10 Best South Park Celebrity Cameos

4. Radiohead

Quick: what would you do if someone tricked you out of $16.12? What if said trick involved you buying someone's pubic hair so that you could tell your friends that you DO, in fact, have pubic hair? You'd leave it alone, right? Well you, dear reader, are not Eric Cartman. No, for Eric Cartman, the quest for vengeance became a Captain Ahab-esque obsession in the classic episode, "Scott Tenorman Must Die".

That obsession came to a head when Cartman - after having plan after plan foiled - orchestrated the murder of Tenorman's parents, whom he then chopped up into chili and fed to Scott.

As you do.

The icing on the cake is the involvement of Radiohead. You see, Radiohead is Scott Tenorman's favorite band. He idolizes them. He has posters of them on his wall. So, naturally, Cartman has to exploit it. He lures them to South Park by writing a letter explaining that Scott has butt cancer, and as he sits hunched over, weeping into his bowl of Mr. and Mrs. Tenorman chili, they walk past and mock him for crying. They call him a crybaby, declaring that he's "the most uncool kid [they've] ever seen".

This is the REAL Radiohead, mind you.

Spectacular.
