“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!”

    This is the 14 month old puppy Kristi bragged about shooting. She then shot a pet goat that “disgusted” her.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.”

      https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-told-howard-stern-2006-223928455.html (there are more sources for this)

      So 13 is the obese imbeciles age limit … when talking on a national(?) radio show!!

      1. Thirteen. Hmmmm. Why does 13 and tRUMP seem so icky and familiar. Oh, yes, now I remember…

    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.

    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.

      A lot more than 2 years, and it really says a lot that you think those 2 are centrists.

        These artist with a massive platform do everything in their power to avoid addressing class conflict and instead fill that “edge” with small penis and fart jokes. Yes. I would say that is literally the definition of “center”.

        Challenging the current president instead of addressing the structures that brought about fascism in America is absolutely a failure.

        You can absolutely and should challenge the current president. But doing that in a time of fascist uprising WITHOUT pointing to the historical materialism that explains what brings these fascist to power. Yeah. It’s insufficient and a failure.

        It is making liberals feel as if the next election can still fix things. Keeping them complacent in the mean time. Do I think that is their intention? No. They exist with a platform like this BECAUSE they do not push past that edge. The same reason that successful talking heads are successful because they’re world views align with ruling class narratives.

        They make the edge feel like it’s being pushed. While they sit in the right side of a fence that every thinks is far to the right of them.

          The US was founded by the rich for the rich. We were always fascist. Everything else was an illusion used to convince you otherwise. Looks like it worked.

            “Fascism” wasn’t invented till 1910 or so, in a response to Marxism. The early USA could not have been fascist, at all.

              Nice try. The elements of fascism have always been there.

              That is like saying Diabetes was discovered in 1921 when it was first described by the Egyptians in 1550 BC.

              Hey, I get it. It is hard to swallow the reality that the US has always been a fascist nation that uses propaganda and violence to manipulate their populace.

                Lol. I ain’t American, but the early American philosophy was anti authoritarian, and dipshits that talk like you are always advocating for authoritarianism while pretending you are not.

                  You really didn’t study the American Revolution at all. Sounds like you fell for the propaganda though!

            Fascism has an actual meaning. I think you’re confusing a bourgeois dictatorship for Fascism. Fascism is an ideology it isn’t an economic system or system of governance.

            Saying something like “oh well technically we’ve always been fascist because the US was founded on genocide, slavery, etc” is not helpful in recognizing the change in ideology and the rise in fascist policies of our lifetimes.

            We probably agree on a lot. But your comment was just snarky and unhelpful. Or maybe I just interpreted it poorly.

              You probably haven’t studied our founding fathers and history very much. Pretty much everything we are facing now was there from the start.

              I get it that this offends your worldview and you think it is unhelpful. The truth is far uglier than you can imagine.

                I guess you’re just purposely ignoring the agreement I made with you to avoid my point. Seems like you don’t want a conversation but just to repeat your conclusion.

      I look at it as absurdist political humor, just like when they were making fun of Al Gore with ManBearPig and Hilly Clinton with The Snuke. Then there was them roasting the shit out of Saddam Hussein in the movie.

      Rehashing Saddam Hussein as Trump was a bit lazy. They could have done better, but it was still entirely unexpected.

    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
