The animated show South Park recently parodied Fox News host Pete Hegseth, following months of lampooning figures like Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and Kristi Noem. In their Thanksgiving special, “Turkey Trot,” Hegseth’s character—the Secretary of War—is depicted as a caricature of a social media influencer who makes soldiers film him and asks viewers for likes and follows.
Hi everyone, this is Pete Hegseth. We’re with the Department of War and we’re here to enter this police station and locate a person of interest – it’s our mission.
Hegseth goes to the South Park police station, insisting they release tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who was arrested for kidnapping Cartman. When the police refuse and kick him out, Hegseth starts posting videos online about the Department of War. This leads to an angry call from a Trump parody, who orders Hegseth to get Thiel freed and back to Washington.
Trump told Hegseth to stop simply creating content and to actually take action. He then ended the call and muttered, “God, he is such an awful person!”
Later in the episode, South Park intensified its satire with a parody of Kenny Loggins’ “Highway to the Danger Zone.” The song mocked Pete Hegseth, with lyrics referencing him as someone who tries to appear tough online and creates excessive content, concluding with a vulgar insult directed at him.
White House Called Out ‘South Park’ in Official Statement
Comedy Central
South Park is famous for fearlessly poking fun at everything and everyone considered off-limits – including politics, religion, celebrities, and controversial ideas. Recently, the show has focused a lot on the Trump Administration. Although President Trump hasn’t publicly said how he feels about the show, the White House criticized it in July, calling it unoriginal, according to Variety.
That show is outdated and clearly struggling to stay interesting, relying on tired concepts just to get noticed. Meanwhile, President Trump has achieved more in his first six months than any other president, and nothing – not even this program – can stop his current success.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, recently told The New York Times they continue to satirize all types of extremism, just as they always have with the show.
We try to stay neutral and appeal to everyone. We poked fun at ‘woke’ culture for years, and we find this situation just as amusing.
You can watch the season finale of South Park Season 28 on Comedy Central on December 10th. If you miss it, it will be available to stream on Paramount+ starting December 11th.
