South Park's holiday episodes are some of the best-known in the show's history. "Woodland Critter Christmas" (Season 8, Episode 14) Some of the kids are villains, others are troublemakers, and others are just trying to get by in a crazy world-just like the other kids in the South Park universe. Instead of "punching down" at less powerful people, the South Park writers brilliantly use an unlikely setting-a summer camp for disabled children-as a chance to poke fun at many of society's misconceptions about disability and power. "Crippled Summer" deserves a spot on the best-of list because of Parker's and Stone's deft handling of a potentially sensitive topic. Extra points to this episode for some hilarious takes on Edgar Allen Poe and really, really bad emo-kid poetry. "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" sees the dark-clad cast of characters that comprise South Park's "goth" world in an all-out brawl with "emo" and "vampire" kids. The "Goth Kids" series of episodes does just that, skewering the emo and goth cultures that were especially popular among kids and teens during the '90s and early-to-mid 2000s. Many of the best South Park episodes of all time delve into the intricacies of youth culture. "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers" (Season 17, Episode 4) Memorable moments include Cartman's turn as "Marjorine's mom" and Butters' parents' attempts to resurrect their son using a nearby Indian burial ground. In "Marjorine," Butters is pushed (as usual) by his ragtag group of friends into faking his own death and dressing up as a girl to infiltrate the girls' sleepover. Quirky, manic Butters Stotch, with his strict parents and naive worldview, has become a fan favorite over the years. Some of the best South Park episodes are centered around side characters. In season 19's "Tweek x Craig," however, the pair makes a very different kind of connection, developing a romantic relationship.
Craig" is a great example, as it launched a fight between the two. The rivalry between side characters Tweek and Craig in the third season's "Tweek vs. South Park's long run has allowed the shows' creators to develop long-running jokes, familiar themes, and narrative arcs that involve long-term character development.
