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."
Those highly attuned to the crypto space have been seeing Matt Damon's face on Crypto.com ads since late October, when the Oscar-nominated actor first appeared as the pitchman for the spot and derivatives exchange. In the ad, Damon tells viewers that "fortune favors the brave" while comparing crypto investors to arctic explorers, the Wright brothers, and astronauts. Several months on, that message is starting to resonate with the larger ad-viewing public, as Matt Damon broke into Twitter's tren...
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."
Damon's Crypto.com ad sees the Oscar-nominated actor striding around a futuristic room while comparing crypto investors to pioneers like the Wright brothers and astronauts.
It was recently pilloried on social media, with Guardian writer Carole Cadwalladr tweeting, "There isn’t enough yuck in the world to describe Matt Damon advertising a Ponzi scheme."
It's not the first time that South Park has taken aim at cryptocurrency; last year, an episode set in the near future featured a motel clerk declaring that "it’s the future—we’ve all decided centralized banking is rigged, so we trust more in fly-by-night Ponzi schemes," while displaying a "Bitcoin only" sign on their reception desk.
It's also not the first go-around that Damon has had with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. In their 2004 film Team America: World Police, Damon is depicted as a puppet who can only say his name; a line that fans still yell at the actor.
"If I'm near a college town, I'll get 'Maaatt Daaaamon' from Team America," Damon told Absolute Radio.
Formula 1 has renewed its partnership with exchange platform Crypto.com, extending the agreement through 2030 as both entities seek to capitalize on their shared momentum. The renewed partnership will see Crypto.com continue to feature prominently at key Formula 1 events, including the Miami Grand Prix, where it has been the title sponsor since the race’s inception in 2022. The deal, first inked in 2021, marked Formula 1’s foray into the crypto world at a time when digital assets were experienc...
Mo Shaikh, a co-creator of the Aptos blockchain and co-founder and CEO of the Aptos Labs firm that helps support it, announced Thursday that he's leaving the company to focus on a "new chapter." "Today, I am stepping away from Aptos Labs to start a new chapter," Shaikh wrote on X. "One of my true passions lies in building companies from the ground up, and we have done that at Aptos Labs by building a world-class team." "I leave Aptos Labs with the utmost confidence in the team," he continued, "a...
Building on the momentum of anticipated changes to U.S. crypto policy, Binance.US said it aims to restore its USD services in early 2025, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. It marks the exchange's first major operational shift as regulatory pressure forced the exchange to suspend fiat trading last year. The platform has operated under restricted banking access since June 2023, when SEC civil claims triggered a suspension of dollar deposits and withdrawals. "While I can't provide a de...
