Still not liking Butters? Awesome-O and Fun with Veal on a worst episodes list? Cracker, your terrible taste has followed from your game's list. :p
I will say Butters Bottom Bitch actually did almost make my top ten episodes. It was smurfing hilarious.
And here it is!
Top Ten Episodes
10. Cartman Land (Season 5)
You know, there was this wonderful beauty to the episodes conclusion. Just seeing Cartman slowly devolve into suffering, and the almost twisted way that cartmans suffering is what gave Kyle his will to live again. I kind of like how the similarities are shown between Cartman and Kyle in that regard, and that’s the reason I almost put on ‘Crack Baby Athletic Association on this list. However anything in that episode past seeing Kyle turn into Cartman wasn’t really that funny, so it didn’t make it.
9. Cartoon Wars 1 + 2 (Season 10)/Pandemic (Season 12)
Yes you could say I’m cheating here, but smurf off. Starting with Cartoon Wars, not only did I absolutely love how much family guy get’s blasted in these episodes and seeing Cartman’s seething hatred for it, but I also liked how the show is actually in part offering a defense for Family Guy’s existence. The final punch that makes me love the episode was the bit where you get text saying ‘Yep, Comedy Central completely pussied out on showing Muhammad here’.
Pandemic I loved because of Craig. Normally in this show you have either Kyle or Stan to play the Straight man. However this time they bring in Craig for that, and we actually see the South Park writers using him to illustrate some of the bizarre writing you see with South Park a lot. Craigs comments on why nobody likes hanging out with our main characters, how they always cause everyone's problems, it’s just beautiful and satisfying to see the show’s creators poke fun at their own show within it. That with Craigs inability to give a smurf by the end was wonderful, the monotone and irritable voice of his fitting perfectly at that finally.
8. You're Getting Old + Assbergers (Season 15)
This is not the funniest couple episodes, this is not the most clever commentary they’ve ever done, nor is it the most over the top they’ve ever done. What it is though is probably the most depressing thing I have seen in this show. The first episode almost lost me until the last five minutes when it seems nothing will ever be the same, and Stan and Kyle drift apart. Then the entire next episode, when Stan finally accepts and looks forward to all the new things life will bring, everything snaps back to the way it was before. What should have been a happy ending ends up leaving you more depressed then before. It may not have been the best comedy writing they’ve done, but damn it was I sad at it’s conclusion. I really hope this is something that get’s followed up on in the future.
7. Free Hat (Season 6)
Yes, the majority of the reason for this is my dislike of the Starwars Special Editions. Don’t get me wrong, the jokes are hilarious, and the ‘Free Hat’ guys are outrageous and wonderful, but the major reason is my dislike of the Special Editions.
6. The F Word (Season 13)
This is where they start calling the Biker guy Fags. I loved seeing the boys, in frustration, trying to explain what a Fag means to a bunch of people just unable to get it. A particular part I loved were the bikers looking it up, seeing how many different groups it has been used to insult over the years, long before it ever came to mean gay people. This episode was a great look at the changing of language over time and the people who seem unable to accept or understand this change.
5. The Wacky Molestation Adventure (Season 4)
Yep, dystopian future where the kids kill each other to appease the Provider in the absence of their parents. This is just so over the top and goofy, everything about this episode worked for me, even if as social commentary it was not one of the better ones out there.
4. The Simpson's Already Did It (Season 6)Yes, an episode heavily featuring Butters. I seem to like him more as Professor Chaos, but that was only part of the reason for my joy. The bigger part was the Seaman society the created, and the War between the Cartman and Tweek worshipers. Tweek needs a new episode god dammit. Anyway, the point of just how much trout the Simpsons had done, and how even they borrowed stuff from things before, was also great.
3. PiP (Season 4)
I have no smurfing Idea how this pick will be received. But I absolutely love Pip. Seeing him, and other southpark like characters. re-doing a classic story from Charles Dickon’s was smurfing wonderful. The villain was so delightful in her villainy, every aspect of this worked to make you care about the plot, and still laugh at all the goofy south park antics infused with it. The Idea that Pip is now dead is a tragedy.
2. The Coon Saga (Season 13 + 14)
Mysterion is Kenny at his absolute best I feel. The infusion of all the Cthullu stuff was just wonderful. There were some damn amazing set pieces throughout, and some wonderful twists and story telling. And finally an explanation for Kenny, one that is absolutely wonderful. And, in fashion of any good lovecraft story, a lot of it still remains a mystery at the end.
And Cartman going all Cutsey to run Cthullu? I don’t know why, but that worked so damn well. Though my favorite moment was the end, when Kenny just goes ‘Well, time to go to bed’. Absolute smurfing gold it was. Here’s to more Mysterion in the future.
1. The China Problem (Season 12)
Yes, the episode where George Lucas and Speilberg rape Indiana Jones, and everyone treats it as if Indy himself had been raped. I don’t care if they already did something similar with Free Hat. The extent to which this one was pushed was just wonderful and hilarious. There is just so much disdane in this episode for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Really I have no more justification for this. :p
