Trey Parker and Matt Stone\u2019s South Park<\/em><\/a> has been one of the funniest animated shows on the air for over two decades. While the show was initially criticized for its crude humor, it has since proven itself to be a poignant vehicle for social commentary. Since the late \u201890s, whenever a big news story has broken \u2013 from the 9\/11 attacks to the COVID-19 pandemic \u2013 South Park<\/em> has been there with a sharp satirical take on it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Across more than 300 episodes, South Park<\/em> has delivered some truly iconic and groundbreaking half-hours. These are the best episodes of the show, according to their IMDb ratings.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Grounded Vindaloop (9.1)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In its opening moments, the premise of \u201cGrounded Vindaloop\u201d seems to revolve around Cartman convincing Butters that he\u2019s in virtual reality when he\u2019s actually in real life.<\/p>\n

Then, it becomes a mind-boggling head trip as Cartman learns that he<\/em>\u00a0is, in fact, in virtual reality. The episode is filled with references to trippy sci-fi movies like The Matrix<\/em> and Total Recall<\/em>.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>The Death Of Eric Cartman (9.1)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After Cartman eats all the skins on their KFC, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny decide to ignore him. The rest of South Park Elementary follows suit and Cartman is convinced that he died and his soul is trapped on Earth.<\/p>\n

Since Butters doesn\u2019t know everyone is ignoring Cartman, Cartman thinks he\u2019s the only living soul who can see him. So, they set about getting Cartman into Heaven.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Trapped In The Closet (9.1)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Church of Scientology was very unhappy with its portrayal in \u201cTrapped in the Closet,\u201d which reveals Stan to be the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard and boldly claims that the entire religion is a scam to bilk people out of their money.<\/p>\n

The episode closes with Stan daring the church to sue him in a reference to its history of litigiousness, then the end credits list all the cast and crew as either \u201cJohn Smith\u201d or \u201cJane Smith.\u201d<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Woodland Critter Christmas (9.1)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Initially set up as an adorable holiday yarn about a little boy helping out some forest critters, \u201cWoodland Critter Christmas\u201d takes an ominous turn when the critters start preparing for the birth of the Antichrist.<\/p>\n

One of South Park<\/em>\u2019s darkest episodes \u2013 and that\u2019s saying a lot \u2013 \u201cWoodland Critter Christmas\u201d delivers a doozy of a plot twist.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>AWESOM-O (9.2)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Cartman shows up at Butters\u2019 house in the guise of a robot in \u201cAWESOM-O.\u201d His plan is to enjoy the prank for a while before revealing the trick, but he stays in character when he finds out Butters has an embarrassing videotape of him that he\u2019ll show the whole class if Cartman ever tricks him again.<\/p>\n

AWESOM-O is mistaken for a robot designed to come up with movie ideas when Butters takes his \u201crobot\u201d on vacation to Hollywood. Every pitch he generates is for a high-concept Adam Sandler comedy.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Casa Bonita (9.2)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The lengths that Cartman will go to in order to get what he wants are hilariously explored in \u201cCasa Bonita.\u201d Kyle gives Cartman\u2019s invitation to the birthday party of a lifetime to Butters and tells him he can only come to the party if, for some reason, Butters can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

So, Cartman tricks Butters into thinking the town has been destroyed by an asteroid and locks him in a bomb shelter so he can go to Kyle\u2019s party.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Good Times With Weapons (9.2)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The season 8 premiere blends South Park<\/em>\u2019s signature cutout animation<\/a> with gorgeously rendered anime as the boys get a hold of some martial arts weapons and play ninjas with them.<\/p>\n

However, the episode takes a sinister turn when Kenny accidentally launches a throwing star into Butters\u2019 eye. They then try to fix it before their parents find out they were playing with deadly weapons.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Return Of The Fellowship Of The Ring To The Two Towers (9.4)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When Randy sends the boys to drop off a VHS copy of The Lord of the Rings<\/em> at Butters\u2019 house, he accidentally gives them a porno he rented instead. The boys\u2019 quest to return the video becomes a Fellowship-esque quest of its own as they\u2019re chased by their parents and tormented by bullies along the way.<\/p>\n

The episode\u2019s story is tightly structured, while the parallels with The Lord of the Rings<\/em> \u2013 like Butters becoming a Gollum figure after watching the porno \u2013 are hysterical.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Make Love, Not Warcraft (9.5)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Only South Park<\/em> could make an episode like \u201cMake Love, Not Warcraft\u201d work. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are true-to-life gamers<\/a>, so when they make an episode about gaming, it doesn\u2019t become the laughing stock of the gaming community like the nonsense spouted by characters from various other shows when they are\u00a0trying to reference the industry.<\/p>\n

Embraced by Warcraft<\/em> fanatics and strangers to the iconic MMORPG alike, \u201cMake Love, Not Warcraft\u201d is South Park<\/em> at its finest, with sharp storytelling and hilarious gags in spades.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Scott Tenorman Must Die (9.6)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It\u2019s hardly surprising that \u201cScott Tenorman Must Die\u201d is ranked by IMDb as the best South Park<\/em> episode, as it\u2019s been named such by a ton of different publications. This episode marked a turning point for South Park<\/em> as pure evil became Cartman\u2019s defining characteristic<\/a> and the show\u2019s comic sensibility became truly pitch-black.<\/p>\n

In the episode, Cartman is tricked by an older kid into buying some pubic hair, then proceeds to launch a harrowingly diabolical revenge scheme.<\/p>\n
