South Park has taken a scathing jab at Donald Trump following the Republicans’ recent midterm losses. Although the president doesn’t make an appearance in the new episode, the show delivered a pointed message aimed directly at him.
South Park’s latest Season 29 episode, “We Be Clubbin’,” opens with a direct swipe at Trump, addressing the November 3 midterm elections. During a school assembly scene, Mr. Garrison asks students to take their seats before bringing up the election results.
“Now I know you all heard about the midterms and the severe beating our president took,” the South Park Elementary teacher says. Referring to Trump, he adds, “And, of course, we could just go on and on and make a bunch of jokes about him, but it’s no fun punching down on a helpless loser. So we’re just gonna sort of not do that this week, okay?”
Mr. Garrison then announces that the school will now implement “liberal changes” under the guidance of the now openly progressive PC principal.
South Park’s latest episode moves beyond Trump to reunite fan-favorite characters
Following the jab at Trump, “We Be Clubbin’” sees the return of Tweek and Craig. After one of them forgets their anniversary, the two get drawn into club sports in a storyline that appears to reference the hit hockey romance series Heated Rivalry.
The episode marks Tweek’s first appearance on the show since 2021. Additionally, Craig hasn’t been featured in an episode since 2019.
South Park had previously mocked Trump earlier this year, when creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone rebranded the show to “South America” for Season 29. The change mocked the president’s controversial renaming of Lake Ontario to “Lake America” for U.S. federal agencies.
“Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA,” the duo shared in a statement. “We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount — a Skydance Capitulation.”
The next episode of South Park Season 29 arrives on Wednesday, November 25.
