Donald Trump’s presidential victory is throwing everyone off, including the writers and producers of South Park.
Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are known to operate on a very tight schedule by producing an episode in the span of six days before it airs. However, with the unexpected election of Donald Trump, Stone and Parker had to scrap their original episode and re-write it to match the result, according to Esquire.
On Wednesday night’s episode titled “Oh, Jeez” (originally titled “The Very First Gentleman” in the event that Hillary Clinton won), the town of South Park is shown freaking out after news outlets report that Trump has won the presidency.
The episode focuses on how Hillary/Turd Sandwich responds to her loss by recruiting Gerald to steal some hacking equipment from Denmark. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton looks to start a “Gentleman’s Club” with Bill Cosby that involves kissing up to the scorned women in their lives in anticipation of the website TrollTrace.com exposing all of their online activity.
Despite this synopsis, on South Park’s website, the original plot summary read like this:
In previous episodes during South Park’s 20th season, Trump/The Giant Douche (portrayed by Mr. Garrison) was looking for any way to throw the election to Clinton because he had no plan. But, as the episode opens, Trump is shown giving a victory speech where, with glazed over eyes, commits to his original plan of “f**king everyone to death” that made him so popular.
