Another brilliant episode, packed with callbacks to older episodes, oh, and the brilliant twist ending of who Cartman’s dad is was great!

At first, I found the constant bleeping of [censored] to be quite annoying, but the bleep gag paid off near the end of the episode

Cartman’s father also being Scott Tenorman’s father was a great twist, not only is Cartman related to the one person he hates more than Kyle, Hippies, and the Homeless, and he killed his own father, but he’s also…half-Ginger to boot!

I loved Mecha-Streissand 2.0 going on a rampage through town, destroying Casa Bonita, Raisins, and Country Town Buffet amongst others, I just wish they would have brought in 2.0 revisions of the “Megas” (Mega-Maltin, Mega-Poitier, Mega-Smith)

I saw the end result of Cruise stealing [censored]'s Goo a mile away, Cruise certainly became un-ripabble quite effectively (at least until he got Sea-Man on his back…)

…and the whole bleeping of the “I’ve learned something today” ending, nice payoff to the bleeping of [censored], I just hope it’ll be uncensored when this episode is on southparkstudios dot com

The censorship was integral to the jokes, I doubt there was anything even there being censored to show.

Cartman being most upset that he’s half ginger was hilarious. I enjoyed the shots at Jesus and Buddha while Mohamed was censored. Porn’s way different than coke, fag.

So what happened to the LAST revelation of who Cartman’s dad is? Retconned?

Unfortunately, it won’t be. Comedy Central has placed an announcement at its site which reads,

> [@](#):
>
> We apologize that South Park Studios cannot stream episode 201 at this time. After we delivered the show, and prior to broadcast, Comedy Central placed numerous additional audio bleeps throughout the episode. We do not have network approval to stream our original version of the show. We will bring you a version of 201 as soon as we can.

Great episode! I was seriously surprised that they actually resolved the cliffhanger. And that they did it the very next week.

Perhaps it will be uncensored in countries where South Park isn’t aired by Comedy Central? Thecomedynetwork.ca will be adding it to their stream on the weekend.

The word “Mohammed” (among some other things).

Right. Those bleeps were clearly by design. Comedy Central bleeped additional things that Matt and Trey didn’t want bleeped. We’re wondering what those were.

Wait, so 201 was actually a sequel to 200? When I went to watch 201, I got a shitty episode about book censoring. God it was awful.

The frickin’ religious fanatics finally got to “Super Best Friends”, it is no longer streamable!

Frak you, fanatical Muslims, and Frak you Mohammed, yes, I said it out loud, and I’m gonna keep saying it just to annoy you, Mohammed, Mohammed, Mohammed! your fictional “Super Best Friend” is no better, no more deserving of protection than any other fictional invisible friend

I think you’re all getting suckered.

> The biggest punchline of all, however, is the rash of censored material in the episode. South Park Studios, which regularly streams episodes after they air, currently greets hopeful viewers of “201” with this message: “We apologize that South Park Studios cannot stream episode 201 at this time. After we delivered the show, and prior to broadcast, Comedy Central placed numerous additional audio bleeps throughout the episode.

You somehow caught an earlier episode of the season.

Weird… because my cable provider showed the summary as being correct, ‘mecha-Streisand, gingers… etc’

It’s because Comedy Central wimped out. They showed “The Legend of Scrotie McBoogerballs” last night instead of the encore of 201. They also plan to show that episode tomorrow night and on Sunday they are going to show “You Have 0 Friends” instead. I believe after this debacle, Comedy Central is going to end up with zero friends.

Wow, I didn’t know that was the reason. You’d think Comedy Central of all places would allow South Park to do whatever they wanted, as long as they bring in the advertising dollars.

There was a huge reference to Batman: The Killing Joke in this episode, but nobody seems to have caught it.

Comedy Central is requesting to be friends…

“IGNORE!”

Comedy Central needs to man up and grow some cojones, kowtowing to the muslim fanatics benefits no one, go ahead and show images of “Mo”

CC, it’s time to “nut up or shut up”
