Introduction
The latest episode of South Park delivers a sharp satire on contemporary issues, featuring the outrageous dynamics between Trump, Satan, and the newly introduced Labubus dolls.
‘South Park’ Returns with Trump and Satan’s Big Announcement
“Oh yeah, Labubus are demonic.”
In a typical episode of South Park, this quip from a school teachers meeting might stand out. However, amidst Fox News’ obsession with Donald Trump and Satan’s personal life, Jesus as a failed guidance counselor, and mini-VP JD Vance offering a shoulder to cry on, the mention of Labubus was just one of many outrageous moments.
Oh, and did we mention? Satan is pregnant with Trump’s baby.
Continuing its winning satire streak since the July 23 premiere of its twenty-seventh season, South Park stirred the pot once again by introducing Labubus alongside a megalomaniacal Trump, a reluctant Satan, and a Son of God on a mission. In the fourth episode of this elongated 10-episode season, Trey Parker’s “Wok Is Dead” appealed to the childish impulses of its main characters while also satirizing Trump’s madness—a potent combination this year.
The chaos begins when Butters seeks to buy his (kinda) girlfriend Red, a.k.a. Kelly, one of the increasingly rare and somewhat creepy Monsters dolls from China’s Popmart (dubbed “Shitty Pop-Up Asian Store” in South Park). Red specifically wants the elusive “Secret” Labubu found in a limited number of blind boxes.
“You gotta pay tariff, you think I pay tariff?” the stereotypical vendor tells Butters about the $85 price tag of the ugly-cute dolls. Later in the episode, the price skyrockets to $120 because “tariff’s not fair.”
“I get screwed by tariffs, so I have to screw children,” the pop-up owner declares, resonating with many CEOs as rising prices hit American consumers due to Trump’s return to 1920s economic policies.

Indeed, the hard-to-find and often bootlegged Labubus are this year’s Cabbage Patch dolls or Beanie Babies. “Oh my God, it’s so cute!” ignites a bragging fest, leading to a dispute over knock-offs and a girl brawl in the halls of South Park Elementary.
The real punchline arrives when Fox News questions Trump as he disembarks from Air Force One about why the First Lady spends so much time in New York and if he’s “fucking Satan.” Trump insists he and the Prince of Darkness are “just sort of hangin’ out,” while Fox reporters fawn over him, declaring “I definitely think the President is f*cking Satan, and I love it.”
Later, once Satan confirms the impending arrival of his child with Trump, Fox reinforces Trump’s long-held belief that MAGA supporters will overlook any sin or crime. Bursting with sycophantic joy, the Murdoch-owned outlet announces, “demonic pregnancies work a little different …the term is butt baby.” If you thought South Park couldn’t get darker after the previous three episodes, tonight proved that notion wrong—remarkable for a man of Trump’s age and girth, if you catch my drift.
“For all the doubters …in your face,” the Fox News anchor exclaims before transitioning to an interview with an emotionally overwhelmed Kid Rock. Just when you think the satire might run out of steam with the Satan and Jesus face-off, it becomes clear this is the only fitting conclusion to some All-American satire.

With South Park skipping a week between episodes this season, as Deadline revealed last month, the next time we’ll see Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny will be September 17 on Comedy Central and Paramount+. Expect to see some randy Trump and a dysfunctionally dependent Lord of the Underworld back in action.
