Vice President JD Vance doesn’t sound too upset about his “South Park” debut.
The vice president reacted on X after being spoofed in the latest episode of the Comedy Central series, which depicted him as a servant of President Donald Trump.
“Well, I’ve finally made it,” Vance wrote on X on Thursday, Aug. 7, in response to a photo of his portrayal on the show.
The latest “South Park” episode, titled “Got a Nut,” ends with a sequence set at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Both Trump and Vance appear on screen, using photos of them crudely placed on animated bodies. The Vance spoof appeared to be inspired by Hervé Villechaize’s sidekick character, Tattoo, from the ’70s and ’80s ABC series “Fantasy Island.”

Vance in the episode is physically and verbally abused by Trump, who calls him “stupid” and at one point kicks him until he flies off screen. In another scene, he offers to rub baby oil on Trump’s lover, Satan.
The main plot of the episode involves school counselor Mr. Mackey joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement because he is in desperate need of money. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is mocked throughout and shown repeatedly shooting dogs, a reference to the fact that she once shot and killed an “untrainable” dog.
This was the latest chapter in an ongoing feud between “South Park” and the White House, which began with the Season 27 premiere on July 23. The episode, “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” had Trump get into bed with Satan, and it presented him as a thin-skinned bully who threatens to sue anyone who crosses him.

That episode concluded with the town of South Park settling a lawsuit from the president by agreeing to do pro-Trump messaging, leading into a public service announcement that shows Trump walking through a desert and removing his clothes until he is completely naked.
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers fired back at the Season 27 premiere in a statement provided to USA TODAY on July 24.
White House: ‘South Park’ hasn’t ‘been relevant for over 20 years’ after Trump parody
“The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after ‘South Park’ for what they labeled as ‘offense’ (sic) content, but suddenly they are praising the show,” Rogers said. “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.”
The statement continued, “This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
The Aug. 6 episode, “Got a Nut,” appeared to confirm that Trump and his relationship with Satan will be an ongoing storyline throughout Season 27.
