10 Best South Park Episodes 

If you are a fan of South Park, then it's highly likely you love watching Eric Cartman. This foul-mouthed, downright malicious and sociopathic kid is an evil genius, and although you find his views disgusting, you can't look away. Seeing him manipulate and act selfishly is a staple of the series, and one of the best episodes to display that is Casa Bonita.

This episode from season seven depicts the events after Kyle's mother tells him he can take three friends along with them to Casa Bonita for his birthday. Cartman is ecstatic, as this entertainment restaurant is his favourite place in the world, but Kyle is quick to let him know that he isn't invited and that Butters is going in his place.

In response to this, Cartman works hard to get Kyle on his side, and is eventually told that he can take Butters' place if he drops out. Thus, Eric convinces the innocent young Butters that the world has ended and persuades him to hide in a bunker, causing the town to start a manhunt for the lost boy.

Seeing the lengths that Eric will go to so he can attend a birthday party is hilarious, and so on-brand for the kid. Additionally, it's so sweet and haunting to see Butters innocently try to rebuild society from the ground up. The whole episode culminates with an epic climax including police, chaos and justice against Eric.
