Season 12 / Episode 4: - Canada on Strike

Kyle Broflovski (Stone, Matt (I)): You know, I learned something today. [quickly] We thought we could make money on the Internet. But while the Internet is new and exciting for creative people, it hasn't matured as a distribution mechanism to the extent that one should trade real and immediate opportunities for income for the promise of future online revenue. It will be a few years before digital distribution of media on the Internet can be monetized to an extent that necessitates content producers to forgo their fair value in more traditional media.
Stan Marsh (Parker, Trey (I)): [pause] Yeah.

TRIVIA

The entire episode is a parody of the three-month Writers Guild of America strike (in a running joke, "World Canadian Bureau" is abbreviated as "WGA" in the episode) and (in the creators' opinions) its insignificant gains.
YouTube and other Internet video website celebrities parodied in the waiting room scene include (in alphabetical order): - The Afro Ninja. - The Back Dorm Boys (lip-syncing to Backstreet Boys songs). - Gary Brolsma (II) ("Numa Numa"). - Chris Crocker ("Leave Britney Alone!"). - The dramatic chipmunk. - A laughing baby ("Hahaha"). - Jay Maynard, the "TRON (1982) guy". - Ghyslain Raza, the "Star Wars (1977) kid". - Jessica Rose (VI) ("Lonelygirl15" (2006)). - The sneezing panda. - Tay Zonday ("Chocolate Rain"). - Sam Norman (I) [aka Samwell] (What What (In the Butt) (2007)).
