‘South Park’ Is Going After Trump Like Never Before. It’s Exactly What We Need Right Now.

Satan has taken up residence in the White House.

This isn’t a play-by-play of the current news cycle in America, although it surely sounds like it. This is, in fact, the latest episode of “South Park,” once again scathingly calling out the Trump administration’s absurd antics in real time, and the show isn’t pulling any punches.

The most glaring plot, though, involved the return of a beloved character, Towelie, heading to a militarized Washington, D.C., just as Trump has deployed hundreds of National Guard troops in real life to address the city’s “crime emergency” (despite the U.S. Attorney’s Office saying crime hit a 30-year low earlier this year).

Season 27’s kickoff episode, which aired July 23, was a roast of epic proportions that not only constantly mocked the president’s “teeny tiny” genitals but also his penchant for litigation, as a Trump character threatens to sue the residents of South Park for protesting Jesus appearing in local schools, forcing them to settle.

The latter was a direct shot at Paramount’s $16 million settlement over a “60 Minutes” lawsuit from Trump amid its massive merger with Skydance, and the brutal storyline came just after “South Park” creators inked a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount. The show didn’t mince words in nodding to more Paramount drama, either, specifically the sudden (and widely criticized) cancellation of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” — which occurred shortly after the host slammed CBS’s settlement.

“You guys saw what happened to CBS? Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount. You really want to end up like Colbert?” Jesus asks in the episode.

Funny, the makers of “South Park” don’t seem too concerned with suffering the same fate. And if they are, they’re going out guns blazing.

South Park the driving school ?

Njeraa Perkins is the sort of person who has a very loud voice, and used it to say nothing. We are bombarded with entirely too many such voices.

[nickcarraway]

I don’t like SP, but Family Guy is the worst.

[jacknhoo]

Too bad for her and her powerful voice, Americans are experiencing black fatigue.

[packrat35]

They are cowards going after the easy laughs. Part of their deal with Paramount to letting Paramount ban any episodes that criticized Muslims in any way, around 7 in all.

Now the only way to watch those episodes is if you bought the dvds. Some much for the free speach they claimed to be for.

[wally_bert]

Family Guy and American Dad were funny in their early seasons.

The montage song is really good.

I think about it sometimes when I am editing in Final Cut.

Always fade out in a montage….

What is South Park?

[kaktuskid]

South Park stopped being funny when it became “South Pot”.

No kidding. They say nothing meaningful. It's just belligerent noise, Crockett being Exhibit A.

‘South Park’

Proud to say, I've never watched the crap.

Not even once.

“They are not protected just because Trump is a pubic figure.”

I don’t like South Park, but if it’s satire, which this clearly is, a public figure doesn’t have much recourse. It goes back to that Supreme Court case where Larry Flynt said Jerry Falwell fornicated with goats…

[sauropod]

Bkmk.

[Salman]

South Park going after Trump will only increase his popularity.
Surely the people who produce that cartoon know this fact.

I saw the episodes and they are not bad, provided you understand they are going for maximum offensiveness.
It's as much an over the top send up of Democrat conspiracy theories as it is a criticism of Trump.
Who is a lot like South Park's version of Saddam, down to the detail of literally being Satan's butt buddy.

Significantly, they stay away from any criticism of Trump's family.

Laugh along and you take away their power; like Charlie Kirk did.

I think the issue is they never did it with Obama or Biden.

[Nervous Tick]

Njera (say that five times real fast!) reminds me just how much I wish the ol’ forefathers had had the good sense to forego slavery and pick their own damn cotton.

[Organic Panic]

So brave. So edgy. To make fun of a republican. Especially Trump who is certain to throw all his critics in prison. Democrats said so.

[No name given]

An animated sitcom.
