“South Park” is back to once again mock President Donald Trump — and this time, Vice President JD Vance, too.
The Comedy Central show took aim at the president, as well as Vance and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in its latest episode, “Got A Nut,” which aired on Aug. 6.
The episode revolves around school counselor Mr. Mackey being fired from his job and, because he’s desperate for money, joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A parody ad for the federal agency mocks its recruitment process, with a jingle declaring, “We don’t ask for experience, just show up!”
I feel like this episode was really bad. Unfunny, making fun of random unfunny things, and going away from the plot of the first episode. I hope they do better for the next one
This is the 14 month old puppy Kristi bragged about shooting. She then shot a pet goat that “disgusted” her.
Poor dog. Only 14 months old? Sometimes I lose faith in humanity.
That dog deserved a better life.
I’m starting to think they’re doing this on purpose.
Man, this “irrelevant show” has been making headlines every week now…
A good thing for Kristi Noem and me. I would not have known about her methods otherwise.
25 minute episode makes a headlines everyday until the next episode comes out which oddly enough isn’t each week because of how culturally relevant the episodes are the fucking president threatened their network.
I don’t know that there’s ever been a more culturally relevant show… Even back when they’re only like three channels.
I love how JD Vance came to the bedroom with Trump and Satan and said ‘would you like me to apply baby oil to zee asshole?’ in a stupid French accent. It was hilarious! Yes I know the whole part was a reference to Fantasy Island, it was hilarious
This is all such a circus. But we are not getting the bread, well a very small portion of us are getting it all, and a few places are holding the vast majority of the rest of the wealth among their peons.
i thought shooting the dog was just a parody
but she did shot a family dog
It’s also the breed my family has had historically. She killed the dog because it was too energetic. She killed the dog because of what it was.
In writing we call that foreshadowing.
And a goat.
She’s demented.
OMG SHE KILLED KENNY!
While I find this season hasn’t been terribly well written or even all that funny, I really enjoy watching these episodes. In this time of instability and chaos, it feels somewhat cathartic to see them just go balls-to-the-wall with their insults on these absolute bastards. On a meta level, they seem to be dropping nuance to get reactions from their targets and even hoping to get sued, perhaps looking to shed light on some hypocrisy in their targets. Or maybe they are just Trey and Matt, frustrated at the current political situation and not inclined to give a fuck anymore. Cartman’s confusion is probably just them acknowledging their difficulty parodying people whose entire life is a farce.
The end credits were a fucking riot, though.
Illegitimi non carborundum.
Release the Epstein files
I’m frightened for them. Trump will do something to them and it’ll be brutal
He is both powerful, yet impotent. He’s got nothing to get them with, and by “getting them” he would be self owning himself because they are daring him to do it with every animated frame.
They are both worth about a billion dollars. I think they’ll be fine. Consequences are for the poors
The fuck is he going to do? Raise tarrifs on streaming media?
The biggest most scariest thing he will do is then back track, and then he will have Trey and Matt exactly where he wants them /s
He’s a psychopath and he’s no problem destroying people’s lives. Look what he did to Marie Yovanovitch
Also when Mike Tyson was convicted of rape, Trump lamented that he was going to prison because he was making so much money with his boxing that he could ‘just give lots of money to rape survivors and be done with it’. He really does believe that money beats everything.
Noem’s face crawling across the floor was horrifyingly fantastic. And the dogs…
The dogs were intense. Like the detail of each shot. They really wanted to hammer home thay this person is a monster. And i thank them for it.
less horrifying than her actual face
Eh. It was kinda boring.
agreed
they’re paid too much for this bs, being just edgy doesn’t cut it, it has to be smart and somewhat convey a message
I’m a bit worried for the rest of the season, if they’re already doing shitty episodes
First episode was good
It had its moments, but it wasn’t as good as the previous episode, for sure. Acting like all right wing “master debaters” and ICE agents are just doing it for money rather than actually believing the rhetoric was a shit take, too.
I was hoping they were going to have a deepfake Trump PSA every episode after it said “1 of 50.” Guess not.
Best I can do carrying their water is that they’re undermining the goto excuse rightwingers have that it’s just about money.
#RespectClydesAuthority had me choking.
To be honest the funniest part of that whole episode was Vance. I lost my shit at the end when he came up.
Go back and look at Mar a Lago’s couches.
I’m not getting it
JD Vance is a couch fucker.
Lol that’s fucking amazing
The fact they did a fantasy island gag was perfect. Not many got the joke.
Seriously, I was thinking you have to be a really old fart like me to remember that show.
I didn’t get it. Was it just that he was short?
It’s an old drama series from the late 70s. Essentially it’s an exclusive private island. Guests were granted so-called “fantasies” on the island for a price. JD Vance portrayed as Tattoo. Tattoo would run up the main bell tower to ring the bell and shout De plane! De plane! to announce the arrival of a new set of guests at the beginning of each episode. In later seasons, he arrives in his personal go-kart, sized for him, and recklessly drives to join the host for the visitor reception while the staff scramble out of his way.
So the parallels between Epstein island and other things lined up so well overall.
Tattoo would run up the main bell tower to ring the bell and shout De plane! De plane! to announce the arrival of a new set of guests
Like Fantasy Island didn’t have a radio … or a flight schedule. That show has aged like Corinthian leather.
It was pretty implied that the islands and Mr Roark were supernatural.The terrible remake made it explicit. Roark seemed to have control of the weather and things would happen to force the characters into learning the lesson they were there for.
Popular theory is the guests has just died and this was a last chance at being “good” before judgement.
deleted by creator
Also, the little person committed suicide in real life
He lived a fairly tragic life. But while on the show he was an asshole, constantly proposing marriage to female employees and demanding more and more pay, even wanting more pay than the star of the show. He was eventually fired because he was just too difficult to work with.
Lol, so the guy was an Incel, good fucking riddance to his ass. I did not know these alarming details, thank you. He killed himself because he couldn’t find a wife to make his life easier lol
He was not an incel. He actually did have quite a bit of sexual success, but it didn’t make him happy.
Also ran well into the 80’s with new episodes.
They also rebooted it twice. Once in the 90’s and once recently. I don’t know if Tattoo made a comeback, so only people 35 and up might get that reference.
I think the recent reboot is inexplicably a horror b-movie, yeah? Very weird.
Pretty decent honestly worth a watch
Why didn’t they do the baby jd face 😭😭😭
They did. His face was edited.
No way! Source?
It’s not as blatant as some edits, but it’s definitely there:
that’s just the ozempic
I was REALLY hoping they would. Would have pissed vance off a lot.
