South Park co-creator Trey Parker had the briefest of responses on Thursday to anger from the White House over the latest season premiere, which showed a naked Donald Trump in bed with Satan.

“We’re terribly sorry,” Parker said, followed by a long, deadpan-comic stare.

Parker was asked for his reaction to the fracas on the stage at San Diego’s Comic-Con International at the beginning of a animation panel that also included his South Park partner Matt Stone, Beavis and Butt-Head creator Mike Judge and actor Andy Samberg, who co-created the animated Digman!

Earlier in the day, the White House issued a statement on the 27th season premiere episode, which aired Wednesday night. Unlike other characters in the animated show, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert; and repeated suggestions that Trump’s genitalia are small.
