South Park: Scott Tenorman Must Die (2001)
Season 5, Episode 4
The Greatest Comedy Build Up Of All Time
12 July 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I recently showed Scott Tenorman Must Die to my brother. About halfway through the episode, he said, "This isn't that funny." I told him to wait it out. Because seriously, you have to watch the whole episode. The climax is worth it. This is good comedy with actual payoff, unlike a ton of poorly executed slapstick like you might find in an Adam Sandler film.

The episode starts with Cartman showing off his new "pubes" to his friends . He says that he bought them from a boy named Scott Tenorman. His friends explain to him that Scott Tenorman ripped him off. They say that you have to grow your own "pubes" not buy them.

Outraged, Cartman tries to return the pubes, but Scott refuses to return them. After trying to get his money back in several ways without success, Cartman makes a plan to have a pony bite Scott's wiener off in front of Scott's favorite band, Radiohead.

Stan and Kyle call Scott to tell him of Cartman's plan. Then, Cartman comes to Scott's door and invites him to a chili cook-off, giving Scott a ticket for one free pony ride. Scott then tells his parents that the pony Cartman is going to use is being starved to death, and that he has too much homework and can't save it. Scott's parents go to save the pony.

So, the next day, Scott goes to the Chili cook-off thinking he's won. And, well, if I tell you the climax right now it'll be underwhelming. You just have to watch the episode.
