South Park's 10 Most Savage Parody Episodes Ever

10. Crime Dramas

This is more about spoofing an entire genre rather than a specific show, so crime dramas might want to start changing their formula a bit.

"Lil' Crime Stoppers" manages to squeeze in every cliche from the play book. In the beginning, as the boys are playing detectives, their imaginations get the better of them. Whilst searching for missing pies, they speculate that the perpetrator behaved more like Hannibal Lecter, cutting up bodies and dissolving the remains in acid, all for a pie! There are tough arguments about jurisdiction, with a bunch of kids playing FBI, as well as slo-mo gun fights. Poor Butters is interrogated, naturally, and expected to produce a... DNA sample. It wouldn't be South Park without... DNA.

All that's before the boys are made honorary deputies in what seems like a sweet gesture on behalf of the police, but, in actuality, they're expected to take down meth labs, with explosive results. Cue a grouchy captain who repeatedly shouts about the mayor having his ass.

It has everything you'd hope for, and, yes, Butters does finally give a DNA sample.
