Although this week’s episode of South Park was light on the Trump roast, the long-running Comedy Central show didn’t let up on his administration.
In Wednesday’s Season 28 episode ‘Turkey Trot’, Saudi Arabia sponsors the town’s titular Thanksgiving race as all of South Park sets their sights on the $5,000 prize, and Pete Hegseth sets his sights on the local police department in attempt to get Peter Thiel out of jail at the president’s request.
Although the chief of police kicks Hegseth out on his ass, quite literally, the secretary of defense decides to get back at the “woke local police force” with some content, which catches Trump’s attention.
“And Hegseth, don’t just make a bunch of content. Go out and actually do something,” Trump tells him in a phone call. “God, he’s such a douchebag.”
Meanwhile, Cartman is convinced he’s an expert at “race science,” deciding the only person who can help their team cross the finish line is Tolkien Black.
After trying to convince Cartman he’s not a good runner just because he’s Black, Tolkien drops out of the Turkey Trot due to political reasons, as he couldn’t get around Saudi Arabia’s sponsorship. Cartman tries to reason that Americans are just “embracing Saudi Arabia’s desire to change.”
“You want Saudi Arabia to just go back to cutting people up and paying Kevin Hart? Is that what you want?” he asks Tolkien.
As Hegseth realizes the Saudis are in town, he instructs his troops to descend on the town and “get as much content as we possibly can.” Kristi Noem even shows up with Homeland Security, as the two fight for clout.
The chaos is set to a parody of Kenny Loggins’ 1986 single ‘Danger Zone’, with a chorus that goes, “Pete Hegseth‘s a f*cking douche.”
After South Park police break up Hegseth’s raid, the secretary of defense ends up in jail with Thiel.
