Southpark returns with a bang and a declaration of war. War of the words against President Trump, which historically, is Trumps favourite kind of war as he never shies away from a clash of words, using Truth Social as his platform of choice, to eloquently let everyone know exactly how he feels.
South Park released its first new episode in more than two years, on July 23, 2025, airing the season 27 premiere, after signing a new streaming deal with Paramount Plus. They used this episode, “Sermon on the Mount” to comment on Trump and his recent legal case against their new streaming company Paramount Plus.
Although Paramount is now South Parks parent company they did not shy away from their normal dark satire humour and even made Trump bedfellows with Satan in the same way they did in their 1999 movie, Bigger Longer and Uncut, with Saddam Hussein and Satan.
In the episode Jesus comes down to the angry crowd to warn them through clenched teeth that they need to drop their fight against the president and that even he is hopeless against him saying: “The guy can do whatever he wants, now that someone backed down” and “if someone has the power of the presidency and also the power to sue and take bribes, he has the power to do anything to anyone” he warns that if they continue protesting, they will end up with the same fate as Stephen Colbert.
Referencing the Paramount legal case and Colbert, who announced on July 17 2025, that he had been fired and the Late Night Show cancelled after nearly three decades on the air, proving not even old white males are safe from Trumps dictatorial reign.
The episode ends with a fake Pro-Trump PSA, which the characters of South Park had to create after a legal settlement with South Park’s Trump. The bumper to this PSA states 01 of 50, potentially referencing the new contract the South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed with Paramount Plus for 50 episodes over five years, advising that they will not adhere to their own Jesus’s warning, that all 50 of their contracted episodes will operate with this level of ridicule against their new parent company and the Trump administration, and they do not fear their own legal case against Trump.
Whether Parker and Stone are correct in believing that parody and satire are historically stronger legal defences of the First Amendment or whether Trump will sue, much like Jesus warned, is up for debate. Because of this uncertainty, I will follow Jesus’s warning, though I do not believe Trump is an avid reader of NETS2001 Writing on the Web, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Just in case.
This is why I believe that South Park’s satire humour is not authentic, have no original content, and their popularity continues to hit record lows, no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.
The President however is a great man!
