Meme star 67 Kid’s reaction to ‘South Park’ parody goes viral

The so-called ‘official 6-7 kid’ has reacted to South Park‘s take on the meme and racked up millions of views in the process.

In an episode titled Twisted Christian that aired on Wednesday (October 15), the show nodded to the seemingly nonsensical slang trend “67”, which originated with Skrilla’s track ‘Doot Doot (6-7)‘, in which he raps: “6-7, I just bipped right on the highway”.

Per Lad Bible, the song was later used in edits online of 6”7 NBA player, Lamelo Ball, and later trickled into Gen Alpha vernacular after being massively popularised through videos of the ‘6-7 kid’ shouting the number at mature basketball games.

The creator, who is now creating his own meme cryptocurrency, recently reacted to the new episode, sharing a clip shrieking the “6-7” as it played on the TV. The brief video, which you can watch below, is currently sitting on five million views.

In the episode, creators married the meme concept with billionaire tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel’s alleged obsession with the Antichrist.

Eric Cartman and the rest of the students at South Park Elementary become fixated on the trend, with the school growing so concerned about the “Satanic numerology” that they bring in an “expert on the end of days and the coming Antichrist” to deal with it.

That expert is revealed to be PayPal and Palantir co-founder Theil, who has, per The Independent, reportedly delivered a series of lectures in Silicon Valley espousing his views on the Antichrist and the potential for a coming Armageddon.

As noted by The Guardian, those attending the series of lectures about the supposed Antichrist were strictly off the record and all were forbidden from taking photos, videos or audio recordings.

In the South Park episode, Thiel’s character singles out Cartman, who is so amused by the “67” trend that he repeatedly vomits whenever it is mentioned. In a scene spoofing The Exorcist, he grows increasingly frustrated as he pleads with Cartman to: “Tell me what it means… You will tell me the significance!”

The episode is listed as episode season 28, episode one, rather than the sixth episode of season 27. It is not explained why the change was made, and the story continues many of the themes explored in season 27 episodes.

Recent episodes of the animated satire have made Donald Trump a target of many of its plotlines, portraying him as being in a relationship with Satan and also having a micro penis. The White House initially condemned Trump’s portrayal, remarking that the show “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years.” The show’s creators responded with a mocking apology at San Diego Comic Con in late July.

The show was also embroiled in controversy following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10. Many MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters argued that a previous episode of the show, where the character Eric Cartman parodies Kirk, fostered hostility toward conservatives and drew links to the murder. However, Kirk’s producer said the influencer “loved” that he was featured on the show.

Fellow long-running cartoon The Simpsons recently asserted that it would be avoiding politics for its new season, pointing to the difference in production times with South Park, who make their shows in the course of a week and are able to approach more timely topics.
