South Park Season 27 Episode ‘Got a Nut’ Takes Aim at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Estate, JD Vance, and Kristi Noem

South Park Season 27 episode Got a Nut aired on Comedy Central last night, and as expected it doubled down on Trump political satire.

This week’s episode was delayed from last week following the high-profile season premiere. Neither Comedy Central nor Parker or Stone have explained the skip, but during their San Diego Comic-Con 2025 panel, which took place the day after the Trump-skewering premiere aired, Parker said they were unsure what the next episode would be, revealing the decision was “super stressful.”

(Parker and Stone create each episode of South Park week by week, which makes for a chaotic production, but topical shows.)

Now episode two is finally here, and we can see South Park is still very much up for its fight with the Trump administration.

Warning! Spoilers for South Park Season 27 Episode 2 ‘Got a Nut’ follow:

Got a Nut featured a satirical parody of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as a Fantasy Island-inspired setting, and included portrayals of political figures such as Trump himself (again), Vice President JD Vance, and United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, weaving in themes of immigration enforcement and real-world controversies.

At one point Krypto the Superdog, fresh from starring in James Gunn’s DCU film Superman, swoops in, but Noem kills the poor pooch (the clip below is very much NSFW).

The episode even included Eric Cartman as American right-wing political activist, author and media personality Charlie Kirk.

Ahead of this week’s episode, South Park hit the headlines once again after the official Twitter / X account of the United States Department of Homeland Security posted a still from the episode two trailer to promote the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s website.

The still used was taken from the trailer for this week’s episode, which includes a shot of Mr. Mackey looking nervous in the back of an ICE van. Mr. Mackay loses his job and desperately tries to find a new way to make a living. Encouraged by Trump, Mr. Mackay ends up working for ICE.

South Park then responded to troll Donald Trump, quote tweeting the post with the following: “Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks”

That’s a direct response to the White House’s official statement in response to the South Park Season 27 premiere, which featured a scathing parody of President Trump.

“The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offense’ [sic] content, but suddenly they are praising the show,” Trump White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone.

“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. 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.”

The F.C.C. recently approved Skydance’s $8 billion merger with Paramount, which had needed Trump administration approval. Neither Parker nor Stone addressed the merger, which they had criticized for delaying South Park Season 27’s release date, during the Comic-Con panel, nor did they respond to the White House’s statement.

However, Parker and Stone have a big-money deal of their own: a reported $1.5 billion contract to make 50 episodes of South Park over five years for Paramount.
