Written by BOT, on 09-24-2007 19:03
Cartman excitedly brags to the other children that he is the first to reach puberty, since he's gotten his first pubes. It turns out, however, that he has only bought the pubic hairs from a 14 year old boy, Scott Tenorman (voiced by Toby Morton), rather than growing it himself. Cartman is outraged at having been conned. 
 
Cartman tries to get back his $10 through various methods, but is always outwitted by Scott. He even loses an additional $6.12 in the process. As he plots his revenge he first attempts to get his friends on his side, but because Cartman is the only victim, none are interested. 
 
Cartman's first major plan involves training one of Farmer Denkins' ponies to bite Scott's wiener off. He trains one to attack a scarecrow with a hot dog hanging from its pants. The pony doesn't bite it off the first time, instead performing fellatio on it. Jimbo and Ned turn up, stating that the best way to humiliate Scott is to exploit his weaknesses. After discovering that Scott likes the band Radiohead, Cartman comes up with scheme that involves dubbing his voice over that of Radiohead to make it appear that the band is telling Kurt Loder that Scott Tenorman is "totally not cool." This plan fails, and Scott further humiliates Cartman by showing the entire town a movie of Cartman pretending to be a pig in order to get his money back. 
 
Cartman then proceeds to carry out a variation of his plan to get Scott's wiener bitten off. He invites Radiohead (Scott's favorite band) to come to South Park to meet Scott (who is, according to the letter, dying from cancer in his ass) and asks if they are free "next Tuesday around 5." Stan and Kyle betray Cartman, telling Scott about Cartman's plan. Cartman invites Scott to a chili cookoff, telling him that he can have a free pony ride at the event. Scott, who thinks he knows what Cartman's plan is, tells his parents that there is an abandoned pony at Farmer Denkins' place. The parents go to Farmer Denkins in order to have the pony sent to an animal shelter. Scott decides to humiliate Cartman once again by having all the teenagers put their pubic hair in Scott's chili and watch Cartman eat it. 
 
At the cook off, everybody is waiting for Cartman to get humiliated (except for Chef, who brought his own chili). Scott eats Cartman's chili first, and then taunts Cartman to do the same. When Cartman has eaten most of a bowl of Scott's chili, Scott begins to tell Cartman what he did. However, Cartman has anticipated Scott's move, and reveals that he switched Scott's chili with Chef's. He explains that he knew that Stan and Kyle were going to tell Scott about his original plan. He also explains that he knew that, as Scott wouldn't want his wiener bitten off, he would send someone to get the pony for him, most likely his parents. What Scott didn't know is that Farmer Denkins is a crazy redneck who shoots trespassers on sight. Knowing this, Cartman warned Denkins that violent pony killers were in the area, as Denkins wouldn't want his favorite pony killed. Denkins shot Scott's parents when he saw Scott's dad's flashlight. Cartman stole the bodies and spent the night chopping the bodies up with a hacksaw, cooking them into his "Mr and Mrs Tenorman Chili", which Cartman reveals he has just fed to Scott. Scott (and everyone else present) is horrified and devastated at the loss of his parents. At that moment, right on cue (and exactly on Cartman's schedule), Radiohead shows up. They see Scott sobbing and mock him for being a "crybaby" and "totally not cool". 
 
Finally, as Scott is crying over the death of his parents, Cartman licks the tears off of Scott's face, remarking that they are "yummy and sweet" as well as calling them "the tears of unfathomable sadness". Kyle remarks to Stan, "Dude, I don't think we should ever piss off Cartman again." The episode ends with Cartman imitating Porky Pig in an homage to old Looney Toons cartoons.

* In episodes that were aired shortly after Scott Tenorman Must Die (particularly in Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow and Here Comes the Neighborhood), Cartman can be heard saying "I will make you eat your parents."  
 
* Cartman's speech to the other students trying to convince them to join his plan is modeled on William Wallace's pre-battle speech to his warriors in the film Braveheart.  
 
* Cartman's plan to make the "Mr and Mrs Tenorman Chili" and feed it to Scott is reminiscent of the revenge taken by Atreus on his brother Thyestes in Greek mythology and the revenge taken by Titus Andronicus in the play by Shakespeare.  
 
* Cartman says to Scott Tenorman, "Haha, charade you are." This is a reference to the Pink Floyd song Pigs (Three Different Ones).

When Cartman tells Stan, Kyle, and Kenny about the pubes, Scott Tenorman is referred to as a ninth grader. However, when he is orgainizing the children to help him with his plan to dismember Scott's wiener, he is said to be an eighth grader.
