Top 10 Episodes of South Park

My wife Kelly and I were talking about this in the car last night. I came up with 10 episodes that I would be comfortable with saying are my top 10 episodes but then I think I rattled off an honorable mentions list of maybe 50 episodes after that. I decided this would be a good blog post so I'm going to cover my 10 episodes here. They aren't in any specific order, I couldn't narrow it down to a chronological list even if I tired, and you might disagree with some of my choices here. I also plan to do a future post with honorable mentions.

Rainforest Shmainforest Season 3 Episode 1:

The guys are forced to join "Getting Gay With Kids" after causing trouble in Mr. Garrison's class. This episode features a rare celebrity guest appearance as Jennifer Aniston voices Miss. Stevens. The trip through the rainforest doesn't quite go as planned though and the group's naive worldview is challenged at every turn. The episode ends with everyone reversing their opinion and wanting the rainforest destroyed.

Each year, the Rainforest is responsible for over three thousand deaths from accidents, attacks or illnesses. There are over seven hundred things in the Rainforest that cause cancer. Join the fight now and help stop the Rainforest before it's too late.

Butters Very Own Episode Season 5 Episode 14:

Butters uncovers that his dad has been cheating on his mom with men. His mother freaks out and tries to kill Butters. His parents then try to cover up Butters' death until he pops back up. This episode has always been one of my personal favorites. I probably watch it once a year or so. The parts where Butters follows his dad around to the gay porn theater and gay gym are classic South Park moments in the series.

The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers Season 6 Episode 13:

I could safely say this is one of my favorites. There's just so much to love in this episode. Butters becoming Golem, Tokens' speech after seeing Backdoor Sluts 9, the reactions of the wives to their husbands knowing what that porn is.

Christian Rock Hard Season 7 Episode Episode 9:

The cover of the Faith +1 album is my Twitter photo and has been for a long time. This is a typical episode where Cartman has a scheme and it eventually blows up in his face.

Good Time With Weapons Season 8 Episode 1:

I was heavily into anime when this episode came out. I think it was my favorite episode for 5 or 6 years without question. I still love this episode but I just kind of feel bad for Butters and it makes the episode hard to watch. The anime tropes are still hilarious and Cartman sneaking onstage naked is hilarious.

Trapped In the Closet Season 9 Episode 12:

I love this episode for a simple reason... it makes Tom Cruise and R. Kelly look like assholes.

Make Love, Not Warcraft Season 10 Episode 8:

I don't know how this episode comes across if you haven't played World of Warcraft. My wife never disliked this episode but she had a deeper understanding of the show after she fired up WoW for the first time. There's a ton of things about the game that as a player you get a good chuckle out of.

The Ungroundable Season 12 Episode 14:

It's been almost 5 years since this episode originally aired and I still giggle like an idiot whenever someone says "per say". I also avoid saying that word at all costs because my wife will just bash me for doing it. Butters as a vampire is so great you can't even put it into words.

Well, Mom, apparently Butters is gay, finds me very attractive, and, confused about his sexual identity, puked up all over my floor

The above quote might be the best thing ever said on South Park. It never ceases to crack me up and just sums up the episode so well. The Goth kids burning down Hot Topic is a great resolution to this storyline.

The Coon Season 13 Episode 2:

In the wake of the Christian Bale Batman and this bashes the way he talks perfectly. I was delighted when they brought the Coon back a few seasons later.

Butters Bottom Bitch Season 13 Episode 9:

I love this episode more every time I watch it. My wife and I watched it about a week ago. On the viewing, it crashed it's way into my top 10 list. The police chief going around as a prostitute is horrifying and awesome at the same time. You know where it's going each and every time and they just make you want to cover your eyes from the horror. Butters acting like a pimp is also classic.
