Biography[]
In his first appearance in "Scott Tenorman Must Die", Scott is established quickly as a manipulative high school freshman who chooses Cartman as his target, and he ends up paying a heavy price - one that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
When he first encountered Cartman, Scott tricked him by selling him his pubic hair for $10, claiming that this meant that Cartman had reached maturity. There was no financial motive for this, as Scott himself later explains he got a hefty allowance of $50 a week. Scott was just conning Cartman for the sake of it.
Cartman eventually learns he had been tricked, and resolves to get his money back at all costs. However Scott cheats him out of more money (leading to Cartman losing $16.12 in total), culminating in him making Cartman beg for his money back, then burning it in front of him. After more basic revenge plans failed, and after being further humiliated by Scott with the public display of a video of Cartman begging for his money back by oinking like a pig, Cartman finally has enough. He tells Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski that he would train a pony owned by Farmer Denkins to bite Scott's penis off. Stan and Kyle later call Scott and tell him Cartman's plan.
Moments later, Cartman arrives and gives Scott a leaflet for a Chili Con Carnival and also a ticket for a pony ride. Wanting to sabotage Cartman's plan, Scott tells his parents that there is a starving pony at Denkins' ranch and he can not help it due to having lots of homework, to which his parents say they will go to the ranch and take the pony to an animal shelter. Scott then has his two friends collect pubes from all the kids in town and mixes them into a chili he will feed to Cartman at the carnival.
On the day of the carnival, Scott gives his chili to Cartman, who gives Scott his. The pair sit down and begin to eat their chili. Scott prepares to tell Cartman what his chili contains, only for Cartman to reveal that he knew what Scott had done and he is in fact eating a chili made by Chef. Cartman then reveals that he knew that Stan and Kyle would tell Scott of his plan to train Denkins' pony to bite of Scott's penis. Knowing that Scott would try to do something to the pony, Cartman told Denkins that there were violent pony killers in the area. Cartman also says that he knew Scott would not go to the ranch out of fear of getting his penis bit off and would most likely send his parents instead.
Cartman then tells Scott that when Denkins spotted his parents, he shot and killed them. Cartman then arrived at the ranch to steal the bodies whilst Denkins was busy giving his report to Officer Barbrady. After a night with a hacksaw, Cartman was ready to for the put fot the carnival where he could personally tell Scott about his parents deaths and feed him his chili, which Cartman calls "Mr. and Mrs Tenorman Chili". Realizing what Cartman meant, Scott sticks his hand in the chili and finds his mother's finger and is shocked. Cartman proceeds to taunt Scott over making him eat his parents. Scott is traumatized and wracked with guilt for this. To add insult to injury, Scott gets mocked by his favorite band, Radiohead, for being a "crybaby," and "the most uncool kid they've ever met" unaware that he's crying over his parents' demise. Scott breaks down into even more tears, which Cartman licks. Scott becomes an orphan after this, as his carelessness for screwing with Cartman cost him his parents, and he was left completely alone. This utter tragedy leaves him broken forever.
In the episode "The Death of Eric Cartman", he is seen weeping over his parents graves as Cartman and Butters places a gift basket next to him as an apology. which he denies and gives Cartman a black eye for getting his parents killed.
It is unknown if he had any other family members in the Tenorman family.
Later on, Scott found other parts of his parents inside the chilli he was eating. like his mother's finger, his parents hair, his father's eyeball, his parent's ears, and his parents fingers. he would go insane and was sent to a mental institution later on after that..
In Episode "201", Scott Tenorman returns as the leader of the revived "Ginger Separatist Movement." In this episode seems to have become much more sadistic than before. During his stay in said mental institution, he researched on Cartman, and was planned to torment Cartman with the identity of his real father. But instead the shock was too great for Scott, so he developed a plan to force the town to present Cartman's real father to him.
Apparently, a Denver Bronco (right tackle) had an affair with Cartman’s mother, resulting in his conception. The whole town covered it up because "the Broncos were having a good year and couldn't afford any distractions." Scott Tenorman's father, Jack Tenorman was a Denver Bronco and was the only one who lived in South Park, thus Jack Tenorman was Cartman's biological father, which made Scott Tenorman Cartman's half brother. In the words of Scott, he tells him "You killed your own father, and you fed him to your half brother!"
Cartman is horrified, and then to top it off, Scott then shoves Cartman into the same bowl of tainted chili that he fed Scott, but a moment before Cartman eats it, the Super Best Friends bust in battling a group of celebrities and the gingers. Not yet done with his insane schemes, Scott Tenorman escapes using a jet pack saying that he'll be back, with Jesus saying "Who's the creepy ginger kid?" Cartman then vows to get revenge on Scott again. Scott has not appeared since then.

- "Scott Tenorman Must Die" - First appearance. He becomes Cartman's sworn enemy.
- "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" - He makes a cameo appearance as a member of the 6th Grade Army.
- "I'm a Little Bit Country" - He appears in a crowd at the end of the episode.
- "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" - Appears watching Kyle's presentation.
- "The Death of Eric Cartman" - Is seen crying at his parent's grave. Cartman gives him a fruit basket as a quick apology for having Mr. and Mrs. Tenorman killed. (Implying that he actually regrets what he did.)
- "201" - It is revealed that after the events of his first appearance, he was committed to a mental institution, becoming obsessed with revenge on Cartman. He eventually learns that his father, a player on the Denver Broncos, had an affair with Cartman's mother, which resulted in her getting pregnant with him. Therefore, the major twist of the episode is that Tenorman and Cartman are half-brothers, and that Cartman manipulated his own father into his death.

Trivia[]
- He appeared in the background during "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" during the first scene when it pans to the audience.
- Scott revived the Ginger movement, which was started by his half-brother Eric Cartman in the episode "Ginger Kids".
- Cartman's hatred of gingers may have ignited with his feud with Scott.
- The scene in 201 where Scott confronts Cartman in the Chili Con-Carnival and the roller-coaster scene are made to look like an iconic sequence from the Batman: The Killing Joke graphic novel, in which The Joker abducts Commissioner Gordon and psychologically tortures him after shooting and crippling his daughter, Barbara Gordon AKA Batgirl/Oracle.
- Scott's manipulative and sadistic nature is very similar to his half-brother's at times. However, in his initial appearance, his cruelty was far more childish and simple bullying, as opposed to Cartman's more elaborate and super-villain methods (though to be fair, trying to give Eric some pubic hairs to eat was a bit too much). This changed in his appearance in 201 where it appears Cartman's past actions pushed him down to Cartman's level of evil.
- Scott Tenorman was based on Scut Farkus, the bully from A Christmas Story.
