Fact check: In an Episode of South Park, Mr. Garrison literally fucked the Prime Minister of Canada to death.

Checked on January 3, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The claim appears to be partially accurate but contains a minor error. Multiple sources confirm that in the South Park episode "Where My Country Gone?", Mr. Garrison does sexually assault and kill the Canadian President (not Prime Minister) [1] [2]. The scene occurs after Garrison infiltrates Canada, which is depicted as a "deserted wasteland" at this point in the episode [2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements are worth noting:

  • Some sources discuss different episodes focusing on Mr. Garrison's character development, including his gender transition storyline [3] [4], suggesting this particular episode is part of a larger character arc
  • The episode appears to be set in a dystopian version of Canada [2], which provides important context for understanding the scene's placement in the broader narrative
  • While some sources provide detailed confirmation of the event [1] [2], others either don't mention it or focus on different aspects of Mr. Garrison's character development [3] [4] [5]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

There are two key inaccuracies in the original statement:

  • The title used is incorrect: the victim is referred to as the "President" of Canada in the sources [1] [2], not the Prime Minister as stated in the original claim
  • The use of the word "literally" in the original statement might be misleading, as this occurs in an animated television show, not a real event

It's worth noting that South Park is known for its controversial and satirical content, and this scene likely serves a broader satirical purpose within the episode's narrative context, rather than being merely gratuitous violence.
