'South Park' premiere mocking Trump breaks 26-year viewership record

South Park just scored its biggest cable audience for a season premiere in 26 years

and it did so by taking direct aim at President Trump. The episode sparked a wave of viral clips and even pushback from the White House

South Park is no stranger to controversy, but this time, the shock factor didn't repel audiences, it attracted them

According to Variety, the episode brought in nearly 6 million viewers, quickly trending on social media as clips circulated mocking Trump in various scenarios

Why is my dick so small? But that's the size it is in the photo

Get this guy out of here! I'm gonna sue you! Following the viral debut, the White House weighed in

A spokesperson told Straight Arrow News, 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 and a desperate attempt for

attention At Comic in San Diego last week the show co Trey Parker responded to the backlash Did you anticipate the reaction today Have you been following it What do you make of it We terribly sorry

Fair enough, fair enough. But if you thought they were done with Trump, think again

On Tuesday, South Park's official ex-account dropped behind-the-scenes photos with over 13 million views

showing how the creators brought Trump's exaggerated anatomy to life for a live-action political ad many thought was AI-generated

But that's not all. We want to honor the president's courage? Stop

They followed up Wednesday with a teaser of the next episode, and yes, the animated Trump returns alongside Satan, who we saw in the season premiere

Hey, relax! Come on, Satan, I've been working hard all day! You haven't been working, you've been doing your stupid memes and just f***ing around

The next episode airs Wednesday, August 6th, and the creators don't seem to be holding back

It comes on the heels of their extended $1.5 billion deal with Paramount for an additional 50 episodes

showing that even as they push boundaries, the audience is still watching
