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.

    in practice anything left of GWB is portrayed as a whiny baby, a stupid hippy, or whatever.

    Yeah, no shit… they’re making fun… they aren’t going to portray anyone in a good way. That’s the point. Bring it on!

    Have you considered the way they portray anything right of GWB? If you just want to laugh at others but get mad when it makes fun of characters you relate to, that’s a you problem.

    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”

    Said by their stereotype redneck character that uses slurs every line… use your brain.

      Yeah, like the loggers clearing out the jungle. They portray them as heroes. Or the one where the tobacco companies are portrayed as heroes.

      It’s not out and out libertarian propaganda because I think there’s a lot more emphasis on the jokes. But it’s pretty fucking close.

        🤦 Watching lemmy users discover how a joke works in realtime. Amazing. Are you familiar with the concept of satire? It’s a really tough one to grasp, apparently
