Explaining the Crypto/NFT Language in South Park: Post COVID: The Return of COVID
If you don’t know what they were saying in the South Part: Post COVID: The Return of COVID special, then here’s an explanation.
This is my favorite 30 second clip from the special, and I can’t stop rewatching it.
I got this miniature donkey, with a lit up sombrero.
Terms Used:
HODL – Hold on for Dear Life (don’t sell or panic when price spikes up or down)
NFTs – Non Fungible Tokens (completely unique one of a kind digital asset)
Moon – When the price has a strong upward trend
Right-click in reference to NFT pictures being screenshotted
Pump-and-dump – artifically raise the price just to sell out and leave
FOMO – Fear of Missing Out (the drive to buy before the price moons)
The Flippening – a possible future event where ethereum overtakes bitcoin as the biggest crypto)
From the South Park: Post COVID: The Return of COVID special
The NFT/Crypto talk in this South Park special was really funny to me.
It’s definitely funnier when you understand what there
#SouthPark #Crypto #NFT

Thanks for the clarity 🙂
Wait, what the f- Who the fuck asked for this?
Lfmao even funnier
I had no idea how much of this scene flew over my head because I don't bother with NFTs. Thanks for making me realize what great writing is here xD
“Little PandaBear On A Skateboard” is a real collection now on Opensea!
There should be a world wide purge, the fact that dictatorial nations are the real benefactors of this.
I didnt saw this nfts scenes, is it on the first episode?
HODL was a typo in a crypto forum not that
HODL SpookyShiba
HODL does not stand for "hold on for dear life", that's a backronym that separates the noobs from the OGs.
Best part is…. that's not what HODL means lol
The thing I like is the fireman's facial movement, his eyebrows move in a way that makes it seem like he has zero clue what he's talking about but is trying to accurately tell them what happened
This is so lame you ruined it taking this seriously
As an avid crypto investor…this is shockingly accurate to how people talk in this community
South park is the best cartoon ever made.
Yo way over my head
describing the crypto-market in a nutshell in less than 1 minute
I understood it completely and my wife thought I was insane cause I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe
Anything that becomes worthless when their is a massive internet outage is not worth the money…unless your intention is to capitalize on people's FOMO with a pump and dump and profit while they all HODL.
Thanks for doing this, now I understand the jokes better.
This killed the humour.
I’m a gen Zer, and I had no idea what he was talking about
Pump n dump sounds funny, terrible slang
Thank you I had no idea what was going on before.
HODL isn't an acronym, it's a funny misspelling of someone trying to say HOLD, as in hold on to it, the value will continue to rise. It comes from the same core meme culture as using the word "tendies" to refer to gains.
I died laughing when I saw this for first time when I had some unclear assumptions about it, but now looooool 🤣. Tnx for explaining,omg 😃😭😂🤣
I love how south park mocked these crypto idiots for 2 straight hours, its a ponzi scheme
God, I feel old. Thank you, whippersnapper for indulging this Boomer.
Thank you for confirming that this concept is in fact, completely stupid, and 100% deserves to be made fun of.
thank you so much
This scene is actually funnier now that I know these are real terms and not just random stuff Matt and Trey threw out to make a scene funny.
Loll yes! Thank you for the translation. Golden 👏🏻👍🏻😎❤️
You can tell some 24 year old came up with these terms
“Miniature donkey with a lit up sombrero”, what does that mean?
It was driving me crazy. Everyone who watched this talked like they understood NFTS and I had no idea what it was
Sombrero: Spanish for hat.
Shut up
So this is NFT's version of Phase 2: ????…
wish you explained the donkey..it would have been hilarious
So wait, are NFTs some form jpg you can buy or is it just another cryptocurrency?
I found a rock in my background. It’s a completely unique organic material. Up for sale now only $1,200.
Basically what this boiled down to was a scam, much like the plandemic.
"Did you see where the man in the suit went?". "Yea he just waltzed away like nothing happened" 😂😂😂
Hahaha o my god people really buy nft and consider it an investment.This shows that we need a new economic system. Come on guy what are we doing? Wasting resources.. And letting con artists get away with selling a gif animation for millions?capitalism is dead. And this is the latest ‘innovation’ 😂
FUCKING cringe pausing and commenting, what has youtube and zoomers become. Nice way to ruin a video
Thank you for translating kryptonian to English.
Thank you for the explanation and furthering my understanding on why South Park is the greatest cartoon comedy of the past 30 years
HODL means HOLD, it comes from someone back in 2013 who missed typed it and since people write hodl as crypto/investment culture.
i need an explanation about that thing over his head, i dont get it, why every worker has that
SO WE HAVE TO NOT BUY BITCOIN?
