() The Season 27 premiere of “South Park” took aim at President Donald Trump and threw jabs at the company that has the rights to the show.
The episode, “Sermon on the Mount,” depicted Trump lying in bed with Satan, suing the town in the show for $5 billion, feuding with the Canadian prime minister and complaining about his “teeny tiny” manhood in artwork.
“Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone. “This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
It also includes jokes about Trump’s handling of the Epstein files and Paramount’s settlement with the president over the “60 Minutes” lawsuit.
Jesus Christ, a recurring character, also appears and warns characters to tread lightly with the Trump criticisms.
“Do you really want to end up like Colbert?” he says, referencing Paramount’s decision to end “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” next spring. It came within days of the company agreeing to settle a lawsuit over how presidential candidate Kamala Harris was edited in a 2024 “60 Minutes” interview.
The episode aired less than a day after “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a five-year streaming deal with Paramount, reportedly worth $1.5 billion.
