"HumancentiPad", stylized as "HUMANCENTiPAD" (pronounced /ˌhjuːmənˈsɛntaɪˌpæd/), is the first episode of the fifteenth season of the American animated television series South Park, and the 210th episode of the series overall. It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on April 27, 2011. In the episode, Kyle is kidnapped after agreeing to an iTunes user agreement, and forced to become part of a "revolutionary new product" that is about to be launched by Apple. Meanwhile, Cartman, who has not acquired an Apple iPad, pesters his mother on the issue, drawing her ire.
The episode was written and directed by series co-creator Trey Parker, and was rated TV-MA-L in the United States. The episode's title, and main plot, refers to the 2009 film The Human Centipede (First Sequence). This episode parodies reports about tracking software built into iPads and iPhones, and also the tediously long end-user license agreements.[1][2]
The making of the episode was the subject of the TV special, 6 Days to Air, which aired on Comedy Central on October 9, 2011.[3]
