South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone revealed in an interview this week that the famed animated comedy show will do something that it has never done before — go an entire year without releasing any new episodes.
The duo told Vanity Fair that the show would not return for its 27th season until 2025 as they wait for &#8220;Paramount to figure all their s**t out,&#8221; meaning they won&#8217;t do any episodes on the upcoming election.
They indicated they were tired of satirizing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and are passing up doing more episodes on Trump &#8220;on purpose.&#8221;

&#8220;We’ve tried to do South Park through four or five presidential elections, and it is such a hard thing to—it’s such a mind scramble, and it seems like it takes outsized importance,” Stone said. “Obviously, it’s f**king important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun. I don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump.”
They said that it&#8217;s a lot more fun for them to stick to producing the kind of classic material that made the show great in the first place. “It’s just way more fun to be like, Oh, Cartman’s going to dress up like a robot,” Stone said.
The show has always premiered a new season every year it has been on air, dating back to 1997. In recent years, it has also released specials on Paramount+ and Comedy Central.

They said that while culture has shifted because TikTok, the social media app that critics say is controlled by communist China, has incentivized short-form videos, they still see tremendous value in “writing a story and building a frame so that you can do more complicated stuff.”
“We’re the Rolling Stones, man—we’re trying to get out five, six nights a year,” Stone says. “We could do more, but I don’t think it’d be better.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lizzo">Lizzo</a> filmed herself watching an episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/south-park">South Park</a>” which referenced her as being the antithesis of weight loss drugs.
The 36-year-old singer, who has made herself a poster child for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/body-positivity">body positivity</a> movement, shared a “blind duet” reaction to her inclusion on the show. “Guys, my worst fear has been actualized. I’ve been referenced in a South Park episode,” she began in a TikTok video posted on Sunday.
The episode focused on the popularity of semaglutide drugs like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ozempic">Ozempic</a> and Monjaro for weight loss. “South Park: The End of Obesity” debuted on May 24.

&#8220;I’m so scared,” she said as the clip started playing.
In the episode, Sharon and Sheila, moms of characters Stan and Kyle, are discussing using weight loss drugs. Sharon says her doctor would not prescribe her medication like Ozempic because she doesn’t have diabetes. Sheila responded by asking how she’s managing her weight if she’s not using those drugs.
“Don’t you know, Sheila?&#8221; Sharon says. &#8220;Now, there’s a whole new obesity drug for those of us who can’t afford Ozempic and Mounjaro.&#8221;
“I controlled all my cravings to be thinner with Lizzo,&#8221; she says, at which point Lizzo makes a surprised face while reacting to the clip.
A commercial for the fictional drug Lizzo starts playing, including a parody of the song from the Ozempic commercial. Sharon makes it clear that the drug doesn’t do anything besides make the user not care about being overweight. 
The faux commercial says Lizzo “makes you feel good about your weight — and it costs 90% less than Ozempic.”
“I’ve lowered my standards and my expectations,” Sharon says, while the real Lizzo continues reacting with shock at the bit.

“70% of patients on Lizzo no longer care how much they weigh,” the fake drug commercial narrator continues. The ad also warns about listening to Lizzo’s music, causing her to say, “Not the f***ing album!” as the commercial cuts to an image of someone bleeding from the ears after listening to her songs. 
The commercial concludes with Sharon saying, “Ask about the power of not giving a f*** with Lizzo.”
&#8220;I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f*** to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f*** I am, and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years,” Lizzo said in conclusion as part of her reaction.
“And I’m gonna keep on showing you how to not give a f***,” she added.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk">Elon Musk</a> on Tuesday reacted to recent remarks from &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/star-wars">Star Wars: The Acolyte&#8221;</a> creator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yet-another-star-wars-show-wants-to-challenge-the-story-this-is-about-power">Leslye Headland</a> about her new Disney+ show, calling them &#8220;crazier than the &#8216;South Park&#8217; parody.&#8221;
Musk took to <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1770169640926277928">X</a> and commented on an old clip of the director/showrunner talking about watching &#8220;Frozen&#8221; as an adult and was captivated by &#8220;the concept of true love being between two sisters and not a heterosexual relationship. She said it &#8220;inspired&#8221; her to create a similar story that her parents would have allowed her to watch when she was a younger &#8220;queer&#8221; person.
&#8220;Reality is actually crazier than the South Park parody!” Musk wrote, referencing a &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gina-carano-skewers-disneys-kathleen-kennedy-over-hilarious-south-park-send-up">South Park&#8221;</a> episode that torched the President of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, for recent Disney box office flops, specifically &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; movies that have had little to no connection to the original trilogy.
In the episode titled &#8220;Joining the Panderverse,&#8221; Kennedy is ripped for recycling successful films but replacing the characters with minorities. 
The <a href="https://x.com/ginacarano/status/1718115256055267802?s=20">clip</a> shows one part of the episode where a group of Disney executives tell CEO Bob Iger, &#8220;We don&#8217;t understand it, sir. We keep making the same movie over and over and pandering to everyone, but suddenly it&#8217;s not working.&#8221;

