10 Worst South Park Episodes

9. Royal Pudding

Delivering up a parody of the Royal Wedding in 2011 was something everyone expected from South Park. It was a widely covered news event, and as such, Stone and Parker were bound to have some laughs with it, but sadly the episode Royal Pudding did not live up to expectations.

This outing told of Ike's journey to Canada, where he hoped to be part of the group who saved the recently kidnapped princess. It also featured a b-story about Mr Mackey's overly tyrannical directing of a children's school play about the horrors of Tooth Decay.

While the concepts both work on their own, they feel like a strange choice to combine, and things are only made worse as the joke about Mr Mackey berating school children grows old quick. The final twist ending reveals that Tooth Decay himself - who happens to be a real monster - was responsible for kidnapping the princess, and it just feels a little too silly, even for South Park standards.

What's worse about this episode is the Tooth Decay song that the children sing, which will get stuck in your head quite quickly, leaving you to have this episode plaguing your mind for far longer than it should.
