With a focus on Eric Cartman again, this episode gets to be another hilarious display in the 'South Park" series. After getting excluded from the guest list of Kyle's birthday party at "Casa Bonita", one of his favorite Mexican restaurants, he devises a way to also have a guest removed and this time it's the Butters.

He takes on a simple plan which earned him a spot on the list. Cartman tricks Butters out of town to convince them that he has gone missing. This way, he replaces him at the party and also gets a free meal from the Mexican restaurant he likes. After all, that was the whole idea behind his plots.

5. AWESOM -O (Season 8, Episode 5)

This is another episode that has gotten fans glued to their screens as Cartman shows up again. This time, he takes on a new identity as a robot named “AWESOM-O 4000” in other to trick Butters again.

This time, not for a spot on a guest list but rather to earn his trust and know his secrets. And like always, Cartman has a reason for every action he takes, and this time, it was to humiliate him at school. Sadly, things didn't go as he had envisioned.

6. Good Times With Weapons (Season 8, Episode 1)

It's no surprise that this episode made the list of South Park's best episodes thanks to the introduction of Japanese action/sci-fi animation which was on the rise in the early 2000s.

This time, the boys pick up a new project of creating a war with ninja weapons after watching some violent movies. They would then go on to purchase East Asian martial arts weapons as they get started.

While playing with their new devices, they imagine themselves as great warriors and the switch from the usual cutout-and-solid color style to a highly stylized anime theme makes the scenes stand out.

7. Woodland Critter Christmas (Season 8, Episode 14)

It's Christmas again in "South Park" and this remains the best holiday-themed episode in the series. From becoming friends with the critters in the woods to joining in Christmas preparation, Stan becomes the center of this episode.

After making new friends in the woods, he later found out that their preparation did not suggest Christmas but a plan to kill a mountain lion that intends to kill their lord and savior once he's born.

Stan later found out that the critters were the evil ones after crossing paths with the orphaned baby lions.

8. Trapped in the Closet (Season 9, Episode 12)

You may be clued to this episode if you believe in reincarnation. Here, Stan displays an impressive tan level that would get some Scientologist thinking he is the reincarnation of L. Rod Hubbard and converge at his house. This left him questioning if Scientology was a religion or something higher than that.

Stan would later take on a free personality test that showed he was depressed and took a self-help program.

9. Grounded Vindaloop (Season 18, Episode 7)

Here's another episode you should watch repeatedly as it is a blend of everything comedy. Eric Cartman continues to trick Butters, his favorite victim. It's just unfortunate that Butters keeps failing to see it coming.

This time, he is tricked into believing that he is in a Virtual Reality setting of his school as he walks around wearing goggles and headphones. Meanwhile, Cartman is playing a joke on him and communicates with a walkie-talkie.

Under the conviction that he is in a Virtual Reality setting, Butters goes home and punches his father Stephen in the genitals as payback for being grounded, he steals a car in the style of Grand Theft Auto and tries to assault a prostitute but gets stabbed.

10. Christian Rock Hard (Season 7, Episode 9)

This episode captures Cartman again but why not? He continues to leave viewers inquisitive about his next move. Unfortunately, this time, it's the boys against him. This episode also evolves around religious satires and musical bouts giving the series a beautiful blend of scenes.

The boys form a band called Moop but greatly disagree on what direction their music should take as they prefer different music. It becomes heated when Cartman suggests Christian Rock but Kyle calls it a terrible idea. Being someone who hates to fail, he leaves the band to start a Christian rock band called “Faith + 1”. He also bets with Kyle that his band will first go Platinum by selling one million records.

The episode gets more interesting as Cartman gets the band started with Butters Stoch and Token Black.
