Trivia

The original airdate title for this episode was "Cartman Says...", as Cartman was the first person to say "shit" in this episode. See more »

Goofs

The show counts 162 times the word "shit" is used, however, the counter at the bottom counts the TV executive taking a breath when he repeats the word numerous times, thus technically the count should be 161. See more »

Quotes

Mr. Garrison: Now when I want you to hand in your work, I'll say, "Hand in your shit".
Filmore Anderson: What about, "I have to take a shit"?
Mr. Garrison: No, Fillmore. You can say, "I have to poop and shit", or, "Oh, shit, I have to poop", but not "I have to take a shit".

Mocking Censorship
21 February 2020 | by devinhaslebacher – See all my reviews

This episode is a brilliant satire against censorship, and the over dramatization of "bad words". Matt and Trey are geniuses
