Lizzo’s Iconic Reaction to ‘South Park’ Cameo Has Us Bowing Down
The queen of self-love and body positivity, Lizzo, found herself thrust into the spotlight once again – but this time, it was courtesy of the irreverent animated series, South Park. In a blind reaction video shared on TikTok, the Grammy-winning artist expressed a mix of shock and excitement upon learning that the show had not only name-dropped her but also parodied her as a weight-loss drug.
In the recent South Park special, “The End of Obesity,” the ever-controversial Cartman embarks on a quest for a miracle weight-loss solution. His doctor prescribes him a medication called “Lizzo,” presented as an album that promises to help users “feel good about their weight.” The satirical commercial for the “drug” boasts that 70% of those who took it “no longer cared how much they weighed,” while warning of potential side effects like pancreatitis and, quite literally, “excreting out your ears.”
As Lizzo watched the scene unfold, her eyes widened in disbelief, her hand covering her mouth in a priceless expression of awe. “That’s crazy. I just feel like, damn, I’m really that b—-,” she exclaimed, her infectious laughter filling the air. “I really show the world how to love yourself and not give a f— to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f— I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years.”
And that, my dear readers, is the essence of Lizzo – a force of nature who has transcended the boundaries of music to become a cultural icon, a beacon of self-acceptance, and a symbol of empowerment for millions around the world. With her unapologetic confidence and unwavering commitment to spreading the gospel of self-love, it’s no wonder that even the irreverent minds behind South Park couldn’t resist paying homage to her influence.
In a world that often glorifies unrealistic beauty standards and perpetuates harmful narratives about body image, Lizzo’s messaging has been a breath of fresh air. Her music, her performances, and her very presence challenge societal norms and encourage people to embrace their authentic selves, flaws and all.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual observer, there’s no denying the cultural impact of Lizzo’s “Lizzo-ness.” Her reaction to the South Park cameo is a testament to her enduring relevance and the power of her message. As she so eloquently put it, “I really show the world how to love yourself and not give a f—,” and for that, we bow down.
