South Park: Cock Magic (2014)
Classic Misdirection + Randy = Awesome
With a title like "Cock Magic," most viewers are going to be coming into the episode wondering exactly how the premise is going to interpreted. Parker and Stone perfectly play off of those expectations, pacing the reveals to keep the audience guessing as one ridiculous thing after another happens. Randy's sub-plot is just icing on the cake.
There may not be a deep message or much social commentary--at least on the surface--going on, but in a season where such episodes (e.g. The Magic Bush, Grounded Vindaloop, #HappyHolograms) have frequently fallen flat, a return to South Park's iconic ludicrous antics feels like a breath of fresh air. As someone who was disappointed with many of the episodes leading up to this one, I found it to be a real return to form for the show and one of the funniest episodes ever.
