“South Park” was firing on all cylinders as it roasted members of the Trump administration, including Kristi Noem and her rumored lip filler and other cosmetic procedures. In the “Got a Nut” episode that aired on August 6, Trey Parker and Matt Stone took several jabs at the Department of Homeland Security Secretary. One scene depicted Noem leading an ICE raid, in full glam gear, as they infiltrated a Dora the Explorer concert. The puffy-lipped cartoon version of Noem stood on stage and addressed the crowd. Afterwards, while she was outside talking to Mr. Mackey, Noem’s Botox started melting — and the skin literally slid off her face. Almost immediately, a group of stylists and aestheticians rushed to the cartoon version of the former governor and quickly re-affixed her skin. That wasn’t the only raid “South Park” had Noem involved in. She also led a group of ICE agents on a convoy to heaven, where they gathered up angels for deportation.
🚨SOUTH PARK DOES IT AGAIN
In their new episode Kristi Noem’s Botox melts as ICE carries out a raid to deport Dora the Explorer but finds she’s been s*x trafficked to Mar-a-Lago and is giving a massage to an old man.
They are pulling ZERO punches! 🔥

Much to the delight of her detractors, animators made sure to highlight Noem’s use of lip fillers in each scene by giving her outrageously large lips. Naturally, this led to the DHS Secretary being roasted online. “South Park just burned Noem, ICE, and Mar-a-Lago in under 30 seconds. Botox, deportation, trafficking,” one viewer wrote on X. “It’s completely accurate, Noem’s botox does melt. Her facial surface is bumpy,” another added. “Her face constantly sliding off was awesome,” a fan wrote.
Not only did “South Park” depict Noem’s exaggerated lips in ludicrous raids, but it also showed “ICE Barbie” killing several animals — a past controversy of hers that some viewers may have been unfamiliar with.
Kristi Noem shot her dog
Besides roasting her cosmetically-enhanced face, “South Park” also took aim at Kristi Noem’s controversial puppy scandal. In April 2024, the politician came under fire for an excerpt in her book “No Going Back” where she discussed the time she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog named Cricket. Noem claimed the dog was “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and viewed the shooting as a form of euthanasia. Unsurprisingly, she faced a deluge of backlash online, which led to Noem defending her actions in a lengthy post to X. “I can understand why some people are upset about a 20 year old story of Cricket, one of the working dogs at our ranch,” she wrote. “As I explained in the book, it wasn’t easy. But often the easy way isn’t the right way,” Noem added.
“South Park” took this info and pushed the envelope by writing multiple scenes where Noem’s gun lust is portrayed. One scene showed Noem shooting and killing Krypto, the loveable flying super dog from “Superman.” After shooting the pooch, the show gave a closeup of the former governor’s face, and she had massive lips.
When footage of that scene was shared on X, Noem critics used it as fodder to pile on the controversial head of the Department of Homeland Security. “Ofc she would because Kryto is not from the United States it’s from a different planet Noem is such a dumba**,” one person wrote. “South Park just gave Kristi Noem her supervillain origin story,” another joked. Others focused on how the animators poked fun at Noem’s reliance on cosmetic procedures. “She turned more evil with each pockmark that appeared on her face. Her origin story is bad acne scars,” an X user wrote.
