"HUMANCENTiPAD" is the first episode of Season Fifteen, and the 210th overall episode of South Park. It first aired on April 27, 2011.
Kyle is intimately involved in the development of a revolutionary new product called HumancentiPad.
iPads are the new popular item across the United States and everyone has one, except for Cartman, who is caught pretending to have one by Craig, and Kenny who also doesn't have one because he is too poor to have one, so he watches his friends play with theirs instead. Kyle is chased through the town and kidnapped by Apple employees, who claim their actions are legal under the newest version of the iTunes terms and conditions, which Kyle agreed to without reading. He is thrown into a prison cell with a Japanese man and a Caucasian woman. Meanwhile, Cartman embarrasses his mother, Liane, at Best Buy, loudly accusing her of "fucking" him (as in fucking him over but saying things like, "Why don't you go across the street and buy some condoms? Because we should at least be safe if you're gonna fuck me, Mom!") for offering to buy him the cheaper "Toshiba HandiBook" rather than the iPad, due to the cost of being very expensive. After he tries to get the police involved, in a rare moment of strictness, she refuses to buy him anything and takes him home instead by grounding him for his actions.
At a gathering of Apple employees, Steve Jobs unveils the new product for which Kyle and the other two were kidnapped, the HUMANCENTiPAD, comprising of the three kidnapped subjects on all fours, wearing only white cloths around their waists and sewn together mouth to anus. The Japanese man is in front, with an iPhone attached to his forehead; Kyle is in the middle; and the Caucasian woman is at the rear, with an iPad attached to her butt and powered by the trio's feces. Jobs intends to teach the creation to read and walk, but becomes frustrated when Kyle continues to sign agreements that are put in front of him without reading them first. Jobs goes to great lengths to get the creation (especially Kyle) to learn read, including tricking it into believing to be rescued and brought to a hospital for its members to separated only to reveal that it was a simulation inside an Apple Store the whole time and it was to be put on display. Back in South Park, Gerald goes with the boys to the Apple Store to seek advice from "the Geniuses", who, after performing several rituals, conclude that they can make Kyle's agreement void if Gerald, a PC user, signs up with Apple and creates a family account.
AV Club gave "HUMANCENTiPAD" a "B+" rating saying: "And as with so many of South Park’s satires, “Human CentiPad” avoided blandly repeating the broader Apple jokes of the past primarily by zeroing in on a single ridiculous aspect—that of those goddamn “User Agreement” screens that barf up 50 pages of slight contract revisions every time you’re forced to download a minutely tweaked copy of iTunes. Any Apple user exhausted by that Software Update icon always bouncing in their dock could probably sympathize with Kyle, who simply clicks the “Agree” button without reading what he’s agreeing to—a carelessness that shocks those around him, because everyone reads those agreements (“How else would you know what you’re agreeing to?”) and, ultimately, leads to him getting his mouth sewed to the anus of a Japanese man."
IGN gave "HUMANCENTiPAD" a "7.5" rating saying: ""