Iger replied, &#8220;Then we&#8217;ve got to pander harder!&#8221; 
&#8220;The Acolyte&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yet-another-star-wars-show-wants-to-challenge-the-story-this-is-about-power">director</a> recently talked about how her new Sith-focused series isn&#8217;t going to be like what fans have seen in shows like &#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; or &#8220;Andor.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Headland said her new series looks &#8220;at the Jedi as an institution, as a concept, as an entity that has amassed a lot of power. And that&#8217;s good, I&#8217;m not saying that&#8217;s wrong.&#8221;
&#8220;But I do think that when Jodie Turner-Smith has that line at the end of the trailer, when she says, &#8216;It&#8217;s not about good or bad, this is about power and who&#8217;s allowed to use it,&#8217; really I think that&#8217;s the question we’re asking,&#8221; she added. &#8220;That&#8217;s really the question. It&#8217;s not, &#8216;Is somebody good, is somebody bad?&#8217; There&#8217;s an imbalance.&#8221;
&#8220;Someone might be imbalanced morally, but if there&#8217;s a power imbalance, how does that affect the power of Star Wars?&#8221; the director continued. &#8220;And we&#8217;ve never seen the good guys outnumber the bad guys to this extent. I guess that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s different.&#8221;

“South Park” doesn’t believe in half measures.
The Comedy Central series has been delivering brutal takedowns since its very first season.
The pandemic. Trans athletes. The King of Pop. Paris Hilton. Jesse Jackson. PC gone wild. Name the subject, and chances are Stan, Kenny, Kyle, and Cartman have tackled it, sans apology.
The following eight episodes offer “South Park” unleashed. Pity the targets of the show’s satirical cudgel. They may never recover from the animated tongue lashing.
<h2>1. “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson” &#8211; Season 11, episode 1</h2>
<div id="attachment_655151" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-655151" class="size-large wp-image-655151" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Picture1-sp-jjackson-1024x576.jpg" alt="IMDB.

Stan Marsh&#8217;s father, Randy, accidentally says the &#8220;n-word&#8221; as a contestant on &#8220;Wheel of Fortune.&#8221; He&#8217;s quickly branded a racist, and the reverberations fall on both his son and the boys&#8217; elementary school.
The episode mocks Jackson for pretending to be the embodiment of black America while initiating a tough conversation about race and the word in question.
It&#8217;s blunt satire, full stop, and an example of how &#8220;South Park&#8221; is willing to explore complicated issues from various angles. It&#8217;s not a lecture, and the laughs are both consistent and, often, uncomfortable.

<h2>2. &#8220;Board Girls&#8221; Season 23, Episode 7</h2>

IMDB.</div>
It’s the episode even “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone may not be able to get away with today given the trans community’s rage against criticism.
The episode aired in 2019 before the trans issue flared up across the country. Vice Principal Strong Woman announces she’s entering a Strong Woman competition, in part, to inspire female students to be empowered. She’s upstaged by a biological man who transitioned to womanhood mere weeks ago.
And the trans athlete happens to look and sound like Randy “Macho Man” Savage, the wrestling icon from the ‘80s and ‘90s.
Chaos ensues, naturally, with the storyline echoing future conversations about trans athletes and biological differences. Clips from the episode went viral earlier this year, connecting the 2019 satire with modern conversations on the topic.
<h2>3. &#8220;The Worldwide Privacy Tour&#8221; Season 26, Episode 2</h2>
<div id="attachment_655093" style="width: 917px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-655093" class="size-large wp-image-655093" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Picture1-HMeg-907x576.jpg" alt="IMDB.

