Well, this is rich.
After decades of gleefully torching every sacred cow in pop culture and politics, South Park finally found someone they can’t take a joke from: the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Yes, a federal agency made a better joke than the professional comedians, and the meltdown that followed wasn’t just telling—it was downright hilarious.
Let’s back up a second. The latest South Park episode went after President Donald Trump—again. No surprise there. The show has mocked him before, and honestly, sometimes it was funny. Nobody on the right is whining because the cartoon made fun of Trump. We’ve got thicker skin than that. The problem is, this time… it bombed. Hard.
Picture this: Trump begging Satan for sex, with a generous serving of—you guessed it—pe**s humor. That’s the joke. That’s the entire bit. Somewhere between lazy and weirdly desperate. South Park used to be clever. This wasn’t clever. This was a 15-year-old’s failed attempt at edgy, minus the charm.
And then came the White House response, which didn’t even need to try that hard. They dismissed South Park as “irrelevant for the past twenty years.” Brutal? Sure. But was it wrong? Well, keep reading.
Because that’s when South Park decided to double down. They posted a fake image of Trump, virtually naked, and tried more limp pe**s jokes. Once again, zero substance, zero originality, zero punch. For a show that made its name on biting satire and fearless jabs, this felt like watching an aging rock band trying to “be cool” with TikTok memes. Cringe.
But then something unexpected happened: the Department of Homeland Security walked onto the stage… and stole the show.
They took a still from South Park’s new trailer—one that depicted ICE agents with covered faces in black cars—and flipped it into a recruitment ad. That’s right. DHS launched a smart, slick, and wildly viral promotion for “JOIN.ICE.GOV,” complete with patriotic imagery and a bonus: Uncle Sam himself calling on Americans to serve. Boom.
That post? Over 12 million views. And counting.

Now, any normal comedy show would’ve laughed that off. Maybe even admired the creativity. After all, isn’t that what satire is supposed to do? Spark conversation? Play back and forth with the culture?
Not this time.
Warning Graphic Content:
South Park, the show that mocked every sacred institution under the sun, got offended. So offended, in fact, they clapped back like a petulant teenager: “Wait, so we ARE relevant?” followed by the incredibly mature hashtag #eatabagofdks.**

Ah yes, the high art of pe**s references. Again.
Think about the irony here: South Park—the show that built its empire on mocking people who can’t take a joke—just completely unraveled because the Department of Homeland Security dared to make a better joke than them. Not only that, but DHS used South Park’s own imagery against them and turned it into a message of patriotism and service.
And they couldn’t take it.
Instead of responding with wit or humor, they got nasty. That’s not edgy—that’s insecure. That’s the exact kind of fragility they’ve made a living mocking. You expect this kind of reaction from blue-haired gender studies grads in a Berkeley coffee shop—not from the creators of Cartman and Mr. Hankey.
Never thought I’d live to see the day when the federal government became funnier than South Park (intentionally). https://t.co/HU4GzPaPEU

ICE just did the impossible – what hasn’t been done in 30 years.
They put South Park on tilt.

So here we are. A show that once roasted Hollywood elites, mocked political correctness into the ground, and practically invented shock-value satire, now finds itself flailing, defensive, and increasingly irrelevant.
And when the federal government out-memes you? It might be time to rethink your brand.
Or better yet, apply to ICE. They’re hiring.
