Citing shows like Saturday Night Live as an example, Stone and Parker say they understand and are grateful for the constant satire they’ve found success in, but that they can only hit the same stuff so much.
Of course, South Park has thrived in its past seasons due to its topicality, politics are highly topical to the mainstream public more than ever.
From the sound of their interview with The Ringer, Trey Parker and Matt Stone don’t wish to do another President Trump heavy season.
Parker adds that at some point, it can be hard to parody someone if it feels as though that person’s real life persona becomes the parody you’re poking fun at.
