After uproar, 'South Park' pummels Trump again and hits at JD Vance, Kristi Noem - Lemmy.World

“South Park” is back to once again mock President Donald Trump — and this time, Vice President JD Vance, too. The Comedy Central show took aim at the president, as well as Vance and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in its latest episode, “Got A Nut,” which aired on Aug. 6. The episode revolves around school counselor Mr. Mackey being fired from his job and, because he’s desperate for money, joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A parody ad for the federal agency mocks its recruitment process, with a jingle declaring, “We don’t ask for experience, just show up!”

To be honest the funniest part of that whole episode was Vance. I lost my shit at the end when he came up.

The fact they did a fantasy island gag was perfect. Not many got the joke.

It’s an old drama series from the late 70s. Essentially it’s an exclusive private island. Guests were granted so-called “fantasies” on the island for a price. JD Vance portrayed as Tattoo. Tattoo would run up the main bell tower to ring the bell and shout De plane! De plane! to announce the arrival of a new set of guests at the beginning of each episode. In later seasons, he arrives in his personal go-kart, sized for him, and recklessly drives to join the host for the visitor reception while the staff scramble out of his way.

So the parallels between Epstein island and other things lined up so well overall.

Also ran well into the 80’s with new episodes.

They also rebooted it twice. Once in the 90’s and once recently. I don’t know if Tattoo made a comeback, so only people 35 and up might get that reference.

I think the recent reboot is inexplicably a horror b-movie, yeah? Very weird.

Also, the little person committed suicide in real life
Show threadArmchairAce1944Aug 10, 2025
He lived a fairly tragic life. But while on the show he was an asshole, constantly proposing marriage to female employees and demanding more and more pay, even wanting more pay than the star of the show. He was eventually fired because he was just too difficult to work with.

Lol, so the guy was an Incel, good fucking riddance to his ass. I did not know these alarming details, thank you. He killed himself because he couldn’t find a wife to make his life easier lol
Show threadArmchairAce1944Aug 10, 2025
He was not an incel. He actually did have quite a bit of sexual success, but it didn’t make him happy.
Show threaddickalanAug 10, 2025
Still have the mindset, so it still counts, he expected women to be at his beck and call. Or is that just conservative ideology either way fuck him

Like Fantasy Island didn’t have a radio … or a flight schedule. That show has aged like Corinthian leather.

Show threadHuginAug 9, 2025

It was pretty implied that the islands and Mr Roark were supernatural.The terrible remake made it explicit. Roark seemed to have control of the weather and things would happen to force the characters into learning the lesson they were there for.

Popular theory is the guests has just died and this was a last chance at being “good” before judgement.

How timely with ice just removing its age restrictions. Good stuff.
Show threadD_CAug 9, 2025

Talking of age restrictions…

“Do you think you could now be banging 24-year-olds,” Stern asked in the 2006 interview.

“Oh, absolutely,” Trump responded “I have no trouble.”

“Would you do it” Stern clarified.

“I have no problem,” the future president said.

Stern’s co-host Robin Quivers then asked, “do you have an age limit or would you…”

“If I- No, no, I have no age–. I mean, I have an age li…” Trump replied.

Then, when asked to provide his “upper bracket,” Trump said, “I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”

yahoo.com/…/trump-told-howard-stern-2006-22392845… (there are more sources for this)

So 13 is the obese imbeciles age limit … when talking on a national(?) radio show!!

  • Thirteen. Hmmmm. Why does 13 and tRUMP seem so icky and familiar. Oh, yes, now I remember…

    (If anyone doesn’t want to read this then basically he and Epstein tied up, beat, and raped a 13 years old and then made threats to keep them all quiet)
    • Here’s What Trump Told Howard Stern in 2006 When Asked About His Minimum Sexual Age Limit

    Donald Trump gave a startlingly low number when asked if he had a sexual "age limit" during a now-resurfaced interview with Howard Stern.

    Am I the only one just tired of South Park? Cool, they shit on Trump. Like, I don’t know what having him have sex with Satan does.

    The dude is funding and facilitating death camps by diverting funds from disaster relief programs.

    Our country is two years into directly funding and defending a genocidal state.

    I can’t bring myself to care enough to watch what fart and sex jokes the “enlightened centrist” at South Park have to say.

    I’m just a bitter humourousless old man now I guess.

    Glad you asked. I’m a dues paying member of both PSL, SDA, and started working with a “Tech for Palestine” group I just joined after being fired from my job at Microsoft for working with the activist group “No Azure for Apartheid”.

    This week I have my first get together with the SRA (socialist rifle association).

    Maybe I’m a loser. Maybe I’m just trying to fill a void personally. But I definitely don’t wanna just sit back and watch.

    If you’re a non American I would tell you what I’ve warned my comrades in Europe, Canada or otherwise. The US empire doesn’t fall without the rest of the west. You can grab your popcorn. But the interest of American Imperialism are aligned with your capitalist as well.

    I look at it as absurdist political humor, just like when they were making fun of Al Gore with ManBearPig and Hilly Clinton with The Snuke. Then there was them roasting the shit out of Saddam Hussein in the movie.

    Rehashing Saddam Hussein as Trump was a bit lazy. They could have done better, but it was still entirely unexpected.

    Rehashing Hussein as Trump wasn’t lazy, it was to draw a parallel between the 2.
