‘South Park’ garnered incredible viewership during its season 27 premiere on Comedy Central. What’s behind this newfound success for Matt Pierre and Trey Parker’s comedy series? The first episode poked fun at Donald Trump, without resorting to Professor Herbert Garrison, who had assumed the role of US president in previous seasons. Want to watch a rerun? Today is the perfect day to do it.
What’s the controversy between ‘South Park’ and Donald Trump all about? Spoiler Alert
A week has passed since the episode titled “Sermon on the Mount,” in which the series starring The Boys (Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Kenny McCormick, and Eric Cartman) decided to parody Donald Trump using the same formula that worked in the past with Saddam Hussein, the late former president of Iraq, and his homosexual relationship with Satan. Sensitive topics were also touched upon regarding alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late tycoon accused of pedophilia cases in the United States.
The episode caused outrage in the White House itself, but this isn’t the first time Matt Pierre and Trey Parker have dared to challenge the system and aren’t afraid of being canceled on television. We remember the controversial episodes where they mocked Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, Oprah Winfrey, Mel Gibson, and even the Prophet Muhammad despite receiving threats from leaders of an Islamic group.
