No matter how hot the political temperature, Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s show can be counted on to go for the jugular. And with Brendan Carr in a mountain of poo and Israel’s PM in its sights, the latest episode doesn’t pull any punches
IIRC, they’re insanely fast. I think the turnaround time on a South Park episode is about one week, which is utterly ridiculous.
I don’t know if that Kirk episode will ever see the light of day, or if they’ll make any jokes about Kirk at all, especially while the Cheeto is in power. He’s repeatedly shown that he’s not afraid to abuse his authority.

They won’t touch Kirk again for a loooooong time for fear of political retaliation. The Master Debater episode was pretty great though.
These the guys that put Macho Man Randy Savage in as a trans woman?
The guys that drew Mohammed?
The guys who make half a billion dollars.
You think they’re afraid of political retaliation?
Yes. Making fun of transgender folks and Muslims won’t threaten your paycheck
What world are you living in where that is true?
It’s hard to have a paycheck when you’re dead, ask the Charlie Hebdo artists.

You were far safer in the Charlie Hebdo office in 2015 than anywhere bordering the state of Israel in 2025.
Besides, Comedy Central got a bunch of empty threats five years earlier.
Three years after the inflammatory posts, it was the organizers of the protest who were criminally convicted and thrown in prison.
Matt and Trey continued to post their own brand of inflammatory rhetoric without consequence.
Are you suggesting that Israel is going to bomb South Park Studios in retaliation or what?
I’m suggesting Israel has bombed vastly more Al Jazeera reporters and AP/Reuters photojournalists than ISIS has bombed Western satirical publications.

You reckon they delayed the episode about Kirk to thrash something else together so they could release that instead?
