The 20 Episodes Of “South Park” That Are Required Watching

This episode is possibly the most groundbreaking episode, ever.  Not for the week turnaround for the episodes, not for the huge celebrity spoof list, but that the episode made national news for its content.  Comedy Central was forced to censor Muhammad after 200.  As you would expect, the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, were infuriated with all the edits CC wanted them to make. So, Matt and Trey respond the only way they know how, with a bunch of satire and vehemence.  These two episodes have it all, touching on Tom Cruise and Scientology again, all the way back to nods to Mecha-Streisand.  They even have the entirety of the Super Best friends!  Oh, and the world’s worst high schooler makes an appearance. And the Coup de Gras is, after 14 years, there is finally resolution to the “Who is Cartman’s Father?” story.  The two episodes were so controversial, South Park Studios wouldn’t stream them which we can probably chalk that up to Comedy Central.  This show encapsulates the macrocosm that is South Park.
