South Park: Ranking Every Season From Worst To Best
19. Season 14 (2010)
South Park found itself at the center of perhaps its biggest controversy ever during Season 14, but controversy doesn't necessarily equate to quality. And when you take away the censorship fiasco surrounding the images of Muhammad in 200 and 201, the episodes just aren't that good.
Are they important, and did Comedy Central prove South Park's point about freedom of expression by kowtowing to threats of retribution? Yes. But are they even close to South Park's best? Absolutely not.
Unfortunately, that's a theme that pervades Season 14. The season's other multi-parter, centered on the boys' superhero alter egos, tries way too hard and ends up without either a compelling plot or an abundance of hilarity. The !*$% and Friends trilogy and 200-201 take up nearly half the season and don't come close to pulling that weight. And the other nine episodes, despite the occasional funny moment, fail to take up the slack. The low points of this season are borderline unwatchable: Insheeption ranks among the least remarkable episodes in the show's history.
Best Episode: Medicinal Fried Chicken
Worst Episode: Insheeption
