Welcome back to Potsave America, YouTube's premier South Park rewatch show. We have another wild episode to bring you today featuring Donald Trump, his rocky relationship with Satan, Fox News, and Lubbubu. Oh, good. I can't go ask you about that. I purposely did not research what that is because I was told you know. Per usual, I have watched the episode, but Love It is not? I have not.

John's not, no. Okay, so the blind reaction. Donald Trump has been the star of season 27 of South Park. entire episodes have evolved around his teeny tiny penis. So small. There was an episode mocking Apple CEO Tim Cook for sucking up to Trump and giving him gifts. That was a fun one. Also foreshadowing quite a few gifts that happened in real life.

They nailed that one. They made fun of Qatar for bribing Trump with a 747. We kind of forgot about that, didn't we? Yeah, unfortunately. And then the JD Vance character is supposed to be tattoo from Fantasy Island. In the last episode, I think his only dialogue was offering to fetch a comrag. That is right. You guys remember that?

Yeah, it was awesome. Okay, so episode four asks one central question, which we will hear in this clip. The president has just returned from his historic tariff summit overseas. There's the president now looking handsome as ever. Oh, and there's the Prince of Darkness who's been traveling with the president as of late. The president has made his way off of Air Force One and will now speak to a diverse crowd of reporters. Mr. President, how did the tariff meetings go? They weren't great, buddy.

Mr. President, we're all dying to know something. Your wife, Melania, has been staying in New York and away from the White House. That's right. Well, what Fox News really wants to know is, are you fucking Satan? Not fucking Satan? We're just sort of hanging out. Oh, come on, President Trump. With everything you've been doing, pretty much the whole country thinks you're fucking Satan now.

I'm not fucking Satan. Can we go, please? He is fucking Satan That guy's definitely fucking Satan What a stud Yeah, Fox News Just catch the double Entandra there

Yes I did Oh Fox News No no fucking You're fucking Satan Oh my gosh Oh my gosh It's fun to watch in real time I didn't get it

I didn't get it I actually was stuck On the fact that they gave Peter Ducey the heart question Yeah You know what love it That bumped me as well But it's not unreasonable

Well, he does sometimes throw a, he does throw a real one in there now and again. Oh, I didn't realize that was doocy. I think that's meant to be juicy. No one has asked him probing questions like this. Like the whole... Probing questions. Okay. Indeed, they would be quite probing.

I assume. Did you catch how they were like, here's a diverse group of reporters. There's one black reporter in the back. And they all have Fox News badges on. They all save Fox News. Okay, so the plot of this episode revolves around Labubo's. It opens with two girls getting into a brawl over who has the best Labibu. The girls are forced to see the school guide.

and counselor who is literally Jesus Christ. Jesus is very freaked out by what he hears. Later, a girl named Red invites Butters to her birthday party, but says Butters has to get her a specific Labibu as a gift. Love it. What is a Labibu? What is a Labuobu? It's a doll that somehow became acceptable for adults to attach to their bags.

And there are many different kinds of Labuboos, including rare drops. And this can lead to huge numbers of people lining up. early in the morning to get into one of these stores. There's a few different products like this now, and there was a big fight at the Century City Mall that like hundreds of people showed up at the Century City Mall. It might have been for a Lubu or a similar to the product.

The best mall. It's fantastic, though I do have a theory that the Century City Mall is procedurally generated and that every time you go, it's actually a completely different shape and that the stores are relocated in the night. I constantly get lost there. And the parking lot is constantly shifting. It's sort of a diabolical scheme.

The point being, adults are lining up by the hundreds. The mall had to kick everyone out and start the line over because it became so contentious. It was basically a riot for these little dolls. So it's like a beanie baby. It's basically a beanie baby with a hook that you can attach to your backpack. But it's also a beanie baby for the like meme coin economy because there's like a speculative dynamic here as well where people are like buying Lububoos and like the price of Labibu's is going like it's a whole. Are they securitized? I was just to say so when I interviewed

I can do some defaults. I learned about these because I talked to Kyla Scanlan for offline and we were talking and she has called this economy the fart coin Labubu economy. Okay. Because of all that kind of that's what people are doing.

That helped. Yeah. Okay, so in this scene, Jesus raises his concerns about Labibu's during a faculty meeting. Here's how it goes. Bobos. Kids go nuts for him.

