South Park Spoofs The Lost Boys in The End of Obesity First Look Clip
South Park has revealed a first look clip of its new special, South Park: The End of Obesity, and it spoofs a major scene from the 1987 vampire film The Lost Boys.
In the clip, Randy Marsh attends a party with several middle aged women who are all on the weight loss drug Ozempic. Randy brings some weed to keep the party going, but one of the women offers Randy an Ozempic injection instead. After some shouts of “Randy! Randy! Randy!,” he takes the injection, and falls into a euphoric trance while Lost Boys theme “Cry Little Sister” plays in the background.
The clip mimics the Lost Boys scene when the protagonist Michael drinks a bottle of blood and is initiated into the vampire gang, right down to the crowd whispering “Randy… Randy…” at the end of the sequence. Meanwhile, in the End of Obesity clip, Randy wakes the next day shocked that he feels rejuvenated after a night of doing a “hard drug,” and — unsurprisingly — he’s lost his appetite. Watch the clip below.

If a bit of Lost Boys nostalgia sparks joy, a new Lost Boys musical is currently in development.
