In what may be one of its most audacious moves yet, South Park has stunned viewers with its latest episode, “Sermon on the Mount,” which culminates in an AI-generated political ad ‘endorsing’ Donald Trump. The surreal twist, tacked onto a storyline featuring Jesus visiting the school to teach Christianity, has sparked widespread buzz on social media.
The controversial clip is widely seen as a direct jab at Trump, who recently filed a massive lawsuit against Paramount (parent company of Comedy Central) over allegations of defamation. Fans and critics alike are speculating that the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are retaliating in their signature irreverent style—blurring satire, provocation, and corporate defiance.
This isn’t the first time South Park has baited powerful institutions—remember their infamous takedown of the Church of Scientology? But this latest stunt feels different: bolder, riskier, and possibly self-sabotaging. Some are even suggesting the showrunners may be trying to get themselves fired, perhaps as a way to exit their long-running contract on their own terms.
How the AI-generated Trump ad passed Comedy Central’s approval process remains a mystery. Legal experts predict Trump may respond with yet another lawsuit—potentially for damages exceeding what the network could pay.
One thing’s for sure: South Park isn’t just pushing boundaries—it’s obliterating them. Watch the episode. You won’t believe it until you see it.