The couple known by their first names, Harry and Meghan, enjoy a rarefied space in pop culture. Mock the duo relentlessly and suffer the consequences. Just ask Piers Morgan, who did just that and <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-61105178" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lost a high-profile gig with “Good Morning Britain.”</a>
“South Park” turned that cultural protection racket on its head.
The episode features a Canadian royal couple who wish to be left alone. And they’ll shout their wishes from the rooftops until every living soul hears them. It’s obviously Harry and Meghan, and the secondary plot involving a quest for victimhood makes the comedy bite even harder.
After the episode aired we learned about Meghan Markle’s <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/19/meghan-markle-faked-podcast-interviews-her-voice-added-later-sources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dubious podcasting tics</a>, a story that may not have been told if “South Park” hadn’t made it culturally acceptable to do so. Her feminist podcast <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spotify-cancels-second-season-of-meghan-markles-feminist-archetypes-podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ended after just one season.</a> 
<h2>4. “The Jeffersons” Season 8, Episode 6</h2>
<div id="attachment_655107" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-655107" class="size-full wp-image-655107" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Picture1-sp-jeff.jpg" alt="IMDB.

South Park.</div>
What if the biggest pop star on the planet moved to South Park? Even more improbable? An animated series skewers him in ways many were thinking but couldn’t discuss in polite society.
Yes, the Mr. Jefferson in question is a Michael Jackson stand-in, complete with a child named Blanket. The new neighbor can’t connect with adults and dresses like Peter Pan for his young South Park friends.
When the adults accuse him of oddball behavior he cries, “that’s ignorant” in a high-pitched whine. Later, Mr. Jefferson’s face begins to crumble after one too many plastic surgeries.
We all knew about Jackson’s eccentricities, but “South Park” lined them all up for our inspection in one withering, 30-minute broadside. 
A subplot, riffing on the O.J. Simpson case, finds local police trying to frame Mr. Jefferson because he’s wealthy and black. Satire atop satire, and all of it stings. 
<h2>5. “ManBearPig” Season 10, Episode 6</h2>
<div id="attachment_655111" style="width: 651px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-655111" class="size-large wp-image-655111" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Picture1-SP-al-gore-641x576.jpg" alt="IMDB.

South Park.</div>
Former Vice President Al Gore’s climate change mantras are rarely, if ever, questioned in the media. He’s considered an oracle on the subject, even though he’s <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/20/al-gores-eco-friendly-investment-firm-owns-shares-in-polluting-companies-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">profited off his declarations</a> and some of his predictions have been less than accurate.
“South Park” mocked him all the same.
The episode finds an animated Al Gore tracking down the evil ManBearPig, a creature which feasts on innocent humans. It’s clearly a metaphor for Climate Change, and the episode depicts Gore as an attention seeker first and foremost.
Few, if any, satirists approached Gore in such a fashion before or after the episode.
<h2>6. “Joining the Panderverse” 326th stand-alone episode </h2>
<div id="attachment_655121" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-655121" class="size-large wp-image-655121" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Picture1-sp-yes-1024x576.jpg" alt="IMDB.

South Park.</div>
Parker and Stone pay homage to countless YouTubers who have been calling out Kathleen Kennedy’s disastrous Disney tenure. She’s been behind the wheel as “Star Wars,” the MCU, and “Indiana Jones” took sizable stumbles.
The episode finds Cartman dreaming of an alternate universe where he and his buddies are swapped out for diverse versions of themselves.
It gets meaner.
Cartman boils down the Kennedy ethos into a phrase sure to become as ubiquitous as “yada yada yada” and “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” from “Seinfeld.”
“Put a chick in it and make her gay!”
<h2>7 &amp; 8. “Cartoon Wars Parts I &amp; II” Season 10, episodes 3 and 4 </h2>
<div id="attachment_655123" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-655123" class="size-large wp-image-655123" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Picture-sp1-1024x576.jpg" alt="IMDB.

The show featured a bizarre cross-promotion with FOX’s “Family Guy” sitcom. The latter plans to show a character based on Islamic Prophet Muhammad, sending the town of South Park into a frenzy.
Could the series spark violence in the Colorado town or elsewhere?
The two-part episode matters for several reasons. Parker and Stone took the free speech fight into the public arena, coming after the attacks against a Danish newspaper for publishing a cartoon image of the Prophet.
Plus, it’s rare to see Parker and Stone lose a public fight with Comedy Central. The channel opted not to show the Muhammad character illustrated for the series, showing a black screen when the image was supposed to appear. Later, these episodes and several more with <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/06/south-park-episodes-missing-hbo-max-prophet-muhammad-1202969280/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">similar themes have been yanked from various streaming platforms.</a>

8 Scorching ‘South Park’ Episodes That Left A Mark

Woke Culture

Critical mass is a tricky thing. You can’t make it happen by sheer force of will or by dropping a viral video at just the right moment.
The mad scientists at “South Park?” The folks behind the Comedy Central series can muster it with one perfectly timed episode.
The enduring creation of Trey Parker and Matt Stone has a knack for sharing thoughts we’re all having on challenging subjects we’re too shy to share in public.
Once the show’s foul-mouthed lads have a crack at it, suddenly it’s acceptable to speak on it loud and clear.

