Cartman's Chaos in 'South Park: Diving into the Panderverse' Exclusive Look

The Big Picture

South Park's new streaming special, Joining the Panderverse, explores timely topics like AI and the multiverse, while taking aim at the House of Mouse in a hilarious clip.

In Cartman's nightmare, he and his friends are substituted by an amusing and varied bunch of women, united in their battle against the patriarchy. The special foreshadows an imminent change in the familiar way of life in South Park, as the characters urgently search for a solution and navigate the consequences of artificial intelligence on their existence.

Join us in South Park today for an exciting streaming event on Paramount+, "Joining the Panderverse." In celebration of its release, Paramount+ has shared a sneak peek clip that offers a glimpse of what's to come. This special episode delves into timely topics such as AI and the multiverse, with a specific focus on taking a humorous shot at the House of Mouse. In Cartman's unsettling dream, he and his friends are substituted by a diverse group of women determined to dismantle the patriarchy by any means necessary.

The clip begins with Cartman, now transformed into a Black woman, occupying his usual spot at the kitchen table. Engaging in an unproductive argument with his mother about staying home to play Baldur's Gate 3, he exhibits the familiar spoiled behavior that we've all come to know and enjoy. As they wait for the bus, Cartman stands alongside Stan, Kyle, and Kenny, who have also undergone transformations into diverse women. They engage in their typical conversations, except for two noticeable changes - Kenny's voice is no longer muffled, and they make a humorous jab at white men in relation to establishing the patriarchy. Before the dream can progress further, Cartman wakes up in terror, back to his usual self. He even requests his mother to check under the bed and in the closet for any Disney executives who might be intending to replace him. However, his most dreaded boogeyman is none other than Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm.

In a stroke of misfortune, Cartman may soon face his greatest fears turning into reality. South Park: Joining the Panderverse unveils an alarming prophecy about the impending end of life as he knows it in the tranquil mountain town, all through a series of disparate dreams. If the teaser unveiled earlier is any indication, nearly every child, from Cartman to Butters, will be displaced, setting them on a desperate race against time to seek a resolution. Meanwhile, the adult inhabitants of South Park have had their fill of artificial intelligence wreaking havoc on their lives, creating a tumultuous situation where they must grapple with the consequences of their choices that have disrupted everything.
