He would want the episode back up.\u201d Kolvet issued his statement one week after a gunman fatally shot Kirk, 31, during a speech at Utah Valley University. Police arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the killing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The episode in question, \u201cGot a Nut,\u201d aired August 6, 2025, as part of Season 27. It featured Eric Cartman becoming a right-wing podcaster and parodied Kirk\u2019s hairstyle, debate tactics, and public persona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Although the episode remains available on Paramount+, Comedy Central removed it from its broadcast lineup after Kirk\u2019s assassination. National File and other outlets noted the removal, while some online commenters criticized the decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kirk himself reacted positively when the parody first aired. In an August interview with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/charlie-kirk-embraces-south-park-parodying-him-upcoming-episode-badge-honor\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Fox News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Fox News<\/a>, he called the appearance a \u201cbadge of honor\u201d and stated, \u201cWe as conservatives should be able to take a joke, we shouldn\u2019t take ourselves so seriously \u2013 that\u2019s something that the left has always done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He also <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/tv\/news\/2026221-south-park-charlie-kirk-episode-pulled-after-assassination-despite-activist-praise\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:shared a TikTok;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">shared a TikTok<\/a> video describing the parody as \u201chilarious\u201d and a form of \u201ccultural domination.\u201d \u201cWe have a good spirit about being made fun of,\u201d Kirk said. \u201cThis is all a win. We as conservatives have thick skin, not thin skin, and you can make fun of us and it doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced they delayed their next episode\u2019s release, citing production timing. \u201cWe didn\u2019t get it done in time,\u201d they said in a statement. \u201cThanks to Comedy Central and South Park fans for being so understanding.
