In the inaugural episode of Season 27, “South Park” directly confronts President Donald Trump. The episode portrays Trump in bed with Satan, reminiscent of the 1999 film “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut,” where Saddam Hussein was involved with Satan. Satan tells Trump, “You remind me increasingly of this other guy I once dated. Like, a lot. You two are basically the same.”
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone also illustrate Trump with a micropenis and allude to rumors of his involvement with the “Epstein list.” The premiere critiques Paramount’s $16 million agreement with Trump stemming from a lawsuit related to a “60 Minutes” interview featuring Vice President Kamala Harris, where Trump claimed the editing was “deceitful.” In the episode, residents of South Park protest against Trump, resulting in a lawsuit requiring them to compensate Trump and produce pro-Trump PSAs as part of the settlement.
The episode wraps up with a PSA showcasing an AI deepfake of Trump disrobing in the desert, finishing with his penis declaring, “I’m Donald J. Trump, and I endorse this message.” The accompanying voiceover states, “His penis is tiny, but his affection for us is immense.”
The Trump administration voiced discontent with the episode. According to “Rolling Stone,” a Trump advisor found it “unsettling.” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers criticized the hypocrisy of the Left, which previously condemned “South Park” for offensive material but now lauds it.
Prior to the Season 27 debut, Paramount secured a five-year contract with Parker and Stone for 50 new episodes on Comedy Central and a streaming collaboration with Paramount+, valued at $1.5 billion.
“South Park” promptly tackles the Paramount settlement following Stephen Colbert’s criticism on “The Late Show,” labeling it a “big, fat bribe” in connection with a merger between Skydance Media and Paramount. “The Late Show” was subsequently canceled, with CBS citing financial issues.
In the episode, Jesus Christ implores South Park’s citizens to make amends with Trump, asking, “Do you really want to end up like Colbert?”
