South Park's latest episode, titled "We Be Clubbin'," aired Wednesday, November 11, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central as the fifth installment of the show's 29th season, according to USA Today and Variety.

The episode brings back Craig Tucker and Tweek Tweak for the first time in years: Variety reports Tweek was last seen in 2021 and Craig not since 2019.

The story centers on the couple's forgotten anniversary, with Craig consumed by club sports commitments and Tweek joining South America Club Sports just to spend time with him.

The Guardian reports that the episode takes on the increasingly expensive world of club sports, a real-life phenomenon it calls a comic corollary to a recent New York magazine report.

Per The Guardian, Tweek's family faces a cascade of charges — a $26 try-out fee, a $26 assessment fee, $10 parking fees, $20 spectator fees and endless hotel bills — itemizations the outlet says may be exaggerated, but which reflect real club sports costs that can run into thousands of dollars.

The Guardian suggests series co-creator Trey Parker, with a daughter of the right age, may have first-hand knowledge of this youth-sports scene.

The episode's most talked-about beat is its nod to the show "Heated Rivalry." According to Variety, Cartman warns Tweek about Craig's club sports friends by referencing the series, prompting Tweek to sign up himself.

The Guardian reports that when the club owner realizes Tweek and Craig are a couple, both are promoted to "triple A" status largely because of "Heated Rivalry" — with other parents' lavish spending subsidizing the elite few.

The Guardian also notes the couple's rift is resolved somewhat perfunctorily, with the pair ditching SACS to just be normal kids again.

The episode opens with a nod to the November 3 US midterm elections. Per AOL, Mr. Garrison tells students the president took a "severe beating" in the midterms, adding, "it's no fun punching down on a helpless loser. So we're just gonna not do that this week, okay?"

Variety reports PC Principal then returns to announce new "liberal changes" at South Park Elementary in a profanity-laced vow of tolerance.

The Guardian notes the show is now titled "South America" this season, and calls the episode unexpectedly sharp at depicting modern parental anxieties even when the digs at club sports repeat with only nominal variation.

USA Today reports the next new episode airs Wednesday, November 25, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central, with episodes streaming the next day on Paramount+.

The season continues its running gags: USA Today notes the series was renamed "South America" in September to poke fun at President Trump's renaming habits, and that Stan's dad Randy joined the school after a "looksmaxxing" episode, in essence replacing Kenny, who was killed off in the season premiere.

The Guardian says "We Be Clubbin'" trades up-to-the-minute news for a story that actually engages its kid leads — a rare choice for a show known for irreverence.
