The season 27 premiere of South Park has kicked off with one hell of a bang, with the comedy series taking serious aim at President Donald Trump.
As any South Park fan is aware, the cartoon isn't afraid of making famous enemies, with them brutally poking fun at the likes of Lizzo and her rumored Ozempic use, the controversial Andrew Tate, and Paris Hilton - who admitted that the episode that mocked her 'made her sick'.
But now, it seems Trey Parker and Matt Stone have the US president in their sights.
Titled Sermon on the 'Mount', this delayed return for Paramount's animated adult-comedy (more on that later) sweeps the action away from Cartman, Mr. Garrison, Randy and Jesus - who's attempting to reign over South Park Elementary - and takes us to the White House.

In the Oval Office, Donald Trump is seen butting heads with the Canadian prime minister. But it's the next sequence that's got everybody chatting on Reddit.
Trump is seen undressing himself and jumping beneath the sheets with the hulking red Satan - who rejects his sexual insinuation. Yet in typical Trump fashion, the president can't take the hint, with his character quipping: "Come on Satan, I've been working hard all day."
"You haven’t been working! You’ve been doing your stupid memes and just f**king around," points out his apparent lover.
Trump proceeds to pull down the blanket, revealing a grotesquely small manhood and saying: "Come on Satan, you know you can't resist this!"
"I can’t even see anything, it’s so small," the giant demon then replies. Ouch.
Over on the aforementioned forum platform, South Park fans were gobsmacked after witnessing this brutal joke.
"This might be the ballsiest thing they’ve ever done," wrote one Reddit user, before a second shared: "Sat and watched with my mouth agape in sheer awe of the testicles on Matt [Stone] and Trey [Parker]. The Human race has finally achieved perfection."
Another went on to claim that Trump's ego 'is going to be massacred' by the animation.
"This episode was just SAVAGE," commented somebody else.
As previously mentioned, the 27th season of South Park has endured a bumpy road to make it on screens.
Earlier this month, Paramount pushed it back by a fortnight, with South Park's X account pointing the blame at the network's merger with Skydance as the reason behind it.
The statement read: "In response to the press release from Comedy Central about the change in premiere date for South Park Trey Parker and Matt Stone said – 'This merger is a s**t show and it's f**king up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow."
The two creators even levelled accusations at Jeff Shell - Skydance Media-Paramount's president in waiting - of meddling with their Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery contracts.
Yesterday (July 23), Paramount and South Park finally shook hands on a new deal, with 50 new episodes officially ordered.
"We are grateful for this opportunity and deeply honoured by the trust placed in us," Parker said of the deal. "This is about more than a contract — it’s about our commitment to this organisation, our teammates, and our fans.
"We’re focused on building something special and doing whatever it takes to bring championships to this city."
Season 27 of South Park premiered on Comedy Central on Wednesday, July 23, at 10 pm PT/ET, and new episodes are set to air on Wednesdays during the same time slot.
