South Park’s long-awaited 27th season kicked off with an all-out roast of Donald Trump just a day after creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone pocketed a $1.5 billion streaming deal from Paramount. In “Sermon on the ‘Mount” Trump’s shown in bed with Satan, obsessing over memes, mocking the size of his…you know, and getting grilled about an alleged “Epstein list.” The satirical blows keep coming as the show skewers Trump’s lawsuit payout from 60 Minutes, jabs at Paramount’s cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, and even pokes fun at Canada’s prime minister.
Behind the laughs there’s a punch of corporate revenge: fans and YouTuber analysts reckon Parker and Stone aimed to piss off both Trump and their new Paramount overlords—maybe enough to torpedo a proposed $8 billion FCC-tied merger. With Colbert lamenting his show’s end and Trump celebrating his firing on Truth Social, this premiere feels like a high-stakes power play disguised as juvenile humor.
