South Park Pushes Its Trump–Satan Satire Further in Season 27’s Latest Episode

Topical satire drives the episode, turning the Labubu craze into commentary on tariffs and Fox News.

Overview

  • The Sept. 3 installment continues the season’s recurring storyline involving President Donald Trump and Satan without resolving it.
  • The A‑plot follows Butters pursuing a sought‑after Labubu toy as prices spike under tariff policy, reflecting real‑world collectible scarcity.
  • Conservative media is a prime target, with Fox News portrayed as celebrating the president’s behavior rather than scrutinizing it.
  • Comedy Central confirmed the Wednesday premiere and next‑day Paramount+ streaming pattern, with the series on a biweekly cadence.
  • Episode 5 is scheduled for Sept. 17, extending a high‑profile run under Parker and Stone’s $1.5 billion Paramount+ pact and ongoing White House pushback.
