This week’s PR Breakdown isn’t about a corporate crisis or a press release gone wrong. It’s about satire — and the way it forces a reaction.
In the latest season of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have turned their aim on the Trump administration, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and the culture of punditry. It’s not subtle. It’s not sanitized. And it’s definitely not for the thin-skinned.
The second episode, “Got a Nut,” skewers both sides of the aisle while delivering a masterclass in what happens when satire hits a nerve. The White House called the show “irrelevant” — a statement that instantly proved the opposite. Noem leaned into the joke publicly, then undercut herself in interviews. And Charlie Kirk tried to be in on the humor while still nursing the sting.
Here’s what I cover in this episode:
- Why this season of South Park is landing harder than most political commentary
- The specific targets in Episode 2, and the satirical tactics behind them
- How public figures misplay their responses to being parodied
- Why defensiveness is the loudest admission of relevance
- The crisis takeaway: When satire calls you out, your response matters more than the joke
Satire works because it holds up a mirror. In PR, what you do next decides whether people see the reflection as truth or just a caricature.

Another week, another Trump official brutally
mocked by South Park, and thistime it was Kristi Noem's turn.
The preview also shows that thehit comedy Central Series will
continue to mock Trump with ashot of the president at a
banquet with Satan.
Welcome to the Team Recruits.
I'm Kristi Noem, head ofHomeland Security.
Are you watching South Park?
(00:22):
Even if you're not a fan of theprogram, even if you say isn't
that a show just for 20-year-oldguys?
Yes, true, but the level ofsatire coming out of South Park
right now in this new season isoff the charts.
This week's podcast is aboutlast week's South Park.
(00:42):
Hey there, welcome to the PRBreakdown Podcast.
I'm your host, molly McPherson.
And it's late on a Friday.
It's summer.
I want to start my weekend, butI have to jump into South Park
before I even get into theweekend, because it's earned the
right to talk about it.
This past Wednesday, south Parkcame out with the second episode
(01:03):
of the season.
It was the Got a Nut episodeand it was absolutely hysterical
.
Now I did a live earlier today.
On Friday I tend to go onSubstack, usually Friday between
9 am and noon, and kind ofbreak down the news stories of
the week.
You know the Friday fallout.
Where are some of the hiccups?
During the week Someone broughtup South Park and I was so
(01:25):
happy because I'd forgotten thatjust a couple days before my
son Connor, asked me if I wouldwatch it with him.
Now we have kind of a routine atnight.
He works all day Great kidworking hard.
He's working with lobsters andcrabs.
I mean, he's doing hard workbefore he goes back to college.
The Red Sox weren't playing andI just finished dinner and he
said South Park.
(01:45):
I'm like oh yes, we have towatch South Park because the
week before the premiere episodethe creators South Park
creators, matt Stone, treyParker put together very quickly
because they were negotiatingwith Paramount, the same entity
that canceled Stephen Colbert.
Some people say it could havecome at the behest of the White
House and Donald Trump, butthese creators they don't care,
(02:10):
they are going all in on satire.
That is sending a message.
It is probably the besttelevision I've seen in a long
time.
Now, this past week I didn'teven think it could get any
better than the first week, butthis past week it absolutely did
.
Now in the first episode.
I don't want to ruin it for youif you haven't watched it, but
let's just say it's lampooningPresident Trump, the ideals of
(02:35):
MAGA and everything it standsfor, and it's not even coming at
it If you know South Park it'snot coming at it from a liberal,
woke point of view.
It's pure satire.
It's sarcasm at its mostpiercing level but it's really
like a level set where we are.
It skewers both sides, honestly, but it takes what we all see
(02:56):
and says what needs to be said.
In the humor level it's rough,like it is pushing the envelope
to an extreme.
But if you can suspend emotionon it and just look at it for
the satire and humor, I promisethe season does not disappoint.
Now on the live today we werediscussing season 27, episode
(03:16):
two.
The title is Got a Nut.
