‘South Park’ Torments FCC Chairman for Meddling With Jimmy Kimmel
South Park turned the tables on Brendan Carr in another defiantly anti-Trump episode.
South Park is out for blood with FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
A week after Carr apparently threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcasting license if they didn’t pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!, causing Kimmel’s show to be pulled for three days, South Park spent its whole episode torturing the Trump-appointed official.
After a three-week break, the episode continues the season’s storyline of Donald Trump and literal Satan expecting a baby. Carr becomes an unfortunate victim of Trump’s mischievous attempts to terminate the pregnancy and falls down a flight of slippery stairs.

In Trump’s second attempt to trick Satan, he cooks up a soup secretly dosed with Plan B pills.

Unfortunately for Trump, it’s Carr who drinks the spiked soup, not Satan. Carr doesn’t just soil himself; his body’s reaction is so severe that it sends him flying out of the White House like a malfunctioning rocket ship.

In Trump’s third attempt, he tries to trick Satan into stepping into a trap that will drop a pile of cat feces on him, with the feces containing a pregnancy-harming parasite called Toxoplasmosis.

Once again, it’s Carr who falls into the trap instead. He’s later shown in a hospital stretcher, unable to move.
Carr’s broken arm is held up in a sling, one that leaves his hand in a pose that looks awfully reminiscent of a Nazi salute.

South Park spells out why it’s tormenting Carr in his final scene, where baby-faced JD Vance enters Carr’s hospital room and is told by the doctor that Carr might “lose his freedom of speech,” if the parasite infects his brain.

South Park’s Vance tells Carr, “If you continue to interfere, I will make things very difficult for you.”
Repeating the words Carr publicly said to ABC before they pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off air, Vance says ominously, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.”

On the elementary school side of the episode, South Park focused on skewering betting apps like Polymarket and Kalshi, referencing them by name.
One of the biggest bets on the app surrounded whether or not Kyle’s Jewish mom, Sheila, will “strike Gaza and destroy a Palestinian hospital.”
Kyle tries to get the bet about his mom taken down and ends up on a phone call with Donald Trump Jr., who is an adviser for Polymarket. South Park portrayed Don Jr. as perpetually smiling, to the point where it seems to restrict his speech.
The episode’s final scene features Sheila flying to Israel to give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a piece of her mind.

“Just who do you think you are?” Sheila tells Netanyahu. “Killing thousands and flattening neighborhoods, then wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s some shield for criticism.”
“You’re making life for Jews miserable, and life for American Jews impossible,” she says. “Oh, don’t you roll your eyes at me, mister!”
The latest South Park episode was originally supposed to air last Wednesday but was delayed a week. The showrunners explained that they simply ran out of time and missed the episode’s production deadline.
Co-creator Matt Stone clarified Friday, “No one pulled the episode, no one censored us, and you know we’d say so if true.”
