10 Worst Things Eric Cartman Has Ever Done

This moment has stood the test of time with this show. South Park has had plenty of wild and ridiculous moments, but this scene from episode four of season five is still fondly remembered as one of the most horrific things we have ever seen in a cartoon format.

Scott Tenorman Must Die sees Eric battle it out with a 9th grader who tricks him into buying shavings of his pubic hair. A war is raged as Cartman plans to make the band Radiohead - Tenorman's favourite musicians - think he is lame. In the end, a chilli cook-off is designed, and Cartman reveals his master plan.

After eating the chilli Scott prepared for him which was full of pubic hair, Cartman reveals that he knew he would tamper with the food and had replaced it with a bowl made by Chef. He then lets Scott know that the chilli he is eating contains the dead corpses of his parents. Cartman had them accidentally shot by a farmer and cooked their bodies into the food in true Titus Andronicus fashion.

This act of accidental cannibalism destroys the 9th grader, and Cartman begins to lick the tears off of his face. It is a genuinely evil act and one of the first times that we see Cartman genuinely commit a deplorable crime.

To this day it's still the worst thing he has ever done.
