20 Best South Park Episodes Ever

20. Awesom-O (Season 8, Episode 5)

Cartman disguises himself as a robot named Awesom-O to troll Butters and learn his deepest secrets, but it backfires when Cartman ends up having to administer suppositories up Butters' a** and is molested by a hotshot Hollywood producer.

Nothing's better in this sure-fire classic, however, than the US government's adversarial response to Awesom-O, kidnapping him and expressing surprise when the "robot" professes it's human (believing its AI to have become self-aware).

Episodes like this prove why season 8 is arguably the show's peak, with both a delicious premise and hysterical execution. Butters and Cartman are among the show's best pairings when the writing is on-point, and helped make this one an all-time great.

Best Moment: Awesom-O pitches terrible Adam Sandler movies to Hollywood, including one where he falls in love with a golden retriever.
