It’s been a time-honored tradition for South Park to parody celebrities throughout its past eighteen seasons, and tonight’s season premiere will see the show take on none other than Caitlyn Jenner.
Although Comedy Central is being a bit cryptic with details, Entertainment Weekly reports that the press release for the episode titled “Stunning and Brave” states, “The boys express respect for Caitlyn Jenner.”
“There is a new principal at the helm of South Park Elementary. He forces the boys to confront the damage they’ve done through their history of racism and unconscious bias. It is the most stunning and brave South Park ever.”
It’s unclear to what extent Caitlyn’s persona will be featured in the episode; however, South Park’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are no strangers to courting controversy through the cartoon’s irreverent humor and have skewered many high profile celebs including Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Rosie O’Donnell and Elton John. While Jenner is most likely not participating directly in her episode, the former Olympian has also been a lightning rod lately when it comes to the topic of gay marriage. In her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last week, she still seemed to have reservations about accepting same-sex marriage. She has since clarified her stance in a blog post on her website stating, “everyone should be able to marry the person they love.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Stunning and Brave” is not the first time South Park makes an effort to explore transgender topics. The plot for season nine’s premiere involved a teacher undergoing a sex change in an episode titled “Mr. Garrison’s Fancy New Vagina.” Last year, the show addressed gender identity in “The Cissy.”

Let’s face it, she will need more than a makeover to get that ugly mug to look like a real woman and what’s below the belt will need a whole lot more

@nmharleyrider: So says the guy on the Harley with a big fat cigar between his lips. What are you compensating for? What’s the cigar a substitute for?

@scotshot: I’m thinking the guy probably owns a ton of guns too. Small dick syndrome.
