South Park shows new GTA 6 footage in episode
Quick answer: Comedy Central's "Guinea Pig on a Stick" aired new in-game GTA 6 footage on Wednesday, showing Jason Duval fighting a man with dog poop.
The latest South Park episode, "Guinea Pig on a Stick", aired on Comedy Central on Wednesday, and Hollywood Reporter said it included new in-game footage of Grand Theft Auto VI. The footage was shown during a visit to a cattle ranch, where a character named Ruth Chris previewed "what's coming in November."
The clip shows main character Jason Duval fighting a man on Vice Beach with a bag of dog poop. Deadline reported that Ruth Chris explains the mechanic: "It's a dog taking a poop. And people can pick up the dog poop. You can throw things at the person with dog poop, and if they choose to fight back, you can pick up the dog poop and actually attack them with the dog poop." Deadline also reported that Cartman responds, "Dude, that game looks fucking tits!"
Hollywood Reporter read the segment as a metaphor for the November 3 midterm elections, with the show's satire drawing on the game's release. Deadline likewise said the show calls the game's release the "big change" coming in November, and framed it as a reminder of the midterms.
The two outlets disagree on the release date. Hollywood Reporter gave November 18, while Deadline gave November 19. Official sources state November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, which is the date to rely on.
