‘South Park’ Team Hilariously Claps Back After Homeland Security Shares Image from New Episode
The Trump Administration recently broke one of the golden rules about dealing with the creators of South Park, never mess with them. This time, Homeland Security posted an image on X from an upcoming episode that shows an ICE raid. Along with the image, they shared a link to a recruitment site for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The official South Park account didn’t hold back. They replied with a sharp and hilarious comment: “Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofd****.” This comeback directly referenced a statement from the White House that criticized the show after its 27th season premiere last month.
The White House had said, “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. 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.”
Earlier in the week, a promo dropped for the second episode of the new season, set to air on August 6. The preview shows a group of masked, armed men in black cars marked “ICE” aggressively storming the streets.
The episode promises to keep the show’s tradition of roasting Donald Trump, with a scene showing the president sitting at a banquet with Satan. In a funny but awkward moment, Trump rubs Satan’s leg under the table, and Satan protests, “Stop.”
Another moment from the preview features Cartman at what looks like a town hall meeting, telling someone to “shut up — because you hate Americans and love abortions.” The episode is called “Got A Nut,” and its official description reveals that Mr. Mackay loses his job and desperately tries to find a new way to make a living. In the preview, he’s shown riding in the back of an ICE raid truck.
This episode follows the huge success of the show’s 27th season premiere, which pulled in nearly 6 million viewers across platforms. It marked the biggest audience share for South Park in 25 years and sparked more social media buzz than any other episode in the show’s history.
The premiere went viral thanks to its bold and unfiltered takedown of Trump, which included an extremely realistic AI-generated scene showing the president wandering through the desert, stripping off his clothes, and revealing a talking pe*is.
What makes all this even more interesting is that Paramount Global, South Park’s parent company, has been making moves to appease the Trump Administration, especially as it tries to close its merger with Skydance. Despite those efforts, South Park continues to push boundaries and doesn’t hold back on its sharp, satirical humor.
The first trailer for ‘SOUTH PARK’ Season 27 has been released.
