Show begins 27th season covering Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount and cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, depicting Trump in bed with Satan
South Park has kicked off its 27th season with a blistering episode taking aim at Donald Trump and its newly minted parent company, Paramount, just one day after signing a $1.5bn deal with the network.
The premiere episode, “Sermon on the Mount,” sees Trump in bed with series regular Satan and covers topics including Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount, the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wokeness, Trump’s attacks on Canada and more.
Unlike other characters, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert. There are repeated suggestions that Trump’s genitalia are small.
So this was absolutely incredible. Anyone else seen it?
This is the power of being on the air for 28 years, expecting to get cancelled since the start, and not caring if they do anymore. They can embrace risky content.
Given CBS cancelled their top show, and is owned by Paramount, maybe this is the last show season that will finally set them free

I think they’re begging them to get canceled. As if to prove to everyone still in disbelief that freedom of speech is dead under Trump. Which they’ll probably succed in, should they get canceled.

If you haven’t, just sit down and watch it.
The ending just about killed me. Couldn’t breathe for a few minutes there.

At this point they may be the first liberals disappeared to the gulags.

As much as I love their direction, i still have trouble taking their commentary seriously because they played a part in creating the gen X/Millenial bump of wierd conservatives who think they’re smarter than everybody because they’re “independent” conservatives.
Like their central ethos was “caring about people is for losers”.

What people take away for themselves is a function of their already-existing bias. I watched south park during a formative period of my life and the lesson I took away is that everything can be laughed at, and how ridiculous some of the things we take for granted are.

Worse even, IMO, their strategy of “attack every position so we can’t be seen as biased” meant their effective ethos was “caring is for losers”

Yeah there’s definitely some of that. I don’t know if they made these people or these people flocked to SP because they see some of themselves in it. I guess people who don’t have established belief systems can be influenced that way. I’ve always viewed it from a leftist lens and perhaps I see what I want to see and miss what I don’t. They’re often ambiguous enough to let me do that. I can totally see how that could and perhaps does work differently for others.

The anti-climate change, pro-Walmart, pro-Starbucks whatever-era was annoying as fuck. Like you said, it’s not directly South Park but their annoying fans taking their shit too seriously.
Internet threads talking about climate change had some “man bear big” bullshit going around.
The thing is that I watched South Park during that time too and I loved a lot of the episodes. I just didn’t take their commentary too seriously. I’m just like, “well they’re obviously wrong”. I was a Richard Dawkins fan and had no problem with them skewering him at the time either.

This is being reported as being unrelated, and I also think this is better for a different community. Could you add some context for how it is related to Canada? I haven’t seen the episode myself. Else it might be better for places like !television@piefed.social or !casualconversation@piefed.social.
If you were looking to discuss with other Canadians specifically, maybe we could use casual discussion community for that purpose?

The Canadian Prime Minister was in it.

Right wing shill mod. No surprises, people who pursue positions of power are all utterly fucking rotten. You’re no exception

.Did something from my comment give that impression? I haven’t removed the post yet if that’s the concern.
Someone reported this post as being unrelated to the topic of this community (Canada), and I’m following up on it by asking the poster to add context for why they posted it here. Most likely the post will stay up since it has a lot of discussion already.

.Lol give your balls a tug there bud
Mod is asking if an American show about an American politician is relevant to Canada

They at least admitted they were wrong on Man Bear Pig. Agree on the sentiment though they share a big part in creating the “enlightened centrist” bullshit

I wasn’t sure whether to put it here but yes, Canada’s involved in this episode so I thought other Canadians might want to know or talk about it. The thing with throwing it in a different Canada-discussion commhnity is that likey very few would see it and discuss, because we’re still relativey small overall. For that reason I think the approach which gets more people interested in Canada to see content relevnt to Canada is to use the topmost Canadian community - /c/Canada. As the number of users grows, the increased noise in this community would necessitate moving more topics to more specific communities, and at that point they’ll get more engagement there.
