20 Best South Park Episodes Ever

12. Black Friday (Season 17, Episode 7)

It was just a matter of time before South Park tackled the mayhem of Black Friday, and of course, melded with Game of Thrones, it's a masterpiece.

Airing just two days before the release of the PS4, the timing couldn't have been more fantastic, with the kids becoming divided other whether to buy Sony's console or an Xbox One for their online gaming fix.

It may be a fairly broad target given how well-documented the Black Friday phenomena has been for years, but it absolutely nails the idiotic tribalism of the "console wars". Sure, a whole generation of adolescents probably missed the satirical element of the argument, but that does nothing to diminish how utterly spot-on it is.

Best Moment: A commercial for the new "Stop Touching Me Elmo" toy, which comes complete with a toothpaste dispenser located in Elmo's crotch which gives him pleasure every time it's squeezed.
