\n\t\u201cSouth Park\u201d creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone did a quick video spot for the 19th Television Academy Honors, which aired on May 20. In it, they discussed their role in the world of comedy and explained why they made President Donald Trump a main character in the latest season of the iconic animated series.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor 30 years, you\u2019ve always had some group trying to tell you what you can and can\u2019t say,\u201d Parker said. \u201cAnd that group has changed. That group has been liberal. That group\u2019s been Republican. We\u2019ve always known that our job was, we\u2019re supposed to be the joker. You need that. You need someone just making fun of things. It\u2019s a great thing to be able to be. And unfortunately, right now, we have a president who thinks his job is to be the joker.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStone then chimed in, \u201cAnd so that\u2019s why we dove into the [27th and 28th] season and actually put Trump in there and Jesus and started talking about Christian nationalism and all that stuff. Because we had to let people know, for better or worse, if you like it or you don\u2019t, it\u2019s like, this is us, ok? No one\u2019s telling us [what to do].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a two-year hiatus, \u201cSouth Park\u201d exploded onto airwaves in July 2025 with one of the most explicit and politically charged seasons in its history. The Season 27 premiere introduced Trump as a major antagonist and showed him in bed with his lover and baby daddy, Satan. The episode ended with a PSA featuring a deep-faked naked Trump bumbling through the desert. It was capped with the slogan, \u201cTrump: His penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an interview with the New York Times, Parker explained they added Trump to \u201cSouth Park\u201d not because \u201cwe got all political,\u201d but instead because \u201cpolitics became pop culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s like the government is just in your face everywhere you look,\u201d Parker said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s the actual government or whether it is all the podcasters and the TikToks and the YouTubes and all of that, and it\u2019s just all political and political because it\u2019s more than political. It\u2019s pop culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