I just don't quite understand what the fascination is. Well, they're just the new fad of the month, you know. They make them scares and hard to find a secret one yeah and then all the kids make their lobooboo tic-tok's yeah the kids make them and they watch him i can pull one up this is kelly bronson for mrs turner's class i got this lab boo-boon online and pretty sure it's not a lofifu

i got to cure our code right here we're gonna see what we got it's a rare one if it is i'm absolutely gonna freak out okay let's see let's see let's see yeah this is right this is right Yeah. Oh my God. I did not see that going. That felt really good. Honestly, that felt really good to see.

I'm really, it's like, I'm really enjoying them going after Trump. I'm really enjoying it, but I like to see the camera just pointed at something as fucking insane as Labuboos. I enjoyed that.

That felt nice. It's so funny because Jesus was like, what the fuck did we just watch? And the teacher's like, yeah, Labuboos are demonic, and PC principal is like, yeah,

I don't know if they come that way from China, know if there's some Samarian dark entity. This woman goes, it's Mesopotamian. Correct. So, also, it's like, there's an allegorical piece. Jesus talks about Lubbubo's and phones and TikTok interchangeably. So I think this is a broader sort of cultural critique of phones at schools.

No one tell a certain sub-tech writer that happened. You know, there's definitely a shot at that. I mean, as there should be. Are you prob the phones in schools offline? No, I am the most anti-phones in schools. I am too. I want to take them all until they're 18. I don't know what opinion is more, what argument is more one and the people against it are deadenders.

Like Biden shouldn't have withdrawn or kids should have phones in schools. I don't know which argument is less defeated. No, I watch my one-year-old pick up my phone and walk around the house like this and I'm like, this is bad. I do think the only person still waving the flag for phones should be in schools at this point is Taylor runs. And by the way, a person whose flag says, don't have phones in schools. Look at me. Look what it's done to me. So Labo tariffs are also important. of this episode.

City Walk, which is South Park's Chinese food store, has stopped serving food and now is a Lubbubu pop-up. I think it's called like City Pop-up. We're not going to play the clips because they are just purely racist. But the owner of City Walk keeps saying Walk is dead. That's why he's pivoted to a pop-up story. He says, all says go walk, go Brock, which is funny. Because of the tariffs.

I don't get it. Woke is dead. Woke is dead. Wow. I get it. I get it. Man, I am struggling today. You had to hear it honestly was an audio joke.

Butters can't afford to keep buying Labuboos because of the tariffs. They cost $85? Is that what they really cost? I don't know. I'd rather set the money on fire. I haven't done my TikTok on the one that I found yet. So he is not sure if he can make it to the party, but the pop-up store owner says to him, so he says, hey, it's not me, it's your government.

I don't get fucked by tariffs. You get fucked by tariffs. Who pays the tariffs? Who pays the tariffs? Very specific, helping educate people about who pays the tariffs. Also, who would have thought we could get in some comedy on tariffs? But good job. Good job, South Park creators.

So here's another Fox News clip, just for fun. See if you can spot another actual Fox News host. As debates on American tariffs continue, the question on every American's mind tonight, is President Trump fucking Satan? The president's been seen less and less with his wife and more often with his new pal, making people all around the world say Donald Trump has got to be fucking Satan for sure. Well, for all of us who are still skeptical that President Trump is fucking Satan, Fox News has obtained some footage of President Trump seeming to be fucking Satan. This was at a golf course yesterday where the president was heroically golfing.

You can just make out Satan going behind a Bush and President Trump right there. He's fucking Satan. Karen, what do you think? I think the president is definitely fucking Satan and I love it. There's no way the president could be fucking Satan. So we have a body language expert to show us just how it is possible. Well, if Mr. President Trump is fucking Satan, and I'm not saying if he is or he isn't, I'm just kind of hoping he is,

he mostly likely is coming in from the back. Now, Satan has a pretty large physical presence, so we're pretty sure President Trump would have to get on top of him. I'm doing things no other president has done before. I love him. You didn't think President Trump is fucking safe? It's definitely a proof. That's how he's with me.

So realistic, right? I just... Good shot, Hannity. That's great. It's so funny that CBS is like, this is what we're going to replace Cold Bearwood. Right. We cracked it.

We cracked it. I was going to say, just wait until Barry Weiss gets in there. Yeah. So in all four episodes of this season, we hear Satan talking about how he's not happy in his relationship with Trump. You can tell he wants out.

Satan finally opens up about it to J.D. Vance in this. episode and explains to him why they are still together new rose garden so so on top of it there's the umbrellas Satan why are you so say I wish to be gone from this place I do not understand if you do not want to be here then why do you stay I am forced to stay by the dark tides of to me. JD Vance's voice.

