South Park continues its bold approach towards Trump criticisms, hinting at upcoming episode content
South Park's 27th Season Continues to Criticize Trump and Parody Charlie Kirk
The 27th season of South Park is generating buzz, with the latest episode set to air on August 6, 2025. The teaser for the upcoming episode has already been released and is receiving positive feedback from Trump critics.
The new teaser features a unique twist, with President Trump cosying up to Satan and Cartman portraying conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Mr Mackey, on the other hand, is depicted as an ICE agent. The episode appears to make fun of both Trump and Kirk, with many YouTube users praising the show for its humour and sharp critique.
One comment reads, "We're laughing at you, not with you," while another asks, "Do you think they did this because they like you?" It seems that the general consensus on YouTube is that the show is not supporting Charlie Kirk, but rather making fun of him.
Charlie Kirk, however, has embraced his portrayal in the show. He described it as a "badge of honor" and proof of the cultural impact of his movement. After seeing the teaser clip where Eric Cartman parodies his campus combative persona, Kirk changed his social media profile picture to the image of Cartman spoofing him.
Kirk thought the teaser might be an AI-generated troll at first, but later embraced it wholeheartedly and indicated he was looking forward to the episode. Despite the criticism, Kirk has not responded publicly.
The season premiere of South Park saw Trump depicted getting naked and threatening to sue an artist. It also featured a "pro-Trump" PSA with a deepfake of the president. The episode also referenced the ongoing controversy surrounding the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers criticized South Park in a statement to Variety, calling it "fourth-rate" and "uninspired." However, the show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, issued a sarcastic apology at the Comic-Con Comedy Central Animation panel.
As the season continues, it seems that South Park will continue to criticize US President Donald Trump in a humorous and satirical manner. The show's ability to tackle controversial topics and poke fun at public figures has made it a staple in pop culture and a source of both entertainment and social commentary.
The new season of South Park, critiquing Trump and parodying Charlie Kirk, has led YouTube users to praise the show for its humor and sharp critique. Charlie Kirk, despite initial skepticism, has embraced his portrayal in the show and even updated his social media profile picture to reflect the parody.
Amidst this, South Park continues to establish itself as a key player in pop-culture, using social media to engage with celebrities and satirize pop-culture phenomena, further blending entertainment and social commentary.
