The f-word (not to be confused with the South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut alone, but Matt Parker and Trey Stone were allowed a lot more freedom for a movie than on the show. In fact, “f*ck” had never been uttered uncensored during an initial airing of South Park on Comedy Central — not even in the Cartman-has-Tourette syndrome episode “Le Petit Tourette” — The f-word (not to be confused with the other, more offensive f-word ) is uttered a staggering 146 times inSouth Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncutalone, but Matt Parker and Trey Stone were allowed a lot more freedom for a movie than on the show.
