South Park: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best

21. Season 16 (2012)

There wasn't a lot of material to work with in 2012 which is why Season 16 makes fun of Bane, memes, and eh... zip-lining. I Never Should Have Gone Ziplining stands out though, because of the segments where the four boys appear in live-action.

However, the entry doesn't do anything creative with these parts and so, comes across as pointlessly gimmicky. Season 16 also has an storyline mocking Avatar director, James Cameron, which feels a few years too late.

A Nightmare on FaceTime seems like a cliched jab at Blockbuster, but it's actually the year's best episode. It emphasises the cluelessness of Randy when he purchases a Blockbuster store after the company goes bust, causing him to fall into a Jack Torrance-styled psychosis.
