Scott Tenorman Must Die

"Scott Tenorman Must Die" is the third episode of the fifth season of the American animated television series South Park, and the 69th episode of the series overall. It first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on July 11, 2001. In the episode, high schooler Scott Tenorman makes Eric Cartman believe that buying pubic hair from him will make Cartman reach puberty. Realizing that he had been tricked, an angry Cartman plots revenge on Scott.

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone point to this episode as a milestone in the series. The episode introduced significant changes in the characterization of Cartman, setting the standard for his psychopathic antics in the following seasons; it also prompted the creators to only focus on one plot within an episode, whereas the show's earlier episodes involved several loosely related subplots that merged together in the episode's final act. "Scott Tenorman Must Die" was written by Parker, and directed by animation director Eric Stough. The English rock band Radiohead guest star in the episode as themselves.

"Scott Tenorman Must Die" received widespread acclaim upon release, and it is often considered by critics to be one of the best South Park episodes, as well as one of the greatest sitcom episodes of all time.
