Can Shakespeare compete with South Park on the sick and twisted scale? Well, Season 5 Episode 1: Scott Tenorman Must Die is an excellent example of Shakespeare's work being adapted for today's audience - Cartman shows many Iago-esque traits during this episode: Carefully orchestrating the revenge plot to its horrific ending - with one of the most shocking and memorable TV moments in recent history! But is the ending original? Hardly - the "reveal" at the end bears more than a passing resemblance to Titus Andronicus. (Though substitute Cartman's chilli to pie...)
