also not frightened by them.
That being said, South Park: Not Suitable for Children is far from the worst content children can access on the web.
But like usual, South Park wants to point out what's happening, and that in this case, explaining the immense effect of social media to youngsters, and how content creators sell their content to brands so they can advertise.
Long story short, influencers surreptitiously target their audiences and exploit them for profit.
