Cartman's Best Episodes Of All Time

If we're talking about Cartman's best episodes, then we need to go all the way back to the very beginning of "South Park." Looking back, pilot episode "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" is such a quaint little watch, especially compared to how the series feels over 25 years later. From the choppier animation to the rougher sounding voices, it's clear Matt Stone and Trey Parker were still getting their footing here.

Still, one thing the duo definitely had figured out from the jump was just how much of an annoying little turd Cartman can be. The episode begins with Cartman describing an alien encounter that he believes to be a dream, despite enough evidence to suggest that it actually happened. Even after Kenny is killed by said aliens, Cartman refuses to admit that his abduction actually happened, much to Stan and Kyle's frustration.

Eventually, Cartman is taken once again by the aliens. Upon returning, he claims that Scott Baio gave him pinkeye. It's admittedly very tame, but it still makes for a fun little episode and it serves as a nice intro to the four main boys. "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" sets the tone for the rest of the series, with Cartman quickly established as a fan favorite.
