Sometimes South Park I think is a bit too nihilistic in a weaponized way for me but to be fair it has also gone straight at the assholes of the world too, but even from my mixed-bag perspective on South Park I can see Trump attacking South Park is probably the absolute worst thing Trump could possibly do that I could possibly imagine.

South Park writers will steamroll Trump over and over again, I really hope this feud continues because it is going to be hilarious. Like... say what you will about South Park writers, you cannot deny that they aren't smart, reactive to changing cultural realities and willing to say it how the writers think it is... and Trump is absolutely none of those things (and he is only getting more out of touch as he deteriorates mentally).

This is like watching a nature documentary where a bee sees one of those parasite wasps and bravely tries to intimidate it away and you are like "oof... this is going to end realllll bad for you buddy" as you listen to the narrator describe how the parasitic wasp will inject its eggs into the bee to use as an incubator.

:)

I mean, this is embarassing for Trump and the people around him at the basic level that they clearly don't actually understand South Park isn't really leftist, or at least it isn't reflective of the vast majority of leftism in the US now. South Park is its own thing and it has frequently pissed of the left as much as the right, that is kind of the point of the show?

facepalm

We should also remember that they turn around episodes in under a week. And when something REALLY juicy happens, they'll do it in under a day.

Hence the jokes about Colbert being taken off the air in the episode launched less than a week later

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

This season is going to be a bit more dated, mostly because of the custody battle. But they're obviously adding more recent things in before they air.

[-] msprout@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

I don't even understand the motivation. Much of Trump's 2020 coalition is composed of white guys who got their entire education of the world from Comedy Central reruns. They have a stronger loyalty to South Park than they do to Trump.

There isn't necessarily anything to understand, Trump is a very old man and he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with...

One of my all time favorite episodes. :D

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 68 points 1 week ago

Hasn’t been relevant? South Park has been the most relevant social commentary for nearly the entire run of the show. Now more than ever

I hadn't watched it in years, but I watched this episode earlier because the free advertising they are getting from this now.

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 20 points 1 week ago

Honestly I loved Season 19, it absolutely raked modern culture, like the SoDoSoPa episodes, the town desperately trying to get a whole foods while ignoring everything wrong with it. Highly recommend it.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 60 points 1 week ago

If the show hasn't been relevant for 20 years then why is the Whitehouse bothering to comment on it? Is the Whitehouse going to release a statement about Andromeda?

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

I imagine Kevin Sorbo is a huge Trump fan, but not rich enough to pay the required bribe

This Show Hasn’t Been Relevant for Over 20 Years!

As the White House addresses the South Park episode.

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago

What an effective way to get more people to watch the episode.

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 7 points 1 week ago

Hopefully it fuels the whole season of episodes.

[-] kinkles@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No way Trump himself has seen the episode yet. I’m expecting a monumental meltdown when he does. That desert PSA left me with my jaw on the floor- one of the most brazen “fuck you”s to Trump I’ve ever seen.

[-] Laereht@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

To be the fly on the wall when he sees his tiny pecker on South Park. Wonder if his heart can even take the outrage?

i can think of 1.5 billion reasons why its still relevant.

also, they spelled 'hot flash' wrong in reference to that geriatric piece of feces

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 23 points 1 week ago

Thank goodness it was only 22 minutes long I don't think my sides could take much more of it.

[-] ksigley@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

It was shockingly funny. Felt almost normal for a moment in the wake of this monumental cultural divide unraveling across our nation.

Ah, crap...

[-] don@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
  1. “White House ~~bashes~~ whines like the ass damaged little bitch it is after South Park parody”, and

  2. Good job Streisand effecting the very thing you’re whining about, you dumb fucking cunts.

The only two things that will remain after the heat death of the universe are photons and republican stupidity.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago

They have an age sign in block on youtube for the link.

[-] Bassman27@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

“At least they gave me a huge knob” Trump probably

[-] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 week ago

I haven't seen a good South Park episode in many years. It's long past the time it was any good.

But if it manages to piss off the fascist orange utan, I guess the show still has something of value in it.

[-] jared@mander.xyz 18 points 1 week ago

I haven't watched in years but the clip i just watched put a grin on my face.

Trump’s hot streak.

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago

I wonder how much of the 1.5B is guaranteed, knowing that the current admin will do any and everything to get them off the air. Hell of a payday if it only makes it half a season.

[-] Entertainmeonly 13 points 1 week ago

Are you suggesting someone could actually get this show canceled? Wasn't season 22 about them basically not even being able to cancel their own show?

Noticed they listed a “1/50” on that “pro-Trump PSA” bit. I hope they’ve actually prepared 50 of those.

[-] Zorniac@leminal.space 9 points 1 week ago

I think they agreed to 5 more seasons with 10 episodes each so I'm guessing it's gonna happen, Unless they get cancelled first.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Oh man.

Let this begin haha.

[-] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

hilariously out of touch is on brand for republicans. Goofy fuckin weirdo cultists - you will not reach heaven of any sort 💜

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

I've never been able to stand South Park, but I'll cheer them on from a distance!

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I'm so excited to see it, haven't been watching much south park lately

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

Keep it coming you orange bag of crap ... everything you say just brings attention to everyone else that's against you

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The South Park episode was great. Right after I watched it I saw the new video posted by Trump himself. He is clearly suffering from dementia at this point and is barely holding on to reality.

Good idea to stir shit with probably the only animators that could keep pace pumping out episodes relevant to admin's daily fuck ups.

[-] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

"Nobody likes South Park. Everyone likes me. Truth is a popularity contest."

Where can I find it if I am sailing the high seas?
