South Park Season 27, Episode 3 “Sickofancy” Streams Today on Paramount + Amid Mixed Fan Reactions

**August 21, 2025 (Paramount + Streaming)** – Season 27 of South Park continues with its third episode, “Sickofancy.” You can watch it on Paramount + today at 6 a.m. ET/5 a.m. CT following its initial broadcast on Comedy Central last night.

In “Sickofancy,” Trey Parker and Matt Stone bring back Towelie. He goes on a wild journey through a heavily armed Washington, D.C. The talking towel’s deadpan “This seems like a perfect place for a towel” highlights the episode’s sharp satire of President Trump’s choice to send National Guard troops to the capital. Tanks roll past the White House, and soldiers patrol famous landmarks. The show also mocks tech giants like Apple’s Tim Cook and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg. It blends sharp political satire with playful caricatures.

Early audience reaction has been notably polarized./strong>. Some viewers praised “Sickofancy” for keeping South Park’s sharp political commentary. They enjoyed Towelie’s return. But others thought the episode didn’t meet the high standard set by the first two episodes of the season. Critics of Episode 3 say its satire is strong, but it lacks the unity of “Sermon on the Mount” and “Got a Nut,” which made them shine. A fan said that “no one is safe from being targeted,” but also felt the humor was often not as strong as in earlier episodes.

““South Park” keeps up its fast production pace. Scripts are written, voiced, and animated just days before airing. This lets the show respond quickly to current events. However, it has caused some schedule changes this season, like the one-week delay before Episode 3. Paramount+ subscribers can now stream “Sickofancy” on-demand. Cable viewers will catch a re-air later this week on Comedy Central.

Season 27 will stick to its bi-weekly rhythm. Look for Episode 4 on September 3, and Episode 5 on September 17.
