“South Park” has at all times been incendiary and controversial, from its early days as an animated present with very R-rated humor, to sufficient banned episodes on streaming and controversies to begin worldwide incidents. Although the final couple of seasons have been barely much less biting of their parody and commentary, “South Park” is again in season 27 with its most surprising and politically charged episodes in a number of years. The premiere had twice-impeached president and indicted felon Donald Trump within the position the present as soon as gave to Saddam Hussein (because the boy toy of literal Devil). Now, the second episode turns its eyes towards the sheer trendy evil of ICE.
Within the new episode, Matt Stone and Trey Parker proceed their conflict on the present administration (slightly than their company overlords at Paramount) with an episode that follows Eric Cartman as he turns into livid over individuals taking what he views as his distinctive bigotry and hatred and turning it right into a worthwhile enterprise. Particularly, he will get mad that Clyde begins a podcast all about saying sexist and anti-Semitic nonsense, regardless of not believing any of it, just because it makes some huge cash — riffing on right-wing grifters like Charlie Kirk.
The opposite storyline follows Mr. Mackey after he is fired from his job as the varsity counselor attributable to price range cuts mandated by the federal government. Determined to make ends meet, Mackey accepts a gig working for ICE in kidnapping individuals of coloration and detaining them for no cause. This culminates within the episode’s darkest joke, which may trace at a future episode that offers with the most well liked matter in American politics proper now — and it’s all due to Dora the Explorer.
South Park could also be hinting at its boldest episode ever
Throughout the episode, ICE raids a “Dora the Explorer” stay present, kidnapping everybody who suits the “if it is brown, it should go down” mantra of the present Secretary of Homeland Safety and confessed canine assassin, Kristi Noem. ICE even raids heaven as soon as they be taught that Latinos have made it there.
Later within the episode, Mr. Mackey is invited to Mar-a-Lago by Trump, and “South Park” spoofs the place as a deranged model of the resort from “Fantasy Island” — with JD Vance because the Tattoo to Trump’s Roarke. Contained in the resort, we see poor Dora the Explorer now working as a masseuse and rubbing the ft of an outdated man who followers consider to be Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz.
The ICE storyline is already good, because it does not simply painting the evils of the American Gestapo, and it does not simply insult the cowards who cover their faces as they kidnap individuals. Along with all that, the episode additionally particularly exhibits how dumb your complete endeavor is, as it’s comprised of many determined people who find themselves grossly unequipped and unfit for any form of authority however are additionally determined for a paycheck.
That is no doubt “South Park” teasing the much-talked-about connection between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, with teenage Dora the Explorer basically getting intercourse trafficked to a resort filled with wealthy outdated males. It is extremely doubtless that is the place season 27 of “South Park” is heading, and it is darkish stuff.
