This is it, folks. The final installment. Crane and I debated this one, but in the end, we agreed that this is the most disturbing episode of South Park. What special time and special day, it’s…

01. Woodland Critter Christmas

Hail Satan! Was there ever any doubt this’d be near the top? Take one part Christmas cheer, two parts cute woodland critters, add splashes of blood and orgies (sometimes at the same time), sprinkle with Satanic powers, twist in some abortions, and top with one confused Stan. From the first minute to the last, this one’ll make you gasp. I present to you, discerning consumers, the finest Christmas special ever to feature the sacrificial slaughter and consumption of a cute critter. Watch this episode.

Fox’s Favorites:

02. Cherokee Hair Tampons

Even if I discounted all the humor in this episode, it’d still be in my top twenty for the sweetness of Stan’s efforts to save Kyle. Once you add in the humor - Butters being made into a living card for Kyle, “Indians” voiced by Cheech and Chong, and Cartman refusing to give up a kidney, even when it’s out in his hand - this one shoots right up to the top tiers of my list. Watch this episode.

01. Fat Butt and Pancake Head

Even though “Bennifer” is not in the general lexicon anymore, this episode’s still a clear winner. Yes, one could argue that it’s yet another “Cartman hatches a bizarre plot” episode, but this one’s special. Through this whole thing, it’s unclear as to whether not this actually is Cartman’s plot, whether or not he’s in control. The gags are memorable, the songs are singable, the stereotypes are spot-on. It’s a fun ride, and Cartman’s last line makes me bust out laughing without fail. Every. Single. Time. Watch this episode.

As I promised, I’ll leave you with the original lists of the ten most disturbing episodes that Crane and I came up with separately. Until next time!
