‘South Park’ Takes Digs At Donald Trump As Season 27, Episode 3 Previews Return Of Towelie Traveling To Militarized DC

South Park has not missed any opportunity to take jabs at Donald Trump since their return to Comedy Central with Season 27.

The trailer for Episode 3, titled “Sickofance,” dropped, and it shows the return of Towelie as they travel to D.C. amid a militarized environment.

“Wow! Washington D.C.,” Towelie is heard saying as they look out a bus window, where you can see a reflection of the emblematic buildings.

The visuals of D.C. are of a militarized state as the National Guard patrols the areas with troops holding rifles and army tanks run across buildings like the White House.

“This seems like the perfect place for a towel,” Towelie adds.

Towelie, voiced by Vernohn Chatman, a stoner towel, first made an appearance in Season 5, Episode 8.

Towelie’s return comes as South Park has consistently targeted Donald Trump and his administration. The second episode of Season 27, titled “Got A Nut,” parodied Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem amid the ICE raids terrorizing undocumented immigrants across the country.

Noem was not a fan of her portrayal on the long-running animated series and during an interview on Glenn Beck’s podcast, said, “It never ends, but it’s so lazy, to make fun of women and how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t. They pick something petty like that.”

The digs at Donald Trump’s administration that South Park has been taking have resulted in their audience growing. Deadline recently reported that the second episode of Season 27 drew 6.2M global multi-platform viewers across Comedy Central and Paramount+ in its first three days. That number was slightly higher than the premiere episode, which reached nearly 6M viewers in the same time frame.

South Park’s latest episode comes amid Donald Trump deploying the National Guard in D.C., saying that the city was “becoming a situation of complete and total lawlessness,” despite data suggesting violent crime was down 26%.

South Park Season 27, Episode 3 is set to air on Wednesday, August 19 at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.
