Not Bad

Warning: Spoilers
This episode really expresses the "vulgar" side of South Park, actually saying "the word" over 160 times, and thats why a lot of people watch it. This episode also has the kick of poking fun at the television companies, which is hysterical to watch. And it also stereotypes a race of people for their knowledge of mythical stories, which is pretty funny. Overall it is an okay episode, but in south park episodes, this one just doesn't have the "Tom Cruise is in my Closet" randomness. This isn't by far one of the best episodes Trey and Matt have done. Some good comes out of this episode telling people to watch their language, or the world will turn to chaos. Its worth watching just for a little laugh, nothing more.

Contains the highest use of the word s**t on television!

I think this episode was an important event in television history.It was not the first time the word s**t was used on TV, but it was definitely the most times it was used.There is a counter in the episode, and according to it, the word s**t is uttered 162 times in this 22min episode...uncensored which is new for South Park.The episode is about this show called "Cop Drama" which is supposed to use the word s**t.The word then becomes acceptable to use.People also seem to be dying, by throwing up their intestines.The boys think it's because of the word.With the help of Chef, they check it out and find that the word caused the black plague.This is an interesting and history-making south park episode!

Mocking Censorship

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

Hilarious episode
Rectangular_businessman7 December 2020
I miss this side of South Park: Episodes like his managed to be clever and satirical, without having to rely on "topical" themes, and the way in which a seemingly mundane event (I do remember the time when it still was big deal having more explicit content on cable TV shows) escalates into a big , totally unexpected adventure was the kind of stuff that made me love this series.