They did just that earlier this year with “The World-Wide Privacy Tour,” an episode featuring Canadian royalty who looked and sounded just like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Cultural voices had struggled to critique Harry and Meghan up until then, fearing a similar backlash to what British pundit Piers Morgan faced for defying the royal couple.
Morgan lost a lucrative gig with “Good Morning Britain” for suggesting Meghan wasn’t telling the whole truth about the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/01/world/europe/piers-morgan-meghan.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alleged racism</a> she faced within the royal family and her suicidal thoughts.
The fiery pundit faced an investigation into the comments as well. It wasn’t worth it for other high-profile voices to weigh in on the former “Suits” star.
Cartman and co. had no such fears. And, after South Park’s “Privacy Tour,” it was open season on the royals. The commentary dam had broken. Suddenly, we began to hear stories about how <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/19/meghan-markle-faked-podcast-interviews-her-voice-added-later-sources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissive Meghan Markle was</a> about her podcast gig, for example.
One brilliantly satirical episode made that happen.
We just saw something similar with the premiere of “Joining the Panderverse.” The “South Park”special episode skewered Disney executive Kathleen Kennedy for pushing woke on many Mouse House products, including movie reboots like the short-lived shows “National Treasure: Edge of History” and “Willow,” and franchise extensions like “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”.
It also mocked Hollywood’s aggressive diversity mandates, where classic characters are routinely race-swapped in the name of progress and equity.

YouTubers and Right-leaning influencers have said as much repeatedly over the past few years, but the subject was mostly off-limits to mainstream journalists. Or, if the topic came up, journalists would dismiss it as the ravings of “right wing trolls.”
Suddenly, the hilarious “South Park” satire had even <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/south-park-disney-kathleen-kennedy-gina-carano-1235632407/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter weighing in</a> on the topic, exposing it to readers who may not follow the aforementioned YouTube stars. The news site even quoted Gina Carano, the “Terror on the Prairie” star who was famously fired for sharing opinions that clashed with her far-Left industry, in the process.
The magazine wouldn’t share Carano’s views on the subject under normal conditions. When “South Park” brought the issues up, however, it forced the outlet to expand its coverage.
Plus, viewers who never made the connection between inferior Disney content and Kennedy, a veteran Hollywood executive, suddenly did just that.
None of this is new for “South Park.”
The series, which began in 1997, routinely hits controversial subjects sans fear or regret. “The Jeffersons” episode skewered pop superstar Michael Jackson all the way back in 2004, offering an unflinching perspective on the icon’s relationship with young children and plastic surgery overkill.
Even longtime Jackson fans worried about his mental state and accusations of improper behavior with children. “South Park” shouted it from the Comedy Central rooftop, and the public could now reference the series as a portal into difficult conversations around the King of Pop.
The show introduced its “PC Principal” character in 2015, several years before the woke mindset took hold in both Hollywood and the culture at large. The character’s virtue signaling, combined with an aggressive mien that took no prisoners, captured what many would soon fear about the far-Left movement.
Some “South Park” fans even embraced that episode’s title, “Stunning and Brave,” to describe woke theatrics meant to inspire applause (or else…), such as declaring trans star Caitlyn Jenner in such fawning fashion.
Sometimes the “South Park” magic doesn’t happen overnight.
The prime example is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/south-park-satirizes-transgender-athletes-beating-strong-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 2019 “Board Girls” episode</a> which skewers trans female athletes competing against biological women. The show featured a Randy “Macho Man” Savage-inspired character who becomes a trans woman and crushes the competition.
“I’m not here to talk about my transition, I’m here to kick some f***ing a**,” the character, who transitioned two weeks prior, says.

