  • Probably the Best Episode of South Park. Ever.

    "Perfect"
    By ninjyte, 3 days ago Report Abuse
    This episode has been included in numerous 'top South Park episodes lists" and has been rated at first or second best episode in many of them.
    It starts out with Cartman stupidly boasting about getting pubic hair, after BUYING pubic hair from a 15 year old named Scott Tenorman and the boys telling him that you're supposed to grow the pubic hair. Cartman goes to Scott and demands his money back, but gets humiliated by Scott more and then he burns the money Cartman gave him.
    Thus Cartman begins his evil plans.
    Sinc the boys think Cartman is a total idiot (and that they hate Cartman), they go ahead and meddle and snitch to Scott, so Scott plans to make Cartman's plan backfire. Cartman's original plan was to invite Scott to a chili festival with many people attending, get a pony to bite his balls off, and have Radiohead, Scott's favorite band, laugh at him when he cries.
    So Cartman does invite Scott, and seems to have everything according to plan, except Scott spies the chili dish he gives Cartman by putting hair in the chili.
    Then the fun starts, and the double backfires and fun! Watch the rest to see why this is the best episode...or at least in the top 3!moreless

  • Cartman gets his revenge on an eighth grader... brutal, brutal revenge

    This episode is my mother's favorite. Since she's a 50-year-old elementary school teacher, you might be surprised, but as she's pointed out several times when we watch South Park, the kids on this show think like kids: they're suckers, they verbally abuse each other without a second thought, and nothing seems better to them than brutal and total revenge.

    Unfortunately, this episode has been played to death, due (I'm sure) to its extreme humor. Unfortunately, if you've seen it once, it loses most of its punch in repeat viewing (much like M. Night Shyamalan's entire body of work). But for that first viewing, oh what a ride it is.moreless

  • Cartman serves up revenge to an eighth grader, in a bloody, brutal sadistic way that would make Hannibal Lecter proud.

    After Cartman is tricked into buying a bag of an eighth grader's body hair, Cartman swears his revenge. But Tenorman continually upstages him and even humiliates Cartman in front of the locals by showing a video of Cartman begging at Tenorman's feet. So Cartman gets revenge in the worst way.......

    The whole episode remains a rib-ticklingly, cleverly written epsiode, and one of the very greatest in South Park history.

    Of so many rude crude and up right screwed up episodes (not in a bad way that is). that South Parkhas to offer. this episode really oversteps the boundies of over 50 unwritten rules.

    On a happy side it shows you how intelligent Cartman is.

    On the really screwed up side: ... Don\'t end up on his revenge list... Seriously

    • (When Mr. Tenorman catches Jimbo and Ned spying on them) Mr. Tenorman: I know who you are! I'm calling the police. (Many men scramble out of the bushes) Men in bushes: Oh no! I gotta get outta here! Edit
    • Jimbo: Wow, those are great…Ned, are you jackin' it?! Ned: Kinda. (Mr. Tenorman comes outside) Mr. Tenorman: Who's out there? Jimbo: (whispering) Dammit Ned, stop jackin' it. Ned: I can't. Edit

    • Pink Floyd Scott: They're paying five bucks a hair for pubes! If I leave now, I can catch the last bus! Cartman: Five bucks a hair? The- that's like a million dollars! Scott: Hehere, take your money! Cartman: Hoho, I don't think so, Scott! I'm going to Fort Collins myself! Scott: Oh, you can't do this to me! Nooo! Cartman: Haha, charade you are, Scott! [runs away quickly] the phrase "charade you are" appears in and originated from the chorus of the pink floyd song pigs. Edit
    • Titus Andronicus: At the end of Shakespeare's play "Titus Andronicus," Titus reveals to the Emperor Saturninus that the food he and his wife, Tamora are eating is actually her sons, Chiron and Demetrius. Titus did this to avenge his daughter Lavinia after Chiron and Demetrius raped her and cut her hands off and cut her tounge out. Tamora and Saturninus were responsible for the framing and the execution of two of Titus' sons and lying to him so he'd cut his hand off. In comparison, $16.12 doesn't seem like that big a deal. Titus Andronicus: Why, there they are both, baked in that pie; Whereof their mother daintily hath fed, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. 'Tis true, 'tis true; witness my knife's sharp point. (Act 5, scene 3, lines 60-63) Edit
    • Kris Kristofferson: Cartman: Hello sir, my name is Kris Kristofferson, I'm with the I.R.S. I'm here to collect $10.00 that you owe in back-taxes. When Cartman tries to get his money back in this case, he uses the alias 'Kris Kristofferson'. Kris Kristofferson is an actor and country music singer. Edit
