The South Park team was sent into a last-minute frenzy on Tuesday night, as shocked as the rest of the nation by the fact that Hillary Clinton failed to score an Electoral College victory in the presidential election. Comedy Central had previously teased Wednesday's new episode, then titled "The Very First Gentleman," with a clip of PC Principal that seemingly called the election in Clinton's favor. In the short time between that clip's debut and the episode's premiere, the title was switched to "Oh Jeez" to reflect the victory of Giant Douche.
"The people have spoken," Mr. "Giant Douche" Garrison said in his acceptance speech, as floored voters were seen choosing from a variety of responses including speechlessness and immediate suicide. "Just as J.J. Abrams did with Star Wars, I will make this country great again. All my efforts the past week have paid off and now let's begin fucking them all to death!"
Ahead of the kickoff of their 20th season, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone spoke with the Daily Beast and others about their plans for the election. "We were like, fuck him, we don't want to give him the satisfaction," Stone said during a Paley Center panel discussion on their decision to use Mr. Garrison as a "stand-in" for the President-elect. "Good political satire has a point," Stone added later on in the discussion. "And for us, it would be such a sacrilege—South Park is the most important thing."
