The creators of South Park are reportedly utilizing the “small-penis rule” as a defense against any potential backlash from Donald Trump following a controversial episode.
Known for their fearless satire, South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone have never shied away from targeting public figures.
They’ve previously taken aim at Tom Cruise with ‘fudge packer’ jokes, highlighted Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in ‘The Worldwide Privacy Tour,’ depicted Barbra Streisand as a power-hungry singer, and poked fun at Kanye West’s love of ‘fish sticks.’
In their recent episode, the focus shifted to Donald Trump, startling many viewers. The show depicted Trump as a 2D character with his face and often displayed him naked below the waist, emphasizing a rather small penis.
The episode, titled “Sermon on the Mount,” featured the president nude in bed with Satan.
In a comedic twist, Trump attempts to seduce the devil, who dismisses him by saying, “I’m not in the mood right now.
“Another random b**** commented on my Instagram that you’re on the Epstein list.”
Satan also mocks Trump’s genitalia, stating it’s so small he ‘can’t even see anything’.
While Trump is known for criticizing media portrayals, some legal experts suggest that South Park’s depiction, particularly the emphasis on his small penis, might protect them from legal action.
A defamation lawsuit would require Trump to prove that the show’s depiction of his genitalia is accurate or false.
If Trump pursued defamation claims, he would need to demonstrate that the description was both false and malicious.
Trump spokesperson Taylor Rogers commented: “The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after South Park for what they labelled as ‘offence’ content, but suddenly they are praising the show.
“Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows,” Rogers added. “This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
Parker later issued an apology to Trump during a Comic-Con International panel in San Diego, stating: “We’re terribly sorry.”
However, it remains unclear if this apology was related to their portrayal of Trump or another episode, possibly the one about the BP oil spill.
Meanwhile, JD Vance, another target in the episode, seemed to take it humorously as he was portrayed as a mini-version of himself serving Trump.
Vance responded on X: “Well, I’ve finally made it.”
