South Park: Season 1 - Episode 6 ''Death''



At his grandfather's 102nd birthday, Stan is faced with a moral dilemma -- Grandpa's sole birthday wish is for Stan to be the assist in his assisted suicide. Mrs. Broflovski has organized a protest against the boys' favorite TV show, "Terrance and Phillip," and the South Park parents have left the kids on their own to follow Kyle's mom to the network headquarters in the big city

The Marsh family celebrates Grandpa Marvin Marsh's 102nd birthday, but he is tired of living and tries unsuccessfully to commit suicide. He tries to convince Stan to kill him, but Stan refuses because he fears he might get in trouble. Meanwhile, Kyle watches the cartoon Terrance and Phillip, which revolves largely around fart jokes. Kyle's mother Sheila gets outraged by the foul language and crude humor, and contacts other South Park parents to organize a boycott at the Cartoon Central headquarters in New York City. Later at school, Stan asks adults Mr. Garrison, Chef and Jesus whether he should help his grandpa kill himself, but they avoid discussing the issue, much to Stan's anger.
Meanwhile, Kenny suffers from a bout of "explosive diarrhea", which spreads to others in the town, including the adults protesting Terrance and Phillip. Despite objecting to the show, the adults laugh at the real-life toilet humor. Carol proclaims that if Cartoon Central does not take the show off the air, the protesters will kill themselves, and they start slingshotting themselves into the building. With the adults out of town for the protest, the boys are free to watch Terrance and Phillip at their leisure. Grandpa Marvin continues asking Stan to kill him, and demonstrates how terrible his life is by locking Stan in a room and forcing him to listen to Enya music. The boys finally agree to kill Grandpa Marsh, and try to do so by rigging a cow on a pulley and dropping it on him. Just as they are about to do it, Death himself arrives, but starts chasing after the boys instead of Grandpa Marvin.
While fleeing, Stan calls his mother, who is too busy protesting Terrance and Phillip to listen to his problems. More than a dozen people have killed themselves against the headquarters building. Eventually, the network agrees to take the show off the air (ends up getting back on the air later on), not because of the deaths but because of the stench of the protesters' explosive diarrhea. Meanwhile, Death continues chasing the boys, but stops in front of a television playing Terrance and Phillip. Death and the boys start laughing together, but after it is taken off the air, Death angrily touches and kills Kenny. When Grandpa Marvin asks why Kenny died instead of him, the spirit of Stan's great great grandfather (Marvin's grandfather) appears. The spirit, who was killed by Marvin when he was Stan's age, warns Marvin that he must die of natural causes and not place the burden of his suicide on anybody else's shoulders. Grandpa Marvin instead decides to visit Africa, where over 400 people are "naturally" eaten by lions every year. The episode ends with the boys laughing, and then laughing harder when Kyle farts.
