The latest episode of South Park, titled 'Got a Nut', has taken aim at several political figures, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President JD Vance. The animated satire, now in its 27th season, depicts Noem as a bulletproof-vest-wearing 'Ice Barbie' who shoots multiple puppies, referencing her past admission of killing her own dog.
In the episode, Noem addresses ICE agent recruits via video, including laid-off teacher Mr. Mackey, promising to 'make sure everyone is in this country legally.' ICE then raids Heaven, with Noem declaring, 'Remember, only detain the Brown ones, if it's Brown it goes down.' The show also features Cartman as right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk.
Vice President JD Vance makes his South Park debut, portrayed as a sycophantic Tattoo from Fantasy Island to Trump's Mr. Roarke. Vance offers to apply baby oil to Satan's backside, referencing a potential ménage à trois with Trump and the devil. The episode also includes a failed rescue attempt by Krypto, Superman's dog, who is shot dead by Noem.
The White House responded to the episode, calling the show 'irrelevant' and claiming it is 'hanging on by a thread.' However, South Park hit back on social media, asking, 'Wait, so we ARE relevant?' after ICE used an advance image from the episode on its X feed.
