      ¥You sucked it out of a garden hose huh?"

      I mean at this point, why even allow South Park to be streamed at all? The whole point of the show was deeply offensive tomfoolery and the social commentary.

          And Cartoon Wars, on this list, simply referenced showing Mohammad. They tried to get it on but Comedy Central cut that scene, so the final cut of the episode just had a blank screen during the moment that Mohammad was supposed to be on screen.

    The audio on Ghosts (UK) still doesn’t work on the app, and I have to watch it on the web. Only that show, too.

    Apparently it’s because of Paramount Germany. Those episodes had, to quote them, “anti Semitic commentary”

      It’s only Germany as well, other countries get all of them. Including the United States. This reaction to a Twitter post is overblown. Germany has laws that must be followed that’s all

      Everyone here is reacting to a random person on Twitter as if they are telling the truth.

        No, paramount blocks it in the US too if it gets blocked in Germany, so whilst the right thing to do is to block it for German accounts only, it’s not what happens

    The real surprise is why anyone wastes money on any of those overpriced steaming services. It’s not a typo. I’d rather take a minor hit in resolution than pay those crap companies.

      I have some good news, you don’t have to take a hit to resolution. In fact, piracy probably provides better quality (blu ray rips)

    So dumb, the episodes exist and can be watched without much hassle. Why even ban them? It’s not changing the fact they exist and some of the best episodes.

      Because most people people are stupid, emotional animals that couldn’t critically think their way out of a paper bag.

      It’s the answer to SO many questions.

    When I discovered South Park studios, I legit stopped pirating south park. It was great. Good (enough) quality, access to every episode afaik, and easy to use. Then they switched to Hulu for sps and it went to shit: ads, videos failing to load, ads failing to load in the middle of the video causing it to reset from the beginning, only a few seasons available at any particular time, etc.

    Fuck all that shit.

      I remember that. Deleted all the seasons I had to free up hard drive space, since their website was so good. Ended up being another valuable lesson on why I need to self host my own stuff even if convenient alternatives are available.

      Nowadays I never trust a company not to pull the rug out from under me.

      It’s especially funny given what Trey Parker and Matt Stone said when they started the South Park Studios site in 2008. From the press release announcing the launch:

      When asked about the launch of the new site, Stone and Parker said, “We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time so we gave ourselves a legal alternative.”

    I still remember Adult Swim removing the Cowboy Bebop episode where they are flying in the Space Shuttle Columbia.

      I’m pretty sure that episode was put in rotation after while. It was very shortly after the real Shuttle exploded.
