South Park/Comedy Central
Paramount+ comedy show South Park went nuclear on its own streaming partner in its Wednesday episode, tearing into Paramount’s settlement with President Donald Trump and its subsequent cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
In the episode – which aired just days after Paramount reached a $1.5 billion deal with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the streaming rights to the show – Trump terrorizes South Park, America, and even Jesus Christ with lawsuits.
In a scene poking fun at Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump this month over a 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, a nervous 60 Minutes host attacks Trump’s protesters on the president’s behalf.
“This is 60 Minutes. Oh boy. Oh shit,” says a fictional 60 Minutes host as the show’s trademark clock is turned into a timer on a stick of dynamite. “Uh, oh God. The small town of South Park, Colorado, is protesting against the president. The townspeople claim that the president, who is a great
A 60 Minutes correspondent on the scene then reports, “Uh, oh God. Uh, Tom, I’m here with the townspeople speaking out against the president. It all started when a father got upset that Jesus was being forced on his son at school. Young Stan Marsh is questioning the president’s policies. I don’t know, I don’t know why he’s questioning the president, he’s probably a faggot or something, but the townspeople say they owe the president nothing.”
Jesus then descends from the heavens before telling the protesters, “Now just eat the bread and listen. I didn’t want to come back and be in the school, but I had to because it was part of a lawsuit and the agreement with Paramount.”
He continues:
You guys saw what happened to CBS. Well guess who owns CBS? Paramount! Do you really wanna end up like Colbert? You guys gotta stop being stupid! Just shut up or we’re going to get canceled, you idiots! […]If someone has the power of the presidency and also has the power to sue and take bribes, then they can do anything to anyone! It&
#8217;s the fucking president, dude! All of you shut the fuck up or South Park is over! It’s fucking over! Just stop and shut the fuck up!
In the next scene, South Park lawyer Gerald Broflovski can be seen talking to the president on the phone before saying, “Thank you, Mr. President. We’ll be happy to pay that, sir.”
Broflovski then announces to the citizens of South Park that he “got the president down to $3.5 million.”
“That’s really fair! I think that’s fair!” responds South Park resident Randy Marsh, as the mayor says, “We’ll just have to cut some funding for our schools and hospitals and roads and that should be that.”
Broflovski then adds, “Well, that’s not quite all. As part of the settlement, we also had to agree to doing pro-Trump messaging.”
The show then cuts to a video of a naked Trump in the desert. As he lays on the floor, a small penis emerges from his body and says, “I’m Donald J. Trump and I endorse this message.”
Just days after Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump, late-night host Stephen Colbert announced last week that The Late Show had been canceled by CBS, which is owned by Paramount.
The show was axed mere days after Colbert criticized Paramount’s settlement with Trump,
Trump celebrated Colbert’s cancellation in a Truth Social post, writing, “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!”
