South Park fans convinced Donald Trump will cancel series over 'teeny tiny' manh
One person, however, who might not be so delighted about the satirical cartoon's return is President Donald Trump.
The opening episode, 'Sermon on the Mount', mercilessly mocked Trump, portraying him as a litigious sex pest who is in a relationship with Satan.
South Park also made several (quite literally) below-the-belt jokes about the US Commander-in-Chief's penis.
During one scene, when Satan and Trump are getting intimate, the president exposes himself to the Devil and declares, 'Come on, Satan, you know you can't resist this.'
To which the Devil replies, 'I can't even see anything because it's so small.'
Following the episode, a fake public service announcement aired, which showed an AI version of Donald Trump wandering through the desert naked.
As the president collapses in the desert, his penis (which can talk and appears to have googly eyes) declares, 'I'm Donald J. Trump and I endorse this message' before a voice over states, 'Trump! His penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large.'
Following the episode's premiere, fans were shocked and amused in equal measure, with many speculating how the notoriously thin-skinned president might react to the show.
Our South Park historian and deputy TV editor Tom Percival explains his thoughts on the significance of Satan sleeping with Trump…
Jokes are never funny after you've explained them. Still, as a journalist, it's fallen to me to explain the Trump gag, and this is a callback to the show's earlier seasons.
You see, South Park has a long tradition of showing Satan in relationships with problematic men.
In South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Satan was in a similar relationship with Saddam Hussein until the pair had a rather dramatic break-up.
The South Park co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker may then be attempting to draw parallels between the former Iraqi leader and President Trump; they've even animated the pair in the same fashion.
What are the similarities? Well, I don't think we have the right to dictate that to you.
'OMG South Park went straight for the jugular with Trump! The ending is amazing,' wrote @Pookerella on X.
'If you haven't watched the new #SouthPark… watch the new South Park. Maybe their best episode ever,' added @BlackMagicSama
'They told us what we all know,' wrote @TylerandAndrei. 'They are definitely going to try and give #SouthPark the Colbert treatment.'
@DowntownHWV meanwhile, perhaps summed it up most succinctly when they wrote, 'Trump is going to lose his sh*t'.
Other fans, meanwhile, couldn't help but point out that Paramount, who own the network that airs South Park, just paid Trump $16,000,000 to settle a 60 Minutes lawsuit.
This decision has been seen by critics as Paramount capitulating to the White House.
'The new #SouthPark is an absolute masterpiece and a shot across the bow to all those companies currently capitulating to Trump. Paramount should be ashamed,' wrote @BlackMagicSama
@defonotfranklin said, 'This is why I love South Park. They don't give a f**k and want to give us a clear message that Donald Trump is a piece of sh*t. F*ck Trump. F*ck idiotic MAGA supporters. F*ck Paramount.
'Holy smokes, South Park just went scorched earth on Trump for their season 27 premiere,' added @WUTangKids. 'Paramount is gonna love this after giving Trey Parker and Matt Stone a cool $1.5B streaming deal'.
Of course, not everyone enjoyed the episode @ajonestherapist branded the episode 'lazy ' and 'woke'.
'It has become self-aware of its own cultural cache and relevance,' he continued. 'It's leaning into it with the subtlety of Marvel humour.'
@gregorytangelo was similarly upset by the episode, claiming the series had 'jumped the shark'.
'Matt & Trey succumbed to the cancer of recalibrating storylines to trash Trump—without sarcasm, irony, or laughs' he wrote. 'The show used to poke fun at everything and everyone; now it's just a partisan hatefest—and only sociopaths want to watch that.'
Sadly, at the time of writing, South Park season 27 is not available to stream in the UK.
That said, we do know that brand new episodes of South Park season 27 at some date in the future and be available to stream on Sky.
Meanwhile, @RandMatthews 'South Park has gone woke. They must go broke.' More Trending
Sadly for Mr Matthews, it might be a while before the South Park team goes broke.
The co-creators have reportedly signed a deal worth $1.5 billion with Paramount to keep the show on the air for another five years.
Metro has reached out to the White House and President Trump for comment.

'Russia stunned into silence' by Donald Trump's nuclear subs move
Donald Trump announced the deployment of two nuclear submarines following "foolish and inflammatory statements" by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Russia has been left seemingly speechless after US President Donald Trump's decision to deploy two nuclear submarines in response to Moscow's rhetoric. The move, which saw the subs dispatched to "in appropriate regions" came after "foolish and inflammatory statements" by Russia 's ex-President Dmitry Medvedev. Mr Trump refrained from disclosing the exact location of the submarines or clarifying if they were nuclear-powered or armed. BBC's Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg reported a lack of immediate response from Russian officials, noting on BBC News: "Interestingly, there has been no reaction so far from the Kremlin, from the Foreign Ministry, from the Defence Ministry - anyone here, really. "I think everyone is trying to work out what on earth is going on and what, if anything, has changed in relations to where these nuclear subs are being positioned." Rosenberg observed that the announcement had unsettled Moscow's stock market, following over three years of "bombastic and provocative" commentary from Medvedev, reports the Express. He further noted: "There has been reactions from the Moscow stock market, which has fallen sharply. Judging by the reactions in the local media here, Russians are surprised to say the least by President Trump's post. "I suspect that nobody is more surprised than Dmitry Medvedev himself, because for more than three years he has been tweeting and posting some very bombastic and provocative social media posts - most of which have gone unnoticed, I have to say. "But now suddenly he has been noticed and he has gone under the skin of the President of the United States in a big way." Mr Trump revealed the submarine deployment on his Truth Social platform. He posted: "Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. "Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!". This followed Medvedev's warning to the US president about Russia's Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities that could be deployed as a final option.

