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.
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.

PBS FTW, been digging their stuff since I was a toddler watching Sesame Street lol. Their PBS Eons channel (on YT…) is great, when I was watching more video content I enjoyed their streaming service for a range of stuff too, can’t remember what it was called now though.
So yeah give em some bucks folks and watch cool stuff, they really need it.
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
I cried laughed when they called him a retarded removed. Multiple times. I had a heart attack of the Ai video at the end.
Removed removed?
The AI video was amazing.
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.
Do you think you have some kind of “gotcha” here or something?
Got tired of trying to explain the logic to people who couldn’t or wouldn’t understand it. For the ones who can, this image is all it takes.
God, you dumb
Just because you can’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s dumb.
This is how I know you have either never watched South Park, or that you entirely misunderstand the show.
Trey and Matt were vocal libertarians for a long time and only recently realized it’s a morally bankrupt political position.
For example they mocked Gore for warning about global warming. There was no “both sides are to be mocked” in that episode. It was, “Gore is a complete idiot.” That was season 10. 12 years later they realized their mistake and made an apology episode where they showed Gore was right all along.
So yeah, good for them for finally coming around but the OP isn’t wrong that they lead their libertarian mob towards the cliff.
Penn Jillette, who I respect for being a caring and thoughtful person, also took way too long to realize Libertarians were neither.
And their apology episode was very much ‘we would have believed you if you weren’t so annoying, geez, it’s still your fault’
This is the 3rd comment I’ve read about South Park being “both sides”.
No shit they are both sides. Everyone is fair game for them, no ones safe from satire or mocking. It’s the whole point of the show.
It rings hollow when one side is the usual shitty greedy politicians and the other is for fascism.
So in your opinion; greedy shitty politicians should be free from criticism?
Nope! They should be criticized without acting like they’re just like the fascists.
No shit they are both sides. Everyone is fair game for them, no ones safe from satire or mocking. It’s the whole point of the show.
They pick who to mock and how thoroughly. I haven’t watched the show in probably a decade, but up until this they were using Mr Garrison to portray “Trump”.
Theoretically, nobody’s safe, but in practice anything left of GWB is portrayed as a whiny baby, a stupid hippy, or whatever.
At least they seem to realize that “left wokeism” isn’t the top threat in the country anymore, even if they were suckers for buying that it was in the first place.
Edit: I don’t know what to tell you guys, they even have characters in this episode that are like “just because wokeism went too far in one direction doesn’t mean we should go too far in the other”. They really do seem to believe that because liberals are annoying to them that they’re just as bad as concentration camp Trump.
Yes. “Everything is fair game” except for the narcissism of their own Libertarian party.
I was sorta wondering how the whole season ended up all on paramount given how they have felt about the distribution but now I get that they wanted it. all of it. to be all on paramount.
The extended scene leaves no room for misunderstandings.
OMG, they made it talk!
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.
It looks cut to me. So small it’s hard to tell though.
plays in browser for me
That’s good, went straight to my downloads folder. Android phone, Jerboa app.
Having watched it without contributing a dime to Paramount, I have to say that was amazing.
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!
