South Park has a history of mocking just about anything and everything in popular culture. And the latest episode, titled “(NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN)”, takes aim at Prime Hydration. The super popular sports drink – created and promoted by influencers KSI and Logan Paul – has been a smash hit with kids all over the world. So it’s no surprise that it has finally caught the attention of Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Paramount+ announced on 20 December that the latest South Park special is now available to stream. In the episode, a teacher at South Park Elementary is discovered to have an OnlyFans page. This prompts Randy Marsh to investigate the world of online influencers.

To promote the episode, South Park has created a number of adverts parodying Prime Hydration with a made up drink called “Cred”. Its packaging features the same bright colours and bold font, and it appears Cred fever will sweep the titular Colorado town in much the same way as its real-world counterpart.

Fans have already spotted numerous adverts for the episode featuring Cred and shared them online. X user @PrabhhSingh posted “South Park x Prime?” along with a picture of a Cred ad featuring characters Kyle and Kenny. It states “HEY KIDS! GET CRED!”

Other Cred “adverts” reportedly feature beloved South Park characters Butters and Cartman. Their ads state “Wanna get the girls? You need CRED” and “Do other kids think your sports drink is stupid? Get CRED” respectively.

Most notably, “(NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN)” will also directly mock influencer/professional wrestler Logan Paul in a promotional vlog for Cred. The episode features an influencer with a resemblance to Paul named “LoganLeDouche”.

In the vlog, watched by character Clyde, LoganLeDouche promotes Cred and describes it as “the coolest sports drink in the world!” He goes on to say that Cred is “100% sugar free” while tipping it on his face, claims it “has electrolytes so you can ride your bike” and “has more vitamin A than your body can possibly ever use.”

As the vlog ends, LoganLeDouche yells “Drink Cred or you’re a piece of s**t!”

South Park “(NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN)” is available to stream now on Paramount+.
