South Park returned to television on Wednesday after a nearly two-and-a-half-year hiatus, kicking its 27th season off with a hilarious and, as expected, controversial premiere, where the show took on President Donald Trump, showing a depiction of him in bed with series regular, Satan.

Government censorship, the death of wokeness, ChatGPT, and religion in the nation’s public schools were the main topics of the season premiere. After Cartman learns of the cancellation of the radio show where “liberals bitch and whine about stuff,” an assembly is called by series favorite PC Principal, who introduces a guest at an assembly: Jesus Christ. Before the first act break, the town’s parents are rioting and a cut-out of President Trump turns up, as the plot shifts to the White House and a president at odds with Canada and lying naked in bed with Satan, with his small penis on full display.

Trump is back in bed with Satan in the following scene, where the devil confronts the president about rumors that his name appears on the notorious “Epstein list.”

“It’s weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax,” Satan says, adding that Trump reminds me a lot of someone else he dates, an allusion to his beau in the 1999 movie South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, in which Satan is romantically involved with Saddam Hussein.

Found out about this because of a MeidasTouch post on Bluesky:

1. I think they......

Over exaggerated the size of his winkie by quite a bit, but I'm glad to see Satan is dating again after the loss of Saddam

2. Don't they have a history of both-sidesism?

There was a window of not-too-distant past when a subdemo of largely white men considered themselves "South Park republicans." I attribute it to the fact that Parker and Stone could ridicule conservative extremes, but it was always mitigated with ridicule of anything not conservative. Their attack on "woke culture" is one specimen. Of course, "woke culture" is not breaking up families, keeping wages low, strengthening corporate strangleholds, or leaving pregnant women to die in parking lots. When it comes to what is destroying lives, it's not "woke culture."

I've described this artistic phenomenon as "white boy humor" which is produced by creators who lazily find humor in ridiculing everything because when you're white, everything can be funny.

I contrast this with what I think is the most important contribution of comedian George Carlin. In the video below, he talks about the tradition of punching up in comedy rather than punching down. I believe he's speaking specifically about Andrew Dice Clay, but the point he makes is, well, on point.

3. at the end he says "i'm sure andrew isn't ???" mad at any of these targets, he's just playing it as a comedian

something like that -- but he said andrew so yeah, it's dice clay

(who i never could stand btw)

carlin seemed to be searching for a descriptive word or two for that sort of audience and i kept thinking: bro culture (yuck)

i miss carlin and frank zappa and their opinions and takes on society

4. 1.5 Billion? Inflation is really getting out of control.

I guess the dollar isn't worth a crap anymore.
