South Park is at it again with Season 28, Episode 3, Sora Not Sorry, which dropped November 12, 2025, on Comedy Central.

The show is still roasting society with its no-chill satire. This time, Butters gets his hands on an AI video generator called Sora 2. The kid wants revenge, so he starts making fake videos. Except it totally blows up in his face. Suddenly, South Park Elementary is flooded with deepfakes. Nobody, not the kids, not the adults, has a clue what is real anymore.

This episode goes straight into the deepfake mess everyone has been freaking out about lately. You have the South Park cops running around, totally lost in a sea of bogus videos, especially Detective Harris, who can’t tell what is real and what is just some AI trickery.

It is spot-on the timing, considering all the noise about misinformation and tech gone rogue these days. Sora Not Sorry throws in some classic political digs, all wrapped up in that ridiculous South Park humor.

What is South Park episode Sora Not Sorry about?

The episode Sora Not Sorry starts with Butters and Red at each other’s throats, seriously, not just some petty squabble. They are both mad enough to do something truly unhinged, so they grab an AI video generator called Sora 2 and start churning out revenge porn starring themselves and random cartoon characters doing, well, stuff.

What was supposed to be some sneaky, private payback blows up in their faces big time. Before you know it, the whole school and basically everyone in South Park have seen these fake videos, and the chaos just snowballs from there.

So the cops roll up, totally clueless as usual. These AI-deepfake videos are so next-level that even the police can’t tell what is legit and what is just pure nonsense. They end up thinking the cartoon characters are real-life creeps. Pretty soon, fake clips are everywhere, and the whole town loses its mind, as nobody knows what is true anymore.

Meanwhile, Detective Harris is totally overwhelmed by the situation. The poor guy is basically living in one bad dream, and who could blame him? Deepfakes are making everyone in town lose their minds. Nobody trusts a single video clip or news update. It is like reality has gone out for a smoke and left us all in the Twilight Zone.

On the other hand, there is a whole side mess going on: Peter Thiel, the billionaire guy, has Eric Cartman stashed away in Washington because “Antichrist is coming”. Thiel starts making creepy videos as pure psychological warfare just to mess with Cartman and freak out his mom. Cops finally figure out the videos, plus a bunch of scandalous clips, are total AI fabrications sitting on Thiel’s computer. So they bust him, let Cartman loose, and that is that.

Thiel’s laptop had a wild video of Donald Trump and JD Vance in the Lincoln Bedroom. Trump attempts to claim the whole thing is some AI deepfake, hoping people will buy it. Behind the scenes, though, Trump and Vance are up to even sketchier stuff, plotting to take down Satan and his demon baby.

By the end, things take a hard left into chaos. The episode is wagging its finger at everyone messing around with AI tools like Sora 2 without thinking things through. That tech spins out of control, and nobody can tell what is real anymore. The whole town is stuck in this confusion, which is a sharp jab at how we all deal (or don’t deal) with fake news, AI, and the way misinformation just explodes when the lines between truth and fiction get blurred.
