South Park Season 29 Brings the Beef — Literally

South Park's not done cooking up chaos. In the Season 29 closer, the show pivots to a beef shortage (yes, actual beef) when South America's supply gets locked down tight. Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Randy aren't about to let their favorite protein get snatched away from the mountain town without throwing hands — or at least a whole lot of animated mayhem.

The episode, "Guinea Pig on a Stick," leans into the absurdity that made the show essential in the first place: taking something mundane, turning it up to 11, and letting the crew's ridiculous schemes play out. It's peak South Park energy — local food crisis becomes international standoff because these characters simply refuse to lose their lunch.

With the series still finding ways to riff on real-world tension through its trademark lens of stupidity and heart, this one's a reminder why the show's stayed relevant this long. Comedy that works on multiple levels, set in a town where nothing's too weird and everything eventually blows up.

Check the full breakdown for all the beef-related drama.
