Buddy lost a client that exact way, still stings.

Wow, that is a huge deal because most of those "banned episode" tales fall apart the second you look into them, but the fact that Buffalo Gals actually aired means the bar for what got pulled was way lower than people assume. Here is the thing nobody talks about though, a lot of these episodes were not banned by the network at all, they were pulled because of music rights or some legal thing, and fans just slapped the "banned" label on them later to make it sound cooler. Rude Removal is a different animal since it was only shown at a convention and never aired on TV, so there was never a broadcast tape to begin with, which is why it stayed lost for so long. That means your cousin's VHS is way more rare than any of the creepypasta stuff people pass around online, because it proves the episode existed on air and somebody actually caught it. The real hunt should be for fan recordings of stuff that got pulled after a few airings, not the never aired shorts, since those at least had a chance to end up on a tape like yours.
