Word on the street is that Comedy Central's hit animated series, South Park, is preparing to deliver a scathing roast of Prince Harry in their upcoming episode, set to air next week. Titled "Losers Day," the episode is expected to pull no punches in ridiculing Harry’s 40th birthday celebration, which some critics claim has become an embarrassment across the pond.
From what I’ve gathered, the episode begins with the boys questioning the significance of birthdays once you’re an adult. Cartman, ever the provocateur, declares that anyone celebrating turning 40 is a "mega loser" who doesn’t deserve any respect. The episode features a montage of Harry and Meghan’s cringe-worthy birthday preparations, complete with party hats, balloons, and invitations that read, "Join us to observe Harry's Very Important Day."
Stan pipes up, saying that 40 isn’t really that old, but he agrees that celebrating it with such extravagance is lame. The discussion quickly shifts to mocking Harry’s decision to leave his royal duties and become a celebrity couple in the U.S., with the boys suggesting he probably peaked before birth. This leads to a debate on whether Harry is the ultimate loser for squandering his royal birthright.
Cartman then hatches a plan to prank call Harry and put him in his place on his so-called big day. The boys crowd around Kyle’s phone as Cartman dials the number for Harry and Meghan’s California mansion. After a few rings, a familiar British voice answers with a nasal tone. Cartman immediately launches into a brutally honest message:
"Yo Harry, it’s Cartman. Just calling to say happy birthday, you mega loser. Must suck monkey balls to know the whole world is laughing at you now. I mean, who leaves royalty for this? Getting dominated by Meghan and fading into obscurity? Face it, dude, you blew it. Guess it’s easy to lose your way when your balls vanish into your body. Have fun sitting in the shadows for the rest of your sad life. What’s left of it anyway?"
The boys burst into hysterical laughter at Cartman’s harsh comments. Meanwhile, across the pond, a distraught Harry is seen sobbing into his glass of champagne, with Meghan offering a comforting shoulder. The scene ends with the credits rolling and Beck’s song "Loser" playing in the background.
The episode has already stirred controversy, with rumors of Harry and Meghan considering legal action for defamation. Sources at Comedy Central are reportedly unfazed, confident that the episode falls under parody protection. Privately, some insiders believe the Royals might prefer to avoid further embarrassment by staying silent.
South Park continues its tradition of delivering no-holds-barred commentary on current events, much to the dismay of celebrities frequently in its crosshairs. Fans are buzzing online with reactions ranging from shock and laughter to debates on whether South Park has crossed a line this time. The consensus seems to be that the show is right to skewer public figures, especially someone as openly sensitive as Harry.
From where I stand, South Park would be remiss not to lampoon Harry’s flamboyant 40th birthday bash, given his recent behavior. As Cartman said, who leaves a prestigious birthright for a mediocre Hollywood career and bows to every whim of a controlling spouse? No wonder the world is laughing now. Sometimes you’ve got to take your medicine, and this episode will surely be remembered as one of South Park’s most epic takedowns.
