THE BOYS Parodies Donald Trump's Recent McDonald's Event With New Homelander Image

The Boys has once again taken aim at former US President Donald Trump with a new image of Homelander "serving" "people" "food" at a Vought A Burger...

The Boys has always mixed in a healthy dose of political satire along with its comic book and comic book movie parodies, and while they're not particularly subtle, they are usually pretty effective.

Former President Donald Trump has become a favourite target of the Prime Video series, and this latest image shared on the official Vought International X account is a clear shot at Trump's recent appearance working the drive-through of a Pennsylvania McDonald's restaurant.

"Growing up, Homelander dreamed of working at his local Vought A Burger. Recently, his wish came true, as Vought shut down a restaurant and staged pre-selected customers, so Homelander could “serve” “people” “food.” Thanks, Homelander, for showing everyone how you’re a true man of the people!"

During a recent interview with Collider, Homelander actor Antony Starr was asked if he's still having fun playing the villainous leader of the Seven, and the frequent comparisons to Trump.

"One of the great things that I’ve loved, and I do love about this show, and I will continue to love as we keep going, is the layers that we’ve been able to put in with this character. We’ve always been conscious of making him three-dimensional, and not making him mustache-twirling. I know Eric refers to a certain political figure of our time as a base note for the character, and I think that’s right, but ironically, I think we’ve got more dimension in this character than that human. I’ve always looked at that as there are elements of many different people in there and we’ve been able to really dig in. This season we got to go really deep. We had some really deep, dark Homelander storylines, and I was excited for people to see that. I’m proud of what we did, and I’m proud of the character, as well."

"The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power," reads the official season 4 synopsis. "Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late."

Returning cast members include Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti, along with new recruits Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

The Boys will return for a fifth and final season.

It has to be so tough to do political satire when the real world is this surreal and idiotic.

@Clintthahamster - no mention of Homelanders opponent lying about working at mcdonalds to try to appeal to the working class.

@Ryguy88 - I wonder if they'll show Homelander doing whatever the [frick] this is.

@Clintthahamster - Maybe they can have Homelander come up with new fake accents every city he visits or pretend to have a middle class background when he’s obviously never used a shovel in his life.

As if political photo ops are a new thing lol. You all are so weird and obviously have never observed a politician in your life.

I remember in 2020 when all the weirdo Dems put on cliche African colors and were nearing. That was totally organic and not a made up photo op right?

@Ryguy88 -

Snopes always does a good job of fact-checking. According to them, "...there is no evidence (such as a photo, employment record or confirmation from a friend or family member) to independently verify [Harris's] claim."

To be fair, Snopes also confirmed that Trump's McDonald's shift work was staged. The restaurant was shut down with US Secret Service screening "customers." They had them wait in their vehicles at the drive-through an hour-plus before Trump arrived and were simply handed whatever he served (not placing actual orders).

@mountainman - "Maybe they can have Homelander come up with new fake accents every city he visits"

Google code switching. It's normal, and it's fine.

"pretend to have a middle class background when he’s obviously never used a shovel in his life."

Is it really that difficult for y'all to believe that a college student worked at McDonalds for a summer in college? And let's not pretend that Harris' opponent is a hardworking man of the people.

"As if political photo ops are a new thing lol. You all are so weird and obviously have never observed a politician in your life."

Of everything Trump has done in this campaign, this McDonalds photo op is probably the most normal.

"I remember in 2020 when all the weirdo Dems put on cliche African colors and were nearing. That was totally organic and not a made up photo op right?"

Nope, that was dumb as shit. Maybe the most embarrassing thing that the Democrats have done in recent memory, and that's saying something, considering the fact that they managed to lose a presidential election to Donald Trump.

@Clintthahamster - Also I'd say highly likely someone from her background would work at a fast food joint during summer break from college. In addition just as likely it was a small local burger joint most wouldn't know the name of and a slight tweek to a known brand instead tbh but hardly a major thing to bang on about as maybe less than fully true when it easily could be.

