10 Celebrity Guests Who Should've Stayed In South Park

10. Malcolm McDowell

Episode(s) appeared in: Pip (Season 4, Episode 14)

Malcolm McDowell was the narrator of what many fans consider to be the worst episode of South Park. The only regular character featured was Pip. Shortly after this episode he was relegated to a background character with Butters stepping in his place to serve a similar role.

The episode Pip was an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, with Pip playing the character who inspired his name. Regardless of anything else, McDowell as a narrator was perfect, lending both an authority and a wry humour to the episode.

Malcolm McDowell, like most successful British actors of a certain age, is a talented narrator. His voice could add class to even the crassest goings on in South Park. McDowell deserves to narrate a more memorable script. As the man who brought to life one of literature and cinema’s most terrifying characters (Alex in A Clockwork Orange) he would be the perfect narrator for Halloween episodes, adding some horror credentials to the humour. McDowell’s guest appearances are diverse: CSI: Miami, Fallout 3, and Slipknot’s Snuff music video, to name a small sample of his work.
