Parker, who also voices several characters in the long-running satire, thought showrunners were falling into the “same trap” as "Saturday Night Live," he tells the the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Thursday. He didn’t want the show to turn into CNN, where viewers can just “tune in to see what we’re going to say about [President] Trump.”
“We probably could put up billboards — 'Look what we’re going to do to Trump next week!' — and get crazy ratings. But I just don’t care,” said Parker, who created the show with longtime collaborator Matt Stone.
Parker, who voices a character in the new film "Despicable Me 3," added that he doesn’t think Trump is trying to be funny, but he uses “comedic art” to make headlines and get the attention that won him the election.
“The things that we do — being outrageous and taking things to the extreme to get a reaction out of people — he’s using those tools. At his rallies he gets people laughing and whooping,” he said.
"South Park's" 21st season is set to premiere in August.
