- South Park’s season 27 finally premiered amid corporate drama
- The show directly targets President Trump with bold satire

- Paramount’s role and controversies are also lampooned
- Innovative use of AI and live-action in a pro-Trump parody ad
The Return and the Corporate Backdrop
For a moment, it seemed like South Park might never come back. The creators had announced season 27’s upcoming premiere, but Paramount’s leadership changes and an acquisition deal pending FCC approval threw a wrench into plans. Adding fuel to the fire, CBS (a Paramount subsidiary) canceled Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show, allegedly bowing to pressure from Trump’s lawsuits. Eventually, the deal went through for a whopping $1.5 billion, and South Park hit the airwaves again on Comedy Central and Paramount Plus, exactly on schedule.
“Sermon on the ’Mount” – A No-Holds-Barred Satire
The premiere episode, titled Sermon on the ’Mount, wastes no time going for the jugular. Parker and Stone portray President Trump as a loud, barking dictator complete with an exaggerated, visible micropenis—an image reminiscent of how they once depicted Saddam Hussein. This provocative depiction is just the tip of the iceberg.
Cartman kicks off the episode by lamenting the loss of NPR and the fading of “woke” culture, declaring, “Woke is dead. Everyone hates the Jews. Everyone is fine with using gay slurs. It’s terrible. Because… I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.” Meanwhile, PC Principal rebrands himself as Preach Christ Principal, convinced that Christian enlightenment is the only way forward. Even the town’s MAGA voters are confused and disillusioned by Trump’s actions.
The episode revisits familiar territory with Mr. Garrison, a long-time South Park character who previously stood in for Trump. However, this time, the real Trump himself is front and center. The town’s residents confront the reality of their desensitized world, and the satire reaches its peak with an absurd, yet pointed, portrayal of Trump in the White House.
Paramount and Trump: The Corporate-Political Nexus
Not content with just mocking the president, Parker and Stone also take shots at Paramount for paying Trump following a “deceptive” 60 Minutes report. The episode highlights how South Park’s citizens back off from protests after Trump hits them with lawsuits, ending with Jesus Christ urging everyone to “just shut up or we’re going to get canceled!”
It’s clear Parker and Stone received the same memo but chose to keep their signature rebellious spirit alive. They took the money and ran… right back onto the air.
Innovative Use of AI in Pro-Trump Propaganda
As part of the satirical settlement with Trump, the town agrees to run pro-Trump propaganda. Parker and Stone went a step further by creating a live-action style ad using transparent AI technology. The video features Trump marching through the desert, carrying mankind’s sins, stripping naked, and collapsing to the ground—again highlighting his micropenis—before declaring, “I’m Donald J. Trump and I endorse this message.”
This parody ad was released shortly after Trump unveiled the U.S. AI action plan and signed an order preventing woke AI in the federal government. The video even has its own dedicated website: HeTrumpedUs.com.
South Park Enters the AI Era — and Trump Enters the Ring
With this episode, South Park boldly steps into the era of AI and politics, refusing to hold back on its satirical punches. The show’s return marks not just a new season but a new chapter where pop culture, politics, and technology collide in classic South Park fashion.
