\n\tSouth Park<\/a> mocked Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in its latest episode \u2014 and took some digs at Vice President J.D. Vance<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the episode, titled \u201cGot A Nut,\u201d school counselor Mr. Mackay loses his job due to President Donald Trump<\/a> cutting the Department of Education\u2019s budget, so he decides to sign up to join ICE (\u201cI\u2019m proud to work for ICE,\u201d declares one masked ICE recruiter, ironically). Mackay watches an orientation video from Noem where she says, \u201cA few years ago, I had to put my puppy down by shooting it in the face, because sometimes doing what\u2019s important means doing what\u2019s hard.\u201d (Noem previously admitted to killing her 14-month-old dog for exhibiting aggressive behavior).<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is followed by Noem shooting several other random puppies in the face, which becomes a running gag throughout the episode. Mackay and his ICE squad then descend on the Dora the Explorer live show to arrest people in the crowd. \u201cRemember only detain the brown ones!\u201d Noem shouts. \u201cIf it\u2019s brown, it goes down!\u201d Another running gag is Noem\u2019s face repeatedly melting, only to be patched up by a beautician support team.<\/p>\n

\n\tMackay\u2019s success as an ICE agent earns him an invitation to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago, which is portrayed as a Fantasy Island parody \u2014 with Trump and Mr. O\u2019Roarke and J.D. Vance as a tiny subservient Tattoo. Mackay realizes the high price for his success \u2014 a threesome with Trump and Satan \u2014 is too much to pay. Krypto the Superdog from Superman swoops in to seemingly save the day, only to be shot dead by Noem as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe episode also took on right-wing podcasts with fourth-grader Clyde becoming a supplement hawking \u201cown the libs\u201d-style \u201cmaster-debater.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this week, Homeland Security posted an image on X from South Park\u2018s preview that depicted an ICE raid, along with a link to a recruitment site to join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe official South Park X account shot back<\/a>: \u201cWait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe comment refers to the White House\u2019s official statement that was issued in response to the show\u2019s scathing 27th season premiere last month, which claimed: \u201cJust like the creators of\u00a0South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn\u2019t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe episode follows up the show\u2019s blockbuster 27th season return last month,<\/a> which delivered nearly six million cross-platform viewers and the largest audience share for the animated comedy in 25 years. The episode also received more social media posts than any other in the show\u2019s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Park mocked Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in its latest episode \u2014 and took some digs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[12,88,47536,4210],"class_list":{"0":"post-64364","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-j-d-vance","11":"tag-south-park"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64364","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=64364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
