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.

    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.

      It’s not the neoliberals fault they sold FDR’s party to billionaires! The only ones to blame here are people who make cartoons and pointed it out!

      Because no one would have ever noticed shit sucks unless a couple stoners made a fucking cartoon about it…

        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.

          And their apology episode was very much ‘we would have believed you if you weren’t so annoying, geez, it’s still your fault’

            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
