The events of Streaming Wars Part 1 showed the town of South Park on the brink of disaster following a drought, leaving it up to the main characters Stan, Kyle, and Kenny to sort things out. The latest trailer shows Stan's father Randy going "full nuclear Karen" and fans of the show can't get over it.

While some Twitter users are loving Randy's character arc, others are just excited for the sequel finally coming out.

26 seasons and three specials later, South Park continues to remain a fan-favorite no-holds barred from social commentary, popular among teens and adults alike. It is as relevant to modern audiences today as it was when it first premiered on MTV in 1997.

South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 1 recap

The Streaming Wars original was announced in May and premiered on Paramount+ on June 1. It parodied competition among streaming services featuring a new service that had entered against Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, and others.

Streaming Wars Part 1 followed a large drought in the city of Denver caused by ManBearPig, that resulted in streams drying up and discussions about reinstituting water restrictions. However, Randy Marsh and Steve Black had water due to their elevation. They capitalized on their privileged position and started streaming water down for other residents.

Eventually, other residents began buying land near Randy and Steve so that they too could get a share of the benefits. Meanwhile, Cartman grew tired of living in a giant hot dog and tried to convince his mom to get breast implants to impress the rich man who bought land in front of them.

South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2 will be released exclusively on Paramount+ on July 13, 2022.
