“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!”
To be honest the funniest part of that whole episode was Vance. I lost my shit at the end when he came up.
Go back and look at Mar a Lago’s couches.
Lol that’s fucking amazing
I’m not getting it
JD Vance is a couch fucker.
The fact they did a fantasy island gag was perfect. Not many got the joke.
I didn’t get it. Was it just that he was short?
It’s an old drama series from the late 70s. Essentially it’s an exclusive private island. Guests were granted so-called “fantasies” on the island for a price. JD Vance portrayed as Tattoo. Tattoo would run up the main bell tower to ring the bell and shout De plane! De plane! to announce the arrival of a new set of guests at the beginning of each episode. In later seasons, he arrives in his personal go-kart, sized for him, and recklessly drives to join the host for the visitor reception while the staff scramble out of his way.
So the parallels between Epstein island and other things lined up so well overall.
Also ran well into the 80’s with new episodes.
They also rebooted it twice. Once in the 90’s and once recently. I don’t know if Tattoo made a comeback, so only people 35 and up might get that reference.
I think the recent reboot is inexplicably a horror b-movie, yeah? Very weird.
Also, the little person committed suicide in real life
He lived a fairly tragic life. But while on the show he was an asshole, constantly proposing marriage to female employees and demanding more and more pay, even wanting more pay than the star of the show. He was eventually fired because he was just too difficult to work with.
Lol, so the guy was an Incel, good fucking riddance to his ass. I did not know these alarming details, thank you. He killed himself because he couldn’t find a wife to make his life easier lol
He was not an incel. He actually did have quite a bit of sexual success, but it didn’t make him happy.
Tattoo would run up the main bell tower to ring the bell and shout De plane! De plane! to announce the arrival of a new set of guests
Like Fantasy Island didn’t have a radio … or a flight schedule. That show has aged like Corinthian leather.
It was pretty implied that the islands and Mr Roark were supernatural.The terrible remake made it explicit. Roark seemed to have control of the weather and things would happen to force the characters into learning the lesson they were there for.
Popular theory is the guests has just died and this was a last chance at being “good” before judgement.

Seriously, I was thinking you have to be a really old fart like me to remember that show.
Why didn’t they do the baby jd face 😭😭😭
They did. His face was edited.
No way! Source?
It’s not as blatant as some edits, but it’s definitely there:
that’s just the ozempic

Bunch of snowflakes, the lot of them 😂
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.
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.
How timely with ice just removing its age restrictions. Good stuff.
Talking of age restrictions…
“Do you think you could now be banging 24-year-olds,” Stern asked in the 2006 interview.
“Oh, absolutely,” Trump responded “I have no trouble.”
“Would you do it” Stern clarified.
“I have no problem,” the future president said.
Stern’s co-host Robin Quivers then asked, “do you have an age limit or would you…”
“If I- No, no, I have no age–. I mean, I have an age li…” Trump replied.
Then, when asked to provide his “upper bracket,” Trump said, “I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”

So 13 is the obese imbeciles age limit … when talking on a national(?) radio show!!
- Thirteen. Hmmmm. Why does 13 and tRUMP seem so icky and familiar. Oh, yes, now I remember…

(If anyone doesn’t want to read this then basically he and Epstein tied up, beat, and raped a 13 years old and then made threats to keep them all quiet)
For a second i thought this was going to be the interview where trump admits his 17 year old daughter made him promise to stop dating girls younger than her.
Dude publicly told on himself a lot.
I wonder if this dumbass would forgive Biden or Obama or Clinton for the same. You know, because Jaysus.
What…The…Fuck🤦♂️
“…as He forgave me” - so he admits he fucked his own daughter.

national(?)
It was definitely national by 2006. I was listening to his show in Cleveland in the '90s.
Oh yes. Syndicated by the mid-80s.
I forgot about his TV show on E! too, which was in the late '90s.

#RespectClydesAuthority had me choking.
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.

I wonder if they didn’t purposefully work to encourage this inevitable clusterfuck for content when they downplayed how fucked-up Trump is in Season 20.
Partially yes. I guess they are owning their mistakes now by airing these episodes
Closing the barn door after the horse is gone
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.
Edit: good comment in hindsight. I do like hearing the responses. If you still want to respond please understand I am a depressed far left dude that just had a family reunion of liberals talk more about South Park and zero about Palestine. Just some context to my frustration.

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.
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.
Glad you asked. I’m a dues paying member of both PSL, SDA, and started working with a “Tech for Palestine” group I just joined after being fired from my job at Microsoft for working with the activist group “No Azure for Apartheid”.
This week I have my first get together with the SRA (socialist rifle association).
Maybe I’m a loser. Maybe I’m just trying to fill a void personally. But I definitely don’t wanna just sit back and watch.
If you’re a non American I would tell you what I’ve warned my comrades in Europe, Canada or otherwise. The US empire doesn’t fall without the rest of the west. You can grab your popcorn. But the interest of American Imperialism are aligned with your capitalist as well.
The working class (you) will be paying the cost of empire as it struggles to maintain itself. You are not simply an observer. They are coming for your social programs too. And they’re already scapegoating immigrants and Muslims to prepare you for it.
Maybe I’m a loser. Maybe I’m just trying to fill a void personally. But I definitely don’t wanna just sit back and watch.
Don’t think that. I don’t know you, so I can’t pass judgement…but my initial thought is that if you really are active in what you wrote, then you’re doing more to try to elicit change than 99% of your fellow citizens and should be commended for same.
Thanks mate.

I don’t think they are making any strong statements. I think they are making liberals feel like “we are right” and I think they are making strong conservatives think “damn, South Park went woke”. The people not with a strong opinion either way or the other will conclude “well I guess that’s a debate right now”. When this is the time we need a strong shift away from the failures of both parties that have failed the American people in order to serve the wealthy and imperial interest.
This is a time for artist to make strong statements of anti genocide, anti fascist, anti Imperialist, anti capitalist interest.
South Park makes a strong anti Trump statement in a time when the population needs to hear more than that. It is a failure of what art should push. Deciding more to fill that void with “shock” value of tired sex/Satan/small penis jokes instead.
It is an out of touch Gen X opinion that still thinks the dream of their parents wasn’t a lie.
There is nothing that challenges the the structures. Only the individuals that power those structures. Only appealing to replace them.
It is art that avoids class conflict. Which is probably the point I’ve been trying to make this whole time.
Well said. It’s just pithy insults that are about 10 years too late. We need more than that right now, and they’re clearly not up to the task.
What exactly do you expect a few writers to do about Trump? Taking care of Trump is either the job of politicians, the military, or the workers, depending on how you want it done, and what kind of system you want afterwards.
What exactly do you expect a few writers to do about Trump?
I dunno. If only we had examples in history of writers causing massive political changes.
Oh well.
Do you really, seriously, expect comedy writers like Matt Stone and Tray Parker to be writers like Jean-Paul Marat? Or Marx? For reals?
Why not? Satire can be very powerful, and if you read the comments in this thread, you’d believe that they’re two of the best satirical minds of our generation.
Is their someone else major in media than is giving any pushback!? We may need more but they are what we need for the moment. At least someone is pointing out the absolute absurdity this all is.
South Park is one of the most influential television shows in history.
Lol yeah I don’t think this is true. Top 25 or something maybe.
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.
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.
This is the 14 month old puppy Kristi bragged about shooting. She then shot a pet goat that “disgusted” her.
That dog deserved a better life.
