《南方公园》第27季首播即以尖锐的讽刺手法,将矛头直指美国总统特朗普及其所属的派拉蒙公司。该集节目辛辣地嘲讽了特朗普的诉讼癖好,以及派拉蒙在处理《科尔伯特深夜秀》时的迅速和解与取消行为。节目中甚至包含了一段特朗普的深度伪造(deepfake)视频,展示了其裸体形象。这一集不仅回应了粉丝对马特·斯通和特雷·帕克15亿美元交易是否会削弱其讽刺力度的担忧,更通过特朗普威胁诉讼、与撒旦交易以及对媒体的操控等情节,深刻揭示了权力与金钱的复杂交织,以及在当今社会言论自由所面临的挑战。

🎯 **尖锐讽刺总统与媒体**:《南方公园》新季首播便以极其辛辣的方式讽刺了美国总统特朗普,以及其母公司派拉蒙。节目中,特朗普被描绘成一个热衷于提起诉讼的角色,并与包括撒旦在内的各种势力进行交易,甚至威胁要对小镇居民提起巨额诉讼。同时,也嘲讽了派拉蒙在处理《科尔伯特深夜秀》等节目时的财务决策和迅速取消行为,揭示了媒体在权力面前的妥协与无奈。

🎬 **深度伪造(Deepfake)的运用**:节目中大胆运用了特朗普的深度伪造视频,展示了他裸体行走的场景。这一情节不仅增加了节目的视觉冲击力和讽刺力度,也引发了对技术滥用和信息真实性边界的思考,使得对特朗普的描绘更加具象化和荒诞化。

⚖️ **金钱交易与权力博弈**:文章强调了马特·斯通和特雷·帕克与派拉蒙达成的15亿美元交易,以及派拉蒙随后在处理节目时的“纯粹财务决策”。这部分内容揭示了在商业利益驱动下,内容创作和表达自由可能面临的制约,以及金钱在权力博弈中所扮演的关键角色。小镇最终以支付350万美元并制作“亲特朗普宣传内容”来与特朗普达成和解,更加凸显了这一主题。

🏫 **“耶稣入学”事件的隐喻**:本集剧情围绕耶稣回到南公园学校展开,并引发了媒体的关注和家长的抗议。特朗普威胁诉讼以及耶稣本人提到“诉讼和协议”才让他回到学校,这些情节都带有深刻的隐喻,暗示了即使是象征纯洁和救赎的形象,也可能被卷入政治和商业的漩涡之中,被迫接受不平等的交易和表达限制。

    South Park targeted President Donald Trump and Paramount in its 27th season premiere. The show lampooned Trump for his eagerness to sue and the network for its quick settlements and cancellation of The Late Show. It also included a deepfake video that showed a nude Trump.

Any fans who were concerned that Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s $1.5 billion deal with Paramount would dull the duo’s satirical edge got a quick and decisive answer on Wednesday’s season premiere of South Park. The show, which often addresses topical issues, skewered President Trump and its network parent Paramount in one of its most blistering episodes in years.

“Sermon on the Mount” had everything from Trump in bed with Satan (replacing Saddam Hussein, the ruler of hell’s former lover) to a parody of 60 Minutes to a mention of the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show. Satan asked Trump about the “Epstein list.” And there was even a deepfake video of Trump walking through the desert, stripping off his suit and eventually wandering around fully nude. There’s more—much more—but we won’t get into it here, since families visit this website. Best to just see it for yourself.

The episode’s official plot was about the return of Jesus, who enrolled in South Park’s schools. That led to the coverage by 60 Minutes, with the hosts nervously making comments about Trump such as “the president, who is a great man … [who] is probably watching.” Parents in the fictional town protest to Trump they didn’t want Jesus in schools, which leads to Trump threatening to sue them for $5 billion.  (Trump also threatens to sue Satan at one point.)

“I didn’t want to come back and be in the school, but I had to because it was part of a lawsuit and the agreement with Paramount,” Jesus tells the town. “You guys saw what happened to CBS? Well, guess who owns CBS? Paramount. You really want to end up like Colbert? You guys got to stop being stupid… He also has the power to sue and take bribes and he can do anything to anyone. It’s the f*****g president, dude… South Park is over.”

The town eventually settles with Trump for $3.5 million, but is also required to create “pro-Trump messaging,” which leads to the deepfake film.

All of this comes hours after Paramount agreed to pay the production company owned by Stone and Parker $1.5 billion for the global streaming rights for the next five years. HBO Max previously held the streaming rights to the show. That high dollar amount caught people’s attention since Paramount handed it out so soon after cancelling The Late Show and ending its association with host Stephen Colbert, calling its move “purely a financial decision.”
