The latest South Park special, “South Park: Not Suitable for Children,” which premiered on Paramount+ on Wednesday, has set its sights on none other than Logan Paul and his Prime drink company. In a scene from the show, a character resembling Logan Paul, named Logan LeDouche, is seen promoting a drink brand called “Cred,” bearing a striking resemblance to Prime Hydration bottles.
Key Takeaway
South Park’s latest special takes aim at Logan Paul and his Prime drink company, parodying the over-the-top marketing and controversy surrounding the product’s appeal to a young audience.
Logan Paul in the Satirical Spotlight
The satirical portrayal shows the Logan LeDouche character delivering an over-the-top marketing pitch for “Cred,” with lines such as “The most important thing is just to be yourself. When I feel like I can’t be myself, that’s when I need a hydration drink that’ll pick me up — that’s when I need Cred!!” The spoof even goes as far as mocking Logan’s extravagant marketing stunts, including a reference to his skydiving promotional campaign for Prime.
The scene also takes a dig at the controversy surrounding Prime’s energy drink, which had drawn criticism from Senator Chuck Schumer due to its potential impact on Logan’s predominantly young fanbase, despite the product being labeled for individuals ages 18 and above. The narrator in the clip sarcastically states, “Drink Cred at your school today!! Not intended for children.”
Logan Paul’s Response
Despite the parody, Logan Paul appears to have taken the jest in stride, as he shared the clip on his social media accounts. The old saying about any publicity being good publicity seems to hold true, with Logan possibly relishing the free advertisement.
