South Park Takes Aim at Trump, Satan, and JD Vance
In a bold jab at Donald Trump and the controversial actions of ICE regarding undocumented immigrants, South Park delivered a timely episode that resonated with current events.
Political Parody and Dark Humor
Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were at the forefront of this episode. Noem, portrayed in a bulletproof vest, delivered a chilling line: “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.” This line was delivered to ICE recruits, including the character Mr. Mackey, a former teacher from South Park.
After a series of darkly comedic moments, including a raid on Heaven led by ICE with Noem declaring, “if it’s Brown, it goes down,” the episode took a surreal turn.
Cartman and the Right-Wing Agenda
Cartman, embodying right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk, was seen recording a podcast in a rather unconventional setting. Meanwhile, VP Vance made his debut as a sycophantic character reminiscent of Tattoo from Fantasy Island, serving Trump in a white suit.
In a bizarre twist, the episode explored Trump’s questionable relationship with a red-faced Satan, with Vance humorously asking, “Would you like me to apply the baby oil to Satan’s asshole, boss?” This outrageous dialogue highlighted the absurdity of the political landscape.

Critique of Authority
The episode didn’t shy away from making a statement. After a previous episode portrayed Trump in a less than flattering light, the White House responded with indignation, claiming that South Park was irrelevant. Yet, the creators hit back, confirming their relevance with a witty remark on social media.
This episode was a testament to the show’s ability to remain provocative and insightful, even after more than two decades on air.
