South Park is on hiatus for the next few months.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the long-running Comedy Central series, are admittedly tired of tackling Donald Trump for yet another presidential election. So much so, that they've decided to delay season 27 of the show until 2025 "on purpose" as Trump, 78, sets to face off against Vice President Kamala Harris.

"We’ve tried to do South Park through four or five presidential elections, and it is such a hard thing to—it’s such a mind scramble, and it seems like it takes outsized importance,” Stone told Vanity Fair.

Stone said that the election is "obviously...f---ing important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun."

Plus, as Parker pointed out, the pair "don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump.”

Stone and Parker — who started making the animated series in 1997 — previously crafted a long-running story arc centered on the 2016 presidential election, making Mr. Garrison (voiced by Parker) a Trump-like figure who goes up against Hillary Clinton and comes out victorious. Even donning the businessman's signature look, Mr. Garrison's turn as president lasted from season 20 through season 24.
Given the creators' confirmation that no new episodes will air for the remainder of this year, May's Paramount+ special, South Park: The End of Obesity, serves as the show's only release of 2024.

The special, which premiered on May 24, explored how "the advent of new weight loss drugs" had "a huge impact on everyone in South Park," as Cartman was "denied access to the life-changing medicine," spurring the kids to "jump into action."

Before the Ozempic-inspired special, the most recent episode of South Park aired on March 29, 2023 to conclude season 26.
The year before that, Parker and Stone chatted with PEOPLE about the series' landmark 25th season, and Stone said that the process of making the show has "become an even more spontaneous thing" as the years have gone by.

"It's a 'let's get in a room, figure it out, and do it right now' thing," he said of their writing strategy. "It's mainly just, 'We've got to get something to put on in two weeks. What are we doing?' We've proven to ourselves that the show does not get better with more time. We don't need more time."

Parker agreed, saying, "We take everything a show at a time and a week at a time. And that has always been best."

Still, though, Stone admitted: "It is not just fun and games doing South Park. It's brutal and stressful and terrifying at times, so once in a while, you get a show that is just fun. It's rare, but those are the ones that keep it going."

These are mostly normal thrifty person things. They’re just a shock to laptop class folks who’ve never had to budget.
On one hand, it is amusing to watch the laptop class discover bog-standard cost-saving techniques that those icky poor people have known about forever, all the while failing to realize this means they're in the process of joining the ranks of The Poors. I almost want to walk up to them and say "Welcome to being liquidity-disadvantaged, motherfucker!"

On the other hand, if the laptop class is joining The Poors, fuck me, that does not bode well for my own chances of climbing out of the financial hole I dug for myself before everything goes to total shit.

Nigga what in the FUCK is going on, we have the dems embracing fucking Cheney now? Am I fucking high?
No, there are not enough drugs in the world to make it make sense. It doesn't matter if they're anti-psychotics, antidepressants, psychedelics, hallucinogens, or any combination thereof. ECT and lobotomies also fail to make it make sense. You are witnessing the dissolution of the fabric of reality in real time.
 
Guys what am I doing wrong? I've been doing this for years and yet my grocery bill has still increased 1.5-2x compared to a couple years ago?
Do the almighty journos have any other obvious as fuck recommendations to help me avoid my lying eyes and not go into debt so I can feed myself and my family?

That sounds a lot like Russian disinformation to me!

Seeing the left unironically cheer for Dick fucking Cheney, Jesus I need a drink.

I pray to God that Peter Doocy asks Karine "Can you tell us about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's mutual love of Dick?"

"All these career politicians are standing up to Trump. This is clearly a good sign."

The Democrats should get a new logo to symbolise all the DINOs and RINOs coming together. What sort of image combines a RINO and a DINO? 🤔

Slight powerlevel but Springfield is my hometown. I haven't lived there in ages though. It's been a shithole for nearly 40 years and is absolutely doomed. The city has been held hostage by the same clique of old-boys families for years who truly function as big fish in their little, shitty feifdom. Now they have cooperated with NGO's and probably the feds to bring in a permanent underclass to endlessly rent out tiny properties to 20+ people to with guaranteed 3-5K in benefits monthly. They have deliberately kneecapped almost any attempts at improving the city or attracting actual outside investment (even from within the rest of Ohio) so that they don't feel threatened with competition. The ordinary locals will bitch and moan about the Haitians and what's left of the city will get far worse, but like a lot of Americans, it's all talk. They'll be submissive as long as the authorities scream about how racist they are. You'll hear rumors about pets disappearing, cars rolling into people's yards, mysterious crashes and horrific gang violence and murder but mystifyingly, nobody will bother to actually upload footage of it happening. Classic rust belt despair. Glad I got the fuck out.

It's getting out. Slowly. Social media age, they can't hide it forever.

Yeah, the vandalism going on in Springfield is terrible!

Here's an experiment I want Trump to do. Mass deportation of all immigrants allowed through the migrant crisis, absolute prosecution of governors/elected officials for sabotaging American cities for political gain, complete overhaul of all federal programs starting with the Department of Education. It's a big ask since the President does not have complete power given the Constitution. I wish to see those people suffer the consequences of their actions.

Joe Biden didn't give a shit about the Constitution when he did things like getting social media companies to censor people, so why should Trump if he wants to do everything you just said?

