Eric Cartman committed his most evil act in Cartman has done a lot of terrible things in South Park, including keeping Butters in an underground bunker for weeks, but nothing compares to what he did in the episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die". He did a lot of terrible things in this episode, but the main one was having Scott Tenorman's parents killed and turned into chili that he served at a chili cooking competition.
Cartman only expected this act to give him revenge against Scott Tenorman. He did not expect it to have a long-term impact on his life. In the episode "201", it is revealed that Cartman's dad was Jack Tenorman. This means that Cartman had his own father killed and turned into chili. This had a lot of indirect implications on Cartman's life that have led to him still paying for this act.
The Episode “Scott Tenorman Must Die” Featured Cartman’s Most Evil Act
This Episode Proved That You Should Never Make An Enemy Of Eric Cartman
The episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die" saw Eric Cartman at war with ninth grader, Scott Tenorman. In the episode, Scott tricks Cartman into buying his pubic hair for $10, and he continues to trick him throughout the episode. By the end of the episode, Cartman had endured enough of Scott's tricks, so he committed his most evil revenge plan that's been shown on the show. Cartman has Scott's parents shot down and killed, before taking their bodies away and having them turned into chili and tricking Scott into eating them, leaving Scott Tenorman traumatized.
This is by far the most evil and disturbing thing Eric Cartman has ever done in South Park. It was this specific moment that taught the characters in the show not to cross Cartman, showing them the extent of what he was capable of. Although Cartman had always done some messed up things, this episode paved the way for him to become the comically ridiculous main villain of South Park that audiences love to watch.
Jack Tenorman Was Revealed To Be Cartman’s Dad
Cartman's Paternity Was Revealed In The Season 14 Episode "201"
Ten seasons after Cartman had Scott Tenorman's parents killed, the identity of Cartman's dad was finally revealed on the show. His dad was revealed to be none other than Jack Tenorman, Scott's dad that Cartman had killed in "Scott Tenorman Must Die". Although it would have been unlikely that Jack would have wanted a relationship with Cartman, it is still a kick in the teeth. The one thing Cartman has always wanted in his life is a father, and when he finally finds out who his dad is, he finds out that he killed him.
South Park ultimately decided to use Karma to take away the one thing Cartman has always wanted in his life.
Several years later, South Park was still making Cartman pay for his most evil act on the show. The season 14 episode "201" handled Cartman's paternity comically, even making Cartman believe his father to be a Chef at one point. South Park ultimately decided to use Karma to take away the one thing Cartman has always wanted in his life. This revelation meant that audiences couldn't even feel sorry for Cartman as he was the one responsible for this predicament. He'd have a father if he hadn't prioritized the evil acts of revenge.
Cartman Is Still Paying For His Evil Act 23 Years Later
Cartman And His Mom Were Living In A Diner
In the show's 25th season, Cartman and his mother had to temporarily move into a diner called DikinBaus Hot Dogs due to money troubles. This infuriated Cartman as it made him one of the poorest kids in school, and it affected his image of people. Although this is not directly linked to the murder of Mr and Mrs Tenorman, it should be argued that if Cartman hadn't killed Jack Tenorman, his mother would have been getting child from him. This means that Cartman and his mom wouldn't have had to leave their home and move into an abandoned diner.
