Before he walks off into the sunset, Kyle yells, “ Disintegration is the best album ever!” Meanwhile, the same episode portraying The Cure frontman Robert Smith (he provided his own voice for the episode) as a superhero, capable of defeating evil without losing his dejected coolness. South Park has skewered its fair share of musical artists, but it’s hard to imagine anyone getting it worse than Barbra Streisand, who literally tortures the boys with her singing voice before morphing into a robotic “Mecha-Streisand” that destroys South Park. Even those who don’t appreciate alternative rock must have enjoyed Thom Yorke exclaiming, “This poor kid has cancer! In his a–!” Season five highlight “Scott Tenorman Must Die” may be best remembered for its hilariously disturbing final scene, but the episode also featured a rare TV cameo by Radiohead themselves, who stop by Colorado after receiving some fan mail from Cartman.

To celebrate 25 years and counting of genius (and, well crudely genius) intersections with our world, Billboard picked out some of the show’s most memorable moments involving musicians, from gay fish denier Kanye West to Jennifer Lopez as a hand puppet to Justin Bieber as “the enemy.”Īnd though we’re sticking purely to the Comedy Central episodes in this list, we do want to acknowledge that the show has spawned a feature-length film and more made-for-TV movies in recent years for Paramount+. In the show’s quarter century, it’s delivered parodies of musicians, from the uncomfortable (Britney Spears quite literally losing her head) to the hilarious (Randy Marsh is Lorde?!?!), with some artists even lending their voices to join in the fun (Robert Smith of The Cure battled on Mecha-Streisand). 8 on Comedy Central, the two masterminds are unlikely to stop.