I they had balls, they would've gone after Biden anytime since 2020
Actually they fell apart to me during 2016, they were building like a legit fanbase to hillary, then that lost and went on to weed shit until this disney recent stuff. Now they're simpsons and faamily guy 'that show is still on?' They were like building hillary into this super villain genius. It wasn't funny and their Trump stuff wasn't any good either.

They had a decade of laughs around Dubya and he killed about a million people but when they get Trump of all people they can't make a decent joke. I fucking hate how humorless these cunts are.

I don't know if you remember this show, but I didn't watch that much SP in that time.

But..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That's_My_Bush! That show was, I remember it being hyped, Parker and Stone. I can't remember about it but it was like some proto-woke chringe, kind of and it was pre-9/11 so they made Bush into the hapless lovable doofus instead of the evil mastermind everyone played him as after.

In fact.. It was lot like from what I remember like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heil_Honey_I'm_Home!

The 1990 'Goofy Hitler sitcom' where he was like this lovable oaf. The Bush made it 8 shows and gone, the Hitler one was canceled immediately.

I mean this was and on the air in 1990.

I think if they aired that now Bibi might declare war on England. I mean if they made a lovably goofy Hitler movie or sitcom show now that was all nosy on his Jew neighbor I think Mossad would be doing wet work.

In fact I can't believe this has 1.2m views and Youtube still has it up.

I think the only time a Hitler comedy sketch went over ok was in Fawlty Towers long before.

Family guy's take on trump is worse since the show dehumanizes him.
 
South Park has been shitty for awhile now ngl, the early seasons are still the best
I figure that's just how television goes

This might sound silly, but how did you guys and girls learn about politics, and when did you become conservative?
Was raised catholic so I was conservative from the start. I think I'm also conservative by nature because it never felt necessary to be rebellious. I also hated the atheism present in the internet during the 2000s & it felt like such a relief when I found the Catholic Answers forums because it was one of the few friendly places.

I had a (lukewarm) liberal phase in the 2010s when I stopped being religious. It felt terrible because I still wanted to believe but there were too many contradictions.

What got me back to being conservative was the tranny BS. It made no sense to me but smart people I really looked up to seemed to be deep into it so I questioned myself. Maybe I'm dumb and just don't get it? Eventually I realized that if I wanted to be smart like them then I should believe things because they make sense to me and not because someone smarter believes it.

Ironically, trying to reason out and analyze political issues using a secular/nonreligious perspective made me more conservative, and I think that's because a huge chunk of liberalism is based on idealism and blank slatism. The liberal worldview relies on limitations and constraints not existing. A conservative worldview would rather accept that there are limitations and determine how to work around them to make the world a better place.

The delayed sentencing tells me two things:

1) their internals must be catastrophic

2) they will try to take T-Bone out again, so he needs to hop around and fly on any and all planes other than Trump Force One. Do a Big Don's limo convoy instead. Don't also think they're above just poisoning all food at all McDonald's in a 20 mile radius of every location he visits just to finish the job, no one is safe, it's for democracy.
They'll try to take him out if they see an opportunity that leaves no trace and looks like an "accident" But... They botched the assassination attempt and that doesn't leave them many clean options.

You know how the Dems are, they don't carefully plan ahead, have contingency plans or think about consequences. It's a gaggle of Muppets trying to get through one door. And one of them thought it was a good idea to shoot the doorman. The catastrophic failure of that attempt can not be overlooked. It made Trump more palatable to the Public and unified a lot of people around him. I would go so far as to say musk, RFK, tusi and even Zuckerberg would not have supported him as much now without it. It's given Trump a licence to actually be a peacemaker and step across the aisle.

The Dems can't shoot shit again without either risking a lopsided civil war, normalizing the idea of grass roots assassinations or risk further failure that will directly link them to the attempts.

They especially need to be careful now that Trump has vance, remember the shooting took place before the vp pick and likely influenced it.

It didn't even do just that, it straight-up emboldened a lot of conservatives to start actually talking and pointing out shit wasn't right.

Oh absolutely. There's going to be studies on how much that shooting changed the political landscape. I have no doubt it seriously damaged the credibility of the news orgs with anybody actually paying attention to the lack of coverage. I still remember how comically downplayed it all was.

Dumb as fuck argument. If niggers run around and rob and loot stores all the time then why dont I do that too?

Seriously retarded take.

Also as we all know dems get away with a looooot more then reps.
 
Personal analysis of mine looking at the democratic and republican strategists. I’ve also digested a bit of that information from seeing what article publications are planted pre debate to sway opinion. A whole lot of reading between the lines so take it with a grain of salt.

These “people” have certain ways of acting.

On the hard evidence and how I know, it’s all guesswork of how Trump operated in the 2020 debates coming in after doing his homework on the Burisma leaks. Trump paid his people to investigate everything about Biden during the Obama era.
Trump's strongest appeal to many people isn't his policies, it's that he's seen as a canonball aimed at the Deep State. Many people can't really articulate the pros and cons of given policies, especially economic ones. But everybody knows Washington is corrupt.

"Drain the Swamp" was the biggest selling point first time around. He needs to push some Rocky II back-to-finish-them stuff. That's what people want more than anything right now: someone to clear out the Augean stables that is the current political establishment. If people believe he can do that, he'll win. And his advantage over Kamala is that everybody knows she wont.
