“South Park” is back to once again mock President Donald Trump — and this time, Vice President JD Vance, too.
The Comedy Central show took aim at the president, as well as Vance and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in its latest episode, “Got A Nut,” which aired on Aug. 6.
The episode revolves around school counselor Mr. Mackey being fired from his job and, because he’s desperate for money, joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A parody ad for the federal agency mocks its recruitment process, with a jingle declaring, “We don’t ask for experience, just show up!”
Well said. It’s just pithy insults that are about 10 years too late. We need more than that right now, and they’re clearly not up to the task.
What exactly do you expect a few writers to do about Trump? Taking care of Trump is either the job of politicians, the military, or the workers, depending on how you want it done, and what kind of system you want afterwards.
I dunno. If only we had examples in history of writers causing massive political changes.
Oh well.
Do you really, seriously, expect comedy writers like Matt Stone and Tray Parker to be writers like Jean-Paul Marat? Or Marx? For reals?
Why not? Satire can be very powerful, and if you read the comments in this thread, you’d believe that they’re two of the best satirical minds of our generation.
Is their someone else major in media than is giving any pushback!? We may need more but they are what we need for the moment. At least someone is pointing out the absolute absurdity this all is.
