"The mocking tune was part of South Park's Thanksgiving-themed episode, which aired on Wednesday night on Comedy Central. President Donald Trump, in the episode, sends Hegseth to town to rescue Peter Thiel, who was locked up in the previous episode. Hegseth is portrayed as a macho kook who is fixated on posting content to social media. Pete Hegseth is a f*cking douche, the song goes. Acting like a tough guy, posting it around the world. Making lots of content like a little teen-age-rrr."
"The episode shows a cartoon Hegseth tackling and arresting locals, doing pull-ups, and taking a selfie while flying a jet as the Kenny Loggins parody plays. Hegseth said he went to woke liberal South Park to kick bubble gum and chew ass, and I'm all out of ass. The president then calls and berates Hegseth, saying he needs to stop making content and save Thiel."
"Later, Hegseth enters the local police station in dramatic fashion, accompanied by two National Guard members who are streaming the attempt to break Thiel loose. Hegseth and the troops are thwarted, though, and the secretary ends up in the clink alongside Thiel. The episode also showed South Park participating in a 5K Turkey Trot sponsored by Saudi Arabia. Disparaging remarks towards the Saudi Royal family are strictly prohibited, the ad for the trot said goofing on Trump's recent meeting with Saudi ruler Mohammed bin Salman."
South Park portrayed Pete Hegseth as a macho kook obsessed with posting social-media content, using a parody of Top Gun's "Danger Zone" to brand him a f*cking douche. The Thanksgiving-themed episode shows the president sending Hegseth to rescue Peter Thiel, with scenes of arrests, pull-ups, jet selfies, and livestreamed National Guard members. Hegseth's dramatic rescue attempt fails and he is jailed alongside Thiel. The episode also satirized a Saudi-sponsored 5K Turkey Trot and depicted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shooting a dog. Trey Parker and Matt Stone continued frequent lampooning of Trump administration figures.
