South Park: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best
5. Season 5 (2001)
The craziest thing about season 5 is the fact it deals with 9/11 less than two months after the World Trade Centre was destroyed... and it's still not the most controversial episode of the season.
Scott Tenorman Must Die is the most notorious event in all of South Park since it concludes with Cartman tricking a teenager to eating his own parents. In that moment, Cartman stopped being "the fat kid" and evolved into a full-on supervillain.
This decision didn't just change how viewers looked at the character; it changed the whole series since dozens of stories in future seasons revolved around Cartman manipulating world events for his own agenda. All of Season 5's storylines are solid but Scott Tenorman Must Die is leagues ahead of the other episodes.
