‘South Park’ Season 20 First Clips: The Town Creates a New National Anthem for Colin Kaepernick

The long-running Comedy Central animated series “South Park” gained notoriety last season when it adopted a serialized narrative using the topic of political correctness as a running theme. IndieWire’s own Ben Travers gave the series’ 19th season an “A” grade and said that it “reinforced its relevancy” after many years on the air. Now, “South Park” returns for its 20th season and has debuted its first two clips. The first plays on the Colin Kaepernick controversy by featuring the entire town of “South Park” singing a new mocking national anthem with lyrics like, “Colin Kaepernick is brave / Cops are pigs, cops are pigs / Wait, someone just took my stuff / I need to call the cops.” The second is a more traditional teaser featuring a census worker asking Randy Marsh who he will vote for in the upcoming presidential election.
