[Released] Whitest Kids U' Know - Uncensored

[stwd4nder2]

With no hope for a blu-ray release, I've taken it upon myself to re-assemble the first few seasons of WKUK using the best quality footage available. Thankfully, seasons 4 & 5 got HD releases on streaming back in the day, and web-dls are readily available. This project only covers seasons 1 - 3.

It was shot and edited (mostly) in HD, but the only complete and uncensored version is the original DVD (the new DVD is censored) which is long out of print and very expensive on the second-hand market. But thankfully a lot of sketches got HD releases online.

I have not done anything to clean up the issues with the HD masters, simply edited everything together to match the complete DVDs. Most of them seem compression related, but this was a TV show in the mid 2000's so it's pretty soft looking in general. Even with that, these are still much nicer in quality compered to what we had.

The original commentary tracks are included, as well as custom chapters labeling each sketch. Funnily enough the commentaries on season 3 frequently bring up a blu-ray release that never happened.


Sources:
Official YouTube uploads of censored episodes
Censored HD web-dls (slightly less censored then the standard YT uploads)
YouTube uploads of "banned" sketches (not sure if these are official or not, but they are native HD and not upscales)
DVD rips (Used for audio*, upscaled video used for a small amount of footage that I couldn't find in HD)
*the audio is in mp3. I couldn't find the raw ac3 online, but it should sync to the video if I ever get a hold of it.

Potential Future Updates:
If I can get ahold of the new DVDs, those have new commentary tracks edited to the censored episodes. I would like to edit those to these to make it as complete as possible.
I'd also like to get better rips of the original DVDs. The ones I have are re-encoded, and I'd like the audio tracks and subtitles.

PM me for a link.

I haven't been posting here as much because I've been busy with life stuff, but I'm still very slowly working through episodes. I've been given some HD web-dls for Seasons 2 & 3 thanks to another member here, and those have been very helpful.
I've completely given up any hope for a completely uncensored HD release now that there's a new disc release that's called "The Completer Edition" but is still DVD only and missing sketches. It does look like they have new commentaries that I'd love to get ahold of and sync to the uncensored copies.

Season 2 is now complete.

Thank you for uncensoring these ^__^

And season 3 is done. And with that, the project is complete.

Hey, thanks for this, the quality is great!

The only issue I have is the commentary tracks for s2 and s3 are almost unintelligible.
I know that's they way they were on the DVDs, but someone went ahead and enhanced the audio so it's much more clear: https://archive.org/details/wkuk_s02s03_commentary

Maybe you can replace the commentary tracks with that!

Oh cool, I've always been annoyed with how the commentary tracks were mixed. I'll download those and give them a listen, maybe I'll replace the audio in my project with it.

For now though, my HD versions are in sync with the DVDs, so anyone can download and mux these without needed any sync work.
