South Park Acts Smart: “Go Woke, Go Broke,” Say Commentators

A scene from the South Park Season 27 premiere which aired on July 24, 2025. 

“South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone returned Wednesday with a blistering Season 27 premiere, lampooning everything from media conglomerates to President Donald Trump.

The episode centers on a fictional $5 billion lawsuit by a Trump character after locals protest Jesus appearing in schools — a satire of woke backlash and corporate censorship. “You saw what happened to CBS? Paramount owns CBS,” the Jesus character warns, nodding to real-world tensions around the Paramount-Skydance merger.

Trump is portrayed as a vindictive bully, threatening lawsuits and tariffs. In one jaw-dropping scene, Satan accuses him of dodging Epstein questions — comparing Trump to an ex, Saddam Hussein.

The episode aired amid news that Parker and Stone secured a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount+ for 50 new episodes. In a recent post, the duo blasted the Paramount-Skydance merger as a “s**tshow” disrupting production.
