Vice President JD Vance tried to put on a brave face in reaction to a humiliating portrayal on Wednesday’s “South Park” episode, but the internet wouldn’t let him get away with it.

The episode portrayed Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home as a sort of “Fantasy Island” with the president as Mr. Roarke and Vance as his assistant Tattoo.

At one point in the episode, Trump kicks Vance, and at another, Vance asks if he can apply baby oil to Satan’s anus.

Although the White House lashed out at the portrayal of Trump in the show’s season premiere two weeks ago, Vance attempted to take a different approach.

“Well, I’ve finally made it,” he wrote on X on Thursday morning in response to a post from the “South Park” account that showed a diminutive cartoon version of him standing beside a cartoon Trump.

Vance may have wanted to brush off the insult, but many people on social media questioned the VP for “pretending he’s cool with it.”

That's a pretty sad attempt at a cope.

You are the VP of the USA. You don't "make it" when South Park skewers you along with your pedo POTUS.

Guess what the "P" stands for?

You understand South Park is bringing awareness to the obvious issue Trump has with a convicted child sex trafficker, right?

You understand you're covering for a probably pedophile, right?
