Show begins 27th season covering Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount and cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, depicting Trump in bed with Satan

South Park has kicked off its 27th season with a blistering episode taking aim at Donald Trump and its newly minted parent company, Paramount, just one day after signing a $1.5bn deal with the network.

The premiere episode, “Sermon on the Mount,” sees Trump in bed with series regular Satan and covers topics including Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount, the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wokeness, Trump’s attacks on Canada and more.

Unlike other characters, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert. There are repeated suggestions that Trump’s genitalia are small.

      Australia here. Had to get Paramount+ just to watch this as soon as possible. Stayed up till 1:30 this morning waiting for the season drop. Nothing. Pirated it. Hardest I laughed in a long time. Guess its time to unsub then

      That will directly download for people who don’t realize.

      Also, that is in the actual show, it isn’t cut at all. I streamed it a little bit ago.

        With so much to make fun of him for, it kind of feels tacky to punch down on people that have to wear diapers to me, idk. I don’t think we should make fun of people for medical conditions, that’s a quick slide into making fun of people with disabilities etc.

        But on the other hand he’s obviously insecure about it and I’m on board with bullying trump about anything he’s insecure about, so I’m stuck in this ethical quandary here.

          There’s a dozen things that you shouldn’t reasonably make fun of. Balding, obesity, swollen ankles, micropenises, incontinence, dementia, and so on. But it’s Trump. If I could think up a slight about him breathing air, and it really pissed him off, I would totally share it.

    I LOVE The Constitution and Humor (Trump is the FUNNIEST Person on the “Planet”) but Matt Stone and “Trey” Parker need to be DEPORTED for This! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

    On one hand, this is pretty ‘leopards ate my face.’ On the other hand, I fully expect them to get their pound of flesh, and then some on this issue.

    Update: 9 minutes into this episode. Yup. I approve.

      They certainly aren’t blameless in the story of how we got to where we are now, but I do appreciate and think it’s commendable that these two have realized the danger we’re in and changed their tune. It’s not exactly on brand for them to portray anyone real as outright evil besides Streisand and Saddam. Debatably John Edwards

      Granted I haven’t watched the show since right before Randy started selling weed so maybe I’m remembering South Park wrong

        What do you mean change their tune? They have always made fun of Trump or Mr Garrison.

          They championed the cause of the Enlightened Centrist Vaguely Libertarian Bro-Dude for decades. That simply has an effect on the society when you’re creating something as popular as South Park.

          Sure, they joined all the other actually rational libertarian bro-types but it turns out there were never that many of those.

    Fuck off, South Park. Trey and Matt are as responsible as anyone for the “both sides are flawed therefore both sides are equally bad” bullshit that gave a generation a pass to try to play off intellectual incuriosity and cynical laziness as some kind of principled position.

            Yeah that’s not how this works. That’s not how anything works. Are you 15? You’re definitely dumb.

            You and the types like you, if you could vote, anyway, are the reason why the world now has to deal with the shit from trump. You always give the same bullshit “my brain is missing!” opinions like the one you just posted.

            Yes yes, whatever it said is technically true, as long as you just ignore facts and common sense, but that is just how you roll

            God you dumb
