4. Crack Baby Sports League

south park The Death Of Eric Cartman
Comedy Central

Crack Baby Athletic Association. It is precisely as bad as it sounds. This episode is a brilliant examination not just of Cartman's awful behaviour, but an uncharacteristic look at Kyle being suckered into an objectively evil scheme.

In this episode, Cartman sets up an athletic sports league based around a game called Crack Baby Basketball. A messed up sport that sees babies born of addicts fight over a ball of crack. They end up working with EA Sports to develop a video game, until they are eventually tricked out of ownership by EA. But the damage that is caused by this adventure is very obviously displayed.

It makes a lot of sense to see Eric manipulate children like this. He doesn't even think of them like living beings, but rather a means to an end. It is truly indicative of his sociopathy. This is especially highlighted when he reveals that he has no intention to give the babies anything.

It is a great episode with some horrible imagery and a great villain in the form of Eric Cartman.
