“tomorrow’s south park episode is about… prediction markets????”
Cartman led at 87% odds, followed by Butters at 74%, Kyle at 73%, and Stan at 70%. Other characters, including Randy, Kenny, and even Trump and Satan, received lower probabilities.
References to Trump appear at 40% probability, with various market terminology ranging from 13% to 68% odds.
The $13,200 pool heavily favored “no” at 70.4% odds versus 29.6% for “yes,” with strict resolution terms requiring exact name mentions rather than parodies or generic references.
This marks South Park’s latest engagement with financial technology themes.
The series previously addressed cryptocurrency in multiple episodes, including the 2021 “Post COVID” special, which depicted Bitcoin as the primary payment method of the future, with characters referring to it as “fly-by-night Ponzi schemes.”
The show also satirized NFTs extensively in “Post COVID: The Return of COVID,” featuring Butters as an obsessed NFT dealer.
In another episode, the show mocked Matt Damon’s Crypto.com advertisements in early 2022.
