“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...

The first ten seasons or so were funny. I think my all-time favorite was the Scientology episode, but there were other pretty hilarious ones.

I haven’t watched it in a long time, and reading about this episode makes me glad I haven’t bothered with it.

Sheesh, TRUMP IS TIED TO EPSTEIN, YOU MORON.

Or are you going to try to claim Trump never said this:

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

That doesnt mean Trump was screwing around with 14 year olds BUT HE IS TIED TO EPSTEIN BY HIS OWN WORDS

I saw that right after I posted. He’s been under assault for so many years I wouldn’t blame him if he doesn’t see the humor.

It’s really just silly.

I haven’t watched it on years but I’m not surprised the went after Trump.
I am surprised they didn’t go after Biden at all or so I have resd.
Talk about missing a easy paycheck.
But SP was never conservative friendly even though they bite on some liberal icons.

That wasn’t really a mocking. It was them as Oceans 11/Jewel Heist masterminds. Hardly mocking.

I know these guys and I know Trey’s CONSERVATIVE family. I assure you, their comedy is their priority. On top of that, they are going to grasp on to ANY material available. It’s a business and they do NOT give a damn about anyone’s feelers.

Now, try the same with 0bambi.

Their depiction of H1tlery was relatively tame. And lame.

Parker and Stone are pals of Jared Polis.
