South Parkย fans were recently left gobsmacked about a NSFW joke made on the popular animation.

South Parkย is known for taking swipes at people in the public eye, with the likes ofย Lizzoย and theย Jonas Brothersย being at the butt of some jokes on the show.

But it’sย Donald Trumpย that’s been joked about in a recent episode that said that theย POTUS had a ‘small penis’.

The White House wasted no time inย responding to the episodeย that fans of the show branded ‘the ballsiest thing that [South Park‘s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone] have ever done’.

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers sharedย withย Rolling Stone: “The Leftโ€™s hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come afterย South Parkย for what they labeled as โ€˜offensiveโ€™ content, but suddenly they are praising the show.”

Rogers went on: “Just like the creators ofย South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasnโ€™t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.

“President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our countryโ€™s history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trumpโ€™s hot streak.”

Yikes.

Parker has since addressed the incident at Comic-Con International in San Diego and said (in a disingenuous manner) that they’re ‘terribly sorry’ about it as the crowd burst into laughter.

While the controversial episode aired, Parker and Stone did get some pushback from the network, Comedy Central, about not blurring the fictional version of the president’s penis.

It was said to be Comedy Central’s only note on the episode. With that in mind, the network said it was going to blur Trump’s manhood, but Parker insisted that it wasn’t pixelated.

According to Parker, he told the network that ‘if we put eyes on the penis, we wonโ€™t blur it’, adding: “And then that was a whole conversation for about four f**king days. Itโ€™s a character,” Varietyย reports.

South Parkย isn’t the onlyย TV showย that the White House has raged about of late.ย The View‘sย Joy Behar has also been at the brunt of a scathing statement shared by the administration after she made some remarks about Trump being ‘jealous’ of Barack Obama.

The White House said of her sentiments,ย perย The Independent: “Joy Behar is an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
