The recent, high-stakes negotiation for the streaming rights to "South Park" was a masterclass in modern media dealmaking. When the dust settled, the iconic series landed exclusively on Paramount+ in a five-year deal valued at $1.

“South Park” isn’t one to pull punches, and in its third episode of Season 27, titled “Sickofancy,” the creative team behind the show continued to take aim at President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as tech companies ranging from Apple to OpenAI, all with a chaser of cannabis politics.

“South Park” has pulled a few stunts of its own since the show returned last month, mocking corporate parent Paramount for caving to Trump by agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit over “60 Minutes” that most legal observers considered frivolous.

South Park Season 27 Episode 3 drew massive attention as it marked the official end of the long-running Tegridy Farms storyline. The episode pulled in millions of viewers across platforms, continuing the season’s record-breaking streak.

Season 27's ratings record-busting run continued Wednesday, with the third episode taking its focus off MAGA and toward the effects of technology.
