“South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had a simple response to the furor the often-controversial show stoked this week with an episode showing President Trump in bed with Satan and making fun of what they depicted as the president’s small genitals.

“We’re terribly sorry,” Parker said Thursday, holding a deadpan stare as the crowd at a panel at Comedy Central’s Comic Con laughed.

The “South Park” season premiere drew a response from the White House, which said in a statement to the Guardian that the show “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.”

“President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak,” spokesperson Taylor Rogers told the paper.

The premiere of the show’s 27th season also skewered Paramount over its recent decision to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump for $16 million. Paramount received approval from Trump’s Federal Communications Commission Thursday for an $8 billion merger agreement with Skydance.

The “South Park” episode that provoked the White House’s ire aired just days after Parker and Stone reached their own deal with Paramount for the rights to “South Park,” reported by Variety as valued over $1 billion.

Parker and Stone said they were asked by their producers to blur out their depiction of Trump’s genitalia — a request they declined. And with the show being put together week-to-week, they said they were initially not sure if their first episode was going to gain traction.

“Just three days ago, we were sitting there going, ‘I don’t know if people are going to like this,’” Parker said.
