“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!”
While I find this season hasn’t been terribly well written or even all that funny, I really enjoy watching these episodes. In this time of instability and chaos, it feels somewhat cathartic to see them just go balls-to-the-wall with their insults on these absolute bastards. On a meta level, they seem to be dropping nuance to get reactions from their targets and even hoping to get sued, perhaps looking to shed light on some hypocrisy in their targets. Or maybe they are just Trey and Matt, frustrated at the current political situation and not inclined to give a fuck anymore. Cartman’s confusion is probably just them acknowledging their difficulty parodying people whose entire life is a farce.
The end credits were a fucking riot, though.
Illegitimi non carborundum.
This episode felt like a south park episode. The first was purely an attack on Trump, which may have been necessary, but it’s not a great episode of south park.
i thought shooting the dog was just a parody
but she did shot a family dog
It’s also the breed my family has had historically. She killed the dog because it was too energetic. She killed the dog because of what it was.
In writing we call that foreshadowing.
She killed the dog because she’s a fucking swivel-eyed psychopath.
And a goat.
She’s demented.
I’m starting to think they’re doing this on purpose.
Man, this “irrelevant show” has been making headlines every week now…
25 minute episode makes a headlines everyday until the next episode comes out which oddly enough isn’t each week because of how culturally relevant the episodes are the fucking president threatened their network.
I don’t know that there’s ever been a more culturally relevant show… Even back when they’re only like three channels.
A good thing for Kristi Noem and me. I would not have known about her methods otherwise.
Release the Epstein files
Noem’s face crawling across the floor was horrifyingly fantastic. And the dogs…
The dogs were intense. Like the detail of each shot. They really wanted to hammer home thay this person is a monster. And i thank them for it.
less horrifying than her actual face
Based on the Substance.
In total, how many puppies were killed? It must have been at least 5.
The credits scene implied a lot more
If it was three shots per kill, at approximately 56 shots, that’s nearly 18.
I feel like this episode was really bad. Unfunny, making fun of random unfunny things, and going away from the plot of the first episode. I hope they do better for the next one
I’m frightened for them. Trump will do something to them and it’ll be brutal
The fuck is he going to do? Raise tarrifs on streaming media?
The biggest most scariest thing he will do is then back track, and then he will have Trey and Matt exactly where he wants them /s
He’s a psychopath and he’s no problem destroying people’s lives. Look what he did to Marie Yovanovitch
Also when Mike Tyson was convicted of rape, Trump lamented that he was going to prison because he was making so much money with his boxing that he could ‘just give lots of money to rape survivors and be done with it’. He really does believe that money beats everything.
He is both powerful, yet impotent. He’s got nothing to get them with, and by “getting them” he would be self owning himself because they are daring him to do it with every animated frame.
They are both worth about a billion dollars. I think they’ll be fine. Consequences are for the poors
Trey and Matt are billionaires now. Technically they should be part of Trunps social circle. They can do whatever the fuck they want.
Eh. It was kinda boring.
It had its moments, but it wasn’t as good as the previous episode, for sure. Acting like all right wing “master debaters” and ICE agents are just doing it for money rather than actually believing the rhetoric was a shit take, too.
I was hoping they were going to have a deepfake Trump PSA every episode after it said “1 of 50.” Guess not.
Best I can do carrying their water is that they’re undermining the goto excuse rightwingers have that it’s just about money.
agreed
they’re paid too much for this bs, being just edgy doesn’t cut it, it has to be smart and somewhat convey a message
I’m a bit worried for the rest of the season, if they’re already doing shitty episodes
First episode was good
OMG SHE KILLED KENNY!
“Pummels”? Is that better or worse that “eviscerates”? What about “skull fucks”?
I love how JD Vance came to the bedroom with Trump and Satan and said ‘would you like me to apply baby oil to zee asshole?’ in a stupid French accent. It was hilarious! Yes I know the whole part was a reference to Fantasy Island, it was hilarious
I keep re-watching that part over and over again cause it’s so damn funny.
The Vance character is fucking hilarious. Herve Villechaize from Fantasy Island is spot on. Also the eyeliner, fat checks and Trump fluffing. Not to mention putting lube on Satan so Trump can fuck him. Perfect.
#RespectClydesAuthority had me choking.
