After all, the brunt of the humor seemed to be about how much power this little brat held over Eric Cartman. ![]() ![]() He puts his mother (and more significantly, his father) through hell here, and it’s a disturbing yang to the rest of the episode’s upsetting yin.ĭespite the title promising bad mojo coming Scott’s way, few actually believed that “Scott Tenorman Must Die” would end with anyone’s death (save for Kenny’s). If all of the pedophilia wasn’t enough, Kenny’s B-story sees him repeatedly try to ensure that his mother miscarries her child so he doesn’t become the second child. ![]() The centerpiece is essentially an attempted rape sequence where a horde of naked pedophiles chase our heroes as the entire thing transforms into an ode to slapstick. This whole episode is a twisted wormhole into the uncomfortable as the rest of the children in South Park naturally get jealous of Cartman and try to get their own older friends from NAMBLA, too. It’s a real glimpse into a group of actual crazies, which is something South Park would get increasingly good at. What’s just as messed up here is not necessarily these men’s preoccupation with wanting to have sex with little boys, but the other aspects that NAMBLA is invested in with them, such as ballroom dancing, and enjoying a four-course meal. ![]() Like a lot of great South Park episodes, the beauty here isn’t in embellishing NAMBLA at all (which is a real thing), but they can do the most damage just by plainly presenting the facts of this nutso organization.
