Donald Trump, JD Vance Take a Brutal Hit From 'South Park' Creators in Latest Savage Skit - What Episode Was It?

Published 08/07/2025, 12:40 PM EDT

South Park launches yet another unhinged laughter strike toward Donald Trump, this time aiming for his inner circle. A legendary animated series that is notorious for its brutal digs at pop culture events, tycoons, high-profile celebrities, and more, for almost three decades, it has held the crown of parody. The legacy of the show is one of bold wit, criticism, and lampooning of the socio-political zeitgeist. Not just Presidents, even Satan cannot escape its scathing comedy. 

When satire pummels harder than sparring gloves, the world laughs at the one burned at the stake of humor.

Trust South Park to always traverse along the darkest ridges of risky humor, even if it means animating the President of the USA having a cozy with Satan and a pint-sized JD Vance. In Season 27's second episode, Got a Nut, the show brings its trademark chaos to Trump and his aides. Vice President Vance is caricatured as a miniature, obsequious character, a Trump sidekick. Vance is subjected to humiliating tasks, including being kicked off-stage and instructed to, in his own words, "put the baby oil on Satan's a—e." The episode also includes Mr. Mackey's appalling recruitment into ICE after he loses his job as counselor of South Park Elementary.  

Meanwhile, Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary, is also reimagined as a grotesque figure reminiscing about her infamous dog-shooting confession, pictured in ICE training scenes. This savage skit is a direct installment of the premiere episode of the show's latest season, which dropped on July 23 on Comedy Central. In Sermon on the Mount, Trump was animated into graphic scenes involving Satan, and running through the desert naked. In response, the President, however, found the show irrelevant and unfunny.

Just when South Park's timelessness is questioned, responses from the lampooned prove it otherwise, like clockwork.

Well, at least there is acknowledgement in a rather unexpectedly gracious response from JD Vance and the ICE. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the account for the United States Department of Homeland Security posted a still from a teaser for the latest South Park episode. To this, the show replied by tweeting, “Wait, so we ARE relevant?" a direct response to Trump's recent outburst over the previous episode's deepfake satire. Meanwhile, JD Vance simply acknowledged his appearance in the episode, tweeting how he has finally made it.

While South Park stands on business with its top-notch humor, the President is stuck in a maelstrom of off-topic controversies outside of core politics and more into popular culture. Recently, Trump has been pitting Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney against his greatest foe, songstress Taylor Swift, over American Eagle's latest ad. He has also been involved in a thinly veiled swipe at Stephen Colbert following the sudden cancellation of The Late Show. As South Park happily ridicules his regime, various legal intrigues and cultural confrontations still trail Trump's every step.
