South Park has returned with a vengeance. The season 27 opener takes aim at Donald Trump, Paramount, and the culture wars—delivering a savage mix of satire and absurdity in under 23 minutes.
The episode, titled “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” openly mocks Trump’s insecurities, legal issues, and cultural impact while dragging the show’s own network through layers of self-referential humor. The result is one of the boldest openers in the show’s recent history.
Trump becomes the punchline
Trump is portrayed using his actual photograph, with a storyline centered on a fictional White House painting that depicts him with a notably small manhood. The character reacts with humiliation and paranoia, setting off a chain of exaggerated scenes built around public embarrassment.
In a later moment, Trump appears in bed with Satan, who rejects him and alludes to the infamous Epstein list. The scene escalates the ridicule, layering in real-world scandals and conspiracies with cartoon absurdity. Everything about the portrayal is designed to humiliate and provoke, fitting the show’s history of attacking power with satire.
Paramount gets caught in the crossfire
Beyond Trump, the episode targets Paramount directly. It references the recent legal settlement involving a 60 Minutes lawsuit, drawing parallels to cancel culture and corporate liability. The writers use a subplot involving PC Principal and Jesus to amplify the chaos.
Jesus is brought into South Park Elementary to battle “wokeness,” but when parents object, he threatens cancellation unless they settle. The storyline mirrors the kind of brand management battles corporations like Paramount face when navigating politics and public backlash.
The show uses this chaos to highlight the contradictions between free expression, corporate oversight, and political optics.
A fake PSA closes the show
The episode ends with a computer-generated Trump PSA, styled to appear pro-Trump. But it quickly turns into another gag about his manhood and image obsession. The visual style, tone, and timing leave no ambiguity about the show’s stance.
Instead of wrapping up with resolution, the show ends with chaos—using irony and digital parody to make its final point.
Massive deal fuels more episodes
This season premiere aired just as Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a five-year deal worth an estimated $1.5 billion with Paramount. The contract includes five more seasons of South Park, each with ten episodes, and exclusive rights to all 26 past seasons on Paramount+.
The timing of the premiere was no accident. It set the tone for how the creators plan to use their creative control moving forward. The new episodes signal a continuation of sharp political commentary with no intention of backing down.
Season 27 raises the stakes
South Park has never been subtle, but this season premiere confirms that the show is doubling down. By mocking political figures, corporate giants, and modern culture all at once, it positions itself as a frontline provocateur once again.
The message is loud, clear, and unfiltered—South Park mocks Trump, and it’s only the beginning.
