Caitlyn Jenner Will Be ‘Stunning And Brave’ On ‘South Park’ Season Premiere


The long running Comedy Central show South Park is starting its 19th season on Wednesday and apparently plans to tackle Caitlyn Jenner in the first episode. Is anyone surprised?

The animated show has a long history of ridiculous, hilariously raunchy jokes about current events and has always poked fun at the people who are making the most headlines and causing the biggest stink. Considering the amount of media exposure Caitlyn has gotten since her big reveal on Vanity Fair, it’s really no wonder that the creators of the show, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have decided to parody Caitlyn Jenner in the season premiere.

In what is anticipated to be a very stunning and brave episode, South Park gets a new character that will unquestionably bring about some absurd antics. Comedy Central released a statement about what to expect from the episode featuring Jenner.

“There is a new principal at the helm of South Park Elementary. He forces the boys to confront the damage they’ve done through their history of racism and unconscious bias. It is the most stunning and brave South Park ever.”

The episode honoring the beautiful Caitlyn Jenner will be titled “Stunning and Brave,” which is speculated to be a salute to what Kris Jenner said about the acceptance speech Caitlyn made when she was awarded the Author Ashe Courage Award at the July ESPYS Awards. Jenner said the speech by Caitlyn was “amazing and very brave.”

It’s safe to assume that the homage to Kris’ quote in the episode title is sarcastic and is making fun of the former Mrs. Caitlyn Jenner. However, one hopes that the jokes don’t become too distasteful.

Considering the show’s past, it’s not unwarranted to expect the Caitlyn imitation to be a little offensive, but the Comedy Central press release promises that in the episode, “the boys express their utmost respect for Caitlyn Jenner.” The show has a history of pushing the limits, but it’s all in good fun and isn’t meant to be harmful.

So what can we expect from the South Park version of Caitlyn, who has become the butt of many jokes, including the scandal involving an unsavory Halloween costume? The precedents we have to go off of involve Barbara Streisand, who evolves into a giant, metal Godzilla, and the singer Lorde, who is actually Randy Marsh. With exemplars such as these, we can expect a fully outrageous animated tribute to Jenner.

You can catch the South Park season premiere featuring Caitlyn Jenner tomorrow, September 16, at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.
