“South Park” is back to once again mock President Donald Trump — and this time, Vice President JD Vance, too.
The Comedy Central show took aim at the president, as well as Vance and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in its latest episode, “Got A Nut,” which aired on Aug. 6.
The episode revolves around school counselor Mr. Mackey being fired from his job and, because he’s desperate for money, joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A parody ad for the federal agency mocks its recruitment process, with a jingle declaring, “We don’t ask for experience, just show up!”
Am I the only one just tired of South Park? Cool, they shit on Trump. Like, I don’t know what having him have sex with Satan does.
The dude is funding and facilitating death camps by diverting funds from disaster relief programs.
Our country is two years into directly funding and defending a genocidal state.
I can’t bring myself to care enough to watch what fart and sex jokes the “enlightened centrist” at South Park have to make about it.
I’m just a bitter humourousless old man now I guess.
South Park is one of the most influential television shows in history. It has a massive enough media presence to break international headlines for their content. Shock and disgust is and has always been their presentation.
South Park so explicitly going against the Trump administration in his second term is legitimately an influence on wide public opinion. Simply put, millennial men like South Park. It is widely regarded as being lampooning everyone in an honest way. I dont agree with that, but thats certainly the way a lot of people see it. It holds particularly heavy sway over several demographics.
What I’m saying is that South Park has, and has always had, a real impact on US politics and public opinion. The fact they are coming out with such open and direct attacks against the Trump administration (his first presidency around they used a Proxy character to criticize him, this time its just him) is a sign of a changing tide in public opinion towards the administration. I personally hope they keep going, drag every one of their names through the mud. Itll break headlines every single time, if only because fascists are so vain and sensitive to their image.
Don’t watch it then.
Hey, totally get it. On the other hand, can’t you see that literally everyone else got their nose brown? It’s climatic to see that at least some authors have an audacity to do such show. Not for long though.
Yeah. I am ecstatic South Park exists and is popular, even if I don’t watch it much.
…For now.
Somehow getting banned by the US government would be a crowning achievement.
I look at it as absurdist political humor, just like when they were making fun of Al Gore with ManBearPig and Hilly Clinton with The Snuke. Then there was them roasting the shit out of Saddam Hussein in the movie.
Rehashing Saddam Hussein as Trump was a bit lazy. They could have done better, but it was still entirely unexpected.
Rehashing Hussein as Trump wasn’t lazy, it was to draw a parallel between the 2.
Well…it can be 2 things…It’s not like the guy has Mel Blanc’s range of voices though, makes do with what he has.
A lot more than 2 years, and it really says a lot that you think those 2 are centrists.
See the great part of it, it bruises their tiny little egos
I think it does significantly more for the egos of the people that enjoy “pointing at the problem” but doing nothing about it.
What are you doing about the problem? I’m not a U.S. citizen, so I fold out my chair and make some popcorn.
