South Park Season 27 has returned with Episode 6… or, some might say, Episode ‘6-7’. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone highlight the bizarre trend in the latest chapter, while taking shots at billionaire Peter Thiel’s alleged obsession with the Antichrist.
Never one to hold back, South Park’s new season has ripped into anyone and anything so far, from president Donald Trump and FCC chair Brendan Carr to Labubus and ChatGPT. A key thread throughout all of this has been Trump’s relationship with Satan himself.
After impregnating the devil with his butt baby, the POTUS spent much of Season 27 Episode 5 trying to get rid of his unborn child, to no avail. In short, the Antichrist is coming, sparking theories that Damien might make his return.
We’ll have to wait to find out, as Episode 6, ‘Twisted Christian’, ends on a cliffhanger. In the meantime, viewers have been left wondering exactly what ‘6-7’ means after South Park Elementary kids fixated on the viral trend.
What does 6-7 mean?
In South Park Season 27 Episode 6, Cartman and co. become obsessed with saying “six, seven,” reflecting a real-life viral slang term that’s left many adults scratching their heads.
Much like other absurd Gen Alpha memes, ‘6-7’ doesn’t have a fixed meaning – it’s a nonsense phrase that spread online earlier this year, used by teens and tweens as a kind of inside joke or chaotic catchphrase.
The term originated from rapper Skrilla’s song ‘Doot Doot (6 7)’, where the lyric “six seven” was used in meme edits. The track gained traction on TikTok and YouTube, often paired with clips of basketball player LaMelo Ball, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall.
From there, ‘6-7’ evolved into a stand-alone meme, one that didn’t need context or explanation to be funny to kids.
Some adults have attempted to explain it, with one belief being that it means “so-so” as it’s often used with an up-and-down hand motion (as is shown in South Park). But ultimately, it doesn’t actually mean anything specific.
It’s brainrot humor, making it perfect South Park fodder. In Season 27 Episode 6, the kids fixate on the term, using it in the same way tweens do in real life. But, of course, Cartman takes it to the next level, causing him to laugh so much that he starts projectile vomiting.
Meanwhile, tech guru Peter Thiel starts surveilling South Park residents using AI, where he picks up on the ‘6-7’ patterns – and he links it to the Antichrist. To truly understand what the numbers mean, he calls up JD Vance, who grants him access to “every government database”.
Later, Thiel narrows it down to Cartman, who seems “more possessed than the others” when it comes to the numbers. This paves the way for the ultimate Exorcist parody, with Cartman projectile vomiting every time he hears the phrase.
Is Peter Thiel really obsessed with Antichrist?
In real life, there’s no proof that Thiel is literally hunting the Antichrist. But he has publicly expressed elaborate, apocalyptic ideas about a potential “Antichrist” figure in the US and warned that Armageddon is coming.
For the uninitiated, Thiel is a billionaire entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and political influencer. He co-founded PayPal, was the first outside investor in Facebook, and later co-founded big data analyst firm Palantir Technologies.
He also invests via Founders Fund and sits in roles across several multi-sector tech ventures. According to Forbes, his net worth is approximately $26.3 billion right now, making him the 83rd richest person in the world.
As reported by the Guardian, over the past month, he’s hosted a series of lectures in which he theorized that the end times could be approaching, and “things such as international agencies, environmentalism, and guardrails on technology could quicken its rise”.
Thiel said (as transcribed from recordings provided to the outlet by an attendant), “A basic definition of the antichrist: some people think of it as a type of very bad person. Sometimes it’s used more generally as a spiritual descriptor of the forces of evil.
“What I will focus on is the most common and most dramatic interpretation of antichrist: an evil king or tyrant or anti-messiah who appears in the end times.” His lectures also speculated on antichrist type figures, citing Greta Thunberg.
However, he later said (as quoted by the Guardian), “One of the ways these things always get reported is, I denounce Greta as an antichrist. And I want to be very clear: Greta is, I mean she’s maybe sort of a type or a shadow of an antichrist of a sort that would be tempting.
“But I don’t want to flatter her too much. So with Greta, you shouldn’t take her as the antichrist for sure. With AOC, you can choose whether or not you want to believe this disclaimer that I just gave.”
Parker and Stone took the opportunity to parody his comments in Season 27 Episode 6, while also taking shots at the ‘6-7’ trend and the evolution of Christianity in the US. It ends with a cliffhanger, with Cartman’s position as the potential antichrist antidote hanging in the balance.