It takes aim at the Trumpadministration, homeland
Security, kristi Noem, theculture of right-wing punditry.
The episode mixes absurd comedywith pointed commentary, as it
always does, lampooningimmigration enforcement,
political sycophancy and mediapersonalities in a way that only
(03:38):
South Park can do it.
Now I would say that thesharpest target from the first
episode in the season wasPresident Trump, the White House
pushback from that firstepisode.
It didn't come from Trump.
It didn't even come from thehead of comms at the White House
, stephen Chugg.
It came from spokespersonTaylor Rogers and I had
(03:59):
mentioned this on the live today.
I had no idea who it was, buthere's the quote that came from
the White House.
This is from the first season,which really was a massive
lampoon against Donald Trump andthink where could you really
bring a guy down?
That's where they went.
So quote this show hasn't beenrelevant for over 20 years and
is hanging on by a thread withuninspired ideas and a desperate
(04:19):
attempt for attention.
President Trump has deliveredon more promises in just six
months than any other presidentin our country's history, and no
fourth-rate show can derailPresident Trump's hot streak.
So they go on.
But let's just pause here for amoment when you hear a statement
like that when.
(04:45):
So they go on.
But let's just pause here for amoment.
When you hear a statement likethat, when it becomes so
defensive, in and of itselfmakes the show relevant.
When the White House iscommenting on a cartoon, that
means the show is not irrelevant.
(05:06):
It means it's incrediblyrelevant.
So that statement in and ofitself does not work.
But they go on Like thecreators of South Park.
So now it gets personal.
The left lacks genuine originalcontent which is causing their
popularity to plummet.
So now we're tying South Parkand Matt Stone and Trey Parker
with all the left.
So for reference sake, theratings for the second episode
(05:29):
in season 27,.
The Gotta Nut episode doubledin ratings.
Now the biggest target for thesecond episode is Kristi Noem.
She is so she runs DHS rightnow, the Department of Homeland
Security and my son.
Just as a side note, he saidjust so, you know, you know how
they kind of go there on certainthings.
(05:51):
And then I stopped him and Itold Connor there's only one
area that South Park couldventure into that would probably
cause me stress, and that'sdogs.
Because I lost we lost our dogFinbar a couple of years ago and
I'm still not over it.
And as soon as I said it Ilooked at him.
I went wait a minute, are theytalking about Christine Elf?
And he went yeah, I went.
Oh my God, say no more.
I said I will brace myself forthis.
(06:12):
So they portray Chrissy as thisglamorous ICE agent, but really
she's the head of DHS.
What is so bad?
I'm going to show it up on thescreen here.
Chrissy Noem takes a screengrab of her at South Park and
you'll see joinicegov.
And then Homeland Security, theagency which she helms reposts
(06:32):
it, retweets it, which you knowas someone I work for FEMA,
which means I work for DHS.
I can't even believe.
Look at the reaction from thestatement from the White House
just a week previous irrelevant,irrelevant.
Okay, now we've had a statement.
Now Christine Noem, the head ofDHS, is posting about it and
DHS is retweeting it.
(06:53):
And this is where they kind oflike miss the mark just a little
, because Kristi Noem respondedin a somewhat similar nature
than Charlie Kirk, who was alsolampooned a bit in this episode.
But we see Kristi Noem.
They depicted her as like aglamour bot, like an
over-the-top ice agent, and thenevery so often in the episode
(07:16):
and I don't want to spoil theepisode let's just say there's
an issue with the Botox and herface and really like everything
kind of melting, like see howI'm kind of shiny right now,
like picture that in South Parkterms, let's just say she kind
of loses her face, but it'shysterical and whenever there's
a dog on screen, I'm just goingto leave it there.
Now it also centers around MrMackey.
(07:38):
He's a South Park schoolguidance counselor.
Mr Mackey has lost his job dueto budget cuts from Trump's
Department of Education and theneventually becomes an ICE agent
.
