| 0:08.0 | And the reason this documentary exists and the reason it is interesting is that for the last number of years |
| 0:16.1 | the team behind South Park they will come up with an idea for an episode, write the episode, |
| 0:27.7 | animate it and voice act it within six days, and then it is played to the world on Comedy Central. |
