‘South Park’ creators double down on episode skewering Trump

“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...

Ayn Coulter syndrome. Turn up the controversy to reignite attention.

Everybody can let their breath out now.

I’m ashamed to say I saw 2 or maybe 3 Simpsons shows. But never Family Guy and all the rest of the junk.

YES THEY DID

there is a searchable database

However, there was a big fight between HBO and Paramount about South Park during Biden’s tenure.

biden got off easy compared to Trump

So because of the "big fight between Paramount and HBO" they were only allowed to make fun of and bash Trump but not Biden?

WTF are you even saying? These excuses make no sense.

“Considering that South Park has always been known for its unvarnished satire, and for an extraordinarily responsive production process that allows it to comment on events almost until the moment of broadcast, the first episode of its 27th season always had the potential to sting. And since that first episode – entitled Sermon on the ’Mount – is a scorching critique of both Paramount’s cowardice and Trump’s eagerness to ride roughshod over his own voters, sting it does. Trump himself is a character, as is his talking micropenis. Even for a show like South Park, which has often been defined by its anger, this may well go down as its most furious ever.

They never ever made fun of Joe Biden they literally had an episode where Trump was being prisoner sexed. They absolutely hate Trump and have bashed Trump for 10 years of course it hasn’t worked as Trump won two elections driven largely by south parks core audience.
Also they never ever made fun of Barack Obama once he was in office he was off limits to the South Park guys after their election night 08 episode which was so freaking mild it wasn’t even funny. They are leftys who occasionally jab a left topic. But they only ever go after Trump or Republicans

Less Episodes. And yes, they have had to fight off censorship throughout the run.

Sometimes they run out of juice..and that is how you got Hail Satan Woodland Critters.

If we can’t take South Park in good humor then we’re as bad as the woke libs. It’s SOUTH PARK FOR EFFS SAKE! I love DT but he’s as fair game for them as all of the many many other famous people they’ve roasted.

Tell me the joke they did about Joe Biden? South Park had an episode where Trump was getting prison sexed years ago it doesn’t work on Trump but it goes to show you they are committed leftists who occasionally bash their own party.

Nobody has a problem with that but to claim South Park is an equal opportunity offender is nonsense. Never told a single Biden joke while he was in office.

Honestly did you even watch this clip? It doesn’t make fun of Joe at all. Go back to your Trump Epstein conspiracies

Did you not hear the guy said Biden was afraid ????

Or this one where Joe Biden caused the recession and “took my job”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-GZ0kN4koA&ab

BIden was in one episode with devil horns but I think that is only seen on the DVD because it got cut

You act like they never mentioned Biden or made fun of him.

Its not true
