Comedy Central Kristi Noem caricature on 'South Park'

Two weeks after first pointing a firehose of blistering criticism at the Donald Trump administration, South Park is still going full bore against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

The animated adult comedy series first turned its sights on the controversial Trump appointee in the Aug. 6 episode "Got a Nut," which depicted Noem as an unhinged dog-murdering psychopath. Both Noem and Trump have publicly objected to the ways South Park portrayed them, but that's only made the flame of their animus burn brighter.

The official South Park X account shared a new credits scene for "Got a Nut," which viewers who exclusively tuned into the episode's broadcast premiere may have missed after the episode moved onto Paramount+.

"Didn’t see this on TV? Here's the Paramount+ version of the end credits scene," read the post.

After 20 straight minutes of brutal satire sending up Noem as a plastic surgery-addled, opportunistic, cold-blooded, photo-op obsessed dog killer, South Park decided what "Got a Nut" needed was more canine carnage.

In the new credits scene, Noem surreptitiously peeks over her shoulder while hobbling into a pet store. She unloads magazine after magazine into the shop's furry tenants, which let out blood-curdling screams and whimpers. One tiny survivor breaks free and attempts to flee, but Noem leaps through the doors and buries three rounds into its face and abdomen, which gush blood.

Notably, Noem has not objected to the dog-killer component of her animated persona, a reference to a segment of her 2024 memoir No Going Back, in which she describes personally killing her family dog, Cricket, because of the pet's "aggressive personality."

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement czar, who has overseen the unconstitutional and widely unpopular expansion of brutal immigration raids since Trump returned to office in January, responded to South Park's apparent criticism of her appearance two days after "Got a Nut" first aired.

"It's so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look," she said in an Aug. 8 podcast appearance. "If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can't... They just pick something petty like that," she said, adding that "only the liberals and the extremists do that."

The version of "Got a Nut" that aired on Comedy Central originally concluded with a surreal sequence in which Noem's face slid off her head and slithered into the clubhouse at Trump's Palm Beach, Fla., resort, Mar-a-Lago. Her team of aestheticians eventually captures the sentient mass of skin cells and re-adheres it to her head, after which she proudly poses with one foot atop a soapbox, rifle in hand.

South Park has also gone after Trump himself, depicting the president in the season 27 premiere as begging Satan to sleep with him and berating an artist for painting him with a small penis.

"The left's hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as 'offense' content, but suddenly they are praising the show," a White House spokesperson told Entertainment Weekly. "Just like the creators of South Park, the left has no authentic or original content" to premiere.

South Park is now streaming on Paramount+.
