“Cartman was worried ‘woke is dead,’ but after that episode, I think the real concern is that subtlety is dead. And it was buried naked in the desert.”
Weird thoughts about Season 27 prmiere of South Park? After watching season 27, it was disturbing, no doubt …but come on, seeing Trump’s genetelia or even thinking about it really is disturbing to say the least. Do you believe Season 27 premiere of South PArk was a bit out there?
You’re correct that the Season 27 premiere of South Park, “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” included controversial depictions of Donald Trump, and yes, it did feature his penis. Very scary, isn’t it?
The episode showed a cartoon version of Trump in bed with Satan, and Satan made a joke about the size of his penis. Later in the episode, there was a live-action deepfake segment where a naked Trump wanders through the desert, and a voiceover states, “His penis is teeny tiny, but his love for us is large.”
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have even commented on the decision to show it unblurred. They reportedly refused a request from producers to blur the animated depiction, and to get around it, they added eyes to the penis, effectively making it a “character” in their view.
This was certainly one of the elements that drew strong reactions and made the episode widely discussed, including a response from the White House.
