Following a season largely focused on satirizing Donald Trump, the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, want to emphasize that their show makes fun of all sides of the political spectrum. Their primary goal is simply to be funny. As Parker explained to the New York Times, they target any extreme viewpoints. They previously satirized “woke” culture for years and are now finding humor in the MAGA movement. The duo is drawn to controversial topics, and they focused on criticizing the Trump administration because speaking out against it had become culturally risky, following incidents like the cancellation of Colbert and suspension of Kimmel. Parker clarified that they didn’t suddenly become political; rather, politics simply became part of popular culture.
The latest season of South Park is proving popular, with the premiere drawing over 6 million viewers – the highest number in a quarter-century. This success means creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will continue to satirize the current administration, particularly as politics increasingly intersects with entertainment. As Parker explained, political influence is everywhere, not just from the government itself, but also through platforms like podcasts, TikTok, and YouTube, making it a dominant force in pop culture.
