Parker and Stone have spoken about their experiences growing up in Colorado, with its large Mormon community, some of which inspired this episode. A perfectly tight, taut, simple script and real evolution of Cartman’s character, this fully deserves its legendary status. The show incorporates everything from a guest appearance from Radiohead to a wiener-eating pony in Cartman’s quest, but it’s the payoff at the end (which we won’t spoil) that is so hilariously deranged, that you could never have seen it coming.
Essentially the story of Cartman hopelessly and endlessly trying to get revenge on 9th grader Scott Tenorman, after he had sold him some pubes. Scott Tenorman Must Die (Season 5, episode 4Ĭonsidered by many to be the single greatest episode of South Park, Scott Ternorman Must Die is a landmark piece of grossout writing and storytelling by Parker which created a benchmark for what would come in the show's future.
