Hours after South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a new five-year overall deal with Paramount Global, the long-running animated series took aim at the networkâs dealings with Trump.
Wednesdayâs Season 27 premiere showed the twice-impeached president complaining about the size of his manhood in an official painting, then crawling into bed with Satan and trying to be amorous with Beelzebub, who also complains about the size of Trumpâs manhood. And for the record, said manhood is seen (well barely, given its size) multiple times throughout the episode.
Rather than depicting Trump in the South Park style, Parker and Stone use actual photos of the presidentâs face in the animation â lest there be any confusion whom they are referencing.
Fans on social media speculated itâs only a matter of time before Trump sues the show as well. âI give it 15 more minutes before Trump is demanding the cancellation of South Park lmfao,â wrote one viewer on X.
In the episode, titled âSermon on the âMount,â the residents of South Park come together when the kidsâ school principal literally brings Jesus into the classroom. The townâs parents riot.
Earlier, Cartman is upset over the cancellation of NPR, which his mother tells him is Trumpâs doing. He likes the service because he sees the wokeness as comedy.
âThe government canât cancel the show, I mean, what show are they going to cancel next?â says Cartman.
At one point, Satan confronts Trump about rumors heâs on the Epstein list, a topic that sparked Trumpâs lawsuit against Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones and owner Rupert Murdoch.

At another, they take a shot at Paramountâs settlement of Trumpâs lawsuit against 60 Minutes with two nervous-looking anchors intro-ing a segment for the show about the president suing the town South Park itself. Cut to the residents, who say theyâre fighting back against the literal presence of Jesus in their kidsâ school. âWe all know the woke stuff went too far, but the answer isnât going too far the other way,â says one.
Cue Jesus, who comes down from the heavens and tells the townspeople in a whisper, âI didnât want to come back and be at the school, but I had to as part of a lawsuit and the agreementâŠYou guys saw what happened to CBS! You really want to end up like Colbert? You guys gotta stop being stupid.â
A frightened Jesus then goes on to warn the assembled citizens that Trump âhas the power to sue and take bribes and can do anything to anyone.â
The episode ends with a lawyer telling the townsfolk that theyâll need to pay the president $3.5 million and do some âpro-trump messaging.â See clip below.
Following the Season 26 finale in March 2023, Stone and Parker explained to Vanity Fair why, in addition to âwaiting for Paramount to figure all their sh** out,â they werenât in a rush to return to production.
âWeâve tried to do South Park through four or five presidential elections, and it is such a hard thing toâitâs such a mind scramble, and it seems like it takes outsized importance,â said Stone.
Parker added, âObviously, itâs f***ing important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun. I donât know what more we could possibly say about Trump.â
Earlier on Wednesday, Parker and Stone signed a new five-year overall deal with Paramount Global through their company Park County.
Additionally, South Park Digital Studios, the joint venture behind the animated hit co-owned by Paramount and Park County, has entered into an exclusive five-year license deal with Paramount+, reportedly worth $1.5 billion.
The pacts cover 50 new episodes over five seasons and all 26 previous seasons of South Park, which will continue on Comedy Central and be available on Paramount+.
Meanwhile, Paramount is under fire for canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on the heels of the companyâs $16M settlement with Trump, which has been scrutinized as potential bribery by some lawmakers. Following Colbertâs ongoing jokes at the presidentâs expense, Trump has celebrated the talk showâs cancellation.
