00:00 Oh my God! Oh my God!
00:02 Welcome to WatchMojo!
00:04 And today we're counting down our picks for the most insane scenes and moments in South Park's history.
00:10 Some of these contain major plot points, so a spoiler warning is in effect.
00:15 Okay, well, looks like you're gonna get a lot of help here.
00:17 Category is "People Who Annoy You".
00:20 Number 10. Cartman's Fate.
00:24 You know, in the Torah, when Abraham first heard the word of God...
00:28 Just knock it off! You don't believe a word of that shit! You're just doing all this to get a rise out of me!
00:32 Kyle, you really think I would spend 40 years of my life just to get a rise out of you?
00:37 Yes, I do!
00:38 With the exception of Cartman in the "My Future Self and Me" episode,
00:42 we had never seen what the future might hold for our favorite gang of fourth graders.
00:47 Whatever, I'll do what I want!
00:48 No, wait!
00:49 Oh, God damn it!
00:53 That is until we got two one-hour-long specials featuring the after-effects of COVID-19 on the town.
01:00 Although there were a few surprises,
01:02 Cartman's future as a Jewish dad was something no one ever saw coming.
01:06 I'm actually the head of Gespenstha Synagogue down in Colorado Springs.
01:09 Can you believe it? I'm a rabbi!
01:11 But even more than that, after the boys change events in our present time,
01:16 we see how Cartman really turned out.
01:18 He becomes an angry, unhoused man, shouting obscenities at anyone who passes by.
01:24 While surprising nonetheless,
01:26 it is somewhat sad seeing his deeds catch up to him considering he's a fan favorite.
01:31 Hey, come on, fellas!
01:33 We can't spend another holiday feeling bad for Eric.
01:35 There's nothing that could have changed the path he was on.
01:38 Number 9.
01:39 The South Park Flag
01:41 South Park has never been afraid of controversy,
01:43 and season four's "Chef Goes Nanners" is evidence of that.
01:47 The episode centered the show's own take on the uproar around the Confederate flag.
01:52 Mayor, as I've said before, I find that flag to be racist and insensitive.
01:56 The town's own flag is clearly a racist depiction of people of color,
02:00 which Chef adamantly insists be changed.
02:04 That alone is bad enough,
02:06 but hearing Jimbo and others defend the flag in the name of history is even more shocking.
02:11 This has been the South Park flag since some of our ancestors,
02:14 like my great-grandfather, founded this land.
02:16 There's never a good time to defend racism, so it's pretty unsettling to see it here.
02:21 What's perhaps just as outrageous is the final solution to the issue.
02:26 I have to admit it, that is a lot nice.
02:28 Number 8.
02:29 Britney Spears Reaches Her Breaking Point
02:32 There was a time when you couldn't turn on a television or click on a news website
02:36 without spotting some piece of news about Britney Spears.
02:39 It's Britney Watch, keeping you up to date with all your Britney Spears news.
02:45 Oh boy, what's she done now?
02:47 South Park took Spears' story and found a more compassionate way to illustrate
02:51 the pressures someone like her was under.
02:53 How they went about it, however, was far more ghastly.
02:57 I can't take it anymore!
02:59 When she's just about had enough of the overbearing attention,
03:02 she attempts to take her own life.
03:04 Although she survives, it only gets worse from there.
03:07 In the aftermath, no one seems to care about her mental health and instead
03:10 continuously mock her new look and terrible post-tragedy performance skills.
03:15 Excuse me, is this really what you think she should be doing right now?
03:18 Both the gunshot and subsequent fallout are so unsettling,
03:22 it's hard not to feel sympathy for Spears.
03:24 Number 7.
03:34 ManBearPig's Dinner Buffet
03:36 That's it!
03:37 That's what I saw!
03:40 I saw a ManBearPig.
03:41 With everything that goes on in this town, it should come as no surprise that a half-man,
03:46 half-bear, half-pig, yeah, we know, but let's move on,
03:49 creature would choose the town of South Park to go on a rampage.
03:53 Setting aside the fact that ManBearPig is the show's metaphor for climate change,
03:57 the veracity of this character had yet to really be seen until season 22.
04:02 There's definitely evidence that all the death and destruction around us is due to a ManBearPig.
04:07 But no exact correlation to a ManBearPig!
04:09 Definitely not, and that's why we're all here to try to pinpoint.
04:12 When should I start to worry?
04:14 As a family of three debates the authenticity of MBP while eating at Red Lobster,
04:18 the creature smashes into the restaurant and goes on a tear.
04:22 We're not sure which is more shocking, people literally being torn from limb to limb,
04:27 or the father's insistence that MBP is nothing to worry about.
04:31 Number 6.
04:33 Paris Hilton's Fate
04:34 Let me out of here!
04:36 Now, here's one for you.
04:38 Paris Hilton comes to town and finds herself in a questionable contest with Mr. Slave.
04:43 Hilton's perceived reputation precedes her,
04:45 and all the girls in town are sure Hilton has got Garrison's boyfriend beat.
