Comedy Central/South Park Studios In its 27th season,South Parkcontinues to take shots atDonald Trump— and this week, it tied the president's fictional relationship with Satan to the recent Labubu craze. The September 3 episode, "Wok is Dead," begins with two South Park Elementary students showing each other their new Labubu dolls. Seeing this, Cartman runs to alert his friends: "Guys! Girls with Labubus! It's about to happen again!" And by "it" he means a knock-down, drag-out brawl. While the girls' conversation starts off fine, with each one cooing over how the Labubus are "seriously SO cute," things quickly sour when one girl suggests that the other's "really rare" Labubu might be (gasp!) a knock-off. With that, the fists and the profanity start flying. The girls are sent to the office, where the counselor — Jesus Christ — makes the girls leave their dolls in his office until the end of the school day. Later, at a school administration meeting, Jesus and colleagues watch a Labubu unboxing video made by one of the students, which ends with her sacrificing a chicken in a Satanic ritual after learning her box contained a rare Labubu. The teachers are unfazed, but Jesus is horrified and determines to rid South Park of the cursed plushies. Meanwhile, the President returns from his international tariff summit with Satan in tow. On the tarmac, he takes questions from the press pool, including a Fox News reporter who wants to know if he's "f---ing Satan." Trump denies it, and the Prince of Darkness claims he and the President are "just sorta hanging out." Fox News refuses to drop the story, and continues reporting on Trump and Satan's relationship. Comedy Central/South Park Studios It all culminates at a birthday party for Red, who is thrilled when her boyfriend, Butters, brings her the exact Labubu she wanted as a gift. Immediately, she and the rest of the girls at the party run upstairs to perform a demonic Labubu ritual — which ends up summoning both Satan and President Trump himself. As black clouds and swarms of locusts descend upon the town of South Park, Jesus arrives at Red's house and orders Satan to leave. The Prince of Darkness announces that while he is desperate for a way out of his relationship with the President, he is inextricably "bound" to Trump for a very shocking reason: "I want to leave him, but I can't, because... I'm pregnant!"
