- “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone satirize former President Donald Trump and Paramount Global in the Season 27 premiere.
- The episode depicts Trump engaged in controversial activities, mirroring the portrayal of Saddam Hussein in the 1999 “South Park” movie.
- New episodes of “South Park” air Wednesdays on Comedy Central and stream the following day on Paramount+.
The irreverent animated show “South Park” has been slaughtering beloved and hated topics alike — and the same small boy — for over a quarter of a century.
With the premiere of its 27th season, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone came out swinging against both the company that just promised them a lot of money and the leader of the free world with possibly their most controversial show yet.
The episode depicts President Donald Trump suing the tiny town of South Park when its parents resist “anti-woke” policies, threatening anyone who isn’t sufficiently pro-Trump, and literally getting into bed naked with Satan. In the show, Trump is shown using actual photos of his head stuck on an animated body. Longtime fans will recognize it: it’s the same way the show depicted former Iraq leader Saddam Hussein in 1999’s “South Park” movie. Satan even notices the resemblance.
“You remind me more and more of this other guy I used to date,” he said. “Like, a lot. Like, you guys are exactly alike.”
The show also skewers their new boss and its controversial decisions to pay Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit and to cancel the popular CBS talk show “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” where Colbert nightly roasts the president. Ironically, just hours after the premiere, Paramount announced a $1.5 billion, 5-year agreement to bring all 27 seasons of the long-running series to its Paramount+ streaming platform, along with 50 new episodes.

After the show triggered widespread shock, glee and outrage (and condemnations from Trump and the White House), the creators “apologized” the next day, “We’re terribly sorry,” Parker said with a sly grin at a Comedy Central’s Comic-Con animation panel next to Stone.
