Since 1997, **Trey Parker** and **Matt Stone** have been entertaining audiences with their irreverent humor, good scripts and social relevance, doing what neither *The Simpsons* nor *Family Guy* could: maintaining a quality standard for more than [25 years](https://www.421.news/en/cosplay-in-argentina/). Several of their tricks were revealed in [**the documentary *6 Days to Air* (2011)**](https://www.imdb.com/es/title/tt2076781/?ref=421.news), where we can see the work process of an entire episode in just six days. On July 23, 2025, ***South Park* returned for its 27th season** after several specials and legal issues. The premiere episode, " **Sermon on the Mount** ," achieved a 9.4 rating on IMDb and made it into the top three of the ranked episodes. Join me — we're heading to South Park to have a good time and meet its humble, uncorrupted neighbors. And while we learn how this small Colorado town came to be, we'll also see how its day-to-day work system and the current situation could make [**Argentina**](https://www.421.news/en/argentina-before-argentina/) **a part of that universe before Season 27 ends**. ![The characters from South Park, the series by Trey Parker and Matt Stone](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2b/7f/2b7f69fc-a243-4d2f-ae8e-db8312c6653a/content/images/2025/10/South-Park-421.png) The characters from ***South Park**, the series by ****Trey Parker** and ****Matt Stone** ## *6 Days to Air* and the Creation of *South Park* The creative duo of Trey Parker and Matt Stone was born in 1992 at the University of Colorado, with the creation of the short film ***The Spirit of Christmas,* the first glimpse into what would become *South Park***. The short was liked for its humor and the unusual animation method they decided to use. Knowing there was something there, they remade it in 1995 and began giving it to friends on VHS. The story already included elements that would become fundamental to the series, such as the characters of **Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny**; and others that would become recurring, such as **Jesus** (who returns in the current season after several years) and **Santa**. The short spread virally, in the pre-internet sense, and its popularity was so great that Matt and Trey's friends would tell them, "You have to see this", and they¡d say, "Yeah, that's ours". It would have helped if they had put their names on the short. Anyway, by 1997 they landed a deal with Comedy Central, and the magic that continues to this day began. In its story, we have several stages marked by changes in the lineup of protagonists, character deaths, **thousands of celebrities from the american establishment going off the rails**, like Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, and the band Korn, who had one of my favorite episodes in the third season (and who announced a show [in Argentina](https://www.421.news/en/snes-the-mythic-videogames-machine/) for May 10 at Parque Sarmiento). ![Parker and Stone wearing J-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow's dresses to the Oscars (2000)](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2b/7f/2b7f69fc-a243-4d2f-ae8e-db8312c6653a/content/images/2025/10/Trey-Parket-Matt-Stone-Oscars-421.png) ****Parker** and ****Stone** wearing J-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow's dresses to the Oscars (2000) *South Park* continued, reaching milestones like its own movie in 1999, called **South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut** , two games that came out for PC, PlayStation and Nintendo 64, and all kinds of merch. Meanwhile, Matt and Trey were working on other projects that were also successful, such as the comedies *Orgazmo* (1997), *BASEketball* (1998), *Team America: World Police* (2004) and the Broadway musical *The Book of Mormon* (2011). Precisely after that musical, the creative team opened their workshop to **show us the creation process of a *South Park* episode in the documentary *6 Days to Air***. There we can see the **intense but highly effective system** that was vital for them to be able to take real world events and weaponize them into scripts and jokes. They were also supported by the trust and parallel work they had with Comedy Central, allowing them to finish episodes sometimes mere hours before airing. This speed of work allowed them **to do tricks like the episode "About Last Night", which premiered the day after Obama's victory in 2008.** This exercise became part of the show's essence, in the style of "**What Does South Park Have to Say?**". ![JD Vance and Donald Trump in season 27 of South Park](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2b/7f/2b7f69fc-a243-4d2f-ae8e-db8312c6653a/content/images/2025/10/Trump-jd-vance-South-Park-421.png) ****JD Vance and Donald Trump** in season 27 of ***South Park** ## **Now Everyone's Cartman: Season 27 and the Speed of Reality** **The series was on hiatus since 2023**, when Season 26 premiered. It survived by releasing a few streaming specials, canonical but not part of the season run. This happened due to a **contracting and commercial law issue** between Viacom/Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery. Finally, **in July of this year, "Sermon on the 'Mount" premiered, and boy, how much the world had changed**. And, of course, so had the small town in Colorado. In "Sermon on the Mount" we get a **shocking reality check** that plants the seed for what this new version of the show will be like. Several *South Park* residents are starting to get angry at **"The Retarded Faggot", the President in the White House** —yes, yes, that's the expression they use—for censoring journalists and shows, suing those who oppose him, and forcing Christian acceptance in schools. **Cartman is one of these outraged