This is my biggest gripe. I have all of Mr. Show on DVD because it cant be taken away from me. Netflix deleted an episode of w/ Bob and David, so to watch the whole thing you have to pirate it. And the rub is they deleted it because David does blackface in one of the sketches where he's trying to provoke cops at a traffic stop.

Scenes of him in the now deleted episode are in the final one because its a documentary of sorts, but that one is still up. So you see them talking about sketches that you have no reference for because Netflix deleted them.

Same thing happened to Community - they removed one of the best episodes because it has blackface, but the context of it is that an actual insane person is doing it and literally Every other character condemns it in no small way (not to mention that it's not really blackface, because he's supposed to be a dark troll) - but it still had to go apparently

A dark elf (drow) actually, but I totally agree it's the most ridiculous example of episode deletion.
