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.

PBS FTW, been digging their stuff since I was a toddler watching Sesame Street lol. Their PBS Eons channel (on YT…) is great, when I was watching more video content I enjoyed their streaming service for a range of stuff too, can’t remember what it was called now though.
So yeah give em some bucks folks and watch cool stuff, they really need it.
Australia here. Had to get Paramount+ just to watch this as soon as possible. Stayed up till 1:30 this morning waiting for the season drop. Nothing. Pirated it. Hardest I laughed in a long time. Guess its time to unsub then
I cried laughed when they called him a retarded removed. Multiple times. I had a heart attack of the Ai video at the end.
Removed removed?
The AI video was amazing.
Ya. Lemmy won’t let me post the word F agg ot.
I LOVE The Constitution and Humor (Trump is the FUNNIEST Person on the “Planet”) but Matt Stone and “Trey” Parker need to be DEPORTED for This! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
The extended scene leaves no room for misunderstandings.
I get connection refused on that one
That will directly download for people who don’t realize.
Also, that is in the actual show, it isn’t cut at all. I streamed it a little bit ago.
It looks cut to me. So small it’s hard to tell though.
South Park: Smaller, Shorter, and Cut
Normally don’t like making dick jokes, but they already laid that one out
plays in browser for me
That’s good, went straight to my downloads folder. Android phone, Jerboa app.
Android jerboa here as well, played in browser.
Weird, might be my default browser preference
I use firefox focus for my default if that helps you diagnose.
Thanks yeah I just swapped it to Firefox from Cromite and it played in browser. Cromite has been great for some things and makes me jump through hoops on others it seems. The privacy settings seem so intense that everywhere I look it’s asking me if I’m human, and I’m trying to tell it I’m not a dancer so I must be. I almost moved back to Firefox the other day trying to get privacy pass working so I could bypass cloudflares human checkers, but gave up when it was only for Desktop. The search goes on
OMG, they made it talk!
I’m disappointed they didn’t have him wearing a diaper.
With so much to make fun of him for, it kind of feels tacky to punch down on people that have to wear diapers to me, idk. I don’t think we should make fun of people for medical conditions, that’s a quick slide into making fun of people with disabilities etc.
But on the other hand he’s obviously insecure about it and I’m on board with bullying trump about anything he’s insecure about, so I’m stuck in this ethical quandary here.
There’s a dozen things that you shouldn’t reasonably make fun of. Balding, obesity, swollen ankles, micropenises, incontinence, dementia, and so on. But it’s Trump. If I could think up a slight about him breathing air, and it really pissed him off, I would totally share it.
Sure but maybe the president of the United States shouldn’t be wearing diapers.
Accessibility is important, this isn’t a good look for you, there are 1 million reasons why a person would have to wear one and only two of them is from Drug abuse and poor diet
Thank you. Downloading for posterity.
This gives me a 404.
I should probably be thankful for this.
On one hand, this is pretty ‘leopards ate my face.’ On the other hand, I fully expect them to get their pound of flesh, and then some on this issue.
Update: 9 minutes into this episode. Yup. I approve.
They certainly aren’t blameless in the story of how we got to where we are now, but I do appreciate and think it’s commendable that these two have realized the danger we’re in and changed their tune. It’s not exactly on brand for them to portray anyone real as outright evil besides Streisand and Saddam. Debatably John Edwards
Granted I haven’t watched the show since right before Randy started selling weed so maybe I’m remembering South Park wrong
What do you mean change their tune? They have always made fun of Trump or Mr Garrison.
They championed the cause of the Enlightened Centrist Vaguely Libertarian Bro-Dude for decades. That simply has an effect on the society when you’re creating something as popular as South Park.
Sure, they joined all the other actually rational libertarian bro-types but it turns out there were never that many of those.
I remember this book being pumped for a while there, even - it was called South Park Conservatives.
Honestly the enlightened centrist path doesnt look too shabby when you realize 1. The Corporate class owns american politics 2. Americans are brainwashed beyond belief and 3. The only path to a successful revolution in the US is AFTER the Bonapartist Trumpers break everything anyway (5 to 15+ years)
I dont blame people for saying fuck this and just living their lives. It’s all done now any way, if we held everyone to their past decisions and positions not sure we would gain many comrades nor be progressive in any way.
If you zoom out, trump is actually historically progressive. He is single handedly heightening the crises of capital, proletarianizing the petite bourgeois and lumpen, destroying american influence globally and obliterating faith in bourgeois democracy while simultaneously intensifying the contradictions within society between the propertied class and bourgeoisie and the working masses. Name me a democrat who can do that? Funny tho i can name plenty democrats who deported immigrants, locked up people in jails for nothing, and committed atrocities in the name of capital.
Having watched it without contributing a dime to Paramount, I have to say that was amazing.
Me too. I watched it twice tonight.
The Guardian has contacted the Stone, Parker and the White House for comment.
Nice.
I was sorta wondering how the whole season ended up all on paramount given how they have felt about the distribution but now I get that they wanted it. all of it. to be all on paramount.
Mr Burns finger peaking “Excellent”

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.
This is the 3rd comment I’ve read about South Park being “both sides”.
No shit they are both sides. Everyone is fair game for them, no ones safe from satire or mocking. It’s the whole point of the show.
That said they were duped by the “both sides are flawed” rhetoric for longer than they should have been. A Gen X myopia.
I forget which episode it was where they made it clear they understood they’d been duped, but it was after J6 as I recall.

They pick who to mock and how thoroughly. I haven’t watched the show in probably a decade, but up until this they were using Mr Garrison to portray “Trump”.
Theoretically, nobody’s safe, but in practice anything left of GWB is portrayed as a whiny baby, a stupid hippy, or whatever.
At least they seem to realize that “left wokeism” isn’t the top threat in the country anymore, even if they were suckers for buying that it was in the first place.
Edit: I don’t know what to tell you guys, 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”. They really do seem to believe that because liberals are annoying to them that they’re just as bad as concentration camp Trump.

This sentiment drives me up the fucking wall… No, it didn’t go too far. Shut the fuck up.

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.

Said by their stereotype redneck character that uses slurs every line… use your brain.
Have you considered the way they portray anything right of GWB?
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
Nothing about their comment implies they didn’t get the joke.
It rings hollow when one side is the usual shitty greedy politicians and the other is for fascism.
So in your opinion; greedy shitty politicians should be free from criticism?
Nope! They should be criticized without acting like they’re just like the fascists.
Yes. “Everything is fair game” except for the narcissism of their own Libertarian party.
“both sides are flawed”. Clearly you don’t watch South park.
Giant douche vs turd sandwich?
I need to rewatch the episode to be sure but is it not commenting on how American elections are voting against the worst of two bad options instead of voting for a good candidate? Not “both sides are the same”?
I seem to remember it being a disappointing bothsiderist thing.
I feel like I remember Stan giving a monologue specifically about having to pick between two bad choices though…
Did you hate the Colbert Report for being too conservative too?
Satire is just really confusing for some
Who are the heroes? The people who watch this show
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…
Thanks for letting everyone know you’ve never watched South Park. Your comment can be ignored.
This is how I know you have either never watched South Park, or that you entirely misunderstand the show.
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.
Penn Jillette, who I respect for being a caring and thoughtful person, also took way too long to realize Libertarians were neither.
And their apology episode was very much ‘we would have believed you if you weren’t so annoying, geez, it’s still your fault’
Do you think you have some kind of “gotcha” here or something?
Got tired of trying to explain the logic to people who couldn’t or wouldn’t understand it. For the ones who can, this image is all it takes.
God, you dumb
Just because you can’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s dumb.