IMDB.</div>
The installment drew some <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/south-park-mocks-trans-athletes-1254732/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mild media heat</a> at the time, but hardly as much as if it had come out this year or last.
Ironically, a clip from the episode went viral a few months ago, with even “The Clay and Buck Show” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubKWk87fuyQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bringing it up</a> on their nationally syndicated radio show.
How does “South Park” do it? The series carved a unique niche in pop culture, one that gives it leeway in the raging culture wars. It’s been outrageous for so long that people no longer judge it like other Hollywood content.
It’s just “South Park” being “South Park.”
That, plus the crude and cutesy animation, help it steer clear of cancel culture’s clutches. It helps that the show hits both sides of the cultural and political aisle, to, leaving no one safe from its satire.
The “Panderverse” episode poked fun at conservatives who cry “woke” at every opportunity, for example.
Best of all? Parker and Stone aren’t interested in apologizing for their past “offenses.” Why apologize for sharing what the rest of us already think?

‘South Park’ Says What We’re All Thinking (Again)

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gina-carano-reacts-after-seeing-emotional-sound-of-freedom-film-calls-on-everyone-to-see-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gina Carano</a> absolutely skewered the president of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy in response to what she called a &#8220;hilarious episode&#8221; of &#8220;South Park&#8221; that blamed the executive for recent Disney box office flops.
In a lengthy post on <a href="https://x.com/ginacarano/status/1718115256055267802?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a>, the 41-year-old actress — who was dropped by Disney in February 2021 over social media posts the company deemed offensive — praised the latest episode from &#8220;South Park&#8221; creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker titled &#8220;Joining the Panderverse.&#8221; In the episode, Kennedy is destroyed for taking successful films and recycling them except with minority women and woke characters.
The clip shows one part of the episode in which a group of Disney executives tell Disney CEO Bob Iger, &#8220;We don&#8217;t understand it, sir. We keep making the same movie over and over and pandering to everyone, but suddenly it&#8217;s not working.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Iger replied, &#8220;Then we&#8217;ve got to pander harder!&#8221; The episode&#8217;s version of Kennedy later shared that Iger had showed them an ancient Disney artifact, called the &#8220;panderstone,&#8221; that will make the &#8220;same movie over and over again while appealing to everyone.&#8221; However, it turned out Kennedy turned the stone too many times and ended up tearing a hole in the multiverse.
&#8220;This is the part where KK[Kennedy] demands any YouTubers get censored off of YouTube for sharing and laughing at this hilarious episode,&#8221; Carano wrote in response to the clip.
&#8220;She&#8217;ll [Kennedy] have YouTube disable the thumbs down option because of the ratio she&#8217;ll receive, then she&#8217;ll have her publicist ghouls make sure Variety and Hollywood Reporter run hit pieces about the South Park creators and their families smearing their names through every useful idiot she has under her thumb who would sell their soul to work for Lucas film,&#8221; she added.
&#8220;She&#8217;ll activate her online mob to repeat that the South Park creators are racist, bigot, transphobes, and demand the South Park creators publicly apologize by only using words she approves of and finally she&#8217;ll demand they subject themselves to a re-education course of 45 people in the LBGTQ community zoom call to sit there and listen of how badly they got their feelings hurt all over a little boop of a South Park episode,&#8221; Carano continued.
&#8220;Maybe just maybe the jig is up,&#8221; Carano concluded her post.
After being dropped by Disney, Carano&#8217;s first feature film was with The Daily Wire — &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/with-terror-on-the-prairie-gina-carano-takes-on-the-entertainment-establishment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terror On The Prairie</a>.&#8221; The film marked the epic comeback for the former star after she was cut from Lucasfilm&#8217;s popular series &#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; over several social media posts that were called offensive by some.

Prince Harry told a trauma expert in an interview that aired over the weekend that he does not view himself as a &#8220;victim,&#8221; which comes just a couple of weeks after he and his wife Meghan Markle were mocked on &#8220;South Park.&#8221;
The episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” mocked both royal figures by showing thinly veiled stand-ins for the couple, “The Prince and Princess of Canada,” who claim they seek a life of privacy while seemingly trying to inject themselves into the public spotlight.
“I certainly don’t see myself as a victim,” Harry told Dr. Gabor Maté on Saturday while discussing his book. “I’m really grateful to be able to share my story in the hopes that it will help, empower, encourage others and, hopefully, let people understand — again back to the human experience — [that] we are in some shape and form all connected, especially through trauma.&#8221;
“I know how important it is to share these stories; how you can save a life and improve lives because you’re almost giving people permission to talk about their own stuff and be themselves,” he added.
“I do not and have never looked for sympathy in this,” he added in an apparent reference to the South Park episode.
Markle, Duchess of Sussex, was reportedly furious over how the couple was portrayed in the episode. A source told the Spectator that the Duchess of Sussex was “upset and overwhelmed” by the show’s mockery of the couple and that she “refuses to watch it all” because of how “annoyed” she is by the whole situation.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The New York Post reported that a royal commentator said the couple could pursue legal action over the episode, although that has not materialized.
“According to sources close to the ex-royals, it appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal ramifications attached,” royal reporter Neil Sean said. “Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.”

