Personally I loved the first part but the second part was kind of meh to me. Felt lacking because of all the bleeps, and it feels like the father thing was on the forefront and they just let the celeb part of the storyline get stale and die out.

The fact that they make so much fun of all the other religious figures, with their drug addictions, porn addictions, pestering of sea man, ridiculous super powers, ... really drives the point home.


Still, somehow I just wanted to episode to end with Muhammed being shown very shortly saying something stupid like "now, who wants ice cream!"

I don't know that if, with all the censoring, they played it more sophisticatedly, or just more safely.

They tried to get the censorship work as a joke, but I think they care too much about free speech to make this up.

I felt the 'message' of the episode was fine, but like the last episode I didn't find anything close to funny.

The bit with Scott could have been cool and interesting as it's own, seperate episode.

As Cartman said, people wanted to know who his father was. :lol

None of it was forced, all of it was planned.

Edit: I seriously can't believe how many people think that the censoring was forced. Are you people fucking serious? I could see if MAYBE you thought the censoring was forced for the first half of the episode, but once they got to the "what I learned today" where EVERYTHING was censored, then you knew for SURE that it was part of the joke. Because it was obvious that the "what I learned today" part was censored on purpose, and the only reason why that was funny was because there was so much censoring going on in the first place.

If you REALLY still think the censoring was forced, then wait until they rerun last week's episode and see if they have to censor it this time.

Shit, you people are stupid. =P

That's so stupid of Comedy Central for not allowing them to air the episode on the SouthParkStudios.com website. I'm so...pissed...off...right now...you guys....

I keep reading 15th season to 2011.

But, they didn't correct the 2013 date in an interview.

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2...ologize-to-no-one/?scp=1&sq=south park&st=cse


Trey Parker is 40, Matt Stone is 38, don't know if that's a hint or not.
Click to expand...


I think it was just a joke about a previous interview they mentioned when they first started, saying something like "well we're not going to be doing this show when we're 40"

Scott Tenorman's reveal and the Cartman's father backstory was absolutely amazing. It really paid off in a completely epic and surprising way. So brilliant.

The beeps were just too goddamn perfect to be unintentional. Stan's "Yeah." face... :lol

I was really annoyed that they were bleeping Muhammed's name. Having Scott Tennorman show up was brilliant though and made up for it :lol

Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
I dunno i reckon it was all a massive joke (Except for the extremists' threats obviously).

But damn if i didn't love that episode.

Great episode. I kept wondering if all of the excessive censoring was a joke or not. The bleeps started to get distracting and annoying. It's almost as if they were playing with the fact that he HAD to be censored by going overboard with the censoring.

I was really hoping for Cartmans dad to be Kyles dad so that he would be 1/2 Jew. That would have been epic.
Click to expand...
I was really hoping for this too, but they probably thought that doing such a thing would shake up the show too much.

Still, making Scott and Cartman related was great, and I doubt anyone saw it coming :lol

The beeping out the speeches at the end were obviously intentional, but the beeping of every instance of the name Muhammed was surely not intentional and likely CC giving into pressure. It was fine the week before to say the name and suddenly it's beeped to hell.

Be interesting to see if they even ever rebroadcast the past episodes about it.

How strange is it that they have another episode after this? It's going to stand out so bad after a two-part fan wank-fest.

I wonder if there were supposed to be three parts and they cut it short having to deal with the death threat nonsense.

I'm 99% sure that the bleeping of the word Mohammed was intentional too, considering how ridiculously often they mentioned the name. They're just making fun of that whole stupid thing instead of being like "fuck that, we're just showing it", which is very smart and executed well, I think. And surely even that message on SPS is part of it.

If it's a joke, then why is there still not a streaming version of the episode and instead you're greeted with a message talking about how CC added too many "bleeps" to the original episode before it was even broadcast?

Yeah, why would 'mohammed' being censored be a joke? They didn't censor that in episode 200. CC is pretty anal about this (censoring all mohammed depictions), they probably got even more anal after the threats.

So not airing the repeat at 11 (and charging a higher price for ads) and not streaming it on the website are part of the joke? GAF's little theory seems awfully expensive.

I wonder what is going to happen to my HD Season Pass on iTunes. I hope they allow me to download this episode. It would suck if Comedy Central prevents that from airing as well.

I want to watch this episode. Eff you extremists. Maybe they will leak the original episode online or something. That would be awesome.

Elaborate parody or self-censorship (network pressure).

Uhhhh....I can't even tell at this point :lol On one hand, this IS South Park. But on the other, Comedy Central is owned by Viacom

I liked the episode, but all the beeping got annoying. I mean, I get the statement they are trying to make and I respect them for it, but that beep sound just grates on my nerves.

This issue of not showing a likeness of Mohammed is really idiotic. When are people going to grow some balls and stop letting bullies tell them what to do? Besides, isn't there a likeness of the prophet Mohammed in a US government building?

Yup, here it is:

Okay, I didn't know about the thing with the repeat, seems nonsensical. But the only thing I could think about that might be forced censoring by CC is the bleeping of Mohammeds name, and as I said, I think they mentioned it strangely often, especially in the beginning. So either they intended to say the name (uncensored) that much on purpose, or they bleeped it themselves. That bleeping of the "I learned something"-scene just cannot be forced, it's too obvious.

South Park Studios normally just bleeps out the swearing. It was Comedy Central that decided to beep out "Prophet Muhammad".

A Comedy Central spokesperson confirmed it was the network's decision to bleep the words.

It's the fact that no one cared about the Prophet Muhammad being in the original Super Best Friends episode that just kills me. It was until that damn comic that all this bullshit started.

I don't know if I even want to watch the episode now because of all this crap.

I thought the US government took away all our privacy with the Patriot Act specifically to protect us from these terrorists. Aren't we perfectly safe now that we've given away much of our civil liberties? :D

Unless the Patriot Act has the ability to read minds then I would say it does very little good when it comes to this. They all aren't terrorists either.