04:49 And what can only be described as the most inappropriate competition ever,
04:57 Paris appears to have the lead as Mr. Slave just sits off to the side.
05:01 It's not until the very end we find ourselves with mouths agape,
05:05 and in complete and utter disbelief of what we've just witnessed.
05:09 We still can't believe what we just saw,
05:11 only to be greeted by a familiar face shortly afterwards.
05:14 Paris, you must find your way out of this place or you will surely die.
05:18 What?
05:20 Number 5.
05:21 Garrison's Way Too Detailed Surgery
05:23 Alright, then let's begin.
05:25 After finally coming out as gay, Garrison decided to undergo gender-affirming surgery.
05:31 Instead of playing it safe and giving audiences a mere glimpse at the before and after,
05:36 South Park opted to go in a different direction.
05:39 What we get is a literal play-by-play of the surgery,
05:42 including live-action clips of an actual operation.
05:44 The sheer contrast of the doctor's somewhat calm attitude and the raw nature of the footage
05:49 gives even the strongest stomach a bit of a tug.
05:52 After viewers were treated to such a graphic scene,
05:55 everything else that followed in the episode seemed so mild in comparison.
05:59 Come on, Kyle, we should get going.
06:01 Alright, Dad!
06:01 Dude, is Kyle's dad a dolphin?
06:07 Number 4.
06:08 Steve Irwin's Afterlife
06:10 Hey, Satan, you got a little problem.
06:12 What?
06:13 The folks at South Park decided to feature the notable wildlife enthusiast
06:16 in an episode about Satan's Halloween party.
06:19 At the festivities, we see plenty of known and unknown individuals dressed in various costumes.
06:24 When one party-goer complains about another guest and their costume,
06:28 we shake our heads in shock at who the guest is.
06:30 That's right, we see Irwin depicted with a stingray through his chest,
06:34 as Satan asks him to leave because his costume is too offensive
06:38 since Irwin just died a few weeks prior.
06:40 I mean, he just died a few weeks ago and it's just not super cool.
06:44 You gotta leave.
06:45 What's worse is Satan's reaction after he finds out that it's actually Steve Irwin.
06:50 Oh.
06:50 Oh, but then, dude, no costume.
06:53 Even for the most devout fans of the show, this was a moment full of cringe.
06:57 #3. Randy's Wheel of Fortune Appearance
07:01 I can't believe you said the N-word on national television.
07:06 What?
07:06 Well, what was I supposed to do, Sharon?
07:09 I thought I was gonna make $30,000.
07:11 Randy has made it to Wheel of Fortune's bonus round and is one word away from winning it all.
07:17 When the board spells out the letters from the word "Naggers" with an A missing,
07:21 anyone watching the show wondered exactly what he, and therefore the show itself, would actually say.
07:27 Well, I know it, but I don't think I should say it.
07:30 And as audiences collectively held their breath, Randy did what Randy does
07:35 and not only guessed the wrong word, but the word any Caucasian should never say.
07:40 Just like the host, Stan's family and the studio audience were left dumbfounded.
07:45 Oh.
07:45 Ooh.
07:47 Oh, naggers, of course.
07:50 #2. Scott Tenorman's Chili
07:52 Do you like it, Scott?
07:53 I call it Mr. and Mrs. Tenorman Chili.
07:57 Come on, did you really think we weren't going to include this one?
08:01 Having appeared on several of our other lists, the famous South Park chili incident has lived
08:06 on in infamy since it aired all the way back in 2001.
08:10 If you're one of the few who don't know the story, here's the abridged version.
08:14 A kid named Scott Tenorman tricked Cartman one too many times.
08:18 Seeking out the ultimate revenge, Cartman uses the remains of Scott's parents and a special chili
08:23 that he then feeds to the young redhead.
08:25 #Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya, I made you eat your parents.
08:28 The moment we learned Cartman had orchestrated their death and their inclusion in Scott's dinner,
08:33 we all knew this big-boned boy was never to be messed with.

09:01 #1. Not-So-Cuddly Critters
09:07 Watch any stop-motion or animated story around Christmas time and there's no lack of cute
09:11 talking animals to melt your hearts.
09:13 #1. Not-So-Cuddly Critters
09:25 So when South Park delivered its own version of one of these stories,
09:28 we wondered how long it would go before the jig was up. Sure enough, eight minutes in and after
09:33 Stan has saved the critters from their worst enemy, they reveal their true intentions.
09:37 "Now our Critter Christmas can finally happen! Hail Satan!"
09:41 "Hail Satan!"
09:43 "Wait, what?"
09:44 But wait, there's more. Satanimals alone weren't enough. They sacrifice one of their own in a very
09:50 bloody ceremony that turns into an… or, well, just say a big satanic celebration.
09:56 "Yay, sacrifice me to the devil!"
09:57 "Yay, yay!"
09:58 Stan's look of pure disbelief likely mirrored every person who watched this episode for the
10:03 first time. What scene surprised you the most from South Park's catalogue?
10:07 Chalk us down in the comments below.
10:09 "That didn't sound serial at all."
