Nearly three decades after its very first episode, South Park continues offering an unhinged, unthinkable satire of the real world, a feat made more impressive by the fact that that real world continues getting more unhinged and unthinkable itself. Nearing its season 27 debut, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are taking aim at real-world issues like airline safety and the ongoing Diddy trial, and we're here to tell you when you can expect to see their brand of crass comic stylings on your very own television screens.

Never ones to shy away from the most taboo of subjects, the animated series also looks to be broaching the subject of the United State's increasing unpopularity on the world stage when South Park's season 27 premiere on Comedy Central this July 9.

Also, in case you missed it in the above subheader, that song that South Park has given the "cinematic trailer" treatment in the background of this video is 'Blame Canada,' a musical number from the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

South Park season 27 premieres on Comedy Central July 9.
