Don’t Worry Guys…No More Trump Jokes On “South Park”

Yea, we get enough of those everywhere else.

For those who still have a foul taste in their mouths from the 20th season of South Park, need not worry. In a new interview with the LA Times, show co-creator Trey Parker notes that the upcoming 21st season will most likely be sans Trump gags:

We did start to become that, though, especially the last season. We fell into the same trap that “Saturday Night Live” fell into, where it was like, “Dude, we’re just becoming CNN now. We’re becoming: ‘Tune in to see what we’re going to say about Trump.’ ” Matt and I hated it but we got stuck in it somehow.

This season I want to get back to Cartman dressing up like a robot and [screwing] with Butters, because to me that’s the bread and butter of “South Park”: kids being kids and being ridiculous and outrageous but not “did you see what Trump did last night?” Because I don’t give a … anymore.

We probably could put up billboards — “Look what we’re going to do to Trump next week!” — and get crazy ratings. But I just don’t care.

Typically, when producers are miserable with their output, their output becomes miserable. This could explain a couple of things like why South Park Season 21 is premiering MUCH sooner than the show’s 20th season. In any event, WE win here, because more South Park sooner versus more South Park later is way more preferable.

South Park returns with new episodes on Wednesday August 23rd at 10pm on Comedy Central
