South Park just humiliated the Trump administration again. Though this time it was less about Trump himself and more people in his orbit. But also it even started before the episode aired last night or because the Department of Homeland Security tried to use South Park as a way to promote itself.
Posting a still of the episodes teaser where ICE agents descended upon South Park with a caption, join.ice.gov. But then South Park ratioing the government commenting, wait, so we are relevant? Hashtag eat a bag of dicks. With that, of course, referencing the White House last month, responding to the first episode where they said,
the show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas and a desperate attempt for attention. But really whatever you think about South Park, they have people's attention. And they got it again last night on an episode school counselor, Mr. Mackey, where he loses his job because what the Trump administration is doing to schools and because he needs money, he joins ICE
for its large salary. And as they're mocking the low quality of people being allowed in to ICE, we are introduced to Trump's DHS secretary, Kristi Noem. And over the course of the episode, they really lean into mocking aspects
of why she's been called Ice Barbie, or whatever it seems to be for a photo shoot or a video. People are having to constantly put on makeup and jet stuff, just keep her face from falling off, which literally it does fall off. But in addition to that, they really lean into the dog controversy with Christy Noem, which in case you forgot,
she once told and then defended a story about how she shot and killed her own dog because it was untrainable. And over the course of the episode, she just shoots dog after dog in the face. She even snipes crypto. And as the credits run, she shoots up a dog store. And then as far as their critique of ICE,
you have the new recruits loading into trucks for the first ICE raid. You have an agent advising them, keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times, like it's a Disneyland ride. They raid a Dora the Explorer live show.
ICE even later raids heaven with Noam reminding her agents if it's brown, it goes down. And then separate from that, they included JD Vance this week as a pint-sized baby face sycophant whom Trump calls annoying and stupid. With Trump even kicking Vance off screen at one point like he's a football,
but the VP loyally returning to his side as if nothing happened. And then separate from the administration itself, South Park made fun of Charlie Kirk and Charlie Kirk types. like rage bait, influencer debate bros. With Carbin at one point who's taken on this role saying, these young college girls are totally unprepared so I can just destroy them and also edit out the ones that actually argue back well.
It just feels so good. And then notably as far as the reactions to this, this week we saw some of the people portrayed in South Park trying to roll with it. With Charlie Kirk saying the whole thing's awesome, he found it hilarious. Fans also seemingly taking that angle saying, well, I finally made it. Which, you know, seems to be a drastically different reaction
than from the first episode, where you had the White House going, they're not even relevant, and reports coming out that the real president was reportedly seething. And of course, all of this, it's playing out
as South Park has now 48 more episodes to go with their new contract. to go with their new contract. With them seemingly set up to be a fixture
