Lizzo Wears Ozempic Halloween Costume Referencing ‘South Park’ Episode That Made Fun of Her
Lizzo had some South Park fun for Halloween.
On Saturday (October 26), the singer posted clips and images of herself parodying the South Park special “The End of Obesity” from May. In the episode, the show’s lead character Eric Cartman was prescribed a weight-loss drug named after Lizzo, also an alternative for Ozempic.
Just days before Halloween, the 4-time Grammy winner dressed in a tube of ‘LizzOzempic,’ which promises “a smile on your face and a pep in your step.” Other videos show Lizzo dancing with a cardboard cutout and costumed version of Cartman; one post showing her flipping off the camera while the South Park jingle for the ‘Lizzo’ drug is sang.
Lizzo’s playful reaction to the episode is quite opposite from how she called out the show in May, when she called the spoof her “worst fear” in a blind duet TikTok with a scene from South Park.
“That’s crazy. I just feel like, damn, I’m really that bitch,” she said around the 1:30-minute mark of the TikTok below. “I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a fuck to the point where these men in Colorado know who the fuck I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years.”
South Park, which is historically known for their celebrity spoofs, mocked the artist for her message body positivity in the episode. Recently, Lizzo has been on a workout kick, bringing her social media following along for the journey.
“I’m going to write you a prescription for Lizzo,” the doctor tells Cartman in a scene from the episode. “She’s a really good singer who talks about body positivity, and just being happy with the way you look. I want you to listen to Lizzo five times a day, and watch her videos just before bedtime. I’m afraid you’ll have to be on Lizzo for the rest of your life.”
