\n\tHours after South Park<\/a> co-creators Trey Parker<\/a> and Matt Stone<\/a> signed a new five-year overall deal<\/a> with Paramount Global<\/a>, the long-running animated series took aim at the network\u2019s dealings with Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWednesday\u2019s Season 27 premiere featured the president complaining about the size of his manhood in an official painting, then crawling into bed with and trying to be amorous with Satan, who rejects him and complains about the size of Trump\u2019s manhood. And, for the record, said manhood is seen (well barely, given its size) multiple times throughout the episode, including in a photorealistic segment at the end of the show. More on that below.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere are also multiple paintings scattered throughout the fictional White House that poke fun at Trump\u2019s military bravado. Another image seems to involve Trump and a sheep engaged in an activity not meant for polite company.<\/p>\n

\n\tRather than depicting Trump in the South Park style, Parker and Stone use actual photos of the president\u2019s face in the animation \u2014 lest there be any confusion about whom they are referencing.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans on social media speculated it\u2019s only a matter of time before Trump sues the show as well. \u201cI give it 15 more minutes before Trump is demanding the cancellation of South Park lmfao,\u201d wrote one viewer on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the episode, titled \u2018Sermon on the \u2018Mount\u2019, the residents of South Park come together when the kids\u2019 school principal literally brings Jesus into the classroom. The town\u2019s parents riot, prompting a $5 billion lawsuit from Trump.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier, Cartman is upset over the cancellation of NPR, which his mother tells him is Trump\u2019s doing. He likes the service because he sees the wokeness as comedy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe government can\u2019t cancel the show, I mean, what show are they going to cancel next?\u201d says Cartman.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt one point, Satan confronts Trump about rumors he\u2019s on the Epstein list, a topic that sparked Trump\u2019s lawsuit<\/a> against Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones and owner Rupert Murdoch.<\/p>\n

\n\tStone and Parker also take a shot at Paramount<\/a>\u2018s settlement of Trump\u2019s lawsuit against 60 Minutes with two nervous-looking anchors intro-ing a segment for the show about the president suing the town South Park itself. Cut to the residents, who say they\u2019re fighting back against the literal presence of Jesus in their kids\u2019 school. \u201cWe all know the woke stuff went too far, but the answer isn\u2019t going too far the other way,\u201d says one.<\/p>\n

\n\tCue Jesus, who descends from the heavens and tells the townspeople in a whisper, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to come back and be at the school, but I had to as part of a lawsuit and the agreement\u2026You guys saw what happened to CBS! You really want to end up like Colbert? You guys gotta stop being stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA frightened Jesus then goes on to warn the assembled citizens that Trump \u201chas the power to sue and take bribes and can do anything to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe episode ends with a lawyer telling the townsfolk that they\u2019ll need to pay the president $3.5 million, do some \u201cpro-trump messaging\u201d and create a PSA. See clip below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSaid PSA appears to be a clip from Deep Fake: The Movie, which Stone said in 2022 was \u201csort of on hold,\u201d as Parker told the Los Angeles Times<\/a> it \u201cwas about this guy who looked exactly like Trump because we deep fake Trump\u2019s face onto him. And it was this whole funny thing because, of course, it ends up with Trump just naked and getting run through the wringer and everything, and that\u2019s why it was so funny and so timely.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe PSA ends with the tag line, \u201cTrump: His penis is teeny tiny, but his love for us is large\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the Season 26 finale in March 2023, Stone and Parker explained to Vanity Fair why, in addition to \u201cwaiting for Paramount<\/a> to figure all their sh** out,\u201d they weren\u2019t in a rush to return to production.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve tried to do South Park through four or five presidential elections, and it is such a hard thing to\u2014it\u2019s such a mind scramble, and it seems like it takes outsized importance,\u201d said Stone. <\/p>\n

\n\tParker added, \u201cObviously, it\u2019s f***ing important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun. I don\u2019t know what more we could possibly say about Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier on Wednesday, Parker and Stone signed a new five-year overall deal<\/a> with Paramount Global through their company Park County.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, South Park Digital Studios, the joint venture behind the animated hit co-owned by Paramount and Park County, has entered into an exclusive five-year license deal with Paramount+, reportedly worth $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pacts cover 50 new episodes over five seasons and all 26 previous seasons of South Park, which will continue on Comedy Central<\/a> and be available on Paramount+.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Paramount is under fire for canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/a> on the heels of the company\u2019s $16M settlement<\/a> with Trump, which has been scrutinized as potential bribery<\/a> by some lawmakers. Following Colbert\u2019s ongoing jokes at the president\u2019s expense, Trump has celebrated the talk show\u2019s cancellation<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hours after South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a new five-year overall deal with Paramount…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33533,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[4207,12,88,4208,4210],"class_list":{"0":"post-33532","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-comedy-central","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-paramount","12":"tag-south-park"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33532\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
