What South Park’s Alternate Ending Says About Their Kristi Noem Parody
Of all theparody characters inSouth Parkseason 27, episode 2, from Trump to Vice President JD Vance, Noem got the biggest focus across the episode. She had a running gag of killing dogs,a reference to her 2024 autobiographyNo Going Back, where she detailed killing her 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, Cricket, for being untrainable as a hunting dog.
No Going Backalso includes a passage where Noem alluded to wanting to kill Joe Biden’s dog, Commander, for biting Secret Service agents over a dozen times across his presidency to that point.
Because Cricket was so young, the episode focuses on Noem killing puppies anytime one shows up near her, an exaggeration of what happened on her farm. This ending is the most hyperbolic version of this, with her specifically going into a pet store and shooting all the dogs to death. However, it emphasizes the comedic point the show is making.
ThecontroversialSouth Parkepisodeextends the bounds of what Noem did in real life to paint her in the worst light possible. This even included her killing Krypto fromSupermannear the end of the episode. This alternate ending is merely a continuation in the wildest way, wrapping the running gag up with a fittingly edgy bow.
Our Take On South Park’s Alternate Ending For Kristi Noem
While Noem responded to the episode bycalling it sexist for its depiction of her face as a living creature, while not discussing the running gag of her killing dogs. But this new clip from Paramount+’s version of the episode emphasizes how the creatives behind the show are willing to paint her in the absolute worst light possible.
To some extent, the final moment goes a bit too far, since her killing so many dogs, even offscreen, could be upsetting for some viewers. ButSouth Parkclearly wanted to make Noem look as evil as possible in the episode, hyperbolizing real-world events to make it happen. In that instance, it’s a fitting conclusion to season 27, episode 2.
