Also South Park didn't really have seasons the last 4 years . They did some specials and a couple episodes due to a mix of Covid and contract negotiations.

Anyone who thinks they would actively avoid making fun of Biden hasn't been paying attention the last 20 years. They DGAF, they just hate hypocrisy and stupidity.

Not mentioned yet is how South Park only released 6 episodes the last 2 years and 4 the year before. 2025 is due to have 10 episodes released.

They are definitely left-leaning, but they didn't have as much air to fill over the last few years. Plus, Trump is a perfect character for a cartoon to satirize.

I dont care for the man, personally. He's obnoxious and I was a DeSantis girl but I voted for him because voting for Kamala wasn't even a reasonable alternative. However, I have never seen a person who has been so irrationally hated more than Trump. It's embarrassing for grown adults to have the ridiculous reactions to him that they do.

The first one had at least a little bit of humor in it, the second two were just ridiculously stupid. What they're actually making fun of is stuff that's actually working and doing well for our country so it makes no sense. I get it when you make fun of something that is ridiculous or not working but they're picking on things that are actually positive for our country. It's just TDS for TDS sake. The third one was just awful. I barely even made it through.

This show is always the funniest when they're just dealing with the kids. Some politics now and then is funny but they just cannot get Trump and Vance out of their ****ing minds.

All that material with Biden, Kamala, the health guy who thought he was a chick, The other guy that thought he was a chick who stole the luggage, etc., Buttigeig and racist bridges, for four years and they get their panties in a twist over Trump.

But it is what it is. I wish they just get back to the kids though.

I don't personally hate the guy. Not in the least bit.

However, he's a public servant. He is not a king. He is not a deity. He is not someone to be worshipped or glorified. His entire job is to uphold the Constitution and serve the people. Instead, Trump focuses almost entirely on "owning the libs."

MAGA lines up ready to drink his bathwater and kiss his feet. If you don't, then you're a lib with TDS.

Most Trump supporters dont think of him as a king or deity but it's nice to finally have someone who stands up to dumb ass ideas that have been sending us to ruin for decades. Democrats are used to Republicans being the controlled opposition and that's not Trump. He doesn't roll over so the left gets incensed. Personally, I roll my eyes when he goes on his rants but I also have to admit that it is hilarious to see some of the conniption fits that ensue.

If anything, Obama was treated like more of a deity than Trump.

This is a show that once had an episode about a possible nuclear device hidden in Hillary Clinton's private parts. This is also the same show that was praised a few years ago for putting out a special about how Disney recasts roles by making them black and gay.

They do stuff like that, and stuff like this season, but that's juxtaposed with some of the great, intelligent episodes they've put out there.

I can't remember what it is called but they have a phenomenal episode on the impact of social media on kids, relationships, and mental health. When Parker is in the zone it can be one of the most intelligent shows on television.

I do think they've gotten a bit lazy over the last several years.

"If anything, Obama was treated like more of a deity than Trump."

There's so much opportunity to poke Barry. His confession regarding daydreaming about having sex with men and Michell's Ellen video are tailor made for SP.

Throw in some Hillary, Sleepy Joe, poopie pants Nadler (and Joe), day trader Nancy, KJP defending all of them in a press conference, …. So much material

You never asked "why ISN'T south park making fun of MY favorite politician" during the previous administration though...


The rest of it know that, even though they make fun of Timmy, Biden was entirely too disabled for even South Park to do that to him...

Yep. Toeing the company line.

It's a shame they punted on the Biden years. They're still funny, just more corporate now.

correct, because i don't have a "favorite politician," that would be a very bizarre thing for any normal person to have

I don't get offended by anything South Park does. Been a huge fan of the show since I was old enough to watch it. My only complaint is it's just so redundant to hit the same bit over and over when there is so much more content they could cover (in addition to making fun of Trump).

Give me the boys playing Israel vs Palestine where Cartman gets to go to war with Kyle:

Give me Butters trafficked to Epstein Island

Give me the "Last of the Meehicans" callback where Mantequilla gets deported by ICE.

Half the democrat senate leadership is ripe for attack. If Kristi Noem's face is falling off what the hell could they do with Pelosi?

Swift/Kelce ala the Meghan Markle episode

Dozens more ideas just hit something besides the 3 episode dead horse that is Trump/Satan. It's just not exciting to turn on and watch when you know the schtick already

Just let it go

let the jokes rise or fail on their own

There are still funny parts

They were always successful with baseball like hitting averages, not everything lands. When their bias gets in the way it'll be evident.

Not everything is "SUper Cereal!"!

Hey cool...


So, you're like the rest of us that don't have a "favorite politician"...



It's bizarre that you accuse others of it, though...

Or are you claiming that others here are not normal people?

I remember a quote from one of them, regarding political views they both share.

"We hate Republicans, but we really hate Democrats"

Biden was an easy target, but they really didn't make a lot of episodes in that time period. Trump is an easy target, and it fits well with the new contract with Paramount.

Ladies and gentlemen,

This is why the left sees any Trump voter as a bootlicker. They cannot fathom that people can vote for a politician because they agree with their stances and nothing else. The left sees their politicians as saviors, so they postulate that the right must also view theirs through that same lens, and cannot possibly fathom why anyone would "worship" Trump.

"………..because they agree with their stances and nothing else."

Really???

Half of Trump's views/policies are liberal. If it was all about "stances and nothing else" why does the MAGA crowd make excuses for these views and find ways to rationalize how these liberal policies are now good? It's a simple answer. He keeps his base happy on a few high profile issues…………they love the man (worship if you like) and don't seem to care that he's a NY liberal on other issues.

If a voter is truly a fiscal conservative and cared about the issues, maybe one day, we'll actually elect a fiscal conservative.

Well, the other choice was socialism and DEI shoved up our ass, so forgive the right if they like most of his positions...

BTW, it's not "half"...it's "some".

And the more attention (like OP and I'm sure many a maga on the twitter) they get, the more it pays off for them.

Even negative attention is good attention when it comes to the entertainment industry.

What does it make them though, if they really didn't go after Biden? Puts them on par with Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Whoopi Goldberg and other flaming libs in my book.

I always assumed they did make fun of him (I dont watch the show). If they didn't, it reveals an awful lot about themselves….he was a comedic goldmine.
