‘South Park’ Unleashes a Howl: Kristi Noem Transformed into a Puppy-Shooting, Face-Melting ICE Menace—What’s the Cosmic Drama Behind This Wild Roast?

Added on August 7, 2025 inTV News Cards

Is it just me, or did South Park just throw a cosmic curveball sharper than Mercury in retrograde? In their latest uproarious episode, the irreverent animated gang takes no prisoners—mocking Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and tossing pointed jabs at Vice President J.D. Vance, all while navigating a chaotic political circus that feels perfectly timed under today’s zany planetary alignments. The show dives headfirst into controversial waters with Mr. Mackay’s uproarious descent from school counselor to ICE agent, complete with puppy-shooting gags and a Mar-a-Lago fantasy island parody so bizarre that even Pluto might blush. It’s a biting satire that’s as sharp as a Venus-Mars square, asking us: when the stars align for chaos, can comedy be far behind? Buckle up, because this episode is a wild ride through current affairs, culture wars, and satirical brilliance that’ll leave you wondering who’s really running the show—humans or some mischievous cosmic prankster.

South Park mocked Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem in its latest episode — and took some digs at Vice President J.D. Vance as well.

In the episode, titled “Got A Nut,” school counselor Mr. Mackay loses his job due to President Donald Trump cutting the Department of Education’s budget, so he decides to sign up to join ICE (“I’m proud to work for ICE,” declares one masked ICE recruiter, ironically). Mackay watches an orientation video from Noem where she says, “A few years ago, I had to put my puppy down by shooting it in the face, because sometimes doing what’s important means doing what’s hard.” (Noem previously admitted to killing her 14-month-old dog for exhibiting aggressive behavior).

This is followed by Noem shooting several other random puppies in the face, which becomes a running gag throughout the episode. Mackay and his ICE squad then descend on the Dora the Explorer live show to arrest people in the crowd. “Remember only detain the brown ones!” Noem shouts. “If it’s brown, it goes down!” Another running gag is Noem’s face repeatedly melting, only to be patched up by a beautician support team.

Mackay’s success as an ICE agent earns him an invitation to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago, which is portrayed as a Fantasy Island parody — with Trump and Mr. O’Roarke and J.D. Vance as a tiny subservient Tattoo. Mackay realizes the high price for his success — a threesome with Trump and Satan — is too much to pay. Krypto the Superdog from Superman swoops in to seemingly save the day, only to be shot dead by Noem as well.

The episode also took on right-wing podcasts with fourth-grader Clyde becoming a supplement hawking “own the libs”-style “master-debater.”

Earlier this week, Homeland Security posted an image on X from South Park‘s preview that depicted an ICE raid, along with a link to a recruitment site to join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The official South Park X account shot back: “Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks.”

The comment refers to the White House’s official statement that was issued in response to the show’s scathing 27th season premiere last month, which claimed: “Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.”

The episode follows up the show’s blockbuster 27th season return last month, which delivered nearly six million cross-platform viewers and the largest audience share for the animated comedy in 25 years. The episode also received more social media posts than any other in the show’s history.