And that whole scene ishysterical about him, because an
ICE agent, it's like a ride atDisney.
So the episode mocked her, youknow, through absurd visual gags
(07:59):
, through references of heradmission about her dog Cricket
on the family farm in SouthDakota.
Donald Trump was also a target.
They have him with Satan, whichis a throwback to previous
episodes where Satan was in bedwith Saddam Hussein and now it's
with Donald Trump and alsodepicting ICE agents
(08:23):
highlighting their raids.
I don't even want to ruin it,but goes to a cartoon
character's live event who comesback in this other part of the
episode which then highlightsEpstein.
I mean when I say they go forthe jugular, they go for the
jugular, but then it shifts.
So now it also centers aroundCharlie Kirk, that kind of
(08:44):
character.
It's not a literal characterbut an inspiration for a major
subplot.
So Clyde Donovan see my noteshere starts as a right-wing
debate-focused podcast filledwith provocative, reactionary
hot takes, which closely mimicsKirk's real-life style.
And then Cartman, who feelsupstage, launches his own
podcast and then they becomemaster debaters.
(09:06):
Actually, this breakdown of thetakedown, I don't want to ruin
anything, so I'm just going tostop right there, but let's just
focus on the responses, becausethen the episode just throws
back to a television show fromthe 70s and 80s which I spotted
right away and my 20-year-oldson, connor, said what are you
talking about?
And I went, if they sayDePlaine.
And then, sure enough, there'sJD Vance.
(09:28):
So JD Vance is depicted as atoddler's baby voice sidekick to
Donald Trump, and it'sparodying the TV show Fantasy
Island, which was problematic,not in its time, actually
probably in its time but reallyproblematic right now.
When my son looked it up hesaid wait a minute, was this a
real show?
I went, oh yeah, and he thoughtwhen I was explaining it that I
(09:50):
was mocking it, that I thoughtit was like appalling.
When I watched it I said, oh no, connor, I love that show.
It was Saturday night ABC, itwas Love Boat and then it was
Fantasy Island.
I said it was perfectly normalthat people would like six
people would get on a planebecause you only had, you know,
at budgetary costs you couldonly cast so many people and
(10:10):
you'd fly to an island.
And then fantasies happen.
And I said on my subsec livetoday, it's very similar to like
White Lotus.
It's like a White Lotus vibesame thing.
But then South Park missesnothing and that was our JD
Vance character there.
And so I'm going to stop onspoiling the episode and tell
you that you have to watch it.
(10:30):
Let me just focus on the lanewhere I am and that's in the
response.
Now Kristi Noem as I mentioned,she posted on X a photo of her
as kind of this fembot ice agent.
She tried to show the humor ofit While she gives a statement
about it.
So she's completely neutralizesanything that she says.
It's also very contradictory.
(10:52):
So then she went on the GlennBeck podcast and she called it
lazy and petty, and especiallyfor mocking her looks.
And so she stated quote onlythe liberals and the extremists
do that.
If they wanted to criticize myjob, go ahead and do that.
They did, but clearly theycan't.
They just pick something pettylike that.
And she admitted that she didnot watch the episode I don't
(11:13):
believe that but denounced thefocus on her appearance rather
than the job performance.
So she again.
It's oh, let me get the exactquote right here.
Quote it's so lazy to justconstantly make fun of women for
how they look.
Fair, you know, fair.
That's actually a smart, takeright there.
If they wanted to criticize myjob, go ahead and do that, but
clearly they can't.
They just pick something pettylike that, fair enough.
(11:36):
But that's not what they weredoing.
They weren't making fun of herlooks, they were making fun of
what she did to her looks andwhat she's known to do whenever
she's at an appearance.
Now somebody told my kind ofoffline that when she does
appear at events, she takes along time to prep before she
(11:57):
appears, like she would nevershow up.
Huh, I'm looking at you rightnow like all shiny, like this.
She takes a long, long time toprep.
