Donald Trump’s manhood has been brutally mocked once again in the latest South Park episode after viewers spotted an interesting detail.
Now, there's been quite a lot of history between the 79-year-old Republican and the animated comedy series as of recent, with an episode airing last month (23 July), titled 'Sermon on the Mount', that heavily featured Trump, in scenes that see his character literally getting into bed with the devil.
Rather than being fully animated in South Park's signature art style, however, the creators opted to stick an actual photo of Trump’s head onto a cartoon body.
Notable moments also referenced the 'Epstein list', the rising tariffs in Canada, and the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert - and the episode even takes aim at the size of his genitalia.

In one scene from the first episode, Trump can be seen getting into bed with Satan and says: “Come on Satan, I’ve been working hard all day.”
The character of the devil then responds: “You haven’t been working! You’ve been doing your stupid memes and just f**king around.”
Trump’s character then adds: “Come on Satan, you know you can’t resist this!” before pulling down a blanket and revealing a comically small penis, to which Satan then says: “I can’t even see anything, it’s so small.”
TV fans became convinced that Trump was not going to be happy when he saw this specific scene, with some joking that he may even try to get the programme cancelled.
And it seems they weren't too far wrong in their assessment, as officials later released a statement in response, saying the show 'hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years'.
A White House statement from spokesperson Taylor Rogers, shared with Rolling Stone, reads: "The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end - for years they have come after South Park for what they labelled as ‘offense’ [sic] content, but suddenly they are praising the show.
"Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.
"President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history - and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak."
And one of South Park's creators, Trey Parker, gave his own response at San Diego Comic-Con, simply stating: "We’re terribly sorry," before giving a long deadpan stare.
It seems such a scathing statement didn't deter South Park creators from getting at the US president again with the latest episode, titled 'Sickofancy', which once again depicted Trump with a micro-penis.
The episode also mocked him for accepting bribes from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim Cook while also reunited his character with Satan in bed, where Trump asked to have sex with the devil and use the Apple gift as a sex toy.
However, even with all the chaos of the episode, it was its end credits which raised eyebrows online as they read: "Written by Trey Parker and ChatGPT."
"It shows, when you have a Randy Marsh episode and it isn't funny," slammed one X user, while a second chimed in: "I'm not kidding... this was the worst episode of South Park I've ever seen. And I'm not even talking about them going at Trump.
"It just felt so disjointed...one joke theme the whole time. As the credits rolled I really thought 'Wow that's it??'"
And a third critic lamented: "Yea this was not a good episode so chatgpt makes sense."
Others, however, defended the episode, which was an ironic depiction of everyone's addiction to the artificial intelligence chatbot, against the criticism.
A fourth X user harshly declared: "They been putting that into every episode as a joke for stupid people like you."
"South Park is nailing it with ChatGPT," praised a fifth.
And a final X user commented: "South Park is already heading in a good direction this week. Everyone being dependent on ChatGPT is a true thing we can all relate to."
