Boilerpipe Text	12 September 2025 Paul Glynn Culture reporter Getty Images Matt Stone (left) and Trey Parker pictured at San Diego Comic-Con in July A South Park episode making fun of right-wing activist and Donald Trump ally Charlie Kirk , who was shot dead on Wednesday while speaking at a US event, has been pulled from Comedy Central but remains on Paramount+. Trey Parker and Matt Stone's long-running animated sitcom regularly lampoons leading figures including the US president. The episode, titled Got a Nut, premiered on 6 August and finds the character Clyde Donovan espousing offensive views on a podcast. He then sets up a table at South Park Elementary school in order to "destroy woke liberal students", inviting his classmates to grab the microphone and prove him wrong. Kirk was killed at the age of 31 while hosting a college event for Turning Point USA, the organisation he co-founded, in what police are calling a targeted shooting. Getty Images Paramount owns both Paramount+ and Comedy Central which show South Park In the episode, another South Park character, Eric Cartman, later fights with Donovan and takes his seat while wearing an outfit and hairstyle similar to Kirk. Donovan is ultimately awarded the "Charlie Kirk Award for Young Master Debaters." According to reports in the US , it had been scheduled for a re-run on Wednesday night but it has now been permantently pulled from Comedy Central's TV rotation. It is still available on demand on Paramount+. The BBC has asked Stone and Parker for comment. Back in July, Kirk told Fox News he had "kinda laughed" on seeing the teaser for the episode. He added he used to watch South Park when he was at high school and took it as "a badge of honour" that he was now being depicted in the show, which he described as an "equal opportunity offender." "It's kinda funny, and it kinda goes to show the cultural impact and the resonance that our movement has been able to achieve. I look at this as a badge of honour," he said. An image of Cartman dressed like Kirk appears on the social media accounts for The Charlie Kirk Show. Kirk had been speaking with students at Utah Valley University in Orem, as part of his American Comeback tour, when he was killed. The FBI has released new footage showing the person suspected of killing him running across a roof - from where the fatal shot was fired - before dropping to the ground and crossing a road. Last month, South Park co-creator Parker made headlines with a short joke apology to Trump for having ridiculed him in the opening show of their 27th season. The episode made several crude jokes at the US president's expense. After it aired, the White House described South Park as a "fourth-rate" show that was "hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention". Asked about the reaction during a panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego, Parker said, with a mock-serious face: "We're terribly sorry."

He added he used to watch South Park when he was at high school and took it as "a badge of honour" that he was now being depicted in the show, which he described as an "equal opportunity offender." "It's kinda funny, and it kinda goes to show the cultural impact and the resonance that our movement has been able to achieve. I look at this as a badge of honour," he said.

Last month, South Park co-creator Parker made headlines with a short joke apology to Trump for having ridiculed him in the opening show of their 27th season. The episode made several crude jokes at the US president's expense. After it aired, the White House described South Park as a "fourth-rate" show that was "hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention". Asked about the reaction during a panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego, Parker said, with a mock-serious face: "We're terribly sorry."
