20 Best South Park Episodes Ever

15. Good Times With Weapons (Season 8, Episode 1)

South Park Trapped In The Closet
Comedy Central

A riotous satire of America's peculiar fascination with weapons, driven by emotion rather than logic, which sees the boys transformed into anime-style superheroes once they acquire some bada** Japanese weapons.

The animation style perfectly replicates the stereotypical look of anime, though it's the social commentary that really makes this one work so well, especially the double standard where Middle America finds nudity more outrageous than violence (as evidenced by Cartman having a wardrobe malfunction). And on that note, you get to see Cartman's wiener, if that's your thing.

Strangely enough, even though it's an undeniable fan favourite episode, Matt Stone and Trey Parker aren't big fans of it.

Best Moment: The anime-style battle between Cartman and Craig's gangs, complete with a terrible "Engrish" song called "Let's Fighting Love".
