10 Worst South Park Episodes
10. A Million Little Fibres
Towlie is a very divisive character, and for the show, that is his purpose. Stone and Parker wrote him to parody the trend of inserting an awful character into a series and heavily marketing them, placing them on t-shirts, merchandise and of course, towels. Although the character serves a purpose, that doesn't stop his episodes from being annoying and unfunny.
A Million Little Fibres shows as Towelie attempts to sell his memoirs after being fired from his job for being high. He lies about being a towel to get the book published and soon goes on Oprah to advertise the novel, but the secret of his identity is revealed, and the crowd turn against him.
The episode also features a sub-plot where Oprah's private areas are personified - they are even named Minge and Gary - and attempt to get her fired from her job so she can pay more attention to them. The voices used for the characters are amusing, and the idea has some legs despite its utter crudeness. Sadly the combination of this plot and Towelie as a lead makes this episode feel disjointed and a little too much.
