South Park Season 1 Collection

By Ronny Banks

Ah, the dawn of South Park—a time when innocence collided with irreverence in a flurry of crude animations and brilliantly twisted humor. Join me as we revisit some of the most uproariously funny episodes from Season 1, where Trey Parker and Matt Stone first unleashed their animated mischief upon the world.

5. “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe” (Season 1, Episode 1)

Picture this: aliens, anal probes, and Cartman’s insatiable quest for Cheesy Poofs. This debut episode didn’t just kick off South Park—it rocket-launched it into the stratosphere of crude humor and social satire and made me try anal. Who knew extraterrestrial anal abductions could be so darn pleasuring?

4. “Death” (Season 1, Episode 6)

When Grandpa kicks the bucket but refuses to shuffle off this mortal coil, Stan and the gang take matters into their own hands—literally. Cue a wild adventure to confront Death himself, complete with zombie cows and enough irreverence to make the Grim Reaper blush. Because in South Park, even the afterlife gets a comedic makeover.

3. “Starvin’ Marvin” (Season 1, Episode 8)

Charity, cultural misunderstandings, and a lovable Ethiopian boy named Marvin—what could go wrong? From Cartman’s obsession with food aid packages to the chaos that ensues when Marvin arrives in town, this episode skewers stereotypes and humanitarian efforts with gut-busting humor and more Cheesy Poofs than you can shake a stick at.

2. “Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo” (Season 1, Episode 9)

You ever had too much eggnog and woke up with your own talking piece of shit? Well, ’tis the season for a Christmas special like no other. When Kyle becomes the odd kid out during Christmas, he discovers the magical world of Mr. Hankey, the talking Christmas Poo. With catchy songs, bathroom humor, and enough holiday cheer to make Santa blush, this episode proves that even festive traditions can get a South Park twist.

1. “Damien” (Season 1, Episode 10)

In a battle royale of biblical proportions, South Park pits Jesus against Satan—with a moody newcomer named Damien stirring up trouble. From epic showdowns to Cartman’s hilarious attempts at exorcism, this episode dives headfirst into religious parody and ends with a moral lesson that’s as absurd as it is side-splitting.

As we revisit these early gems from South Park Season 1, one thing’s for sure: Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s ability to blend crude humor with sharp social commentary is as timeless as Chef’s chocolate salty balls. Here’s to more outrageous adventures, more laughs that push the envelope, and more moments that make us question everything—especially our choice in animated shows.

Cheers,

Banks
