South Park star Trey Parker seems to be over creating jokes around the President of the United States, despite the 'crazy ratings'.

Parker, who voices four of South Park's main characters, said he and longtime collaborator Matt Stone, are fed up with the Donald Trump jokes.

'We fell into the same trap that Saturday Night Live fell into, where it was like, "Dude, we're just becoming CNN now. We're becoming: Tune in to see what we're going to say about Trump,"' Parker told the Los Angeles Times.

'We fell into the same trap that Saturday Night Live fell into, where it was like we're becoming: "Tune in to see what we're going to say about Trump,"' Parker said. On South Park, Parker voices several characters including Cartman, Stan and Mr Mackey

'Matt and I hated it but we got stuck in it somehow,' he added.

Parker, who most recently voiced comedic super-villain Balthazar Bratt in Despicable Me 3, told the Times that he's ready to get back to get back to 'the bread and butter' of South Park.

'This season I want to get back to Cartman dressing up like a robot and [screwing] with Butters, because to me that's the bread and butter of 'South Park': kids being kids and being ridiculous and outrageous but not "did you see what Trump did last night?" Because I don't give a ... anymore,' he said.

Six out of Season 20's 10 episodes featured Mr Garrison, the animated version of Trump.

One of the most notable episodes was 'Oh Jeez' in which Mr Garrison was shown around the show's version of the Pentagon.

As he takes the tour, Mr Garrison is given the 'military secrets and classified information', the drone program keys, and the 'famous football' that controls the nuclear codes.

And as the character enters the 'diplomatic strategy and negotiating room' he says: 'Oh jeez, this doesn't look very fun.'

Trump said something very similar to the line in South Park's 'Oh Jeez' earlier this year when he admitted being the president is hard work.

'I loved my previous life. I had so many things going,' Trump admitted in April. 'This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.'

But Parker, 47, said no matter how much they joke about Trump the ratings are more than likely to be pretty good.

'We probably could put up billboards - "Look what we're going to do to Trump next week!" — and get crazy ratings. But I just don't care,' he told the Times.

Parker and Stone's Comedy Central show South Park will enter its 21st season in August.

When asked if he thought the president is funny, Parked said: 'He's not intentionally funny but he is intentionally using comedic art to propel himself.'

'The things that we do - being outrageous and taking things to the extreme to get a reaction out of people - he's using those tools. At his rallies he gets people laughing and whooping.

'I don't think he's good at it,' Parker said but 'it made him president'.

His role on Despicable Me 3 marks his first-ever animated voice-over role outside of South Park, on which he voices several characters including Cartman, Stan and Mr Mackey.