It's so funny. Kills me. I love that they use the meme face. Also, like, the voices being so bad, makes it so good. I think it's just the two guys, right? Yeah, I don't know how they do everything. It's interesting that they're doing the,

Where's Melania storyline with Satan? And then Trump's been hanging out with Satan in a while. Like, do you think that we're heading towards a, I don't know, a potential storyline about a friend of Trump's who's who's been on the plane? who's not that I'm going to say anything because obviously we have seen where that leads so I'm not naming any names here

but I guess the question I would not be surprised if there was some connection either in some future episode drawn right or is this like them talking about that without talking about it so that they don't get the lawsuit I don't know anyway just throwing it out there

just something popped in my hand something popped in his head based on the content just in response to what the content seems to be implying no new information from us We never mentioned by name, the craziest person in public life. Okay, that gets us to the ending of the episode. So Butter's finally gets the special Laboo Boo Boo that Red wants.

But he has to use one of those claw machines, because that's the only way he can afford it with tariffs. Butters brings the Laboubu to Red's birthday party. We see Jesus rushing to the scene, like a first responder, trying to stop Buters, but he's too late. Red gets the doll. The girls go upstairs. Butters thinks he's getting laid.

No, no, no. They do the satanic ritual. and they conjure up both Satan and Trump to the birthday party. So, of course, Fox News shows up to cover it. Let's watch. Yes, we're together. We've been together for months, and I want to leave him, but I can't because I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant.

So now you all know. I am forced to stay in this situation for several more years. Satan is saying he's been trapped at the White House because he's pregnant. Let's get our science expert in here to say that's actually possible. Yeah, demonic pregnancies work a little different. The term is butt baby. All right, well, that seems to be it. Satan is pregnant with the president's child.

So Fox News can now confirm Donald Trump has been fucking Satan this whole baby So it's about Donald Trump wasn't fucking Satan Wow The Kairon is great

But Biden So it seems like What we're heading towards Is Satan's about to be a pregnant person Yeah He's a pregnant person Oh there we go With a butt baby

Donald Trump's gonna be a dad and Fox News is very happy. I love Fox just being for whatever's happening. It's the best. It's so funny. Body language expert. The health expert. What a, that's a great episode.

Later in that clip, they interview Kid Rock, who's just crying. He's like, I knew who's fucking saying this whole time. It's so good. How many episodes left do we know? Well, that's four. I don't know how long a season is. Like 13, maybe. It's whatever they want now.

I'm excited for where this is going. I like that there's a thematic thread through this one here. I also love that they've built up a real, like, it's been so long, like, I remember when South Park started when we were kids. High school. Yeah, and they were just, they were just a couple kids at school. It's become such a baroque and mythical place. I know. There's Satan and there's Jesus.

Yep. Santa. I think when Jesus appeared in this episode, the last time we'd seen him was doing cocaine with Santa in 2019. So, yeah, there's a lot of history here. Great, great season. I do love, again, for folks who haven't watched any of other recaps, Trey Parker and Matt Stone did just get paid $1.5 billion with a B by Paramount to do this, to get the back catalog and to make, I think, two or three new seasons.

But then there's lawyers, there's taxes. Afterwards, it's like, what are you left with? Meanwhile, they're doing this in CBS News is just going to be hollowed out. Cowering. Cowering, yeah. The news broke from Puck last night that they might hand the keys to Barry Weiss. Very Wise who runs The Free Press, the ironically named The Free Press, who most recently was quite famous for saying that kids starving to death and emaciated in Gaza actually at preexisting conditions such as getting part of their skull blown off by an IDF shell. And the media is hiding the fact that the kids that are perhaps the most hurt by a famine had other issues beforehand.

Right. Not that that's how famines always work, which is sick people die first. And so basically, the Paramount might buy the free press is the news. And then as part of the agreement, they might give Barry Weiss a very senior role at CBS in which she would direct editorial coverage for CBS news. So that's what we got. Yeah, things are going good. Hopefully South Park does an episode on that if it comes to be. What's going to happen when if the whole brand is based on the fact that you are not the thing?

What happens when you become the thing? Like the whole point of free press was we're not going to do what the mainstream media is, but you're then the mainstream media. It's a lot to think about. Not countercultural anymore. It should be great for the news. Yeah. That's it for this South Park recap. Thank you for watching. And also please subscribe to Potta of America here on YouTube.
