South Park: The End of Obesity

I'm just taking your blood pressure, Eric.

It's too tight. Stop.

Ms. Cartman, I'm extremely worried

about your son's health.

His blood pressure, his cholesterol.

I think it's time for some drastic measures

to bring down his weight.

Oh, God, here we go with this shit again.

Doctor, we try to have Eric eat right and exercise,

but it just doesn't seem to work for him.

Well, there might be another answer.

Have you heard of semaglutides?

Semaglutides?

They're the active ingredient in Ozempic,

a drug originally made for people with diabetes

but we've now discovered

they can help obese people lose vast amounts of weight.

Really?

It's a whole new era of medicine.

A miracle, really.

Young man, how would you like to not be fat anymore?

Not be fat anymore?

Me?

Not fat anymore?

Hey, guys!

How's it going? Good to see you guys.

Hey, Wendy, you want to know something?

- What? - You're a dumb bitch.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

You're a dumb bitch and you got saggy tits.

Oh, yeah, Cartman? Well, you're a...

You're a...

Sweet!

Oh, hey. Hey, Kyle.

Kyle, guess what? You're a totally ugly ginger

and your religion is fucking bullshit.

Oh, yeah? Well, you're a...

You're a... uh... Damn it!

Yeah! Awesome!

Hey, hello there, Pakistan.

Your whole country is fucking dumb and it smells like ass.

Okay, Pakistan? Why don't you get your shit together?

Oh, yeah? Well, you are normal person!

You are... very average-looking.

Fuck yeah, dawg. This is fucking nice!

Wow. Could this really happen?

Doctor, is it really true I can not be fat?

It's really true, young man.

How much do these new drugs cost?

Well, they aren't cheap. It's about $1,200 a month.

Oh, I don't know if we can afford that.

Oh. All right.

Well, never mind, Eric. Have a good day.

Never mind?

You can't just tell me there's a new miracle drug

that'll make me not fat anymore, then say fucking "never mind"!

Insurance companies only cover the medication

for diabetes, not for weight loss.

So if you can't afford them, you're just kind of out of luck.

Doctor, please, I've been fat my whole life.

I hate how I look.

Please, there has to be something you can do.

All right.

I'm gonna write you a prescription for Lizzo.

- Lizzo? - She's a really good singer

who talks about body positivity and just being happy

with the way you look.

I want you to listen to Lizzo five times a day

and watch her videos just before bedtime.

Oh, and I'm afraid you'll have to be on Lizzo

for the rest of your life.

No! Lizzo, no!

Oh, my God!

A new weight-loss drug, one that's been described

- as a game changer... - Patients with obesity

lost up to 17.5% of their body weight...

The drug works by mimicking a naturally carried hormone

that is released from the gut...

Well, I'm going down to South Park

Gonna have myself a time...

One hot topic everyone in Hollywood

still seems to be talking about is Ozempic.

Yeah, I'm going down to South Park

Gonna leave my woes behind...

Obesity is a biological condition...

Are these new drugs a silver bullet for weight loss?

Heading on up to South Park

Gonna see if I can't unwind...

It will be the most lucrative drug ever made.

So come on down to South Park

And meet some friends of mine.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, where are you going?

I'm going to school.

Not looking like that you aren't.

Not looking like what?

We've talked about this, Shelley.

You don't go to school wearing shirts

that show off your body like that.

All the girls at school dress like this, Dad.

Mom already said it was okay.

- What? - It's really just the fashion now, Randy.

I don't care if it's the fashion,

I don't want my innocent little daughter

going to school dressed like a cum whore.

Go put on a different shirt.

No. I don't have to.

My body's not a distraction, it's perfect,

and you can't tell me what to do.

You're gonna get stared at all day.

Little boys are perverts.

Mom already said I could wear it!

Mom already said I could wear it!

You're stupid.

The school says girls can wear shirts like this

so I can do what I want!

Okay, cool, then maybe I'll just wear

whatever I want to school to come pick you up later!

Go ahead!

Ugh.

She's gonna be fine, Randy. She's just growing up.

Oh, she's gonna be fine?

Okay. Mark my words.

If you walk around wearing a shirt that exposes your belly,

you end up with a bad group of people

doing a bunch of drugs.

You'll see.

Randy was really upset, but I don't know,

I just don't see what the big deal is.

Do you let Wendy wear crop tops to school?

Yeah, sometimes.

I think it's fine when girls wear them.

What I can't stand is all the middle-aged moms

wearing them now 'cause they're all on Ozempic.

- Who's on Ozempic? - Oh, Butter's mom, Craig's mom.

A bunch of women use it to lose that last five pounds

and show off their stomachs.

Oh, hey, guys. How's it going?

Just getting some coffee?

Hi, Linda. You're, uh, looking good.

Oh, yeah, you know, just working out a lot,

doing Pilates and stuff.

Uh-huh, sure.

Kind of cold out, isn't it, Linda?

Oh, no, I'm not cold.

Not with all the running I'm doing lately

- to work on my core. - Hey, ladies.

Boy, it sure is chilly out this morning, huh?

Yeah, I sure hope summer comes soon.

Yeah, uh, we, uh, we got to get going.

We'll see you guys around.

Linda, you look really good.

Which obesity drugs are you taking?

Drugs? I-I'm not taking any drugs.

I'm just hiking and lifting weights.

Oh, Linda, you don't have to be shy with us.

I'm using Ozempic and Laura's using Mounjaro.

Come on, what are you on?

Oh, well, the truth is, Ozempic gave me the shits

so I switched to Zepbound.

Ooh, Zepbound's the same as Mounjaro,

but you don't have to have the diabetes to get it, right?

Yeah, I think Zepbound is the one Tweek's mom is doing.

Who had the half-caff venti chai latte?

Oh, that's me.

Listen, girls, we're doing the party

at my house this afternoon, okay?

- Okay, sounds good. - The-the party?

Yeah, you know, the obesity drugs are so hard to get,

all the girls meet up and share drugs and talk about them.

- You got to come. - Okay, I will.

Hey, Kyle.

Kyle, can you come talk to Eric for a minute?

He's really upset.

Cartman's upset? So what?

He's been crying all day and now he's just sitting

on the merry-go-round all by himself.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Okay, Cartman, obviously something's wrong.

I'm just fat.

And I'm always gonna be fat.

Is this a trick?

I'm just...

there's these new medications that can treat obesity,

but my mom can't afford them.

I'm-I'm just a poor, fat kid.

Poor little fat kid.

Okay, Cartman, if your doctor wants to put you on medication,

your insurance will pay for it.

No, they said the insurance won't pay for it 'cause, um,

they're kind of new drugs, and so the only people

that can get them are people who can pay 1,200 bucks a month

and the rest of us get this.

- What's this? - It's a prescription for Lizzo.

Rich people get Ozempic, poor people get body positivity.

They can't just give medication to rich people.

Well, that's what they're doing.

Well, did you talk to the insurance company?

Did you file a claim?

Let's go down there and talk to them.
