South Park: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best

18. Season 18 (2014)

Season 18 was pretty ambitious since it was the first time South Park tossed aside the self-contained plots and instead, focused on serialisation. Since this was the cartoon's first attempt at this sort of story-telling, it was a little clumsy, but it worked over all.

Although aeason 18 is mainly known for Randy Marsh coming out as the New Zealand singer, Lorde, it's not as funny as you may remember. Randy shouting "Lorde! Lorde! I am Lorde!" in a tight dress and wig is funny... until you realise it goes on for eight episodes!

Sadly, the season fails to neatly tie all the plot threads. If the creators have difficulty connecting all the narratives in a nice little bow, maybe they should consider bringing back single-episode plots in the future.
