Forgive me for getting this post up a bit late. I’m feeling a skosh sick. Not as sick as the boys in today’s episode, though.

08. Tonsil Trouble

Let’s not beat around the bush - this is the episode you always knew would happen. Kyle gets AIDS. The less expected twist would be that it’s Cartman who gets it first and purposefully gives it to Kyle. Just… just let that idea sink in. Not cool, Cartman. Not cool. Watch this episode.

16. The Red Badge of Gayness

I am STILL pissed off that s’more schnapps doesn’t actually exist. You’re passing over a goldmine, liquor barons, a goldmine! Watch this episode.

15. Raisins

Contrasting with today’s disturbing choice, here’s an episode I didn’t expect to happen. In the first scene, Bebe informs Stan that “Wendy breaks up”. What follows is Stan’s rapid descent into depressed gothdom, balanced by Butters falling for a girl named after a car who shows off her “raisins”. This episode even manages to throw in a monologue given by Butters that is simultaneously appropriate and quotably wise. Watch this episode.
