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.
I don’t know if they are still at a week turn around. They’ve already had a select few weeks pass where there was no new episode. It’s a good chance they just didn’t have it ready.
This season they’ve specifically said they’re on a biweekly release schedule. And then there was last week, which i still suspect they had an episode ready and it was denied.
:-/
I think the most relevant part is when Vance threatened Brenden Carr
Which is a direct quote by Carr about Jimmy Kimmel.
That’s probably the least funny thing I’ve seen that included the words “Jimmy” and “Carr” since the whole tax fraud scandal.
You reckon they delayed the episode about Kirk to thrash something else together so they could release that instead?

I wonder if they meant twice a month. Kinda of like how getting paid twice a months still means two months with three pay checks.

They did an episode about Kirk not too long before he was shot and it already aired.
I was legitimately expecting a followup with Cartman doing his Kirk act getting shot in the neck, but alas.
Stan: “OMG! They killed Cartman!”
Kyle (Unenthusiastically): “You bastards…”
Was that S27E04?
I guess I got the wrong end of the stick for 05 being delayed?
It was 2 or 3. 4 was the Labubu one.
Kirk wasn’t portrayed himself; instead Clyde and Cartman were both parodying him as “Masterdebaters.”
Ahhh yeah that one.
I’m not American so I didn’t get the Kirk reference.
Thought it was on about the loud bald one
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.
AmericaWorld.
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.
Everyone should be afraid of that right now. Nobody is immune.
