Secretary of War Pete Hegseth skewered in South Park debut
Share this @internewscast.com

In the latest Thanksgiving episode of “South Park,” the show turned its satirical spotlight on Pete Hegseth, the Trump Administration’s Secretary of War, marking his first appearance on the animated series.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of “South Park,” took aim at the former Fox News host, portraying Hegseth as a bully fixated on social media popularity.

One memorable scene features Hegseth clashing with the show’s fictional version of Kristi Noem, as they argue over social media views and subscriber counts.

In the episode, the satirical version of Donald Trump tasks Hegseth with a mission in the fictional town of South Park, setting the stage for the ensuing chaos.

Trump humorously advises, “Don’t just make a bunch of content. Like, actually go and do something,” which leads Hegseth to hilariously misinterpret a Thanksgiving-themed event as an Antifa protest.

This blunder brings unwanted assistance from the character Kristi Noem, depicted as a heavily Botoxed, image-conscious ICE agent, who makes a return appearance after being lampooned in earlier episodes.

Noem – who has earned the nickname ICE Barbie in real life – tells Hegseth in the episode, ‘At ease, solider,’ before framing the town’s ‘Turkey Trot’ as a ‘civilian uprising.’

‘Yeah. We don’t need Homeland Security’s help. We got it,’ Hegseth shoots back, accompanied by hundreds of members of the military.

The former Fox News host was mocked mercilessly as a social media-obsessed bully in his South Park debut Wednesday night. The frame of mind pit him against the show's version of Kristi Noem at a point, with the two bickering over followers

‘We’re just here to assist in any way that we can. That’s what Homeland Security does,’ Noem responds. ‘Be sure to like and subscribe, guys.’

Hegseth interrupts, ‘No, no, no, no, no – this is not your content! Be sure to like and subscribe to the Department of War!’

A montage of the secretary invading the town to a parody version of ‘Danger Zone’ followed.

‘Hegseth is a f***ing d***he,’ the chorus went.

The song also lambasted Hegseth during the Top Gun tune’s refrain, with lines like, ‘Acting like a tough guy, posting it around the world… Making lots of content, like a little teenage girl.’

At another point, South Park’s Trump, frustrated with his cabinet member’s ineffectiveness, slams him as ‘a d***hebag.’

The unforgiving nature of the episode quickly caused a stir on social media.

‘Man South Park is out for blood with pete hegseth,’ someone wrote on X.

Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker also depicted Hegseth as an ineffective, unqualified leader, seemingly in over his head

Hegseth is only the latest Republican to receive the South Park treatment, with the show already panning JD Vance, the president, and Noem (seen here together in August)

Others found amusement at a Hegseth malapropism – ‘I’m here to kick bubblegum and chew a**, and I’m all out of bubblegum’.

‘That Pete Hegseth song on South Park is stuck in my head now,’ someone else said, showing their delight through a series of laughing emojis.

By the end of the episode, Hegseth ends up in a jail cell – with Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel his cellmate. Thiel – another victim of South Park’s satire – was cuffed in the previous episode.

‘You son of a b***h! The president will come for us. South Park’s gonna pay for this. They’re all gonna pay!’ Hegseth says before the credits roll.

He’s the latest public figure to receive the South Park treatment, with Stone and Parker also tearing into JD Vance and Charlie Kirk recently

Paramount secured the rights to the long-airing Comedy Central series for $1.25 billion in July. The company merged with David Ellison-run Skydance just days before.

On Wednesday, Hegseth announced that 500 more National Guard troops will be deployed to Washington, DC, in coming weeks, after two National Guard members were shot blocks from the White House.
