What is the best episode of south park to introduce my dad to the series?

[Craig Dawson]

My dad says south park is all garbage humour and has no point yet he hasn't seen a single episode. As an avid viewer I know that this isn't true and want to prove to him that it is a relevant satire on our society as well as an excercise in freedom of speech. Which episode is the best to show that it has smart, razor sharp social commentary as well as relevance to people getting offended about silly things?

The one where cartman falls in love with a waitress at restaurant called raisins. She acts like she likes him because he tips her.its kinda like hooters. He flips her and real boyfriend off at the end. Hilarious

the jennifier lopez one, where cartman draws a face on his hand and it gets a record deal
the one where butters has to go to a gay camp
the biggest douche in the universe, the one where stan tries to prove to every one that john edward is not a real pysic
the return of the two towers

If you are looking for one with social commentary, go with the episode "Butt Out". It is about the hypocrisy of celebrities trying to tell the non rich how to live their lives. In this case, celebrity Rob Reiner tries to banish smoking in South Park.

It really depends on what sort of humor your dad is really into like if he likes all the gross stuff or not. I think a good episode to start your dad is the red badge of gayness or maybe the loosing edge, they aren't dirty but still funny although looking more towards sharp social commentary I would say more like whale whores or im a little bit country although no matter what episode you watch I think there will be silly things since it is a comedy show.
