‘South Park’ mocks Trump with micro-penis jokes, tech CEO bribes, Satan hookup, and Towelie’s shocking twist in wild Season 27 episode.
“South Park” returned to its shock-jock form in Season 27’s third episode, “Sickofancy,” sending up a militarized Washington, D.C., tech CEOs and — of course — President Donald Trump in peak crude-comedy fashion.
The episode finds fan-favorite Towelie teaming with Randy Marsh to launch an AI-and-weed startup, then trekking to the capital to persuade the president to legalize marijuana — only to become one of many bizarre gifts Trump accepts.
The jokes land where you’d expect from Trey Parker and Matt Stone: Trump is ridiculed for a “micro-penis,” showers with Satan and is shown taking bribes — reportedly including cameos from Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook as part of a long line of people offering gifts to placate him.
The episode closes on a grotesque gag: Towelie is revealed to be the post-sex cleanup rag. It’s classic South Park shock wrapped in blunt satire.
Unsurprisingly, the White House pushed back. A spokesperson blasted the episode as irrelevant and accused the show’s critics of hypocrisy — a public snarl that only amplified the conversation online.
Creators Parker and Stone have leaned into the controversy this season, and social feeds lit up with reactions from viewers and the figures lampooned on screen.
If controversy is a ratings engine, Season 27 is revving. The preceding episode, “Got a Nut,” drew roughly 6.2 million multiplatform viewers in its first three days — the kind of audience numbers that prove South Park still gets attention despite (or because of) the outrage it courts.
Whether you find it brilliant or tasteless, “Sickofancy” is exactly what fans and critics have come to expect: fierce, uncomfortable satire that rarely pulls punches.
