South Park chooses its next victim following Donald Trump mockery and fans think creators have 'outdone themselves'

After rinsing the US President last week, South Park creators have been praised once again for taking aim at another right-wing figure in the comedy series' latest instalment.

This time, it's an equally controversial conservative political activist, author and media personality.

For those unfamiliar with Matt Stone and Trey Parker's roast of Trump, the 79-year-old was made the central character in an episode titled Sermon on the Mount last week, which marked South Park's return to screens for season 27 after a two-year break.

In the ep, notable moments saw the Republican climbing into bed with the devil, as well as referencing the 'Epstein list', the rising tariffs in Canada and the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and poking fun aim at the size of his manhood.

The move saw the show's creators be heavily praised by left-leaning voters, who'll likely be thrilled to learn that Stone and Parker are set to release another episode in the coming days, this time mocking right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.

In recent years alone, the 31-year-old has been accused of Islamophobia for referencing the 9/11 attacks in the same sentences as discrediting politician Zohran Mamdani, who is on track to become the first Muslim mayor of New York.

He also supported a 'ban' on gender affirming care for transgender people last year in support of Trump's anti-LGBTQ policies, within months of simultaneously spreading false claims from Russian state media about alleged attacks launched by Ukraine.

On top of this, Kirk is also a firm opposer of gay marriage, a rigorous proposer the idea of Christian nationalism, and a believer that abortion is murder and should be illegal.

So, he pretty much ticks every far-right box, right?

Well, we're not the only ones that have noticed his beliefs seem to be increasing in extremity, with South Park writers having incorporated Kirk into a new episode in the show's latest series.

In a teaser released online, the activist's likeness was adopted by trouble-causer Eric Cartman, who is seen embroiled in a heated spat with a high-schooler - a regular occurrence for Kirk in real life, we must add.

"You can just shut up, Bebe, because you hate America and you love abortion," Cartman shouts at one student in particular.

And as we say, fans have since praised the show's creators, insisting the pair have 'outdone themselves this time around'.

"Always thought Charlie Kirk looked like a South Park character to begin with. So v appropriate," one Instagram user jibed.

Another admitted: "CANT WAIT LMAO."

"I'm loving how they are going after the very people who thought south park supported their views, as if matt and trey are not anti culture," a third went on to note.

"Charlie is gonna cry about this so much that he’s gonna ask for them to be arrested," another predicted.

Continuing the celebration on X (formerly Twitter), another gushed: "Hey yo Matt Stone and Tre Parker are coming in hard this season. I see."

"Matt and Trey have outdone themselves!" one fan also penned.

Kirk himself has also spoken out on the episode - though, surprisingly, he seems to have taken the whole thing with a pinch of salt.

Telling Fox News he initially laughed after catching wind of Cartman's portrayal, believing it to be 'some sort of AI troll', he continued: "I think it's kind of funny and it kind of goes to show the cultural impact and the resonance that our movement has been able to achieve.

"So I look at this as a badge of honor."

Kirk went on to claim he hadn't seen much of South Park recently, but insisted he was appreciative of the show being an 'equal opportunity offender'.

He added: "I'm excited to watch it because, look, we as conservatives need to be able to take a joke, right?

"We shouldn't take ourselves so seriously. That's something that the left has always done to great detriment to themselves and their movement."

The father-of-two continued of Stone and Parker: "They're professional comedians. They're probably gonna roast me, and I think that's fine. And that's what it's all about, being in public life and, you know, making a difference. And I'm gonna have a good spirit about it. I'll watch it. I'm going to laugh at it.

"From a religious standpoint, we're all sinners. We all fall short of the glory of God. Like from a more practical life standpoint, we're all broken people. Stop taking yourself so seriously.

"That's probably one of the problems that we've had in our politics is that people can't take a joke."
