Eric Cartman, Welcome (for Now) to the Resistance
There is a slang term that, because I am not writing this for a foul-mouthed satire on a streaming service, I will refer to as 'bleep-you money': the amount of cash you need to feel free to do and say what you want. For Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the makers of 'South Park,' that number appears to be around $1.25 billion — the price tag on their recent deal with Paramount. Once the ink dried, they put their mouths where their money was, going hard after President Trump and their own corporate benefactors. The Season 27 premiere aired July 23, shortly after Paramount agreed to a lawsuit settlement with the president that the late-night host Stephen Colbert called a 'big, fat bribe,' and shortly after CBS, which Paramount owns, announced that Colbert's show would end next year. (Paramount said the move was purely a financial decision.) In the episode, 'Sermon on the 'Mount,' the president is suing everyone, and everyone — from local governments to '60 Minutes' — is giving up. The town of South Park has to literally bring Jesus (a recurring character since the show's earliest days) into its schools. President Trump appears as a tinpot dictator, in bed (again literally) with Satan. Desperate, the townspeople turn to Christ, who bestows his wisdom: 'All of you, shut the [expletive] up, or South Park is over,' he says. 'You really want to end up like Colbert?' In the follow-up episode, the school counselor, Mr. Mackey, gets fired because of funding cuts and signs up with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ('If you need a job, it's A! Job! To have!' goes the recruiting jingle.) Mr. Mackey and his inexperienced comrades pull up their face masks, bust a 'Dora the Explorer' live show (another repurposing of a Paramount property) and raid heaven to round up Latino angels. For good performance, Mr. Mackey wins a trip to Mar-a-Lago — here, a debauched Fantasy Island with President Trump as Mr. Roarke and Vice President JD Vance as Tattoo. Want all of The Times?
