The viral season premiere of "South Park" commented on Donald Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein and implied that the president has a microscopic penis. Something that got the White House to respond with a statement:

This series has not been relevant for over 20 years and clings to uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt to get attention, said the White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers.

President Trump has kept more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history and no third-rate series can stop President Trump's winning streak.

Apologize

The episode premiered a few days after "South Park" made a five-year contract with the media company Paramount, which is said to be worth around 14 billion kronor.

"South Park" co-creator Trey Parker had a brief response to the White House's anger when he visited the Comic-Con fair in San Diego on Thursday.

We apologize very much, said Parker, followed by a long blank stare for comedic effect.

"Stop like Colbert?"

The premiere episode also targeted Paramount and its settlement with Trump for around 170 million kronor. CBS and the parent company Paramount Global laid down Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" last week, just days after Colbert heavily criticized Paramount's settlement with Trump over a "60 Minutes" interview.

In the "South Park" episode, Trump sues the town of South Park, and the residents get advice from Jesus Christ on settlement.

You saw what happened to CBS? Yes, and guess who owns CBS? Paramount. Do you really want to end up like Colbert?, Jesus asks.
