South Park finally comes to Netflix – but there's a catch
Grab yourself some medicinal fried chicken and slather it in a healthy dollop of crème fraîche, because Trey Parker and Matt Stone's iconic satirical animation South Park is finally coming to Netflix – but with a slight catch.
The streaming service recently announced that from September 27, subscribers in the UK will be able to watch season 1 and seasons 18 to 21, as well as "a collection of ~top episodes~ which includes critically acclaimed episodes, fan favourites, and others chosen by the creators".
Those with a keen eye and razor-sharp intellect, however, will notice that Netflix is only offering a total of four whole seasons, something its rival Amazon Prime Video was quick to mock with a Professor Chaos-style laugh.
Boasting 21 seasons of Cartman and the gang's foul-mouthed antics, Amazon couldn't resist trolling Netflix over its short supply.
Replying to Netflix's original announcement on Twitter, Amazon Prime Video UK's official account posted a picture of a crying Cartman with the caption "when you've got four seasons of South Park", alongside one of the character smiling captioned "when you've got 21 seasons of South Park".

Amazon's devastating mockery – made slightly ironic by the fact that South Park season 22 featured a satirical takedown of the company – comes after the delightful news that Comedy Central has renewed the series for three more seasons.
Noting that their #CancelSouthPark campaign clearly failed, Trey and Matt said in a statement: "Apparently, our efforts to get our own show cancelled have fallen short.
"Luckily, we love Comedy Central... and our staff, so we are looking forward to new cancellation opportunities in the next few years."
South Park airs on Comedy Central and is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. It will also be available on Netflix from September 27.