Either way I'd say Trump setting up such a thing as a dig at something so inconsequential that is obv gonna be rigged to avoid having to face angry customers who don't like him (esp after the assassination attempts) comes across as lame to me and even without the obv dig always comes across so when any flip burgers on campaigns.

@Superheromoviefan - I think if there was any incriminating evidence against Trump, or even a sniff of it, that the Dems would be all over it

@Superheromoviefan - She can barley kick a midget since she's taking a day off to recover from the campaign trail. Who stops to work because you can't handle the pressure? She's incapable to ever be a strong president and other countries see that as a weakness.

@Superheromoviefan - That shit is old still selling this?

For those that don't know he didn't know who he was once he found out who he really was a kicked him out of Mar Largo and didn't want anything to do with him. But Biden, Obama's and Oprah still partied with him among many many famous people.

@Matador -
yet trump voted and support her when she was attorney general, trump refuse to go to military bc of bone spurs when he was young
kamala has realesed her medical records, trump said he would eight years ago and he still doesnt
Superheromoviefan
Superheromoviefan - 10/23/2024, 8:49 AM
@Matador -
how about something more recent. Ghislaine Maxwell was pimping young girls, here's trump talking about her

Matador
Matador - 10/23/2024, 8:52 AM
@Superheromoviefan - So because he didn't go to Vietnam that your issue. Kamala or Biden's or Obama never joined the military either most Democrats don't. Did you serve?

Kamala also put more black people in prison for smoking weed. But now she's black even though she's Indian from India.
Matador
Matador - 10/23/2024, 8:56 AM
@Superheromoviefan - LOL they don't talk much about it he said he meant her but doesn't know. He expects to know every single detail on every person he meets?

Also Biden & Kamala were in charge for the last 4 years why didn't they release the documents if Trump was in there would have been huge leak. They didn't release anything but Trump got indictments for everything under the radar.

@Matador -
biden had asthma and couldnt. when obama finished scholl the war was over. kamala is a women so..... trump doesnt have bone spurs. one of the reason he wont realese his medical records
yeah, bc thats the law. are you saying she should ignore the law?

Superheromoviefan - 10/23/2024, 9:09 AM
@Matador -
are you stupid? the arrest and trials were under trump. he could realese it but never did.
also, lol now the most famous story at the time, a literally pedo trafficing ring and trump knew nothing? lol wasnt he supposed to drain the swamp, sunddenly he knew very little about this?
Matador
Matador - 10/23/2024, 9:32 AM
@Superheromoviefan - So it's okay for them to have excuses for not ever joining the military not even during war time? Your now just making excuses for them.
Matador
Matador - 10/23/2024, 9:36 AM
@Superheromoviefan - And how many times during his presidency did they try to get him fired and Pelosi wanted to take power. Jan 6 was all Pelosi's doing.

Please bitch keep voting for Kamala all you want an when a war comes the draft will follow either before or after you'll get your chance to join. Draft age is 18 thru 26; good luck chump no excuses if you can't join.

@Matador -
vetnam war was in 1975 obama and harris were around 16-17. you think thats excuse? lets send kids to war?
as for biden the doctors decline to send bc of asthma. he had no choice. trump asked not to go bc of his "bone spurs" which by the way we have no record. biden was told, trump asked, you see the difference
Superheromoviefan
Superheromoviefan - 10/23/2024, 9:46 AM
@Matador -
you are lost, trump had the power the he still refuse he lost. no one tried to get him fired trump was really that corrupt. did pelosi told trump to say to the crowd "we need to march to the capitol" and "fight like hell" etc? how come every single person who was arrested was trump supporter? how is this any of pelosi faults.
also i notice you keep jumping around subjects

@Clintthahamster - trump is absolutely hard working, just not the blue collar type of hard working...but he never claimed to be either, unlike his opponent... and that's the point here!

@Clintthahamster - I'm not sure, I just havent seen biden take a single question from anyone in possibly over a year. If this admin has taught us anything, it's that the president doesnt have to do shit.
