Deflategate may never go away, but at least this time it's funny.
The trailer for the Season 19 premiere of the Comedy Central cartoon "South Park" takes aim at Tom Brady and even hurls insults at his model wife Gisele Bundchen. In the teaser, Eric Cartman is faced with four days of detention at school, but vows to "Tom Brady this thing" and get it reversed.

The Patriots quarterback was suspended four games by the NFL for his role in the deflated footballs scandal in the AFC Championship Game against the Colts last January. Roger Goodell upheld the ban when Brady appealed it to him, but it was overturned in federal court and Brady was eligible to play in Week 1 last Thursday against the Steelers.
Ever the opportunists, "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker just couldn't help themselves and took the scandal head-on in the season's first episode.

"You know what guys, I'm gonna Tom Brady this thing," Cartman says in front of his supportive classmates. "I'm gonna say, 'You're not giving me four days of detention, you're giving me one. No to hell with that, you're giving me no days suspension."
Then, the cartoon even took a shot at Bundchen.
"Then I'm gonna go home and f--k my hot wife," Cartman says, "who's not even that hot and kind of looks like a dude."
Brady has been the butt of jokes in "South Park" before, during an episode that saw him receive laxatives instead of hormones in a spoof on the Canadian healthcare system. Even Goodell has been the source of laughter on the show with the infamous "Goodell Bot" episode last season in the wake of the Ray Rice scandal.
Deflategate was no laughing matter for Brady and Bundchen and even put a strain on their marriage as divorce rumors began to pop up. Despite their issues, now that the scandal is behind him, Brady is more in love with Bundchen then ever, according to E! Online.
It remains to be seen how happy they'll be after this scathing episode of "South Park" hits the airwaves.
The power couple shouldn't fret, as they aren't alone in taking the brunt of the comedic blow. Caitlyn Jenner will also be roasted during the premiere episode.
The fun begins at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday on Comedy Central.
