Before MrBeast, There Was Kenny McCormick Doing Dares for Dollars
This is an absolute riot of an episode that perfectly demonstrates the power of a killer B-plot.
While the main story features a great look at Cartman’s weight loss struggles and brings back our favorite hyper-strict, saggy-boobed teacher, Ms. Choksondik, it’s Kenny’s wild ride into the world of early 2000s shock TV that completely elevates this into a top-class outing.
Watching Kenny morph into a massive reality TV star by doing the most disgusting, dare-based stunts imaginable for quick cash is pure comedic gold. The satire on the era’s gross-out entertainment craze hits with laser precision, driving the momentum forward at breakneck speed.
8/10: fantastic, fully anchored by Kenny’s hilariously unhinged rise and fall.
