“South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had a simple response to the furor the often-controversial show stoked this week with an episode showing President Trump in bed with Satan and making fun of what they depicted as the president’s small genitals.
“We’re terribly sorry,” Parker said Thursday, holding a deadpan stare as the crowd laughed during a panel at Comedy Central’s Comic-Con.
The “South Park” season premiere drew a response from the White House, which said in a statement to The Guardian that the show “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.”
“President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak,” spokesperson Taylor Rogers told the paper.
The premiere of the show’s 27th season also skewered Paramount over its recent decision to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump for $16 million. Paramount received approval Thursday from Trump’s Federal Communications Commission for an $8 billion merger agreement with Skydance.
The “South Park” episode that provoked the White House’s ire aired just days after Parker and Stone reached their own deal with Paramount for the rights to “South Park,” reported by Variety as valued more than $1 billion.
Parker and Stone said they were asked by their producers to blur...

They did mock Obama. There is a whole episode of a caper with Mccain and Obama.
However, I dont believe they were ever as ruthless as last nights episode on Trump.
Wasn’t funny just trashy
After the success of Book of Mormon, Broadway flipped them. They even did a show basically apologizing to Al Gore for making fun of global warming years ago.
2008?
South Park has always been satire. Nothing has changed.
It’s funny to watch people get upset over a cartoon.
Same. It’s like bands. Even my favorite artists get tiresome after 8 or so albums.
They pulled an episode because of Muhammed but they won’t pull this one even though they should.
Exactly, South Park makes fun of every religion and every political movement. Everything is fair game to them and nothing is off limits.
“Does Kenny get killed?”
They should have him drown and the entire Senate watches, demanding he pay them before they throw him a life preserver.
He doesn’t have enough money, so they let him drown.
Trump has a good enough sense of humor that he might even think it’s funny.
You are correct they for four years never told a single Biden joke while he was President and kept coming back to the Trump well. They’ve been bashing Trump for 10 years. They’ve been might joke about liberal topic like men in women’s sports or something. They honestly used to be down the middle but that stopped when Barack came in and they never joked about him either.
The problem with that is most of South Parks audience is conservatives and libertarians once they leave Trey and Matt can keep collecting checks from Paramount but nobody will watch anyway.
They did not tell a single Joe Biden joke while he was President not one. They left their libertarian leanings years ago. They are corporate lefties and once they had to pull the Mohammad episode have acted accordingly
When the “Herblock” (by Herb Block) Washington Post political cartoons syndicated in 400 newspapers vilified Vice President Richard Nixon it caused him to cancel his subscription to the Washington Post in 1954 so his young daughters would not see them.
One showed Nixon crawling out of a sewer. Block had earlier used that setting for Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
He hated Nixon and insulted him in cartoons all the way through the 1960s and the Watergate era of the 1970s through to 2001. He was given the Pulitzer Prize three times.
A vicious, spiteful leftist. Historians go along with the theory that he was never a Communist himself. He coined the phrase, some say, McCarthyism to attack Joseph McCarthy.
I have never watched an episode. I am proud to proclaim.
Thank you for that important announcement.
