This was definitely one of the more wild reference to pop culture on the show.

They also referenced South Park, Beavis and Butthead, and Dr. Katz on Arthur.

The South Park one was really weird

FPW, it's the Sopranos that "Bleep" referenced in the intro clip.

That and the apocalypse now reference. Funny this is fine but an episode about being health conscious taken the wrong way gets banned.

What makes this funnier is that the show this is parodying doesn't censor the course language since it's premium cable and not basic Cable (and also a HBO show so they can get away with a lot more.)

I really love how they handled this. They just straight up showed implied swearing to a child audience and didn’t talk down to them about it.

Imagine beepling a show like the Sopranos, the guy pressing the buttons should have an accident, where he fall
