We lost our tegridy, and it was all by design. (“Space Jam 2 came out, and we all just kind of… gave up. Randy later comes clean to Stan about the origins of the coronavirus - complete with his back-alley pangolin sex, which I had finally purged from my brain - but he attempts to spin it into being China’s fault, all part of their plan to rob America of its tegridy. As for Sharon, she couldn’t handle her daughter’s death, so she shot herself. Apparently Stan’s parents wanted a divorce after the pandemic, and because the farm was a major source of their conflict, Stan decided to burn it down… unaware that Shelly was in the barn. Stan confronts Randy at the Shady Acres Retirement Community, but his dad isn’t exactly thrilled to see him, as he blames Stan for both Sharon and Shelly’s death. “It’s a general sense of shellfish-ness,” he says. There’s a pretty amazing moment where Clyde explains that he doesn’t want to get vaccinated because he’s allergic to shellfish, so if someone who makes the vaccines happened to have recently eaten shellfish, it would be bad. Kenny’s on-record cause of death is a new strain of the coronavirus called COVID Delta+ Rewards variant, and since one citizen in South Park is revealed to be unvaccinated (way to go, Clyde!), everyone is forced to quarantine within the town limits.

(Speaking of Cartman’s iconic look, turning his hat into a yarmulke was a stroke of genius.)īut the more everyone talks about Kenny, who apparently grew up to become a celebrated millionaire scientist, the more it starts to look like his death was no accident.
And can you blame him? He’s likely traumatized from all those years of antisemitic bullying at Cartman’s mitten-covered hands. All of the usual suspects descend upon South Park for Kenny’s funeral, including Cartman, whose apparent conversion to Judaism doesn’t sit well with Kyle.
