South park it there, you can't get free-er
Say what you will about the US, but there's something that is awesome about its idea of freedom: Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated sitcom South Park 's merciless roast of the American president would be unthinkable in uncle-aunty countries. Even as Trump is seething at depictions of him in bed with Satan and an AI-generated sequence of him getting butt naked in a desert, no one has been tossed into a dungeon. At worst, South Park's parent company Paramount, which signed a $1.5 bn 5-year deal with the creators of the subversive show, will cut its losses after this expensive joke in the form of its new season opener, 'Sermon on the Mount'.The latest episode didn't just poke the presidential bear - it dressed him as a toddler, and sent him on a parade of absurdity so brutal it made stand-up satire look like polite gossip. And, yet, no censorship, no exile, no mysterious disappearance of Parker and Stone. Just outrage, applause, and thoughts about how fat the silver lining still is even in India-emulating Trumpland. You've got to admire a country where mockery isn't just tolerated, it's monetised. It's a celebration of critique and creative combustion. South Park is America's sweaty, profane love letter to liberty - proof that in a truly democratic society, even the most powerful person is fair game for fart jokes and genital takedowns.

Joe Rogan Responds to South Park's Mocking of Trump: 'Hilarious'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Podcaster Joe Rogan responded to the Season 27 premiere of South Park, which mocked President Donald Trump, during a recent episode of his podcast, describing it as "hilarious" and saying it is "the greatest show of all time." Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Rogan via email for comment outside of regular working hours. Why It Matters Rogan endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election, interviewing him on his podcast and later attending his inauguration.

Right, guests attend Paramount+'s South Park in San Diego event during 2025 San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2025. Saul Loeb - Pool/Getty Images/for Paramount+ Rogan has recently joined a cacophony of angry voices who have spoken out against Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department's handling of its findings from the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump's fan base has been in revolt since the DOJ released a two-page memo earlier this month, which said they had found "no incriminating 'client list'" after an "exhaustive review" of government documents related to the case. What To Know During Friday's episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan was joined by Mike Baker, and they discussed the Trump administration's handling of documents relating to Epstein. While they were discussing the "chaos" of current politics, Rogan brought up the South Park episode. The episode titled "Sermon on the Mount" depicts Trump in bed with Satan, complaining about the size of his penis, and arguing with the Canadian prime minister. The episode also referenced the "Epstein list," the alleged list of clients involved in convicted sex offender Epstein's sex trafficking operation. "There's so much chaos, there's so much madness," Rogan said, before asking Baker if he had seen the South Park episode. "They did a Donald Trump on with Satan." "It's f****** hilarious," he said. "They haven't given a f*** since the beginning, and it's the greatest show of all time," Rogan said. South Park's creators took the stage at Comic-Con in California shortly after the episode—and the ensuing slew of headlines about it—aired. The two were asked by panel moderator Josh Horowitz if they had been following the reaction to the show. Parker jokingly responded: "We're terribly sorry." What People Are Saying White House Spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone on Thursday morning that South Park: "Hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history—and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." What's Next The Season 27 premiere of South Park came after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus of the show, and came a day after the show's creators Parker and Stone had reached a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount. They signed a reported $900 million deal to extend South Park to Season 30, which should take the show up to 2027. The 26th season featured six episodes, so this season may take a similar format.

American sit-com South Park makes fun of President Trump in new episode
'South Park' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have revealed that they clashed with Comedy Central over a controversial scene in the Season 27 premiere of the animated series. The dispute centred around an animated image of Donald Trump's genitals, which the network wanted to blur — but the creators refused. The episode, titled 'Sermon on the Mount', aired just a day before Parker and Stone appeared on stage at Comic-Con on Thursday night. During a panel discussion featuring South Park, Beavis and Butt-Head, and Digiman!, the duo were asked whether Comedy Central had given them any notes or pushed back on the content. Parker explained: 'It's always like, 'So we love the episode,' but that's what happened. They're like, 'OK, but we're gonna blur the penis.' And I'm like, 'No, you're not gonna blur the penis.'' Stone added, jokingly, 'We put eyes on the penis.' Parker elaborated that their solution was to turn the animated penis into a character by giving it eyes. 'If we put eyes on the penis, we won't blur it. And then that was a whole conversation for about four f**king days. It's a character.' The Comic-Con audience responded with laughter throughout the exchange. Parker sarcastically opened the conversation by saying, 'We're terribly sorry,' referencing the bold nature of the episode. Later, when the moderator jokingly mentioned a subpoena, Stone quipped, 'That's fine, man, I'm ready.' The episode satirised both Trump and the show's corporate parent, Paramount, mocking Trump's legal tactics and reportedly false claims. In one segment, Trump appears nude in a Deepfake video and begs Satan for sex. A caption declares: 'His Penis Is Teeny-Tiny, but His Love for Us Is Large.' Trump's antis immediately took to X to make fun of the President of the United States. One person wrote, "The 'this show is SUPPOSED to be offensive towards EVERYONE' crowd when South Park calls Trump a pedophile (sic). 'I thought it was fine. South Park makes fun of everybody and that's why it's good (sic),' wrote another user. Another person commented, 'There's the easy takeaway of our president being a dictator, but bringing back Satan and separating Trump from Garrison are two moves that continues the trend of newer seasons emulating the early days of the show (sic).'
