There are few TV shows that have courted controversy quite like over the last 30 years, and it is still doing so – but not for the reasons you would probably expect. While many fans have been happy to discover the series is finally about to join Paramount+’s expensive library in July 2025, the news has been marred by the almost guaranteed exclusion of 17 episodes that are effectively being “banned” from the platform. And that has obviously led to a petition.

South Park has been available on Paramount+ in several other countries, including the U.K., for a while now, and in those territories, a total of 17 episodes have remained unavailable. The list comprises:

“Big Gay Al’s Boat Ride” Season 1, Episode 4

“Terrance And Phillip In Not Without My Anus” Season 2, Episode 1

“Pip/Great Expectations” Season 4, Episode 14

“Super Best Friends” Season 5, Episode 3

“Jared Has Aides” Season 6, Episode 2

“Simpsons Did It” Season 6, Episode 7

“Cancelled” Season 7, Episode 1

“Passion Of The Jew” Season 8, Episode 3

“You Got F’d In The A” Season 8, Episode 4

“Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow” Season 9, Episode 8

“Trapped In The Closet” Season 9, Episode 12
