Comedy Central Pulls South Park Episode Mocking Charlie Kirk


Comedy Central has announced it has pulled all reruns of an episode that parodied the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

In the episode, Kirk is parodied by the famous South Park character Cartman, who depicts Kirk by debating students at school using conservative talking points.

Here was a clip of the episode that was posted by Kirk:

Fox News had these details to report on the move by Comedy Central:

Comedy Central pulled planned reruns of the “South Park” episode that parodied late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated Wednesday at age 31.

The episode, titled “Got a Nut,” the second of the program’s 27th season, featured iconic “South Park” character Eric Cartman with a hairstyle similar to the late conservative influencer while lampooning Kirk’s exchanges with students on college campuses. It originally aired on Aug. 6, and the episode showed Cartman receiving the “Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters.”

Kirk was struck with a single bullet around 12:20 p.m. local time Wednesday while speaking at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem. The Utah Department of Public Safety said that Kirk, after being shot, was rushed to Timpanogos Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The episode is still available to stream on Paramount+ and On Demand. However, it will be removed from the Comedy Central regular cable schedule, Fox News Digital has confirmed.

According to the Comedy Central schedule posted online, the network will simply skip the second episode from season 27 when upcoming “South Park” episodes are set to air in reverse chronological order.

Comedy Central declined a request for comment.

In July, Kirk told Fox News Digital he appreciated the “South Park” parody.

“I think it’s kind of funny and it kind of goes to show the cultural impact and the resonance that our movement has been able to achieve. So, I look at this as a badge of honor,” Kirk told Fox News Digital.

Kirk, being the down-to-earth guy he was, was humored about the video when it was first released:
