The South Park episode titled "Oh, Jeez" that was televised this week had to be quickly tweaked by its writers and creators to highlight President-elect Donald Trump's victory.
At first, the seventh episode of the series was so-called to be titled "The Very First Gentleman," a connection to Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's husband Bill. Matt Stone and Trey Parker the creators of the episode predicted that Clinton will win the election.
A clip of that election was teased earlier this week. After the results of the elections were released, the writers were caught off-guard and immediately rewrote the scene.
South Park Script Rewritten: Creators Feedback
South Park's script, unlike any other cartoon's, is written just one week before it airs. This is to ensure that they can poke fun at the latest "headlines". In fact, in its 19th and 20th seasons, they have featured several ridicules on both Clinton's and Trump's campaigns.
Therefore, when the new US President-elect won, the writers had to make a quick changes to the episode's script within 24 hours to reflect on the immediate aftermath of Trump's win.
The episode was titled "Oh, Jeez" a reference to the catchphrase of the show's Donald Trump "Mr. Garrison" and probably everyone's shock on the turn of events.
In 2008, Stone and Parker correctly predicted the election. They could deliver a memorable episode. Election stories have fueled some of the show's comedic gold, like the "Douche and Turd" a week before the 2004 elections.
Episode 7 Storyline
Soon-to-be former President Barack Obama and John MacCain was parodied teaming up to steal "The Hope Diamond" during the 2008 election episode.
In the selection storyline of the show, Clinton is the character with the nickname "Turd-Sandwich." After the opening scene, where Mr. Garrison was declared winner, people at a turd sandwich rally were seen crying and disoriented with one person even shooting himself.
The episode also made strong emphasis about internet trolls and sexism.
