If you were a middle schooler in the late 90s or early 2000s, it was hard to walk down a hall without hearing "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" at least once a day.

When South Park premiered on Comedy Central in the summer of 1997, it not only put the then fledgling cable network on the map, but soon became a phenomenon for it's crude humor, and biting satire.

Be it Tom Cruise and the church of Scientology, Barbra Streisand, or then entire country of Canada, no one was safe from creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's ridicule.

And every time viewer's thought "Oh, they won't possibly go there", you can be sure they did.

Leaving viewers shocked, amazed, and falling off their chairs laughing.


Redditor SamCharles25 recently reached out to South Park's vast fanbase by inquiring what their favorite episodes were, by asking:
