South Park returned for its 25th season premiere Wednesday and wasted no time skewering Matt Damon’s recent commercial for Crypto.com.
In the episode “Pajama Day,” the elementary school class loses its right to wear pajamas to school, which quickly escalates into a standoff between pajama-wearing residents of South Park and their non-pajama-wearing neighbors.
As the class tries to find a solution, they repeatedly riff on the tagline from Damon’s recent—and widely mocked—commercial for cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com: “Fortune favors the brave.”
“What does Matt Damon say in the Bitcoin commercial? Fortune favors the brave!” Cartman exhorts the class. His classmate Clyde replies, “My dad said he listened to Matt Damon and lost all his money.”
The running gag plays out throughout the episode, until one character says, “Alright dude, can we lay off the Matt Damon jokes please, they’re just getting old.”

It was recently pilloried on social media, with អាណាព្យាបាល អ្នកនិពន្ធ Carole Cadwalladr tweeting"មិនមាន yuck គ្រប់គ្រាន់នៅក្នុងពិភពលោកដើម្បីពិពណ៌នាអំពីការផ្សាយពាណិជ្ជកម្ម Matt Damon គ្រោងការណ៍ Ponzi នោះទេ។"
