    Sometimes South Park I think is a bit too nihilistic in a weaponized way for me but to be fair it has also gone straight at the assholes of the world too, but even from my mixed-bag perspective on South Park I can see Trump attacking South Park is probably the absolute worst thing Trump could possibly do that I could possibly imagine.

    South Park writers will steamroll Trump over and over again, I really hope this feud continues because it is going to be hilarious. Like… say what you will about South Park writers, you cannot deny that they aren’t smart, reactive to changing cultural realities and willing to say it how the writers think it is… and Trump is absolutely none of those things (and he is only getting more out of touch as he deteriorates mentally).

    This is like watching a nature documentary where a bee sees one of those parasite wasps and bravely tries to intimidate it away and you are like ā€œoof… this is going to end realllll bad for you buddyā€ as you listen to the narrator describe how the parasitic wasp will inject its eggs into the bee to use as an incubator.

    :)

    I mean, this is embarassing for Trump and the people around him at the basic level that they clearly don’t actually understand South Park isn’t really leftist, or at least it isn’t reflective of the vast majority of leftism in the US now. South Park is its own thing and it has frequently pissed of the left as much as the right, that is kind of the point of the show?

    facepalm

    If the show hasn’t been relevant for 20 years then why is the Whitehouse bothering to comment on it? Is the Whitehouse going to release a statement about Andromeda?

    Hasn’t been relevant? South Park has been the most relevant social commentary for nearly the entire run of the show. Now more than ever

      It was shockingly funny. Felt almost normal for a moment in the wake of this monumental cultural divide unraveling across our nation.

      Ah, crap…

    No way Trump himself has seen the episode yet. I’m expecting a monumental meltdown when he does. That desert PSA left me with my jaw on the floor- one of the most brazen ā€œfuck youā€s to Trump I’ve ever seen.

    i can think of 1.5 billion reasons why its still relevant.

    also, they spelled ā€˜hot flash’ wrong in reference to that geriatric piece of feces

    His ā€œhot streakā€ of blatantly covering up a global elite pedophile ring he was part of? Ok

    1. ā€œWhite House bashes whines like the ass damaged little bitch it is after South Park parodyā€, and

    2. Good job Streisand effecting the very thing you’re whining about, you dumb fucking cunts.

    The only two things that will remain after the heat death of the universe are photons and republican stupidity.

    Noticed they listed a ā€œ1/50ā€ on that ā€œpro-Trump PSAā€ bit. I hope they’ve actually prepared 50 of those.

      I think they agreed to 5 more seasons with 10 episodes each so I’m guessing it’s gonna happen, Unless they get cancelled first.

        Paramount paid them $1.5B for more South Park (both new episodes and for exclusive streaming rights on Paramount+ for all of the older seasons) so if they cancel them it could be very expensive.

          They are, in my opinion, trying to get cancelled.

          Like, I think they’ve been hoping to get cancelled for maybe 5 or 6 years now. They’ve been doing this a long time.

          But now they’re ENERGIZED. They’re on a MISSION.

          I think they’ll succeed. It’s going to be a blaze of fucking glory and I’m really really glad that they’re doing this instead of Simpsoning.

            For sure. The sentiment from the ending of the episode was that it may be the last episode of South Park.