Trump orders US nuclear subs repositioned over ex-Russian leader's statements
The move is 'based on highly provocative statements' from the country's former president Dmitry Medvedev. Mr Trump posted on his social media site that based on the 'highly provocative statements' from Mr Medvedev he had 'ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that'. The president added: 'Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.' It was not immediately clear what impact Mr Trump's order would have on US nuclear subs, which are routinely on patrol in the world's hotspots, but it comes at a delicate moment in the Trump administration's relations with Moscow. Mr Trump has said that special envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Russia to push Moscow to agree to a ceasefire in its war with Ukraine and has threatened new economic sanctions if progress is not made. He cut his 50-day deadline for action to 10 days, with that window set to expire next week. The post about the sub repositioning came after Mr Trump, in the wee hours of Thursday morning, had posted that Mr Medvedev was a 'failed former president of Russia' and warned him to 'watch his words'. Mr Medvedev responded hours later by writing: 'Russia is right on everything and will continue to go its own way.' Asked as he was leaving the White House on Friday evening for a weekend at his estate in New Jersey about where he was repositioning the subs, Mr Trump did not offer any specifics. 'We had to do that. We just have to be careful,' the president said. 'A threat was made, and we didn't think it was appropriate, so I have to be very careful.' Mr Trump also said 'I do that on the basis of safety for our people' and 'we're gonna protect our people' and later added of Mr Medvedev: 'He was talking about nuclear.' 'When you talk about nuclear, we have to be prepared,' Mr Trump said. 'And we're totally prepared.' Mr Medvedev was president from 2008 to 2012 while Russian President Vladimir Putin was barred from seeking a second consecutive term but stepped aside to let him run again. Now deputy chairman of Russia's National Security Council, which Mr Putin chairs, Mr Medvedev has been known for his provocative and inflammatory statements since the start of the war in 2022, a U-turn from his presidency, when he was seen as liberal and progressive. He has frequently wielded nuclear threats and lobbed insults at Western leaders on social media. Some observers have argued that with his extravagant rhetoric, Mr Medvedev is seeking to score political points with Mr Putin and Russian military hawks. Mr Trump and Mr Medvedev have gotten into online spats before. On July 15, after Mr Trump announced plans to supply Ukraine with more weapons via its Nato allies and threatened additional tariffs against Moscow, Mr Medvedev posted, 'Trump issued a theatrical ultimatum to the Kremlin. The world shuddered, expecting the consequences. Belligerent Europe was disappointed. Russia didn't care'. Earlier this week, he wrote: 'Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10″ and added, 'He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country.'

Trump removes official overseeing jobs data after dismal employment report
Mr Trump, in a post on his social media platform, alleged that the figures were manipulated for political reasons and said that Erika McEntarfer, the director of the Bureau of Labour Statistics, who was appointed by former president Joe Biden, should be fired. He provided no evidence for the charge. 'I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,' Mr Trump said on Truth Social. 'She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified.' Mr Trump later posted: 'In my opinion, today's Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.' The charge that the data was faked threatens to undercut the political legitimacy of the US government's economic data, which has long been seen as the 'gold standard' of economic measurement globally. Economists and Wall Street investors have long accepted the data as free from political bias. After Mr Trump's initial post, labour secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said on X that Ms McEntarfer was no longer leading the bureau and that William Wiatrowski, the deputy commissioner, would serve as the acting director. 'I support the President's decision to replace Biden's Commissioner and ensure the American People can trust the important and influential data coming from BLS,' Ms Chavez-DeRemer said. Friday's jobs report showed that just 73,000 jobs were added last month and that 258,000 fewer jobs were created in May and June than previously estimated. The report suggested that the economy has sharply weakened during Mr Trump's tenure, a pattern consistent with a slowdown in economic growth during the first half of the year and an increase in inflation during June that appeared to reflect the price pressures created by the president's tariffs. 'What does a bad leader do when they get bad news? Shoot the messenger,' Democratic senate leader Chuck Schumer of New York said in a Friday speech. Ms McEntarfer was nominated by Mr Biden in 2023 and became the commissioner of the Bureau of Labour Statistics in January 2024. Commissioners typically serve four-year terms but since they are political appointees can be fired. The commissioner is the only political appointee of the agency, which has hundreds of career civil servants. The Senate confirmed Ms McEntarfer to her post 86-8, with now vice president JD Vance among the yea votes. Mr Trump focused much of his ire on the revisions the agency made to previous hiring data. Job gains in May were revised down to just 19,000 from a previously revised 125,000, and for June they were cut to 14,000 from 147,000. In July, only 73,000 positions were added. The unemployment rate ticked up to a still-low 4.2% from 4.1%. 'No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers,' Mr Trump wrote. 'She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes.' Mr Trump has not always been so suspicious of the monthly jobs report and responded enthusiastically after the initial May figures came out on June 6 when it was initially reported that the economy added 139,000 jobs. 'GREAT JOB NUMBERS, STOCK MARKET UP BIG!' Mr Trump posted at the time. That estimate was later revised down to 125,000 jobs, prior to the most-recent revision down to just 19,000. The monthly employment report is one of the most closely-watched pieces of government economic data and can cause sharp swings in financial markets. The disappointing figure sent US market indexes about 1.5% lower Friday.
