South Park: Top 10 Eric Cartman Moments
2. Kenny Dies- Heat of the Moment
Kenny Dies, is one of those television episodes that genuinely strikes an emotional chord with its fans and somehow succeeds in retaining many humorous moments.

As he convinces them to legalise stem-cell research, he admits his ability to deliver a speech is lacking, so bursts into a rendition of Asias Heat of the Moment. It would have been easy to fill this list with Cartmans many songs; this is the child who has sped through Styxs Come Sail Away, ad libbed Lady Gagas Poker Face, and even received a Myrrh album full of Christian pop songs.

The powers that be begin stamping their feet and clapping their hands to the beat. He finally proves what his manipulative skills can achieve when he genuinely cares.
