“South Park” laughs at Trump over Homeland Security Ice Recruitment Post
“South Park” trolled President Donald Trump after Homeland Security used screenshots of the show on the Ice Recruitment Post.
“South Park” is back to laughing at President Donald Trump again. This time, Vice President JD Vance.
Comedy Central Show targeted Vance and the Vance of Christanoem, the Department of Homeland Security, in its latest episode, “Got a Nut.” This aired on August 6th.
The episode revolves around McKee, a school counselor, being fired from his job. Because he is craving money and is involved in immigration and customs enforcement. A parody ad for federal agencies laughs at the recruitment process, declaring Jingle “We don’t want experience, just show up!”
McKee is hired by ice on the spot and watches recruitment videos of gnomes shooting dogs repeatedly. This is a reference to the 2024 revelation that she shot and killed a “unable to quit” family dog. His first ice attack is at a live show of “Dora the Explorer”, where Gnome immediately shoots a service dog in the crowd. Ice then attacks heaven, and Gnome tells the agent that “just restrains brown ones.”
McKee is eventually invited to Mar Lago, where Trump offers to make him a “new face of homeland security.” Because Noem’s “face surprises me.” Trump then takes McKee to his bedroom, where he introduces Satan to his trousers and reading a book in his bed. Mr. Mackey is surprised to see Satan and leaves immediately.
During the Mar-a-lago sequence, Vance is portrayed as a Trump servant in a portrayal that appears to have been inspired by the Sidekick character Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize) of ABC’s “Fantasy Island.” At one point, Trump is troubled by Vance, kicking him very hard and jumping off the screen. After the episode aired, Vance responded with an X. “Well, I finally made it.“
Episode end credits show Noem in shooting at the pet store.
The White House previously denounced “South Park” for a Trump parody
The latest “South Park” episode aired two weeks after the show made waves with a parody of Trump in the season 27 premiere “Mount.”
The episode shows Trump going to bed with Satan, depicting him as the series portrayed Saddam Hussein in the past. “South Park” previously used the original character Garrison as Trump’s analogue, but Season 27 shifted by parodying Trump himself into parody using actual photos of the president placed on an animated body.
The “Sermon on Mount” centers around Trump suing South Park until the town reaches the settlement and agrees to do pro-Trump messaging. The episode ended with the announcement of fake public services shown by live-action Trump, who walks through the desert and removes all his clothes.
In a statement provided to USA Today, White House spokesman Taylor Rogers denounced “South Park” in response to an episode of Trump parody.
“The show has not been related in over 20 years and is hanging in a thread with ideas that have not been inspired by desperate attempts for attention,” a White House statement said. “President Trump has fulfilled his promise in just six months than any other president in our country’s history, and we cannot derail President Trump’s passionate streak.”
After appearing on San Diego Comic-Con on July 24th, “South Park” creators Tray Parker and Matt Stone sarcastically apologised for the Trump episode, saying, “We’re so sorry.”
Prior to the follow-up episode, the Department of Homeland Security on August 5 shared images of X’s portrayal in “South Park” this week, along with a link to how to join the agency. The official X account for the series immediately came out, “Wait, is that relevant?”
