In a nod and head butt to Donald Trump and masked ICE abductions of undocumented immigrants and U.S. citizens, South Park was very relevant tonight.
Just ask Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
“A few years ago I had to put my puppy down by shooting it in the face, because sometimes doing what’s important means doing what’s hard,” the second episode of the 27th season of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s animated satire had a well styled and bulletproof vest wearing Noem tell ICE agent recruits, including laid off South Park teacher Mr. Mackey. After having real life self-admitted dog killer Noem shooting multiple puppies on the streets and while having a bath, the seeming perpetually camera-ready former Governor of South Dakota ends her video to the newbies by promising that “together we will make sure everyone is in this country legally.”

Then ICE goes after Dora the Explorer, and, with Noem declaring “if it’s Brown, it goes down,” they raid Heaven.
Seriously.
Between that, there was also Cartman as right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk doing his podcast on the toilet while getting busy.
Oh yeah, VP Vance made his South Park debut as a sycophantic Tattoo from the original run of Fantasy Island to Trump’s white suited Mr. Roarke. In that, there was more on POTUS’ love affair with an increasing red-faced Satan – with the Veep offering a small tribute to Sean “Diddy” Combs with a promise of a rub to the former fallen angel. “Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan’s asshole, boss?” inquires Vance with the allure of a MAGA ménage à trois.
The best efforts of big screen Superman‘s best four-legged friend Krypto to save newly appointed DHS boss Mackey from getting pulled in bed with Trump and Satan at Mar-a-lago ends badly. Eager to keep her job, Noem shoots another dog dead.
So, let’s just say, two weeks after the delayed Season 27 premiere offered the most mocking and effective kick to Trump’s “tiny teeny” since the increasing authoritarian former Celebrity Apprentice host returned to the White House, tonight’s ‘Got a Nut’ episode on the Paramount and now David Ellison-owned Comedy Central went for the jugular as well as the groin.
After the delayed July 23 ‘Sermon on the Mount’ episode depicted a less than well-endowed Trump in bed with a less than satisfied Lord of Hell and naked in the desert in a piercing pseudo-PSA (which was one of many stabs at Paramount and their recent $16 million knee bend to POTUS, Trump was reportedly “seething” and the Executive Branch went ballistic.
This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,” the White House Taylor Rogers exclaimed. “President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
This week, after ICE tried to be witty and lift an advance image from tonight’s episode for its X feed, South Park hit back: “Wait, so we ARE relevant?” Then on Tuesday they added a certain hashtag as a kicker
Tonight’s episode confirmed more than ever: yes, you are!
