South Park

By JoshPetersel in Things Josh Likes 4 Comments

I like South Park. It’s one of the few things I make an effort to watch on air. That list is probably comprised of South Park and football.

Kevin recently decided he’d like to get more into the show. But a sprawling episode list over 200 items long can be pretty daunting. As a starting point, I narrowed down a list for him of 40 of my favorites, which I figured I ought to share with you guys in blogopedia as well. They’re in chronological order, with “S01,” “S03” etc. as bookmarks to help you navigate.

[Suppose it’s worth pointing out, by the way, that South Park uses a lot of very crass humor and isn’t intended for children or the office. But you probably already knew that.]

  1. S01: Cartman gets an anal probe
  2. S03: Sexual Harassment Panda
  3. Chinpokomon
  4. Starvin Mavin in Space
  5. World Wide Recorder Concert
  6. S04: 4th Grade
  7. S05: It Hits the Fan
  8. Scott Tenorman Must Die
  9. How to Eat with Your Butt
  10. Butters’ Very Own Episode
  11. S06: Jared Has Aides
  12. Simpsons Did It
  13. Bebe’s Boobs Destroy Society
  14. A Ladder to Heaven
  15. The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers
  16. S07: Krazy Kripples
  17. S08: Good Times With Weapons
  18. Up the Down Steroid
  19. Awesom-O
  20. Douche and Turd
  21. Quest for Ratings
  22. Woodland Critter Christmas
  23. S09: Mr. Garrison’s Fancy New Vagina
  24. The Losing Edge
  25. S10: Smug Alert

  28. Go God Go
  29. Go God Go XII
  30. Stanley’s Cup
  31. S11: Guitar Queer-O
  32. S12: Over Logging
  33. S13: The Coon
  34. Fishsticks
  35. Butters’ Bottom Bitch
  36. W.T.F.
  37. S14: Medicinal Fried Chicken
  38. You have 0 Friends
  39. Insheeption
  40. Crème Fraiche

All episodes (except 201, which isn’t on the list but otherwise would be) are available for free streaming at www.southparkstudios.com , and I think Netflix has ’em, too.

Of course, the most important questions: Did I miss any vital episodes? Did I blow it and mention a few crappy ones? Which ones are the best five? Etc.

  1. Kevin – you must watch “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson”…the first 3 minutes is literally the pinnacle of television in the history of America

  2. These are great. I think the one Craig mentioned is a MUST. I would add to the list (probably as second tier)just for the sake of better understanding South Park fans, the following notes (bear with me, this my get lengthy):

    1) If you ever plan to watch the South Park movie you should definitely watch “Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boatride” first.

    2) If you love Cartman, you definitely have to watch “Chickenlover” (S02) and learn to respect the authoritah.

    3) For some solid fun at the expense of gingers everywhere you should accompany “Scott Tenorman Must Die” with “Ginger Kids” (S09) and end with “200” and “201” (both S14)

    Other than that here are a list of honorable mentions:
    -S04 Cartman joins NAMBLA (fun fact: I was unaware NAMBLA was a real thing until many years after seeing this episode).
    -S05 Towelie
    -S07 All About Mormons
    S07 Red Man’s Greed
    S08 The Jefferson
    -S08 Goobacks
    S09 Trapped in the Closet (Episode Isaac Hayes quit over)

    If you’ve watched all of these and what’s on Josh’s list and get bored, there are clearly more recommendations but this is what I could pare down the list to include for now.
