The latest episode of South Park takes aim at Kristi Noem, humorously depicted as “ICE Barbie,” who is regularly shown in full ICE gear with her face sliding off, necessitating emergency cosmetic surgery. The absurdity continues as her character repeatedly shoots dogs. The episode critiques Noem’s reaction to the show’s satire, where she dismissively claims it’s lazy to mock women’s appearances, highlighting her discomfort more with the cosmetic surgery portrayal than her depiction as a dog killer.
This season has been sharply critical of the Trump administration, with the previous episode mocking Trump’s litigious tendencies and showcasing an AI version of him running naked in the desert. Despite claims of indifference, the Trump team has consistently reacted to the show’s episodes. Noem criticized the creators for not addressing her political record, a suggestion that there’s little of value to criticize—despite significant aspects of her tenure in Homeland Security that warrant scrutiny.
South Park continues to navigate political satire adeptly, appealing to diverse audiences while challenging narrative perceptions. This episode even included a mock ICE raid on a character from Dora the Explorer, landing jabs at public figures like Charlie Kirk with sharp, insightful humor. The creators remain unapologetic, even updating their profile picture to reflect Noem’s derogatory comments, reinforcing their commitment to bold satire amid misunderstandings of their intentions.
