Taking a trip back down South Park’s most visited road, Memory Lane, we find ourselves in marvel and awe at just how freaking funny the ninth season of South Park truly was. This is why we also, at the same time, found it very difficult to select only six top clips from a season that had so many comedic offerings it was more like a Thanksgiving of comedy than anything else. Getting back on track here…we do present to you all our second in line of top six pick clips from this ninth season, the episode, “The Death of Eric Cartman.”

Butters Parents Will Never Get It
This episode greatly features Butter’s retarded parents, who are so conservative it makes right wingers look left handed. When they find out that their son is seeing ghosts, namely Eric Cartman who is actually alive and just thinks he is dead, they admit him to a crazy ward. The funniest part about this is that the doctors plug Butters up to a machine that rams him in the rear end with random and oddly shaped objects; talk about creating a complex in the poor boy’s head. But supposedly, this will make him all better again…right?

Why is Butters so Freaking Stupid?
The always on the mind question regarding the most gullible kid in the show, why is Butters so dumb? I think this episode portrays this quite perfectly, and they offer a little bit of answers here as well. His parents, duh! Look at the way the poor chap is raised by his father and mother, who backhandedly screw him up in the head in a million and one ways. They only have one answer for everything. Well two actually. You’re grounded, and Super-AIDS. So should it come as no surprise that their kid is so messed up and stupid? Not really. But it sure makes for great comedy!

Mr. Stotch Lectures Butters on Super-AIDS in Clip Below
What is the only thing in the world that the poor little Butters has to be worried about, according to his father Mr. Stotch? Two words with a dash that merges them: Super-AIDS. As Mr. Stotch explains to a ghost startled Butters that is hiding underneath the kitchen sink with a flashlight in his hand, hiding from what he thinks it the ghost of Eric Cartman, “Just one drop of Super-AIDS and you’re done for Butters.”
