Comedy Central: After a hiatus of over two and a half years, South Park returned to screens with its Season 27 premiere on Wednesday. The episode, titled “Sermon on the Mount”, wasted no time reigniting its trademark satire, targeting US politics, religion, technology, and media culture with biting humour.
The most controversial moment? A naked depiction of US President Donald Trump in bed with Satan,sparking immediate attention and debate online. The scene, layered with implications and biting commentary, served as the episode's most arresting visual, anchoring its overarching criticism of political obfuscation and distraction.
Trump, Satan, And Epstein Files
In a scene already making waves on social media, Trump is shown naked in bed with Satan, begging him for attention. When Satan declines, Trump pouts, “Come on Satan, I’ve been working hard all day,” to which the devil retorts: “You haven’t been working! You’ve been doing your stupid memes and just fucking around.” Trump then attempts to seduce Satan by pulling down the blanket, revealing exaggeratedly small genitals. Satan scoffs, “I can’t even see anything, it’s so small.”

The episode later takes a darker turn when Satan directly confronts Trump about the Epstein files, referencing the list of high-profile names allegedly linked to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Satan says: “It’s weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax.” The scene hints at growing public frustration over the secrecy and speculation surrounding the Epstein case and high-level involvement.
What Else?
Besides Trump, the premiere episode takes aim at wider cultural and political issues. Cartman is upset over his favorite NPR program being cancelled, symbolizing perceived government and corporate censorship. Randy Marsh struggles to stop Jesus Christ—another recurring character in the show—from taking over South Park Elementary, a satire on the blurring of lines between church and state in US public schools. The episode also features commentary on the rise of ChatGPT and artificial intelligence, contributing to its chaotic social critique of modern America.
Global Diplomacy Gets Roasted
In one segment set in the Oval Office, Trump is shown having an absurd exchange with the Canadian Prime Minister. When asked about imposing new tariffs on Canada, Trump responds with a threatening tone:
“You don’t want me to bomb you like I did Iraq!”
I thought you just bombed Iran?” the PM asks.
“I thought you just bombed Iran?” Trump responds, in confusion.
This surreal back-and-forth mocks Trump's erratic diplomacy and frequent misstatements during his presidency.

The episode also features a mob storming Mr. Garrison's house, only to learn he hasn't been in office for years—a jab at public misperceptions and the blurring of political identities. Toward the end, South Park turns its lens on media culture again by mocking the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, highlighting the fragility of liberal media icons amid shifting viewership and network decisions.