people** because the President canceled his favorite show, a public radio program where woke people complained about the system, and he found it very funny. Meanwhile, we discover that school **principal PC Principal, a character who appeared in 2015 as a woke super bro, stopped being politically correct** (PC) because he felt there was no hope for that side and accepted Jesus into his life, becoming Power Christ Principal. Among many other things, Cartman has the "Woke is Dead" epiphany: now everyone hates Jews and gays, **now everyone is Cartman, which causes him to lose his purpose in life** and want to kill himself, including poor little Butters in a suicide pact. ![Cartman in the episode "Sermon on the 'Mount", from season 27](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2b/7f/2b7f69fc-a243-4d2f-ae8e-db8312c6653a/content/images/2025/10/Cartman-Woke-is-dead-421.png) ****Cartman** in the episode ****"Sermon on the 'Mount"**, from season 27 But what's going on in the White House? **The figure of Donald J. Trump in *South Park* has mutated over** [**the years**](https://www.421.news/en/commandos-1998-pyro-studios-en/) **of the series**. He was a character during the previous presidential term, but the character who took his place was Professor Garrison, transformed into Trump for five seasons. When the angry citizens of *South Park* go looking for Garrison to lynch him, they find he wasn't doing anything wrong. **So who is the "The Retarded Faggot"?** There we are introduced to a new Trump, made in the image and likeness of Saddam Hussein, another historical figure in the series. He speaks the same, his head is animated the same, and he is partnered with Satan, who tells Trump that he looks a lot like his ex. Added to this explosive mix in the following episodes of this season are other current situations such as **the dependence on ChatGPT, the use of ketamine, the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the labubus, ICE,** [**Polymarket**](https://www.421.news/en/polymarket-collective-intelligence-and-prediction-markets/)**, and, of course, Charlie Kirk**. A few weeks before Charlie Kirk's murder, the series had parodied the pro-Trump conservative activist's podcast and live debates. **The episode "Got a Nut" was taken down from streaming, and Episode 3, for the first time in years, took two weeks** instead of the usual six days of the system we saw in the documentary. Following this, they issued a statement apologizing and taking the blame for not having delivered the episodes on time, and lowered new deadlines for new episodes every two weeks. **A new episode was supposed to premiere on October 15th, the day this article was published,** but as of this [writing](https://www.421.news/en/write-journalism-chronicles-victoria-de-masi/), there has been no news or progress. In any case, **I have faith that** [**Argentina**](https://www.421.news/en/argentina-paraguay-border/) **might take center stage in this chapter or before the end of the season**. ## **Argentina First** We all know the love between America's Retarded President and [Argentina](https://www.421.news/en/argentina-before-argentina/)'s Retarded President. [**Argentina**](https://www.421.news/en/argentina-paraguay-border/) **is currently part of a heated discussion in the US following the swap agreement** —a currency purchase: in this case, dollars for pesos— for $20 billion USD. Obviously, [Argentina](https://www.421.news/en/argentina-before-argentina/) people are concerned about what they're getting in return, and in fact, we still don't know exactly, but **US citizens, farmers, and the opposition are also angry**. While the prices are rising, jobs are being lost, and discontent grows over the impact on people's pockets, Trump closes a billion-dollar deal to help another country, leaving his "America First" slogan in second place among his electorate. But things got even worse when our "Retarded Man of the Casa Rosada", [Argentina](https://www.421.news/en/argentina-paraguay-border/)'s libertarian president Javier Milei, launched his book *La Construcción del Milagro* at a packed arena on October 6th. **Milei's rock star-style event went viral around the world and the outrage only grew**. It was like tossing gasoline on an already burning dumpster fire, causing US journalists and politicians to express themselves on social media and, suddenly, Argentina was on the lips of public figures with more than 500k followers on X. If this didn't catch the attention of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who have been introducing characters from the Trump administration in each episode of this new season, I don't know what would. **The whole world is talking about Argentina**. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent talks about Peronism on american TV, the videos of "Rock del gato"... **it would be so funny if it happened**. ![Pope Francis in the episode "The Hobbit" from season 17](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2b/7f/2b7f69fc-a243-4d2f-ae8e-db8312c6653a/content/images/2025/10/para-francisco-kenye-west-south-park-421.png) ****Pope Francis** in the episode ****"The Hobbit"** from season 17 So far, we can say that **there have been two Argentine "appearances" in the series**. The mystery of **"El Che Boludo**", who appears in the credits of S3E1 with additional voices in a chapter that was censored, and the appearance of **Pope Francis** in the episode of season 17 where Kanye West discovers that his current partner, Kim Kardashian, is a hobbit. At the time of [writing](https://www.421.news/en/write-journalism-chronicles-victoria-de-masi/), **there's no news about the upcoming episode**, which would be the sixth of this season's ten episodes. We Argentinians have never been this close to visiting South Park.