So her looks is a part of thebrand, of the whole Kristi Noem
brand, and her looks havechanged a bit to resemble the
mega look.
Right, they all have this kindof same look.
(12:19):
Now she's a brunette, so wedon't have the big blonde
whatever, but she has the look.
That's what South Park wastrying to caricature.
Well, not trying, they didcaricature there and they did it
flawlessly.
It was hysterical.
So she does not come outlooking good and it absolutely
harkens back to the book whereshe says that she brought her
dog, cricket the family dog outback and took care of it.
(12:42):
And then JD Vance also postedon Twitter.
And what I love is South Parksaid wait.
So we are relevant BecauseHomeland Security posted a
screen grab from the episodejoinicegov.
Okay, so South Park gets it.
The administration does not getit.
(13:03):
The far right conservatives,they don't get it.
Charlie Kirk made an attempt,so he I only saw a portion of
his show.
My son showed it to me and he'ssitting with the round table
and they're all jibber jabberingabout it.
So take a listen what he had tosay.
I personally, I think a lot ofit was hilarious towards me.
(13:23):
I think a lot of it washilarious towards me.
I think a lot of it was veryfunny.
So again, kind of like Noamwants to be in on the joke.
I get it, it's funny, it'shysterical, but you know he
doesn't find it hysterical.
No one wants to be mocked, butwhat he's trying to do is
deflect the mocking, saying Iget it, I get it, I get it, but
meanwhile the administration isnot getting it.
(13:45):
So it's a quick episode.
It's August, there's not a lotof big news happening in August,
but there's South Parkhappening in August.
So I highly encourage you ifyou're into satire and humor and
just scathing, biting satire.
You have got to watch this andI pray that they do this every
week, because I would love tobreak down the responses to the
(14:06):
people who they skewer everysingle week.
All right, everyone.
That's all for this week on thepodcast.
Thanks so much for listening.
Bye for now.

appear at events, she takes along time to prep before she
(11:57):
appears, like she would nevershow up.
Huh, I'm looking at you rightnow like all shiny, like this.
She takes a long, long time toprep.
So her looks is a part of thebrand, of the whole Kristi Noem
brand, and her looks havechanged a bit to resemble the
mega look.
Right, they all have this kindof same look.
(12:19):
Now she's a brunette, so wedon't have the big blonde
whatever, but she has the look.
That's what South Park wastrying to caricature.
Well, not trying, they didcaricature there and they did it
flawlessly.
It was hysterical.
So she does not come outlooking good and it absolutely
harkens back to the book whereshe says that she brought her
dog, cricket the family dog outback and took care of it.
(12:42):
And then JD Vance also postedon Twitter.
And what I love is South Parksaid wait.
So we are relevant BecauseHomeland Security posted a
screen grab from the episodejoinicegov.
Okay, so South Park gets it.
The administration does not getit.
(13:03):
The far right conservatives,they don't get it.
Charlie Kirk made an attempt,so he I only saw a portion of
his show.
My son showed it to me and he'ssitting with the round table
and they're all jibber jabberingabout it.
So take a listen what he had tosay.
I personally, I think a lot ofit was hilarious towards me.
(13:23):
I think a lot of it washilarious towards me.
I think a lot of it was veryfunny.
So again, kind of like Noamwants to be in on the joke.
I get it, it's funny, it'shysterical, but you know he
doesn't find it hysterical.
No one wants to be mocked, butwhat he's trying to do is
deflect the mocking, saying Iget it, I get it, I get it, but
meanwhile the administration isnot getting it.
(13:45):
So it's a quick episode.
It's August, there's not a lotof big news happening in August,
but there's South Parkhappening in August.
So I highly encourage you ifyou're into satire and humor and
just scathing, biting satire.
You have got to watch this andI pray that they do this every
week, because I would love tobreak down the responses to the
(14:06):
people who they skewer everysingle week.
All right, everyone.
That's all for this week on thepodcast.
Thanks so much for listening.
Bye for now.
