Trey Parker and Matt Stone got some Randy sized balls
They had it in their contact if they got fired they would get billions there’s nothing that can happen to them without tanking the network.
They played the game very well.
Parker:
> “We were just going to do that first show with the Trump stuff. We laid into him so hard, and the thing became: ‘Well, who’s the bully now?’ It became this just totally juvenile joke of like, ‘We’re not gonna stop. We’re going to do it every single week.’ Even when everyone’s like, ‘OK, guys, move on,’ [we’re] like, ‘Nope, we’re not moving on. We’re going to keep going, going, going.’”
As the audience broke into applause, he added, “That became the joke.” Parker said of uproar from Trump’s supporters, “To me, that was the whole season, was that they kept reacting, and we were like, ‘Well, God damn it. All right, we’ll do it some more.’”
Ironically the Stresisand effect.
Trump is the bully; it’s a rhetorical question.
I love how they’re trolling every casual or fan who cries “wah wah, leave trump alone”/ “stop being political”.