“This appears to be their course of action rather than laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world that they get the joke and understand this is how they may be perceived, and maybe, dare we say, change … dare we?” he continued. “The makers of ‘South Park’ have, as yet, received nothing but I am told they are aware of this and have nothing to fear, simply because they have the legals all over this and know they could not have broadcast it without the watertight details flattened out.”
However, a spokesperson for the couple said that claims that the couple was pursuing legal action were “baseless and boring.”
The Daily Mail noted that the statement from the spokesperson did not address claims that the couple’s lawyers were actively monitoring the show for future attacks, nor did the statement address reports that Markle was angered by the episode.

Prince Harry To Talk About Struggles With ‘Trauma Expert’ Following ‘South Park’ Skewering

Prince Harry To Talk About Struggles With ‘Trauma Expert’ Following 'South Park' Skewering

Royal Family

The satirical, irreverent, oftentimes offensive adult cartoon “South Park” has been trending recently because it dared to make fun of the transgender movement. This led to many social media users wondering if the show is secretly conservative or, at the very least, if the writers are willing to take a sane approach to hot-button social issues.
Fans started circulating a few clips highlighting the madness of the trans movement and the people involved in it.
One of the more popular scenes from a 2005 episode of the show paints the character Mr. Garrison (who is on a mission to become Mrs. Garrison) as delusional and oblivious. It’s the sort of content that would never get approved in today’s political climate.
The episode “Mr. Garrison’s Fancy New Vagina” first aired on March 9, 2005, per IMDb. In it, the quirky teacher heads to a Planned Parenthood clinic to procure an abortion after he realizes he hasn’t gotten his period following a gender reassignment procedure. The episode also reveals some brutal truths about abortion.
“Looks like I need an abortion,” Garrison tells the Planned Parenthood doctor, who responds in confusion, “An abortion?”
“Yeah I’ve got one growing inside me, now are you going to scramble its brains or just vacuum it out? If you want you can just scramble it, and I’ll q**** it out myself,” Garrison tells the doctor.
The doctor explains to Mr. Garrison that he’s “physically unable to have an abortion because you can’t get pregnant,” following up with, “You can’t have periods either, you had a sex change Mr. Garrison, but you don’t have ovaries or a womb, you don’t produce eggs.”
“You mean … I’ll never know what it feels like to have a baby growing inside me, and then scramble its brains and vacuum it out?” Mr. Garrison asks.
“That’s right,” the doctor replies.
Mr. Garrison says, “But I paid $5,000 to be a woman, this would mean I’m not really a woman, I’m just a guy with a mutilated penis.”
Like so many other characters on “South Park,” Garrison is complicated and often self-contradictory. He is portrayed as a gay man who eventually goes through the process of “becoming a woman,” then attempts to revert back to being a man. At various points in the show, he dates both men and women, plus exhibits signs of racism and homophobia.
In the same episode, Kyle gets surgery to become tall and black so he can play basketball and Kyle’s dad Gerald gets talked into surgery to become a dolphin. 
“There’s nothing crazy about a person wanting to look on the outside the way they feel on the inside,” the doctor says while trying to convince Gerald to get the procedure.
Casual fans of the show and people who never watched it before want to know if Garrison and the others are some thinly veiled conservative rant against the trans agenda from way back in 2005. There’s not a black-and-white answer to that. But the show is masterful at pointing out absurdities even decades before those ideas became mainstream.
One of the most popular aspects of the show is its ability to mock everyone, including both the Left and Right. Unsurprisingly, “South Park” creators insist that the show doesn’t take sides politically; they just hate everyone. But critics had been noticing the show’s tendency to mock liberals more than conservatives for years, which led to terms like “South Park conservative” and “South Park Republican.”
The animated sitcom was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and remains one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated programs ever. “South Park” follows four grade-school boys — Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick — as they grow up in a small Colorado town. 
