South Park continues its Trump Resistance-era with the latest episode, titled “Sickofancy.” The promo showcases a chaotic Washington D.C. overrun by soldiers and tanks, with Towelie commenting on the town’s potential as a towel. The episode appears to critique President Trump’s deployment of federal law enforcement and immigration agents into the nation’s capital as part of a crackdown on crime and homelessness.
Critics have labeled the move an unnecessary authoritarian takeover of the District, despite recent decreases in crime statistics. South Park has taken a strong stance against the Trump administration this season, with previous episodes targeting the president and his allies.
Following its previous episode skipped and adjusted schedule, Comedy Central announced that the next episode won’t air until September 3, then again on September 17. The show will now run every other week for the near future, potentially to give creators more time to produce episodes under increased scrutiny and record-breaking viewership. South Park’s season 27 premiere delivered 6 million cross-platform viewers, setting a record for Comedy Central.
