Towelie’s Return Promises Chaos In South Park Season 27’s Trailer
Towelie Is One of the Show’s Most Divisive Characters
It has been a while sinceSouth Parktook aim at the events of each passing week with the show’s lightning-fast satirical wit, so all eyes are on season 27, episode 3, to see if the series can continue this current hot streak. Luckily, the return of one infamous character implies that, whatever else happens in episode 3, viewers can certainly expect animated anarchy.
Towelie is back in the trailer forSouth Parkseason 27, episode 3, arriving in Washington DC in the teaser. He seemingly intends to help out at the White House, judging by the trailer, which can only end in tears, as many longtime fans of the show already know.

Towelie is mostly known for providing unsolicited, terrible advice to the citizens of South Park and for constantly getting high, both qualities that make him a perfect business partner in Randy Marsh’s Tegridy Farms from season 22 onwards. Although Towelie has always been a divisive figure in the show’s fandom, he can undeniably be relied on to shake up an episode’s story.

In recent years, Towelie has mostly functioned as a sidekick forSouth Park’s Randy Marsh, meaning he hasn’t starred in many episodes of his own. Season 10, episode 5, “A Million Little Fibers,” was an infamously unpopular episode that focused entirely on Towelie, without any of the show’s usual lead characters appearing. Its disastrous reception makes another Towelie solo adventure unlikely.