It features copious amounts of profanity, dark humor, and frank satire. Parker and Stone say “Monty Python” was one of their main sources of inspiration for the show, which premiered back in 1997. Since it began, there have been 321 episodes (including television films) of “South Park” spanning 26 seasons.
Every time a modern show or movie mocks Christianity, critics inevitably bring up a glaring fact: they do it to Jesus, but they’d never show the same disrespect to the Muslim prophet Muhammad. But for “South Park,” that’s not technically true. The series was boycotted after making fun of Mormons, Scientologists, Catholics, and Jewish people over the years, but then they did the one thing that’s almost never done. They took a risk by targeting Muslims.
An image of Muhammad was shown in the episode &#8220;Super Best Friends&#8221; (2001). Then in 2010, Parker and Stone took on the topic again in the episode titled “201.” Before the episode aired, the NYPD increased security at the Comedy Central headquarters as a response to threats the network received. The network wound up censoring images of Muhammad with a black “censored” box, despite the creators disagreeing with the decision.
“That was one of my most disappointing moments as an American; the American press&#8217;s reaction to the Muhammad cartoons. It was completely wimpy,&#8221; Stone <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/matt-stone-trey-parker-ar_n_475744">told</a> The Huffington Post in April 2010.
&#8220;Cartoonists, people who do satire — we&#8217;re not in the army, we&#8217;re never going to be f***king drafted and this is our time to stand up and do the right thing. And to watch the New York Times, Comedy Central, everybody just go &#8216;No, we&#8217;re not going to do it because basically we&#8217;re afraid of getting bombed&#8217; sucked. I was so disappointed.&#8221;
Stone summed up his feelings succinctly in 2005, saying, &#8220;I hate conservatives, but I really f***ing hate liberals.&#8221; This type of sentiment led critics to dub the “South Park” creators as likely libertarians.
The duo also mentioned that making fun of liberals is fun because it’s more taboo and no one else does it. It’s like making fun of Muhammad, in that way. 
&#8220;Ripping on Republicans is not that fun for us only because everyone else does it,&#8221; Stone told The Huffington Post. &#8220;It&#8217;s so much more fun for us to rip on liberals only because nobody else does it, and not because we think liberals are worse than Republicans.”
They enjoy mocking celebrities most of all, which has the show in sharp focus all over again as the latest episode absolutely skewered Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
&#8220;There&#8217;s something uniquely aggravating about the smugness of liberal Hollywood,&#8221; Stone said in 2010. &#8220;You have to laugh at Alec Baldwin when he gets political. You have to. He is an amazing actor, he may even be a great guy, but that s*** is funny. Sean Penn getting on TV on CNN and talking about politics … that&#8217;s f***ing funny. And we&#8217;re going to make fun of you, Sean Penn.&#8221;
One of the latest “South Park” episodes features “the Prince of Canada and his wife,” who are meant to represent Harry and Meghan.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/south-park-rips-harry-and-meghan-fake-privacy-tour-scores-new-fans-across-the-pond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” the Canadian prince and his wife — who look similar to Harry and Markle — go on a worldwide “we want our privacy” tour following a book tour for his tell-all memoir “Waaaagh.” Meanwhile, the Princess of Canada is described as a “sorority girl, actress, influencer, victim.”
Rumors were floating around that the real Harry and Meghan might sue the show for hurting their feelings. However, a spokesperson for the Sussexes <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/feb/22/baseless-nonsense-meghan-and-harry-wont-sue-south-park-for-mocking-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> those reports were “all frankly nonsense,” as well as “totally baseless” and “boring.”

Meghan Markle is furious over how she and her husband, Prince Harry, were portrayed in a recent episode of &#8220;South Park&#8221; on Comedy Central, according to a new report.
The episode, titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” mocks both royal figures by showing thinly veiled stand-ins for the couple, &#8220;The Prince and Princess of Canada,&#8221; claim that they are seeking a life of privacy while they seemingly try to inject themselves into the public spotlight.
A source <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/21/meghan-markle-upset-and-overwhelmed-by-south-park-episode/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Spectator that the Duchess of Sussex was “upset and overwhelmed” by the show&#8217;s mockery of the couple and that she “refuses to watch it all” because of how &#8220;annoyed&#8221; she is by the whole situation.

