The creators of South Park have continued their attacks on the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, in the recently released end credits scene of their latest episode.
In the scene, included on the Paramount+ streamed version of the episode and subsequently shared on the South Park X account on August 11th, the caricature of Noem is seen to enter a pet store and start a shooting spree to kill a litter of puppies.
This running joke came after Noem was also parodied in an episode on August 6th, where she was depicted as heading up the ICE department and shooting a puppy in the face, which was based on a true confession that she had made in a book about her life.
In the original South Park clip, Noem justifies murdering the animal “because sometimes doing what’s important means doing what’s hard,” referencing a story she admitted in which she once killed her 14-month-old dog because it had got loose and attacked chickens belonging to her neighbour.
Noem had hit back at the August 6th clip, which portrays her with her face continuously melting off due to too much Botox, and said: “It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look. It’s only the liberals and the extremists who do that. If they wanted to criticise my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t.”
However, she has not yet responded to her second appearance in the current South Park episode. Strangely, despite this, the end credit scene of Noem at the pet store was only available on the Paramount+ version of the episode, and not in its television broadcast on Comedy Central.
A potential reason for this is that the South Park episodes are created weekly to maintain the most relevance. Therefore, it is possible that the end credit scene was a last-minute addition that didn’t have time to be included in the Comedy Central broadcast, but this has not been confirmed.
