Mystery of the Urinal Deuce (Season 10, Episode 09) The Hardly Boys “skits” are some of the best in South Park history, and for that alone this episode deserves top status.

HumancentiPad (Season 15, Episode 01) This episode hits the nail on the head of consumerism in the tech world in that way South Park has of unwittingly becoming social satire.