The New York Post reported that a royal commentator said that the couple could pursue legal action over the episode.
“According to sources close to the ex-royals, it appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal ramifications attached,&#8221; royal reporter Neil Sean <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/why-prince-harry-meghan-markle-will-not-sue-south-park-lawsuit-1782414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister.&#8221;
&#8220;This appears to be their course of action rather than laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world that they get the joke and understand this is how they may be perceived, and maybe, dare we say, change … dare we?&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The makers of &#8216;South Park&#8217; have, as yet, received nothing but I am told they are aware of this and have nothing to fear, simply because they have the legals all over this and know they could not have broadcast it without the watertight details flattened out.&#8221;
However, a spokesperson for the couple said that claims that the couple was pursuing legal action were &#8220;baseless and boring.&#8221;

Meghan Markle Furious Over ‘South Park’ Mocking Her And Prince Harry In Episode: Report

A clip from a 2005 episode of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/south-park">South Park</a>” has been making the rounds on social media for mocking <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">transgender</a> ideology and giving a surprisingly honest description of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion">abortion</a>, too.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/television">episode</a> &#8220;Mr. Garrison&#8217;s Fancy New Vagina&#8221; first aired on March 9, 2005, per IMDb. It features the character Mr. Garrison heading to a Planned Parenthood clinic to procure an abortion after he realizes he hasn’t gotten his period following a gender reassignment surgery procedure.
“Looks like I need an abortion,” Garrison tells the Planned Parenthood doctor, who responds in confusion, “An abortion?”
&#8220;Yeah I’ve got one growing inside me, now are you going to scramble its brains or just vacuum it out? If you want you can just scramble it, and I’ll q**** it out myself,&#8221; the character tells the doctor.
The doctor explains to Mr. Garrison that he’s &#8220;physically unable to have an abortion because you can’t get pregnant,&#8221; following up with, &#8220;You can’t have periods either, you had a sex change Mr. Garrison, but you don’t have ovaries or a womb, you don’t produce eggs.
“You mean… I’ll never know what it feels like to have a baby growing inside me, and then scramble its brains and vacuum it out?” Mr. Garrison asks.
“That’s right,” the doctor replies.
Mr. Garrison says, &#8220;But I paid $5,000 to be a woman, this would mean I’m not really a woman, I’m just a guy with a mutilated penis.&#8221;
Reactions to the clip believe this brief exchange perfectly sums up the absurdity of the trans movement.
“In one minute and 25 seconds, [SouthPark] said all the things we aren’t allowed to say about trans ‘women’ and abortions,” one commenter shared.

&#8220;Here’s South Park mocking the insane idea that men can actually become women. This clip is from 2005,” Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon wrote. “It&#8217;s a brutally honest take on the callous savagery of abortion, too. We need more mockery like this.”
At the same time, <a href="https://twitter.com/SwipeWright/status/1627900958410739713">another clip</a> of &#8220;South Park&#8221; character Cartman pretending to be transgender so he could use the girls bathroom has also been circulating. That one comes from a 2014 episode where educators knew Cartman was lying about identifying as trans, but Mr. Garrison pointed out that there was nothing they could do about it.

1998 “Kenny”, “Cartman”, “Kyle”, and “Stan” are the characters in the hit series “South Park.”

&#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/south-park" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Park</a>&#8221; has just picked up another nation full of fans with its brutal takedown of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their apparent thirst for attention even while demanding &#8220;priva-sah.&#8221;
The latest &#8220;South Park&#8221; episode is titled, &#8220;The World-Wide Privacy Tour&#8221; and features &#8220;the Prince of Canada and his wife,” who were clearly modeled after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
During the episode, the Canadian prince and his wife — who look similar to Harry and Markle — go on a worldwide &#8220;we want our privacy&#8221; tour following a book tour for his tell-all memoir &#8220;Waaaagh,&#8221; The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11756953/South-Park-aims-Meghan-Harry-cartoon-Canadian-prince-princess-yell-want-privacy.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> reported. The cover of the memoir looks similar to that of Harry&#8217;s real-life memoir &#8220;Spare.&#8221; The Markle look-alike then decides the only escape is to move to the small mountain town of South Park, which upsets residents.
The many thinly-veiled swipes at the Sussexes and their constant attacks on the monarchy seems to have earned the animated show new fans in the United Kingdom, with the latest episode being one of the top trending items across the pond.
One person tweeted that the show &#8220;makes fun of Harry and Meghan. As usual, they get it, spot on.&#8221;

They summed up exactly how we all see this annoying duo.&#8221;
https://twitter.com/ETCanada/status/1626263944921841664?s=20
Another praised the creators/writers of the show, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, &#8220;Yo [SouthPark] has the best writers in the game by far!&#8221;
While another shared, &#8220;Big thanks to South Park creating this for us. We deserve a big laugh after all the things they&#8217;ve done. This is the best thing [to] ever happen since the Oprah [interview].&#8221;
