Matt Stone and Trey Parker are absolute comedy legends. Taking their tiny, poorly animated show South Park and turning it into one of the biggest properties not only in comedy but on television itself, was a feat that very few creators could have accomplished. It is a testament to the work that they have created that so few episodes of South Park can even be called bad.

Even at their worst, there is still a lot of merit to every South Park episode, that is, of course, with the exception of the following entries. The coming chapters are incredibly poor examples of the general quality that South Park emits. Whether it's a focus on a flawed concept or a lack of creative laughs, these episodes really missed the mark when it came to entertaining audiences.

While a few of the entries have some hidden gems inside them, they are best left forgotten in the show's legacy. After running for twenty-three seasons, it's inevitable that you aren't going to hit it out of the park every time, but these are shots that the genius creators are likely a little embarrassed about.

This list will contain spoilers for the coming 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.
