Scott Tenorman episode is terrifying and totally messed up. Hands down the winner.
No Casa Bonita? Convincing Butters there was an exinction level event, hiding him in a bomb shelter and then the junkyard, all so that Cartman would be invited to go to Casa Bonita for Stan’s birthday in his stead. Was it worth having the police called on him? “Totally.” That said, nothing can ever top “Scott Tenorman Must Die.”
I agree that nothing, absolutely nothing can ever top “Scott Tenorman Must Die”. Except probably Trapper Keeper.
Scott Tenorman was the first one I thought of. But then I remembered the Casa Bonita, the hippie episode (or did that help South Park? Hard to say), and the Mel Gibson episode. All three of those could have gone to the Scott Tenorman level, yet didn’t.
Scott Tenorman must die. Even Cartman would say that – was it the Family Guy eps where he said “I’ll make you eat your parents!!” or just my nightmares?
is that the cannibal one? the chilli con carnival one? yea thatd be my pick
Nothing can top Scott Tenorman, but my personal favorite Cartman episode is “Fat Butt and Pancake Head”- probably the most absurd episode of the show in terms or suspension of rationality.
“Scott Tenorman Must Die” — hands down. When he sings “I made you eat your parents” and licks the tears off of his face. Horrible… and priceless.
wheres the submit button to vote?
anyway, absolutely Scott Tenemen…killing and feeding the guy his own parents…ugh!
This really should have been titled what’s the second worst thing Eric Cartman’s ever done.
I don’t think he will top “Scott Tennorman Must Die.” He made. a kid. eat. his own. parents. In front of Radiohead. At a Chili Con Carnival. It’s pure brilliance.
Although, giving Kyle AIDS was pretty bad.
Scott Tenorman Must Die. No doubt about it. I loved the exchange at the end: Kyle: Dude, I think it might be best for us to never piss Cartman off again.
Stan: Good call.
yeah, this one even had the other guys stating that they were worried about Cartman
I haven’t had cable in so long I’ve missed a lot of these episodes, so I was going to vote “other” and pick his bit in “The Aristocrats.” But now I’m heading over to the website to watch “Scott Tenorman Must Die.”
Suing Kyle so that he would have to suck his balls was pretty nasty!!!
