Caution: Contains explicit content
South Park launched its 27th season on Wednesday night with an episode that wasted no time diving into controversy, taking explicit aim at the U.S. President through a series of audacious, X-rated gags including a scene where he ends up in bed with none other than the literal Devil.
The episode aired just hours after South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone inked a lucrative five-year deal with Paramount, reportedly worth $1.5 billion. The agreement includes 50 new episodes and makes the show’s entire back catalog available on Paramount+ for the first time.
In the episode, the fictional town of South Park finds itself embroiled in a lawsuit with Trump. The settlement forces the town to create “pro-Trump messaging,” leading to a satirical, over-the-top patriotic advertisement in the episode’s final moments. Departing from its signature paper cut-out animation, the ad ends with a risqué joke: Trump drops his pants to reveal an exaggeratedly small animated penis, accompanied by the tagline, “Trump. His penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large.”
This scene is believed to be critiquing President Donald Trump’s recent $16 million settlement with Paramount, while also addressing his continued cultural and political significance.
Other scenes in the episode continue the biting satire, featuring the animated Trump in the White House lamenting the size of his manhood in an official portrait. The absurdity escalates when he retires to his bedroom, undresses, and climbs into bed with Satan, suggesting more intimate intentions.
In a moment that pushes the boundaries of the show’s humor, Trump’s character pulls down his pants again, prompting Satan to exclaim, “I can’t even see anything, it’s so small.” The scene also hints at another controversial topic, as Satan confronts Trump about rumors tying his name to the infamous and disputed “Epstein list.”
Unsurprisingly, the episode elicited a sharp response from the White House.
Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers criticized the show on Thursday, accusing it of hypocrisy and irrelevance. “The Left’s hypocrisy truly knows no bounds. For years, they condemned South Park for what they called ‘offensive’ content, but now they’re praising it,” Rogers said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
Rogers didn’t hold back, claiming, “This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is clinging to shock value in a desperate bid for attention. President Trump has delivered more on his promises in just six months than any other president in our nation’s history—and no fourth-rate show can derail his success.”
Known for its fearless approach to social commentary, South Park is no stranger to controversy. However, the Season 27 premiere stands out not only for its provocative subject matter but also for its timing, coinciding with Parker and Stone’s massive new deal with Paramount. As the creators gear up to produce more episodes than ever, South Park proves it still has the ability to stir the cultural pot and ignite debate, even after nearly three decades on the air.
