The Newest Republican Status Symbol? Being Parodied On South Park.

Comedy Central had planned for South Park to take a hiatus this week, long before the animated show’s 27th season premiered. Which means viewers will have to wait another week to see how creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone choose to lampoon the Trump administration next.

South Park parodied Trump last month in its season 27 premiere, prompting many viewers to note that the show — which has poked fun at both Democrats and Republicans — never mocked President Joe Biden while he was in office, despite having plenty of opportunities to do so.

“The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after ‘South Park’ for what they labeled as ‘offense’ content, but suddenly they are praising the show,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said. “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.”

Unfortunately for the South Park team, the rest of the Trump administration seems to be getting a kick out of the parodies.

The show’s latest episode, “Got a Nut,” includes a parody of Trump and JD Vance. The millennial vice president was thrilled,

“Well, I’ve finally made it,” Vance said in response to one of the clips being posted to X.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized the episode for focusing on mocking her appearance.

“It never ends, but it’s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,” she told Glenn Beck on his podcast the day after the episode aired. “It’s always the liberals and the extremists who do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”

But Noem and her team also embraced the parody. The day before the episode aired, Homeland Security used the show to advertise its ICE recruitment currently underway.

“We want to thank ‘South Park’ for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment,” the agency said in a statement.” We are calling on patriotic Americans to help us remove murderers, gang members, pedophiles, and other violent criminals from our country.”

Later on, Noem tweeted out a screenshot of her South Park “appearance,” along with a link to the ICE recruitment website.

Perhaps disappointed in Noem’s response, earlier this week South Park shared an unaired scene from its latest episode, which portrayed Noem shooting up a pet store.

The same episode depicted the character Eric Cartman impersonating Turning Point USA co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk at a campus event. Cartman takes questions from the crowd as they discuss abortion.

“What makes you think you have the right to say what I do with my body?” a woman asks.

“Let me ask you something. If a pregnant woman is killed and the baby dies too, why is the killer charged with a double homicide?” Cartman replies.

“Well, but because people have different beliefs,” the woman responds.

“It’s not about belief. It’s about truth,” Cartman says. “Science confirms life begins at conception.”

Kirk shared the clip on X and wrote, “Not bad, Cartman,” alongside crying laughing emojis. The TPUSA founder also changed his X profile picture to a screenshot of his South Park caricature.

The episode features school counselor Mr. Mackey being fired from his job and deciding to join Immigration and Customs Enforcement. After being hired by ICE immediately, Mackey watches a recruitment video where Noem shoots dogs, which is a reference to her once discussing killing an “untrainable” family pet.

Mackey later gets invited to Mar-a-Lago, where Trump offers to make him the “new face of Homeland Security.” Trump then brings Mackey into his bedroom and introduces him to Satan, who is reading a book in bed. Vance is also present and depicted as Trump’s short-statured servant.

The Season 27 premiere, “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” also depicted the president having a romantic relationship with Satan.
