Fans were left wondering about missing South Park promos, but this week’s episode puts Randy in the spotlight.

The episode is a sharp satire of tech bros, AI, and Trump’s Washington, despite the promo confusion explained at Comic-Con.
Three episodes into South Park’s Trump-fueled season, fans started wondering—what happened to that promo with Randy recommending ketamine, or the return of Diddy and Starvin’ Marvin? This week’s Sickofancy puts Randy back in the spotlight. After ICE raids Tegridy Farms, he’s left with only Towelie and ends up rebranding as “Techridy” with some help from ChatGPT… and a little ketamine micro-dosing, echoing the promo clip where Randy was shown pushing ketamine to his daughter Sally.
But according to The Guardian, the episode is really a sharp satire of tech bros, AI, and Trump’s dystopian takeover of Washington, DC. As for those wild promo moments, Trey Parker explained at Comic-Con that the trailer wasn’t tied to any real episodes. Week-to-week writing and summer marketing meant none of it was planned, so while Randy’s ketamine micro-dosing might feel like a nod to the promo, it’s really just a coincidence—and fans are reacting with a mix of disappointment and surprise online.
