Pierre Carles se demande pourquoi personne ne parle jamais du fait que la concession de la première chaîne de télévision à TF1/Bouygues a été renouvelée automatiquement depuis 1987 par le Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel, avec la complaisance de la classe politique. Pour ce faire, il prend sa caméra et son micro et entreprend d'aller interviewer des personnalités de la télévision française. Il comprend vite que la méthode qui avait fonctionné dans Pas vu pas pris ne marche plus. Il finit par s'interroger sur sa propre démarche et sur la critique des médias en général.

The documentary chronicles the production of the season premiere, "HumancentiPad", beginning the Thursday prior to airing. Parker and Stone, alongside producers Anne Garefino, Vernon Chatman, Bill Hader, and Susan Arneson, toss out ideas for the episode. Parker mentions his frustration with downloading the latest version of iTunes, and being forced to comply with the software's long list of terms and conditions. The anecdote leads to ideas, with Parker instructing the storyboard team on how to stage a shot. The film covers various aspects of production, including voice acting, animation, lip sync, communication with standards and practices, character design, and editing.
