Drones

Drones are remote controlled aircraft featured in the Season Eighteen episode, "The Magic Bush".

Background
Stephen Stotch takes up the hobby of piloting a drone with his son. The hobby turns malicious when Eric Cartman uses it to spy on the neighbors and accidentally records Craig Tucker's Mother Laura Tucker in the nude while in her home. This breach of privacy causes everyone in South Park to purchase drones for a neighborhood watch program.

When this system becomes corrupted, police drones are sent in to watch the neighborhood drones. Randy Marsh's drone, which is painted black while the others are white, is shot down for peeping by a police drone. This action leads to protests by the other drones and the government sends their drones to keep the peace. Butters and Cartman use an inflatable sex toy in the guise of Laura Tucker to lure all types of drones away from the town thus restoring peace. A banquet is held in Mrs. Tucker's honor.
