The popular television series "The Simpsons" is known for its uncanny capacity to allegedly predict future events. Its contemporary counterpart, "South Park," has carved out a niche for itself through its satirical commentary on current affairs. The recent "South Park: The End Of Obesity" episode humorously delved into the rise of the weight loss medication Ozempic and the body positivity movement spearheaded by Lizzo, which grabbed viewer attention.
Lizzo’s Reaction to South Park
On May 25, singer Lizzo posted a candid reaction video on Instagram, sharing her feelings on her reference in the "South Park" episode. She candidly expressed her initial apprehension, stating, "My worst fear has been actualized. I’ve been referenced in a ‘South Park’ episode. I’m so scared".
The Episode Mentioning Lizzo
In the episode Lizzo referred to, two main characters’ mothers, Sheila Broflovski and Sharon Marsh, are seen discussing Sheila’s past struggles with weight. In the narrative, Sheila chooses a diet suppressant named "Lizzo" over two real-world options – Ozempic and Mounjaro. Contrary to the expected, those using "Lizzo" presumably lose their interest in working out or caring about others’ viewpoints.
Lizzo’s Take on the Reference
Amused and astonished, Lizzo said, "That’s crazy…’Damn. I’m really that btch.’ I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a fck to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f*ck I am. And put it on their cartoon, that’s been around for twenty-five years". She capped her video by playfully singing out the episode’s faux advertisement tune.
The full reaction video is available for viewing, which provides a refreshing glimpse into Lizzo’s candid reactions and thoughts.
