"South Park" released a brand-new episode after a week-long delay ... and they put FCC Chairman Brendan Carr in the hospital with a parasitic infection.

The new episode, titled "Conflict of Interest," sees Carr in the hospital with toxoplasmosis from cat feces -- and doctors say he may lose his freedom of speech if the parasite goes to his head.

Carr is targeted at multiple points throughout the episode as Donald Trump attempts to trick Satan into aborting the baby they're expecting together with Plan B and more -- but those traps end up hurting Carr rather than Satan.

At one point, J.D. Vance visits Carr in the hospital and is PO'd he keeps getting in the way of the baby schemes ... and quotes Carr’s threat to ABC over Kimmel, warning ... "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way."

The latest instalment, provocatively titled Conflict of Interest, makes no mention of Kirk, although it does tackle the aftermath in a roundabout way. In one of the two main storylines, Trump, upset over the impending birth of his unholy lovechild with Satan, sets a series of convoluted traps to force an abortion, only for Carr to continually wander into them. By the end of the episode, Carr, badly injured and hosting a brain parasite as a result of toxoplasmosis from being buried in a mountain of cat poo, is at risk of “losing his freedom of speech”.

Despite avoiding one of the touchiest subjects of the day, South Park steered headlong into another, finally addressing the genocide in Palestine by way of prediction market apps. A bet on one of the platforms – “Will Kyle’s mom strike Gaza and destroy a Palestinian hospital?” – grows so large that Kyle’s mom ends up flying to Israel to put a stop to it.

For most of the episode, the outrage is directed at all sides, with Kyle angrily yelling: “Jews and Palestinians are not football teams that you bet on”, and his mother proclaiming: “It’s not Jews versus Palestine, it’s Israel versus Palestine!”

However, that outrage is ultimately aimed at a specific party, with Kyle’s mom barging into the office of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and letting rip: “Just who do you think you are, killing thousands and flattening neighbourhoods, then wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s some shield from criticism!” If Netanyahu’s comeuppance isn’t as scatologically extreme as Carr’s, it still provides a fleeting moment of catharsis.

4. I watched it last night and it was on again this afternoon on Comedy Central. It was hilarious..

I can understand why they needed extra time for this episode and they didn’t waste any getting this out!
