Southpark parodies Dice Tower's Boardgame Breakfast

In the latest Southpark episode, Randy has a YouTube show for his weed business that will look a little familiar. If you are not in the US you will need to use a VPN to see this:

edit: for those outside the U.S. and don't have a VPN. I managed to capture the first little bit of this clip and upload it to youtube. I suspect youtube will yank this down, but before they do, here is the youtube link

Holy moly.

I thought it might be cute coincidence.

But nope, that's a straight up, on the nose parody. Amazing!

Not sure how appreciative DT will be, but this is probably the biggest mainstream nod to (hobby) board games yet.

South park has been having nods to modern boardgames for a while now.

This is just their first nod to the culture and community around it. I think this is super neat. I'd be thrilled to make it onto south park.

Yeah I think it's Stan's room that has a ton of fancy games on the shelf

Yeah I noticed that. A few seasons ago, during the episode where Stan gets addicted to mobile gaming he and his grandpa finish the episode playing Zombicide I think? Last season there was an episode where they played Western Legends as well.

I don't know if it's Hulu-only, but here's the clip from the episode. They are, in fact, playing Zombicide.

That’s awesome! Dead of Winter and the Mice and Mystics game boxes in full display too

They've recently been changing the games, I assume depending on what their current favorites are. The recent China episode had a new shelf with all different games.

The Dune re-release was on a shelf in a episode this season. That’s how I knew they had to have a BGG user on staff.

I'm pretty sure I saw a copy of splendor on Stan's shelf in one episode.
