South Park creators ink $1.5B deal with Paramount

[Anonymous]

Eh. Bunch of sellouts.

They just checked the box for “offensive” with this latest episode. It’s what Paramount paid them to do.

Trump probably got to see the script.

Nope, his show was cancelled because of Trump. Pathetic this is not obvious.

Colbert delivers ratings and gets cancelled, South Park turns over script approval and gets a $1b.

Yeah they’re real heroes.

You're literally making up sh#t out of thin air.

Trump and conservatives are no longer punk. They are The Establishment. And they just got skewered by South Park. The "Woke is Dead" storyline with Cartman was so on-point.

They named this episode Sermon on the ‘Mount

…as in Paramount

When does Paramount cry uncle? 49 more episodes of this.

I love that these guys just took $1.5B out of Paramount’s for five more seasons and streaming rights of the catalogue. Paramount didn’t even get merchandising! lol

Reading around internet, seeing some say Trey and Matt are pulling a fast one by releasing episode after inked their billion $ deal and intentionally trying to provoke President, but this is not live tv where no control of what is said -it’s a cartoon that would have been vetted by Paramount’s execs and lawyers. Because so many levels would have already gone thru the episode to vet it and ensure parody, no claims, etc., isn’t it more likely it’s an intentional way for Paramount to lock in that Colbert WAS financial decision and not about content bc look at what Paramount allows for South Park? So calculated move by Paramount that for Southpark creators meant they could go all in for first episode?

You make zero sense at all.

South Park literally delivers episodes to Comedy Central 30 minutes before air-time. They are like SNL - they create one whole episode within a week, working nonstop for six days straight. Scripts and episodes are not vetted. The network airs it. They do this for 10 weeks straight and then need a 40 week break. It's grueling. They will re-write episodes a day or two before air if there is a major event.

Paramount, Trump and the Redstone family have egg all over their faces. They literally just agreed to pay $1.5B to two brilliant satirists who will skewer them for the next five years.

Sorry to pull away the curtain, but SNL skits are run by lawyers and execs too. If need to hear it straight from SouthPark creators: “Comedy Central’s lawyers had approved everything in the episode. “We have a pretty crack legal team at Comedy Central that everything gets okayed by,” Stone explained. “So in an episode like this, they gave us pretty explicit guidelines about how much had to change. Every one of those characters was checked by a group of lawyers who approved it and had it altered in some small way.”

No egg. This is 27th season. Just reading titles of episodes everyone knew what content SouthPark puts out. This is not Sesame Street signed a deal and put out porn- it’s SouthPark and their content is no surprise after almost 30 years, which is why they get the billion $ deals.

Agreed.

Playing the greatest hits (Trump was in bed with Satan... just like Saddam Hussein was?) ain't it.

South Park is 20 years past being "biting satire"—it's now just boring.
