As I said in a previous article, South Park has quite a few excellent episodes. It would take a while to identify all of them, but I can at least showcase twenty of them (the first ten are in a previous article). Here are another ten excellent South Park episodes.
1. Pandemic series- This series from Season 12 isn't one of the most memorable series, but it sure is a good one. In this series, an unspeakable horror is unleashed and it is up to our heroes to stop it. One of the best parts of this series is Randy's attempt to document the footage, something that just leads to some funny moments. Another interesting part of the show: it features Craig, someone who we don't see a lot. He's not interesting enough to be a main character, but he is a good supporting character.
2. "Breast Cancer Show Ever"- The episode before the Pandemic series, "Breast Cancer Show Ever" is about well, breast cancer. More specifically, it's a spoof on how breast cancer is perceived by the public. In the episode, Wendy tries to raise awareness for breast cancer but is mocked by Cartman. The fight that ensues is one of the most memorable in South Park history.
3. "Cartmanland"- This Season 5 episode is very underrated and almost never shows up on best episode lists. It's not an amazing episode but it's an entertaining watch. In the episode, Cartman inherits a million dollars and uses it to buy a failing amusement part. Kyle, shocked by Cartman's good fortune, begins to question his faith in God. His spiritual battle may not be extremely entertaining but it's an interesting watch.
4. "Fatbeard"- Ike is one of the best supporting characters in the show. His baby talk and adorable actions make for some good comic relief. One of his best episodes is "Fatbeard", a Season 13 episode in which Cartman leads a group of kids to Somalia so that they can become pirates. The mix-up that ensues proves to be highly entertaining.
5. "Pinewood Derby"- I just said that Ike was one of the best supporting characters, but the best one is Randy Marsh. He's an intelligent and educated man but yet incredibly stupid and blind. It makes for a very interesting combination. In this episode, Randy cheats to help Stan win the Pinewood Derby. What ensues is a very intrinsic plot that is among the best of Season 12.
6. "W.T.F."- WWE is not real wrestling. That may be hard for some people to understand but it's true. It makes for an interesting topic in this episode. The boys develop their own backyard wrestling league which develops a nice fan following. This episode is creative, funny, and insightful, making it a good watch.
7. "Margaritaville"- This Emmy-nominated episode is also in Season 12. South Park has a lot of political satires but this is one of their few economic satires. This particular episode focuses on the miserable state of the U.S. economy. Once again, Randy Marsh steaks the spotlight.
8. "Hell on Earth 2006"- This Season 10 episode isn't one that stands out but is still a noteworthy one. In it, Satan throws a Halloween party that he wants to be legendary. He enlists the help of murderers such as John Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer. The best part of the episode: the interaction between Biggie Small and Butters.
9. "The Losing Edge"- Little League is a big part of a lot of kids in America. But for the kids in South Park, it's a total drag and waste of their summer. So imagine their disappointment when they make it to the state championship. It soon becomes a matter of which team wants to lose more.
10. "Free Willzyx"- Sometimes, all the boys want to do is help someone/something out. That's what they set out to do in "Free Willzyx" but the whole mission is a little off from the start. Though the episode has a very somber end, it's still a good watch.
