Or would that be some bullshitty copyright thing too?
FYI nearly all the episodes of South Park on are on Hulu Plus, which you can get a free week of.
But I think that particular episode isnât on thereâŚ
âIn April 2010 the season five episode âSuper Best Friendsâ and the season fourteen episodes â200â, and â201â were removed from the site, additionally these episodes no longer air in reruns and are only available exclusively on DVD. These episodes remain unavailable following the 2014 purchase by Hulu.â
So in this case Iâd advise you to find it on DVD or through⌠other⌠means.

No, just think about what could happen. Someone could decide to write 15,000 consecutive articles analyzing all episodes of South Park in 30 second increments, and then accompany them with 15,000 consecutive 30 second clips of the shows.
Because it could happen, Viacom must assume that someone is currently planning to do this, and they also must assume there are a sizeable number of potential customers willing to watch TV shows in 30 second increments, with each 30 second bit separated by the same 15 second advertisement for GEICO.
As a marketing professor, Iâm willing to accept the possibility that this consumer segment exists, however I do disagree with Viacomâs assessment of its size and the resulting potential loss of sales. Because it is available on Hulu, it is clear that Viacom stands to lose at least $7.99 and possibly as much as $31.96
Thatâs easily worth a little bit of bad publicity, donât you think?

I hope Viacom has fun sending takedowns to a .ch (Switzerland) domain - since copyright infringement for private use is protected there. Plus allsp, and all these streaming placesâ modi operandi is to simply up a new copy every time one is taken down. Whack-a-mole donât work so well with the slow-turning gears of bureaucracy.
Edit: thereâs also a copy on kickass that is labelled as uncensored and had ~60 seeds. You fucking tools at Viacom gonna learn: people will take what they want - especially if youâre a dick about takedowns.
@James_Mason Nope, because people like me revel in making a mockery of their attempts and any like them. Metallica have a couple of songs I like, but I find the majority of their music to be trite garbage. The day they sued napster I downloaded their discography on napster and shared it on napster because they need to learn: those who are going to take will take. Those who are going to buy will buy. In China they sell legitimate copies of movies for a couple of bucks because otherwise people will pirate. If they can make a profit at a couple of bucks retail then us consumers in the west are being fucked over, just because they can. I refuse to participate.

Every time I pay for a movie and have to sit through âYou wouldnât steal a carâŚâ, I give myself a free movie ticket. And just because Viacom removed a clip of a South Park episode I never had ANY interest in watching outside of its culture relevancy to the Charlie Hebdo, uh, âincidentâ, I went ahead over to http://hmastuff.com/videos/ and watched three full episodes. Total actual loss to Viacom: $0.

I tried watching the episode on the allsp site, but there were too many popup screens and ads and redirection and such nonsense. And then it wanted me to sign up / log in, and it didnât like my browser or somethng. So to heck with it. Had to just close the tab.
But, watching the 3 episodes on hmastuff, it ocurred to me that it may not have been the religious icons they insulted; it may perhaps have been Babs, the giant mechazoid.
Hilariously, in case you missed it, the music in that anti-piracy ad was pirated.

Also, this title graphic on that page is pretty funny:
Every time I see that stupid ad I think âI would make a duplicate of a car if I couldâ.

Haha yeah, those streaming places are a shitfight of ads⌠which is why you need Adblock Plus, and why I usually just torrent. If you accidentally click on an ad youâll end up somewhere where they ask you to sign up, but allsp and watchseries will both let you watch eps without any signing up - their business model is advertising dollars from page impressions so if they donât offer the actual thing people are looking for theyâll eventually run out of impressions as people realise theyâre bs.
IRT sp - the issue was most definitely the religious shit. I remember Trey and Matt being fucking pissed that comedy central wouldnât show it uncensored and IIRC they released it online somewhere in protest? Also, Streisand is a favoured target of their ridicule⌠they werenât scared of her lawsuits.

There will be time when people will be doing just that, and there will be crackdown on them. And people will keep doing that anyway.
The hmastuff version is censored â dialog beeped out during explanations of the fact that the only way to keep from being made fun of is to threaten violence. Havenât gotten the other one to work yet.

Ha⌠not sure why heâs put that version up as it kinda defeats the purpose. I got this one and can confirm that this copy does include the final speech telling us that all we need for people to stop making fun of us is guns and bombs:
