I was super confused when I got to the second D&D episode of Community. Turns out, streaming banned the first one because an Asian man wears drowface. He appropriated dark elf culture. Eventually I pirated the episode and was very happy. Good story.
-
because it was too close to blackface, i assume?
-
-
What was the controversy in Simpsons Did It? All I remember is the epitomal line.
-
Has anyone watched the most recent season of The Rehearsal? Nathan mentions that an episode of his previous show "Nathan for You" was taken off Paramount Plus because it had a segment where he started a fashion line where the profits would go toward holocaust education and remembrance. So even though this was a positive thing, it still brings up the holocaust and is therefore too sensitive subject to air. He then proceeds to paint Paramount Plus as literal Nazis in proceeding episodes to drive his point home. Highly recommend if you haven't seen his new show yet.
-
That was such an amazing clip, I was absolutely howling.
By the way, have you managed to convince anyone to watch The Rehearsals or Nathan for you? I like both these shows but it's so hard to describe them to someone and make them even consider watching it
-
Rehearsals really is impossible to describe. I watched the first episode, and the last 2 minutes hit so hard, that I seriously questioned if the show is attempting to genuinely help the people or is it for the comedy. He walks the line so well. Can't wait to watch more.
-
Familiar with the shows but I’m now going to try both based on your recos, thank you!

Why the fuck would they remove Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride?
Also, cancelling Cancelled it peak irony.
-
Because it celebrates inclusion.
-
This is legitimately one of my favorite television episodes ever. Like, across all shows. It’s perfect in every way and such an amazing time capsule from the 90s.

Just watch them on their website for free https://www.southparkstudios.com/
-
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.
-
The stupidest censorship I’ve seen like this is Community’s first DnD episode. Chang dresses up as a drow and that is considered “blackface” even though they address it in the episode that he isn’t black but a drow. So goodbye episode on streaming.
-
I mean, I guess if you're a drow and see this, you might be offended.
Not because it's drowface, but because it's a human, therefore not drow, and thus is beneath the drow.
They kind of have an extreme isolationist, and borderline racial superiority thing going on.
-
But they are also praying to a giant spider and kill their own children, so not exactly nice people.
-
-
Whoever thinks black people look like that is racist
-
they could have avoided this crap by just choosing grey. drows and variants come in various shades. it's so fucking stupid
-
Oh, man. A Drow in a long-sleeved Guayabera. That's an insult to my Cuban heritage. Keep it banned. /s
-
He's one of those weird seldarine drow that hangs out with the humans.
-
-
Not offensive, but fucking terrifying!
-
And they even clown on those who think it is blackface
-
So are we gonna ignore the hatecrime?
Literally one of the first reactions.
-
-
Reminds me of how that musician Michael Jackson did whiteface 😮💨 I was beyond offended, we need to address behaviour like this more often, absolutely deplorable.
-
-
Proof that piracy is the best solution to overcome authoritarianism.
-
And corporate bullshit
-
Reminds of the the time that Sony made a pretty advanced root kit to fight piracy. The only people that were not infected were the pirates who wouldn't have bought their CDs.
-
-
-
And yet they keep the Scott Tenorman episode?
-
Well yeah, that's just murder/cannibalism. Nothing weird or immoral about that.
-
-
Imagine paying for Paramount Plus at all. I just stopped paying for it (card expired) and nothing changed. This was like a year ago, I never fixed the issue. Still watching a bunch of Star Trek. I don't think they run a very tight ship over there at Paramount, lol.
-
That's also the reason I still subscribe to Spotify. I haven't paid for it in like 3 years, but my premium status still hasn't expired 🤣
-
That was me and Siriusxm
-
Same shit happened to me. It did eventually so working but only after like 2 years
-
-
This is why I still pirate stuff.
-
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.
-
-
The irony of pulling cartoon wars
-
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.
-
-
Great. Now I know which ones to watch.
-
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)
-
-
Ahoy, Mateys!
-
Wtf that's like the best episodes
-
I think most of those episodes aren't available on Comedy Central's site either (can't access the USA version, it keeps redirecting me to the Brazilian, all of them still seem available)
-
That recent episode of The Reversal is coming to mind...
