After an episode featuring naughty ninjas, the upcoming "South Park" episode will delve into Jimmy's visit to the principal's office.
Jimmy, as well as Nathan, earned an invitation to the said room "for using an inappropriate word in the school paper," Yibada noted. As such, Jimmy appears to be set to be at loggerheads with the PC Principal and his ideology.
Episode 8 of the 19th season of the hit animated series is titled "Sponsored Content," and "will see PC Principal getting tough competition from Jimmy."
The episode's title is said to be the show creators' way of commenting about the practices of companies and digital publishers who collaborate to "'subtly' promote their products and services using articles, blog posts and videos."
In the previous episode, the creators appeared to touch on the subject of police phobia, as South Park citizens decided to rid their town of cops. This had Entertainment Weekly speculating that the plot might be an allusion to Quentin Tarantino's back-and-forths with the police force after the director was seen joining a demonstration against police violence in October.
The previous episode also appeared to touch on ISIS as the boys playing Ninja Warriors got the attention of a "foreign terrorist organization," as noted by Franchise Herald.
Looks like the creators are staying true to their habit of making current events references in "South Park." The 19th season is no different.
"South Park has had an usually serialized 19th season, skewering various aspects of political correctness and gentrification," EW pointed out. "This marks the long-running animated comedy's best season in a decade."
The coming episode, according to the show's official press release, will still "be available in HD exclusively on Hulu and South Park Studios the day after they premiere."
"Fans will have next-day access to new episodes, as well as the entire "South Park" library with their Hulu subscription," the statement went on. "New episodes and a selection of curated episodes will be available to stream on the free, ad-supported Hulu.com, SouthPark.cc.com, cc.com and the Comedy Central App."
The series, which began 18 years ago in 1997, continues to sail forth after nearly decades on air. However, despite the show's ample following, it will be bound to end at some point. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, however, reassured fans it will be a while before that happens as they have signed up for two more seasons, which will go through 2016. But that's not to say they haven't thought about the ending yet.
"I think it's going to end with a fizzle, for sure," Parker told IGN. "I think it's just going to end with some dud, and we're gonna go, 'F*** this, man,' and walk away."
"We're like, 'Okay, well, they're going to cancel us, for sure!' We've been waiting to get canceled for 18 f***ing years," he added.
