Scott Tenorman Must Die is the perfect way to start South Park
When asked via Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/southpark/comments/o8kljw/comment/h35rg0f/) which "South Park" episode first-timers should check out, one user wrote (https://www.reddit.com/r/southpark/comments/o8kljw/comment/h35rg0f/), "Scott Tenorman Must Die." But they weren't the only fan that harbored that thought. TheTattyKing (https://www.reddit.com/r/southpark/comments/1q6xk9/comment/cd9trtk/) similarly posted, "I recommend starting from Season 5... Plus, that means you'd start with 'Scott Tenorman Must Die,' which is widely regarded as one of the best episodes."
In Season 5, Episode 4, Eric Cartman (Trey Parker) gets conned by ninth-grader Scott Tenorman (Toby Morton) and decides to get even by making the kid eat his own parents, which results in one of the most pause-worthy "South Park" moments (https://www.looper.com/988209/south-parks-most-pause-worthy-moments/) ever unleashed. There is no denying that the particularly astonishing episode is a solid choice to start and will likely reveal exactly how far "South Park" will go to newcomers.
Rolling Stone (https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-lists/the-25-greatest-south-park-moments-updated-129767/cartman-feeds-scott-tenormans-parents-to-him-season-5-episode-4-129834/) called it "the perfect high-low amalgamation of the show's ability to be both shocking and brilliant at the same time." Some go even further, like The AV Club (https://www.avclub.com/the-best-sitcom-episodes-of-the-last-25-years-part-1-1798275862), which called it one of the best sitcom episodes ever. Not only has the episode received significant amounts of critical acclaim, but it also is the highest-rated entry from the series on IMDb as part of what many consider to be one of the best seasons of "South Park."

If there is one episode that will set expectations for newcomers, it might as well be one of the absolute best — which "Scott Tenorman Must Die" is undoubtedly among.
